[Elite - Tempest Guard (Conditional Passive Skill) Lv. 8]
[A defensive stance enhanced by water and lightning energy. The passive effect grants a consistent defensive buff, while the active component triggers a counter-shockwave when parrying.
Passive Effect:
Increases defense by 15% for 7 seconds after entering the stance.
Triggered on Successful Parry:
Releases a shockwave that deals 100% AoE damage to enemies within 3 meters.
Restores a small amount of stamina per successful parry.]
This skill was nothing short of extraordinary. Every time Atlas adopted a defensive stance, his defense was automatically boosted by 15%. On top of that, whenever he successfully parried an attack, a burst of AoE damage radiated outwards, and he gained stamina regeneration!
"Seriously?! This skill is ridiculously overpowered!"
