Skills and Abilities

Stab

Basic physical attack.

Off-Hand Strike

A physical attack dealing minor damage. If it hits in the back, it also staggers and applies a bleeding effect. They always use this attack when they reappear behind from using their salt abilities.

Throw Dagger

The enemy backs away from the player and throws a dagger at the player. This attack causes snare and bleed if it connects. This attack can be interrupted to set the enemy off balance. The dagger can be blocked to prevent the snare and bleed and reduce the damage done.

Lunge

When far, the swashbuckler charges the target, dealing damage and staggering it.

Volatile Pool

Also known as Fiery Oil. Ranged AOE attack. Throws potion which causes the targeted area to be set on fire, indicated by a circular AoE. Causes fire damage.

Fire Salt Explosion

The enemy throws down fire salts, causing an explosion and starting a fire, indicated by a circular AoE, that deals damage over time when you stand in it. The initial blast does fire damage. The enemy disappears and cannot be targeted while the ability is active.

Burning Fire Salts

The fire started by Fire Salt Explosion. Deals flame damage over time.

Void Salt Explosion

The enemy throws down void salts, causing an explosion and setting down a gout of lightning, indicated by a circular AoE, that deals damage over time when you stand in it. The initial blast does lightning damage. The enemy disappears and cannot be targeted while the ability is active.

Burning Void Salts

The pool of lightning caused by Void Salt Explosion. Deals lightning damage over time.

Roll-Dodge

The swashbuckler rolls to evade incomming damage for a brief period.

Somersault

The enemy somersaults backwards to put distance between you and them.

Twirling Lunge

When standing further away, the enemy holds their weapon in a rear-handed stance, with a yellow glow visible around their weapons, then dash forward and strike their target, dealing moderate physical damage and knocking the target back.

Bugs

• While the swashbuckler is sprinting to perform "Twirling Lunge", blocking spark indicators appear around you, instead of around them, and blocking the attack doesn't set them off-balance. ^?
