cavalry primary

Skills

  1. Skill 1
    Excalibur

    As primary, two fan-shaped combo strikes on up to three marches; as secondary, one heavier direct skill hit on the same fan.

  2. Skill 2
    Y Ddraig Goch

    Cavalry always march faster; when fighting a field march they also gain attack and health.

  3. Skill 3
    Scabbard of Avalon

    As primary his combo hits grow stronger, as secondary his skill damage does; both bonuses triple against field marches.

  4. Skill 4
    Merlin's Magick

    Against field marches his hits may drain enemy rage over two seconds, and each active cast briefly speeds the march.

  5. Awakened
    Mab Darogan

    As primary, normal attacks may add an extra combo strike; as secondary, direct hits may echo for half their factor.
