A Drum on the Battlefield is a duet performed by a Bard and Dancer that raises the party's offensive power for a full minute.
Overview
This ensemble skill grants both physical and magical attack to party members in view, making it a broad damage buff that helps every attacker regardless of whether they rely on ATK or MATK. Like all duets, it needs a partner performer to begin.
Mechanics
- Requires a nearby partner performer and a Musical Instrument or Whip to begin (a duet).
- Grants party members within view both increased ATK and increased MATK.
- Bonus: +ATK and +MATK equal to 10 + (10 × SkillLv).
- Lasts 60 seconds.
- Only one duet effect can be active at a time.
- The effect is removed when the caster changes maps.
Leveling
| Level | ATK bonus | MATK bonus | Duration | SP cost |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | +20 | +20 | 60 s | 30 |
| 2 | +30 | +30 | 60 s | 45 |
| 3 | +40 | +40 | 60 s | 60 |
Notes
- Because it raises both ATK and MATK, the buff is useful to melee, ranged, and caster party members alike.
- Starting any other duet replaces this one, since only a single duet can run at a time.
