Resource Used for Spells and Skills

Skyborn Might Explained

Skyborn Might is your primary resource for casting Spells and executing Weapon and Discipline skills. Keep in mind that some skills can be used without Skyborn Might but at a cost of reduced damage, slower animation, and removed effects. Furthermore, Spells cannot be cast without Skyborn Might stacks so make sure you always have the required stacks before casting them.

Initially, you only cap at 1 Skyborn Might but as you progress further and level up, you can take Skyborn nodes at the Impetus Repository to increase it up to a maximum of 5 Skyborn Might stacks.

How to Gain Skyborn Might

Dodge Enemy Attacks

The best way to gain Skyborn Might stacks is by perfectly dodging enemy attacks. Unlike other soulslike games, dodging or Shimmering in Wuchang is somewhat generous as it provides a large iframe window to help you avoid taking damage and gain more Skyborn Might stacks.

Activate Specific Weapon Traits

Certain nodes in the Impetus Repository can allow your weapon attacks to give more Skyborn Might stacks. Their conditions can very depending on the weapon such as Sword Saint which allows your Longswords to give 1 Skyborn Might stack on the second light attack or Biding Time randomly giving Skyborn Might stacks when equipping One-handed Swords.

Use Plumed Branch to Gain Max Stacks

Use Plumed Branch to Gain Max Stacks

Aside from dodging, you can also use the Plumed Branch item to instantly provide you with the maximum amount of Skyborn Might stacks on use. Do note that using this item will not give you past your maximum amount of Skyborn Might stacks.
