Initiative Skills

The Initiative skill is a skill that can be triggered by chance each turn. Some are triggered on the first, second, third, or fourth turn and have a 3 turn cool down. This can be distinguished by reviewing the Card Attributes and viewing the 4 circles in the Initiative Skill section. The yellow filled circle determines which turn:

Example 1: Out of the 30 turns Backstab will trigger on turns 2, 6, 10, 14, 18, 22, 26 and 30.

Most of the advanced skill (marked with a "+" or "adv." in its name) have a 3-circles pattern meaning the skill will be used each 3 turns:

Example 2: Out of the 30 turns Backstab+ will trigger on turns 1, 4, 7, 10, 13, 16, 19, 22, 25 and 28.

Finally, some skills like Revive and Resurrection have only one yellow circle. Such skill will be used automatically when the specific condition is triggered:

Example 3: the skill Revive will be used automatically upon hero's turn after his death (only once per fight).

Example 4: the skill Resurrection will be used automatically upon hero's turn after the first death of hero except itself (only once per fight).

Initiative skills have 6 levels that can be increased through fusion with the exception of a few. Each level will increase the Effect by a certain Growth amount. You can view the level by checking the card attributes as mentioned above. Leveling a skill requires fusing a card with the same exact skill as the Hero being fused with. The Effect of a skill is a Heroes ATK multiplied by a percentage. Be Sure to check out the Initiative Food page for quick reference on finding feeder cards.
