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.
