Skills are the heart of combat in Arkhon Online. Every class has three branches of its own and a Master tree that opens later on.
Skill branches by class
- Warrior: Attack, Defense, Vanguard
- Assassin: Assassination, Archery, Shadow
- Mage: Fire, Ice, Lightning
- Priest: Mercy, Grace, Penance
The Master tree opens at level 60 after a special Master quest. More than 110 skills are defined in total, each with its own mana cost and cooldown.
The skill bar
- Keys 1–0 use the 10 slots of the bar.
- F1–F8 switch between the bar's 8 pages, so 80 skills and items are within reach of one hand.
- K opens the skill window; drag skills from there onto the bar.
- Right-click a slot to select it, then double right-click anywhere to use the selected skill.
Things to keep in mind in a fight
- Without enough mana a skill does not fire and a warning appears.
- Skills do not walk to the target on their own. If it is out of range you get "Target is too far away."
- A wall or a hill in the way blocks the skill; you need line of sight.
Skills chain with the normal attack (R): hits in a row such as skill + R or R + skill count as a combo, shown on screen as "KOMBO xN".
Note: the game is in development; values may change during beta testing.
