Combo refers to the accumulated counts when Aran makes hits during the use of skills or attack.

For every 50 combos, 1st passive skill called ‘Combo Ability’ is activated and Aran receives Crit Rate and Crit ATK RES buffs, which can be stacked up to 5 times. Not making hits for 10 seconds results in the decrease of 10 combos, so make sure to continuously attack monsters to maintain combo counts!

However, when using the ‘Final Blow’ skill during manual play, Aran will not be pushed back with successful skill effect. Please see the chart below for details on Aran’s skills, which may gain additional stats with manual play. (Command Mastery I, Finisher – Hunter’s Prey, Storm of Fear, etc.)
