Cone Attack

Category: Terminology
Some monster abilities will hit multiple characters, so long as they are in front of the mob.
"In front" generally means the 45° arc in the direction the mob is facing. 
The cone has a variable lentgth, depending on the monster and ability being used.
These are frequently called "Breath" or "Gaze" attacks by NA players. Gaze attacks are denoted below with a *, and can be avoided by turning one's back on the monster before it uses the ability.
