Seven paths, thirty-five evolving skills, and seven masteries for building a hero up to level 50.
Hero building
One point, one lasting choice
Each character level grants one skill point. The five ranks unlock at character levels 1, 5, 10, 20, and 30, and every skill accepts up to five points.
50points at level 50
4paths maximum per hero
5 × 5ranks and skill levels
20points to unlock mastery
Up to four paths
The hero’s starting path can be complemented by three secondary paths: Physical Defence, Magic Resistance, and Auras.
A one-point prerequisite
One point in the preceding skill is enough to learn the next at the required character level. Its skill level may exceed that of the preceding skill.
Mastery at 20 points
Each path has five skills with five levels, up to 25 points. Its mastery unlocks at 20 invested points without any additional spending.
Specialisation
One starting path, three secondary paths
Your hero’s first path
The Knight starts on the Sword Path, the Archer on the Bow Path, the Battle Mage on the Arcane Path, and Soraline on her own path. The first point in their initial attack is permanent and cannot be removed.
Sword, Bow, Arcane, and Soraline are the hero-specific paths and cannot be selected as secondary paths. Physical Defence, Magic Resistance, and Auras remain available to every hero.
Invest and revise
In the skill browser, left click invests a point and right click refunds it. Ctrl+click handles up to five points, and Ctrl+Shift+click the maximum allowed. The budget, cap, and prerequisite point stay protected. Emptying a secondary path releases its slot.
Skills can also be reset for free from the character sheet. Attributes have a separate reset and confirmation.
In play
Reading and using skills in combat
Damage and timing in tooltips
Evaluated offensive skills show the average damage of the main hit, including critical hits, and the theoretical interval between uses. The displayed DPS divides that damage by the interval. The calculation accounts for coefficients, learned synergies, the applicable mastery, and cooldowns.
This estimate is calculated before target defences. Additional effects such as bleeding are listed separately. A skill is shown as unavailable if its cost exceeds maximum Energy.
Auras in a party
Friendly auras benefit allies in range, both with solo companions and online. If two heroes use the same aura, only the strongest applies. The next strongest takes over if the first ends or its caster moves out of range. Different aura types combine.
Active auras keep their skill level and remaining duration when crossing into another floor or crypt. Their targets are recalculated on arrival, with no reactivation or extra cost. Auras cannot cross the boundary of a sealed arena.

The seven paths and their ranks
Each path unlocks its mastery at 20 invested points. Passive masteries apply automatically. Precision takes an action bar slot and is removed from the bar if Soraline drops below 20 points.
The synergies shown on each skill card depend on the level of the skill that grants them and stay active off the action bar.
