Maximum Might Skill Effect

Skill Effects Per Level

Maximum Might Skill
Increases affinity if stamina is kept full for a period of time.
Level Effect
1 Affinity +10% while active
2 Affinity +20% while active
3 Affinity +30% while active

Maximum Might increases affinity whenever your stamina is kept in full. This provides a whopping +30% Affinity at max level and can be easily maintained on certain weapons.

Activates After 3 Seconds

As soon as the game have logged your stamina to be full, Maximum Might activates after 3 seconds. Upon using your stamina, a 2-second grace period is implemented where Maximum Might remains active. As of version 1.011, the grace period does not reset when your stamina becomes full again.

What is Affinity?

Works Well With Second Wind

Maximum Might and Second Wind has this unique interaction that enables you to use the extra stamina bar first from Second Wind. The game only checks your original stamina bar and not the extra one from Second Wind, so you can maintain an almost 100% uptime for Maximum Might.
