NEW NEW NEW

The Skills update!

But.. uhhh.. how? and which? and .... !!!I don't understand!!!

Well :), the same goes for me. I have yet to find all the details and specs about these new talents. And since we did not get a manual.. we as a Community should figure this out.

So lets make a topic about these skill things.
I start with a beginning, but am looking for more information. If anybody knows how or what, please chip in!



Ingame message explaining Skills



What is it?

So, our Sicarios can now get some extra skill. We can add them to each Sicario, and they only account for that specific Sicario. Once a Skill is used, it sticks to that Sicario.

We can also change the type of Slot. This means each round circle below can be changed to a different color/type.
We get the options: Attack - Defense - Debuff
A certain skill also falls in to one of these categories.


Sicario Skill Screen


EXPERTISE
You'll unlock Skill slots for your Sicarios as their Expertise ranks up.

There are two ways to get expertise points:
1. Upgrade your Sicarios
2. Use Expert Cards

As soon as you get enough Expertise points, your Expertise will level up and new skill slots will become available. The maximum Expertise level a sicario can utilize is also dependent on the Sicario's rank. If you’ve reached the maximum level of Expertise, you will need to rank up your sicario to open new skills.

Max level expertise is 21. You need to have a purple Sicario for that.


Some Expertise levels will give a bonus to a Sicario’s damage and health in addition to adding skill slots.

You can also fuse skills you possess to get new ones and change a Sicario’s skill specialization using dice!



Expertise upgrade


Unlock slot requierment


Expertise Upgrade requierment

You have 2 associated items..
- Expertise Card - These are use to upgrade Expertise of a Sicario
- Dice - A Dice can change a Skill Slot on your Sicario. For example from Defense to Attack


Expertise Card

Dice


You can obtain skills in 2 ways:
- 1 - Obtain a Skills Chest
- 2 - Skills will be coming through events for free
In this chest you will find 1 Skill ranging from level 1 to 5


Skills Chest


Expertise Bonus
When leveling up your Sicario and its Expertise level, you get additional Bonuses on your Sicari

Below a list of what we know
(I added the source Sicario, just to make sure we figure out if these bonuses differ between Sics)

Expertise Level
Level 2 - +3 Dmg (Bernardo)
Level 4 - +5 Dmg (Mad Dog)
Level 6 - +5 Dmg (El Lion, Jengi)
Level 7 - +87 Health (Poison)
Level 8 - +10 Dmg (Diego)
Level 9 - +262 Health (Diego)
Level 11 - +178 health (Darwin)
Level 13 - +383 Health (Diego)
Level 18 - +10 dmg (Diego)





Skills

Each skill will belong to one of the four groups:
1. Attack (increase damage dealt by a sicario)
2. Defense (increase survivability of a sicario)
3. Disarmament (prevent other units from attacking a sicario)

Together with basic effects, you will be able to add universal skills which can be placed in any slot.

Choose a set of skills to activate a special bonus.

Here’s a short summary of the effects you can receive from skills:

Good work man! Congrats! One thing I´ve noticed is that every skill card has a number, I think from 1 to 5, maybe this are skill levels, as talent levels?

Thanks!

This was a great post with lots of helpful info. I wanted to add that Skills will be coming through events for free, so not just from chests. The first event with Skills as rewards will be in 3 days, on the 28th.

Also, this update is just the start of what skills will become. Please see the announcement section of the forum for some more insight into the future of this feature =).

So just to be clear, none of this stuff is available yet? Is that correct?

Anybody else who has more details? Anything will help for now.

After reading Chases topic a few times I think there is indeed a anti NoDeploy strategie. But the Bonusses will make it much more usefull.

Can we maybe get a example on how these bonuses work Chase?
