Weapon disciplines and skills
These are the weapon families assigned to this class and the complete set of current skills that require each family.
Bow
Rapid Arrows
After using the skill, Blackarrow enters Volley mode, allowing you to hold Light Strike to rapidly fire up to 5 arrows for a certain duration, dealing Physical Damage. During Volley, shooting does not reduce Movement Speed. Dodging removes Volley.
Scattershot
Cast this skill to fire 7 arrows forward simultaneously, dealing Physical Damage to enemies on hit and knocking them back. Scattershot has a shorter base cooldown in trio mode.
Frostblight Bomb
Hold to aim and throw a Frostblight Bomb. It detonates after a delay upon hitting terrain or characters, Freezing enemies within range for a period of time. Frostblight Bomb has a shorter base cooldown in trio mode.
Sky Piercer
Cast this skill to fully draw the bow and fire a powerful arrow in a straight line toward the crosshairs, dealing Physical Damage on hit. The arrow can pierce 5 units.
Predator's Senses
Cast this skill to take out a secret herbal mixture to heighten your sense of smell, allowing you to sniff out nearby enemies at set intervals for a period of time. Each time, if enemy players are within range, a temporary scent trail appears pointing toward the nearest enemy player. The closer an enemy player is to the Blackarrow, the more blood-red the scent trail looks. Limited uses per match.
Impact Grenade
Hold to aim and throw an Impact Grenade, which can stick to characters and the environment. It detonates after a period or when using the skill again. The explosion deals Physical Damage to enemies in range and knocks back all units in the area. Knockback distance increases with proximity to the grenade. Impact Grenade has a shorter base cooldown in trio mode.
Shadow Step
After using this skill, Blackarrow enters Stealth. After Stealth ends, Charge Speed will briefly increase, and you can use the skill again within a short time to re-enter Stealth. You can do this up to 3 times. Collision with other units is ignored while in Stealth. Shadow Step has a shorter base cooldown in trio mode.
Innate actions and follow-ups
These named weapon actions are triggered by basic attacks, dodges, resources, or other effects. They are not additional skill-slot choices.
Shooting
Press Light Strike to quickly shoot the currently loaded arrow.
Hold Light Strike to charge the bow. Charging does not consume Energy and increases the arrow's Damage Multiplier, Impact, Effective Range, and Maximum Range. After fully drawing, you enter an Aiming state for a short time.
