Skill functions and interactions
Aura Effects
- increased Accuracy Rating and Nearby Enemies take % increased Physical Damage are both aura effects that can be modified by Increased Effect of Auras.
- Aura effects are always active whether the banner is placed or not.
- Players and monsters must be inside the banners radius to receive the aura effects when the banner is placed on the ground.
Buff effects
- Adrenaline (buff) is a buff that can be modified by Increased effect of buffs on you.
- Buffs are temporary effects that only occur after placing the banner with stages.
- Destroying the placed banner by creating a new carried banner will also end the granted buff if it still has duration remaining.
