List of Contents
Skill | Effect & Reason |
---|---|
Assassination | Best Finisher Skill Andrias' Assassination is easily his best skill as it bypasses its cooldown when used as a finisher against foes, allowing you to chain the skill should the enemies surrounding you have low enough health. |
Wings of the Storm | Best Crowd Control Skill Wings of the Storm makes Wyvern Riders worth having in your party as it can help you manage the positioning of enemy units with ease and set up strategies accordingly. |
Cyclone | Best DPS Skill Having a good base attack power, wide range, and excellent skill upgrades, Cyclone is considered the best DPS skill in the game, giving you another reason why you should have a Wyvern Rider in your team. |
Frostbind | Best Interruption Skill Frostbind is definitely the best skill to use in order to stop enemies from their tracks and ultimately cancel out their attacks. While there are other skills that can inflict the same effect like Stun, Frostbind inflicts Freeze them instead, which lasts 5 seconds longer than the former. |
Sanctuary | Best Healing Skill Considerably the best party-wide healing skill for its high recovery rate, as well as a guaranteed Tenacity buff upon upgrading. |
