Chanting System - Complete Guide
⚡ Quick Summary

🎯 How Chanting Works
The Purple Highlight System
When you have enough focus tokens, certain techniques in your toolbar will glow with a purple highlight. This indicates the move can be chanted.
Step 1: Build Focus
Gain focus tokens by landing attacks, using techniques, or activating your awakening mode.
Step 2: Identify Chantable Moves
Look for the purple glow on your skill icons. Not all moves can be chanted.
Step 3: Activate Chant
Press the skill key while it's highlighted. Your character will speak the chant keyword, and the move becomes "Critical".
Step 4: Enhanced Effect
The chanted move deals increased damage, has longer range, and larger AoE.
💡 Pro Tip: Chanting consumes focus tokens. Save them for high-impact moves or ultimate combinations.

When NOT to Chant

- • Domain Expansion active: Your moves are already buffed
❌ Common Mistakes
Mistake #1: Wasting Focus
Don't chant every move. Save focus for ultimate combinations or finishing blows.
Mistake #2: Wrong Timing
Chanting adds a brief animation. Don't chant when you need to dodge immediately.
Mistake #3: Ignoring Purple Highlight
If a move isn't highlighted purple, you can't chant it. Check your focus level.
Mistake #4: Forgetting Keywords
The game auto-chants when you press the skill, but knowing keywords helps you recognize what's happening.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to type the chant keywords?
No! The game automatically speaks the chant when you activate a highlighted skill. The keywords are just for reference.
Can I chant without focus tokens?
No. You must have enough focus tokens for the purple highlight to appear.
Does chanting work with all techniques?
Only Special Grade and some A-tier techniques have chantable moves. Lower-tier techniques don't have this feature.
How much damage increase does chanting provide?
Typically 30-50% damage increase, plus increased range and AoE. Ultimate combinations can deal 2-3x normal damage.
Can I cancel a chant mid-animation?
No. Once you start chanting, you're committed. Plan your timing carefully.
Do chants work in Domain Expansion?
Yes, but the benefits stack. Chanting inside your domain creates devastating combos.
