What Are Skill Gems?

New Active Skills

Skill Gems are socketable gems that provide active skill when equipped. These skills are tied to the different weapon types found in the game.

How to Use Skill Gems

Slot In to Unlock New Skills

Skill gems are items that can be equipped in the skill menu to unlock new abilities. These new skills are spammable and consume mana. However, they have a fixed attack speed or cast speed, making them slightly slower to cast compared to your basic attack. You can enhance the effects of your attack gems by slotting support gems with matching tags to make them more effective.
