Usage Strategies
Being one of the buffs the usage is turn it on and keep it on.
The must have buff for melee fighters.
Suggested Modification:
Bronze: Permonition, the extra damage of Aggression is all fine and well but if you can't hit them you don't get the chance to damage. With the extra attack value you should hit more often.
Silver: Drill, without this your other CA can be seriously crippled for regen time if you raise this CA up to respectable levels.
Gold: Idol if you're playing with others, Retaliation if you're not. The low chance of the retalaition limits it's usefulness, but if you're not playing with others Idol is just a waste.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Increased combat skill all round
- Being a buff, not having to wonder if you use it now or wait to see what comes after this latest group.
