Overview

Dark­ness is considered a "Level 3" Skillchain.

Skills with the following Skillchain attributes can be used to form or continue a Dark­ness Skillchain:

Double Darkness

Level 4 Darkness, though identical to Darkness in every way known, is technically a level 4 Skillchain.

Deals Dark, Earth, Water, or Ice damage. Damage type is picked by monster's elemental resistances, and in the case of equal resistances it generally follows the pattern of Ice > Earth > Water > Dark.

For a two-step Level 4 Darkness, the Skillchain damage mirrors the final Weapon Skill before resistances or bonuses. Skillchain damage of a given element can be enhanced with day/weather bonuses from the Elemental Obis and by Staves. See the main Skillchain page for more information.

Notes

Deals Dark, Earth, Water, or Ice damage. Damage type is picked by monster's elemental resistances, and in the case of equal resistances it generally follows the pattern of Ice > Earth > Water > Dark.

For a two-step Skillchain, damage mirrors the final Weapon Skill before resistances or bonuses. Skillchain damage of a given element can be enhanced with day/weather bonuses from the Elemental Obis and by Staves. See the main Skillchain page for more information.

If the Darkness skillchain was not closed by a weaponskill with pure Darkness property, then a weaponskill that does have pure Darkness property can extend the chain by another Darkness Skillchain.

Example:

• If Blade: Hi (Gravitation/Darkness) opens the skillchain, then Chant du Cygne (Distortion/Light) closes it, this creates a Darkness property and a Darkness (Skillchain), then Blade: Hi (Darkness) can be used again to extend the skillchain (Darkness > Darkness) to form another Darkness skillchain..

• If Chant du Cygne (Light/Distortion) opens the skillchain and Blade: Hi (Gravitation/Darkness) closes it, another Blade: Hi cannot extend it.

• This can also be done by a Blue Mage via Chain Affinity. The Unbridled Learning spell Bloodrake contains Darkness property similar to Blade: Hi, and can therefore be used to extend a darkness skillchain in a similar manner while Chain Affinity or Azure Lore are in effect.
