[/list] [b]Diery falchions (Dual Falchions):[/b] [list] [*] HIT MARKER: Every 6 seconds, a mark appears on an enemy for a short period. Hitting them with a basic attack makes it explode.

[/list] [h3]CALIE[/h3] [b]Polytechnical Gmmes (Gems):[/b] [list] [*] AERIAL STRIKE: Every 8 seconds, your next double jump will bombard the enemy positions in front of you with 5 feathers. Timeless classic. [*] CONDUCTIVE PROPERTY: Using your signatire spell creates an energy orb on each gem and links them together with a damage-dealing energy. Practical. [*] FIELD SUPPLIES: A crystal will grow on the ground after 5 seconds. You can destroy it with 3 basic attack to create 5 gems that you can recall with your signature spell. A thrifty solution. [/list] [b]Service Spear (Spear):[/b] [list] [*] CALL TO ARMS: When using your signature spell, you call forth spears that pierce the enemies around you for 2,2 seconds. [*] WOLF HOLE: A mark will appear every 5 seconds on enemies around Calie. Doing a Top Attack will consume the mark and create an area attack around it, knocking the enemies toward Calie's position.

[/list] [b]Unbreakable Rempart (Shield):[/b] [list] [*] SIEGE BREAKER: A destructible block will appear after 7 seconds. Breaking it will launch 3 damage dealing debris accross the battlefield. Disappointing craft. [*] DEFENSIVE MEASURES: Using your signature spell creates a force field around Calie. Each gem recalled will be deflected by it and launched toward a nearby enemy. Impenetrable. [*] AVENGING SHIELD: After 5 seconds, the last attack of your basic attack combo will launch a shield that bounces 6 times off enemies. Old efficient trick. [/list] [h3]OCTAVE[/h3] [b]Pistor Vocatis (Dual pistols):[/b] [list] [*] ORBUS MINORIS: Every 8 seconds, you summon Pluto, a flying drone that follows you and attack enemies hit with a close-range basic attack.

(I hope she'll like it) [*] ANIMA VAMPIRIS: After each kill, Octave stores his enemy's power into 1 orb (max 3). Your basic attack consumes 1 orb to release a powerful shot. (Is that what it felt like, Mother?)
