Improve Concentration (AC_CONCENTRATION) is a self-buff that sharpens an Archer's reflexes, available to the Archer class.
Overview
Improve Concentration is the Archer's main self-buff. It temporarily raises both AGI and DEX, boosting attack speed, hit rate, flee, and bow damage at once. It also acts as a detector, revealing hidden enemies and traps around the caster when used.
Mechanics
On cast the Archer gains a percentage bonus to AGI and DEX for the duration. The bonus is (2 + skill level)%, applied to the character's own AGI and DEX (equipment-card stat bonuses are excluded from the percentage). This means the buff scales with your base and gear-driven stats rather than adding a flat amount.
When cast, the skill also reveals hidden units in a 3-cell splash around the caster and exposes hidden traps in that area, and it cancels Hiding, Cloaking and Cloaking Exceed on those revealed. The AGI and DEX bonus is suppressed while the caster is under Quagmire.
Leveling
Higher levels increase both the stat bonus and the duration, while SP cost rises from 14 to 50.
| Level | AGI/DEX Bonus | Duration | SP |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | +3% | 120s | 14 |
| 5 | +7% | 200s | 30 |
| 10 | +12% | 300s | 50 |
Notes
The detection effect makes Improve Concentration useful against hidden players in PvP and for spotting trap setups. It is a prerequisite (level 10) for several Hunter and Bard/Dancer skills. Note that the percentage scaling means the buff is stronger the higher your base AGI and DEX already are.
