Assassin Cross of Sunset is a Bard song that quickens the attack speed of nearby party members.

Overview

The Bard plays a driving tune that raises the attack speed of party members standing in the song's area. It is a staple offensive buff for physical parties. Like all songs it drains a little SP each second while it plays, slows the Bard's movement, and fades shortly after the party leaves the area or the Bard changes maps.

Mechanics

• Attack speed bonus = (5 + 2 × SkillLv)%
• Area of effect: 7×7 around the performer
• The song plays for up to 3 minutes; the buff lingers for 1 minute after an ally leaves the area.
• Drains 1 SP every 5 seconds while performing.
