Offense 

Deathblow

To perform a Deathblow, defeat an enemy by hitting its Weakpoint. Some pieces of equipment will grant you bonuses for performing a Deathblow

 

Takedown

Whenever an enemy becomes stunned or is made vulnerable, you can perform a Takedown to deal a large amount of damage. Takedowns can even defeat enemies outright.

• Takedowns can critically hit.
• Takedown damage value seems independent of damage value of currently equipped weapon.

 

Polarity Attack

Unleash your Polarity Attack by swapping Weapons after you have built up enough charge. A Polarity Attack releases a shockwave that damages nearby enemies while simultaneously increasing your Weapon's damage.

• Charge up your Polarity Attack by hitting Enemies with your weapon. When fully charged, swapping Weapons will unleash a shockwave that damages nearby enemies and boosts your weapon's damage by 20% for 30 seconds.
• Shockwave damage is increased by Spirit.
• Swapping weapons will reset your Polarity Attack charge and remove any damage boosts from previous Polarity Attacks.

 

Rampage

Land multiple weapon hits in a short period of time to enter Rampage, where you deal 20 % more damage. Lose Rampage if you don't hit an enemy for 10 seconds. Stay in the fray and attack!

 

Soulshatter

Soulshatter is an additional way to deal damage to your opponents.

• Light attacks and your Northern Technique apply Soulshatter Buildup to the enemy's Health bar.
• Heavy attacks and your Southern Technique consume all Soulshatter Buildup to deal Soulshatter Damage.
• To Soulshatter an enemy, defeat the enemy by dealing Soulshatter Damage.

Every Valorian knight learns to affect their opponents' internal Aetherium. As a Valorian strikes their foes, they make small rents in their enemies' spiritual fabric. Then, at the right tactical moment, a powerful strike is delivered that will turn these fractures into a large internal detonation. When performed correctly, this move could utterly destroy a being.

  

Weakpoints

Weakpoints indicate vulnerable hit locations on your enemies. Hit enemy Weakpoints to deal increased damage and knock them down.

• Weakpoints will only appear under specific circumstances after you unlock them in your Skills.
• You inflict a Deathblow whenever you defeat an enemy by striking a Weakpoint.

 

Archon Fury

Each Valorplate is capable of a display of power known as Archon Fury. While Archon Fury is active, you will gain unique abilities depending on the Valorplate.

• Your damage is increased while Archon Fury is active.
• You don't take damage while Archon Fury is active. Instead, enemy hits reduce the duration.
• Activating Archon Fury will deliver a powerful initial effect.
• While Archon Fury is active, each Valorplate gains unique ongoing traits. 

Archon Fury can only be activated when the Valorplate has built up a sufficient charge of Aethenum. Cunning warriors will know the right moment to unleash their full powers neither waiting too long or activating too frivolously.

Breach

As you damage an Enemy, you also deal Breach damage. After dealing enough Breach damage to fill the enemy's Breach bar, they become stunned and vulnerable to a Takedown.

• Heavy Attacks deal increased Breach damage.
• Different types of Weapons deal different amounts of Breach damage.
• Breach damage amount is independent of a weapons listed damage amount.

 

Critical Hit

Attacks have a random chance to become Critical Hits, where they deal increased damage.

• By default, Critical Hits deal +50% damage. You have a base 5% chance to perform a Critical Hit.
• You can increase both your Critical Hit chance and your Critical Hit damage with your abilities and equipment.

Defense

Defense Character

Three defensive maneuvers available to you are Evade, Block, and Parry:

• Evade enemy attacks to dodge a short distance and avoid taking damage for a small period of time. You may improve your Evade using the Finesse skill.
• Block enemy attacks with your Shield to prevent the incoming damage.
• Parry enemy attacks by properly timing your Block, to prevent the incoming damage and briefly stagger nearby enemies. Parries can also reflect projectiles. 

The basic Shield Block is capable of preventing the damage of most attacks. However, particularly powerful enemy attacks such as the Perilous Attack or a Red Power Attack can impact you through the Block.

• Whenever an enemy makes a Perilous Attack, the attack will glow blue. Successfully parrying these attacks will leave enemies vulnerable for a short time.
• Whenever an enemy makes a Red Power Attack, the attack will glow red, These attacks cannot be blocked or parried. Evade quickly to avoid the strike.

 

Red Power Attack

• Power Attacks cannot be parried or blocked, and always knock you down, evade them.

 

Shield

Your Shield is a key part of your arsenal. It has powerful defensive and offensive applications.

• Block enemy attacks with your Shield to prevent incoming damage.
• Parry enemy attacks by properly timing your Block to prevent incoming damage and briefly stagger nearby enemies. Parries can also reflect projectiles.
• Perform a Shield Throw to throw your Shield and hit enemies at range. Shield Throw uses all of your Shield charge.
• Perform a Petrifying Slam to deal damage to nearby enemies and petrify enemies Breached by the attack. Petrifying Slam uses all of your Shield charge.
• Shield Bash damages an enemy and knocks it down. 
• Spinning Blast damages an enemy and can interrupt Red Power Attacks. If your Shield is Primed, this attack will petrify Breached enemies and return your Shield to normal.
