Skills
From ROSEna Wiki
A skill is a special move that is unique to a class and that a player can learn with Skill Books. There are different types of skills and they are described in more details below.
Skill types
There are 4 types of skills:
- Passive Skills: Such skills cannot be triggered. Their effects and bonuses are constant and always present.
- Active Skills: Such skills can usually be casted on self (or sometimes targets) and allow the player to do specific actions that aren't offensive or supportive. Example: Sit.
- Offensive Skills: Such skills can only be used on or affect enemies. They usually deal damage to the target and/or inflict some status ailment such as Slow.
- Supportive Skills: Such skills are usually used on self or allies. They are used to heal, buff or grant beneficial abilities to the targeted player.
Skill usage
The different phases of the skill activation are as follows:
- The skill is used: MP is consumed and the skill effect is shown.
- Some skills work on a "success rate": if it failed, the desired effect did not happen or was not inflicted to the target (i.e. missed the target).
- A casting delay applies: as long as the skill is "shadowed" in the Hotkey bar or Skill window, it cannot be used. When the delay ends the player is able to use the skill again.
