Description

As history marched on, the Bards couldn't help but be dragged into Erinn's many wars. The songs they played to enhearten their comrades was passed along through the generations, and now these same songs are used to boost morale before a big battle. Thus, these songs earned the title Battlefield Overture.

Details

• Requires an Instrument or Microphone equipped to use.
  • Rank 5 Song allows any equipment to play this skill.
• Plays music to increase Damage and Critical Chance of nearby players.
• The skill is continuously repeated so long as the music is still being played or until the skill is cancelled.
  • Clicking any location that will normally cause you to move without attacking will cancel the skill.
    • This only works after the buff effect has been activated.
• The rank of Musical Knowledge affects the chance of playing an "excellent" or "inspiring" performance.
  • Excellent performances increases the effects of this skill by 10%, whereas inspiring performances increases them by 30%.
  • Inspiring performances have their own animations. Players with string instruments wildly strums their instrument similar to an electric guitar, while players with wind instruments wildly flail around while playing the flute, players with percussion instruments will angrily strike their drums, and players with microphones will flail around while singing madly.
• The damage % increases are always based on the character's damage with the weapon that is currently equipped.
• The buffs do not stack with other musical buff skills. The last one played will cancel out any existing musical buff.
• Playing Battlefield Overture after activating Fantastic Chorus triggers Sorrow Sonata.
• Enabling Mini Effects causes the aura to become invisible.
• Rank 1 Battlefield Overture is required to use the Exploit Weakness Technique.
