Into the Abyss is a duet performed together by a Bard and Dancer. While it lasts, party members in view can use skills without spending their catalyst items.
Overview
Into the Abyss is an ensemble skill, so it requires a nearby partner performer to start. Once active, it lets the party cast freely without burning through gemstones and other skill catalysts, which is valuable during sustained fights where those items would otherwise run out.
Mechanics
- Requires a nearby partner performer and a Musical Instrument or Whip to begin (a duet).
- Party members within view can cast skills without consuming the catalyst items those skills normally require. They must still own the required items.
- Duration is 20 seconds per skill level.
- Only one duet effect can be active at a time.
- The effect is removed when the caster changes maps.
Leveling
| Level | Duration | SP cost |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 20 s | 20 |
| 2 | 40 s | 30 |
| 3 | 60 s | 40 |
Requirements
SP as listed by level, a Musical Instrument (Bard) or Whip (Dancer) equipped, and a nearby partner performer to form the duet.
Notes
- Because members still need to own their catalyst items, Into the Abyss stretches a limited stock further rather than removing the requirement to carry them.
- Starting any other duet replaces this one, since only a single duet can run at a time.
