📚 Skill Categories
3 Skill Types: Active (Combat) → Passive (Permanent Bonuses) → Utility
(Support/Buff)
🔴 Active Skills (Combat)
Skills that require activation and consume resources (FP or cooldown). Deal damage or apply effects.
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| Resource Cost | FP (Mana) or Cooldown-only. Melee = Lower FP, Magic = Higher FP |
| Cooldown | Time before skill can be used again. Subject to CDR stat reduction |
| Damage Type | Physical (PATK scaling) or Magic (MATK scaling) |
| Element | None, Fire, Water, Earth, Wind. Affects elemental damage calculation |
| Range | Melee (5m) or Ranged (15m+). Determines valid targets |
| Effect | Damage, Stun, Slow, Knockback, Heal, etc. |
🟢 Passive Skills (Permanent)
Skills that are always active and provide permanent bonuses to stats or mechanics.
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| Bonus Type | Stat bonus (+STR, +PATK), Mechanic bonus (+Crit Rate), Resistance bonus |
| Scaling | Flat (e.g., +10 STR) or Percentage (e.g., +5% PATK) |
| Conditions | Some passives only work with certain weapon types or in specific situations |
| Stack Behavior | Additive (all bonuses add together) or specific stacking rules |
🔵 Utility Skills (Support)
Skills that provide buffs, debuffs, crowd control, or movement enhancement.

| Target | Self, Single Target, AoE, or Party-wide |
| Effect Type | Buff (beneficial), Debuff (harmful), CC (crowd control) |
| Dispellable | Whether another player can remove the effect |
⏱️ Cooldown System
Cooldown Reduction (CDR) stat reduces skill cooldown time. Formula: Effective_CD = Base_CD × (1 - CDR%)
Cooldown Calculation
Base Cooldown: Defined per skill (e.g., 5 seconds)
CDR Stat Cap: 35% (hard cap)
Formula:
Effective_CD = Base_CD × (1 - CDR%)
Examples (Base 10s skill):
- No CDR: 10s
- 10% CDR: 10 × (1 - 0.10) = 9s
- 25% CDR: 10 × (1 - 0.25) = 7.5s
- 35% CDR (max): 10 × (1 - 0.35) = 6.5s
Minimum Cooldown:
- Cannot reduce below 1 second (hard limit)
- Even with 99% CDR, skill has 1s minimum CD
Cooldown Categories
| Category | Base CD Range | Use Case | Examples |
|---|---|---|---|
| Instant Cast | 0.5 - 1.5s | Quick, spammable abilities | Basic attack combos, quick stuns |
| Short CD | 3 - 6s | Regular combat rotation | Basic skills, AOE damage |
| Medium CD | 8 - 15s | Signature abilities | Major damage skills, key utility |
| Long CD | 20 - 45s | Powerful abilities | Ultimate-style abilities, party buffs |
| Very Long CD | 60s+ | Game-changing abilities | Revival, mass teleport, major buffs |
💪 Skill Scaling System
Damage Scaling Formula
Skill_Damage = Base_Damage × Multiplier + Stat_Scaling × Stat_Value + Flat_Bonus
Where:
- Base_Damage: Weapon damage (for physical skills)
- Multiplier: Skill's % of base damage (e.g., 150% = 1.5)
- Stat_Scaling: How much each stat point adds (e.g., 2.0 means +2 damage per STR)
- Stat_Value: Character's stat value (STR, INT, DEX, etc.)
- Flat_Bonus: Fixed damage bonus from skill
Examples:
⚔️ PHYSICAL SKILL (Power Strike - Warrior):
Multiplier: 150%
Scaling: STR × 2.0 (high scaling, melee focused)
Flat Bonus: +30
Calculation at STR 100, Weapon 200:
Skill_Damage = 200 × 1.5 + 100 × 2.0 + 30 = 300 + 200 + 30 = 530 damage
✨ MAGIC SKILL (Fireball - Spiritualist):
Multiplier: 180%
Scaling: INT × 3.0 (very high INT scaling)
Flat Bonus: +50
Calculation at INT 120, Weapon 150:
Skill_Damage = 150 × 1.8 + 120 × 3.0 + 50 = 270 + 360 + 50 = 680 damage
Scaling Stat by Skill Type
| Skill Type | Primary Stat | Scaling Factor | Secondary Scaling |
|---|---|---|---|
| Physical (Melee) | STR | 1.5 - 3.0x | +Weapon damage multiplier, +DEX for crit bonus |
| Physical (Ranged) | STR | 1.0 - 2.0x | +DEX for crit rate & accuracy, +PATK × 0.3-0.5 |
| Magic | INT | 2.0 - 4.0x | +Elemental Affinity bonus, +DEX for crit |
| Hybrid | STR or INT | 1.0 - 2.0x each | Balanced between two stats, +DEX for crit |
| Support/Heal | INT | 1.5 - 2.5x | +Heal Effectiveness stat, +STA for durability |
