Skills

  1. Skill 1
    Arrow of Vengeance

    A skill hit on one march; if it is poisoned, all its poison is spent for an extra hit per stack, heavier above ten stacks.

  2. Skill 2
    Payback

    Attacking a city her march gains attack but deals less counterattack damage.

  3. Skill 3
    For the Sun

    Her archers gain attack, and her basic attacks sometimes strip part of the target's defence for three seconds.

  4. Skill 4
    Massagetae's Counterattack

    Her basic attacks may poison the target: up to 15 stacks, each raising the skill damage it takes, renewed with every new stack.

  5. Awakened
    Pouch of Blood

    Her march gains attack and counterattack damage, and cavalry that hit it with basic attacks lose attack while they keep fighting.
