Vulnerability is another special mechanic for monsters, they periodically go into this vulnerable state and some abilities have a chance to cause it. Some attacks do extra damage against vulnerable monsters, so it’s sort of a whack-a-mole mechanic — you use your vuln-boost ability when you see the monster flashing vulnerable.<includeonly>

This is a very potent offensive skill, including long-range and area-effect attacks, and even some Cold attacks for versatility.

General tips for choosing between the combat skills: <br>
- As a newer player consider having 1 primary combat skill and choose a support skill (e.g. Psychology or Mentalism) as your secondary. That will give much better ways to heal up during combat. There is also [[Skill Compatibility Chart|chart to indicate which combat skills can be used together]].<br>
