War Banner
War Banner is a banner aura skill. While the banner is active, it grants the user and nearby allies increased accuracy and causes nearby enemies to take increased physical damage. When placed, the Banner provides Adrenaline to nearby allies.
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.
- Because war banner has an aura that affects you and allies, it can be supported by generosity support. Generosity Support will increase all aura effects, including those that affect enemies like Nearby Enemies take % increased Physical Damage.
Buff effects
- Adrenaline 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.
