Skills explanation of Ezio in Reverse 1999

Below are the details of Ezio’s skills in Reverse 1999:

• Work in the Dark (Skill 1): It is a single-target attack that deals reality damage to enemies. It is counted as an Assassination. The Assassin effect buffs this attack’s final damage based on the Critical Technique Ezio has over the enemy.
• Serve the Light (Skill 2): It is a counter-type attack that inflicts the Eyes Caught effect on an enemy that has the most attack-type incantation in their queue. After that, he enters the Fighting Experience status.
• Branding of Faith (Ultimate Skill): Ezio selects one enemy and attacks it with Arrow of Faith or Edge of Faith multiple times. Then, he casts Death Be Not Unkind.

Effects explanation

• Fighting Experience: It causes Ezio in Reverse 1999 to riposte with a Counter Kill, dealing reality damage.
• Arrow of Faith/Edge of Faith: They both deal reality damage to one enemy. If the enemy’s HP is below a certain percentage, Arrow of Faith deals an additional reality damage. Edge of Faith deals extra damage if they have HP above a certain threshold. These attacks count as an Assassin.
• Death Be Not Unkind: It deals reality damage to a single enemy. It also counts as an Assassin.
