Active Abilities

Active Abilities are the active abilities that Kinfolk can use during combat or in the open world. Most abilities are used to fight against restless Kinfolk, but depending on its effect, it can also be used for other things. Some Kinfolk may have unique active abilities that are limited to their evolution line. This page is subject to change over the course of the Alpha.

Characteristics of Active Abilities

Active Abilities have various characteristics that help differentiate and define them.

• Attack Category: Each active ability has a category that defines them.
• Type: Each active ability has one of the 9 Types associated with it.
• Cooldown: Almost all abilities have a cooldown. There may be some abilities that do not have a cooldown.
• Targeting: Each ability has some sort of targeting against themselves or their enemies / allies.

Cooldown

Most abilities have cooldowns. Lore-wise, this would be the stamina of each individual ability.

Attack Category

These categories are very work in progress and are not the final categories.

• Physical Attack: Damaging abilities that use physical force for their attack, often melee abilities.
• Special Attack: Damaging abilities that can have unique effects, often ranged abilities.
• Status Attack: Mostly non-damaging abilities that inflict status effects or temporarily change stats of your or the enemy Kinfolk by one or more stages.

Type

Main article: Types

Each active ability also has a type. Active abilities that share the same type as the Kinfolk using them deal 10% increased damage.

Targeting

Each Active Ability can be used for targeting in one of three different ways:

• Self: The ability can only be used on the user and does not require aiming.
• Single Target: The ability can be used on any targeted Kinfolk in the field.
• Area: The ability can be used on the ground or surrounding area.

Stages

Stages are a term used to describe the buff level of a stat. When using an ability that buffs or debuffs the user, the buffed stats will be multiplied by different amounts. Stat buffs and debuffs can stack up to a maximum of 6 times.
