cavalry (time-limited value)

Skills

  1. Skill 1
    Fierce as the Fire

    Sets a four-second Burn on one target; basic attacks on it may make it take much more normal damage for a moment.

  2. Skill 2
    Swift as the Wind

    Cavalry gain attack, and basic attacks sometimes speed the march for a few seconds.

  3. Skill 3
    Gentle as the Forest

    After each cast of his active his troop heals a little every second for four seconds; an all-cavalry troop gains defence.

  4. Skill 4
    Immovable as the Mountain

    His troop takes a little less skill damage, and basic attacks it takes may cut normal and counter damage taken briefly.

  5. Awakened
    Kōshū-ryū Gungaku

    His troop deals more normal attack damage to targets carrying his Burn.
