- Base skill
- Whenever you cast an elemental spell, your weapon attacks deal additional damage of that spell's element and apply a stack of the corresponding elemental status effects to targets hit. Casting a spell of a different element switches this effect to the new element.[1][2]
Elements | Icon | Description |
---|---|---|
Fire | Applies one Burning stack on the target upon weapon attack.[1] | |
Ice | Applies one Chilled stack on the target upon weapon attack.[1] | |
Electric | Applies one Electrified stack on the target upon weapon attack.[1] |
Basic attacks
Basic attacks are triggered for the equipped primary weapon by pressing Q or left-clicking the mouse (these buttons can be re-bound by the player).[3][4][5]
- Players can select which weapon they wish to use as their primary weapon for basic attacks.[3][4][6]
- Different weapon types have different basic attacks.[7][8]
- Weapons with projectile attacks are capable of blind firing without having a target.[9]
- If the player is in action camera mode and their reticle is over a target, they will be able to soft lock onto that target, causing projectiles to home to targets who are within the correct range/angle.[9]
- When you have your weapon and you utilize a basic attack, you can blind fire that weapon, if it has a projectile associated with it, without having to have a target. In addition, if your reticle in action camera mode is over a target, you will have a soft target lock and projectiles will home to that target if within the right angle of direction.[9] – Steven Sharif
- Sequences of basic attacks trigger the combat animation montage based on the weapon type.[5]
- Using a skill other than a basic attack will in general reset the weapon use combo system.[10]
- The developers are considering per-use consumables/buffs that apply certain rider effects to basic weapon attacks.[11]
