Way of the Sword: Difference between revisions
Commands still align to a mode, even if they don't adjust the bar. So ZZZ is still Vitality (gaining more MP in Vit Aura) and XXX is still Destruction (dealing x2 damage in destruction).

When playing [[Elsword]], there will be an additional bar below the mana gauge called '''Way of the Sword'''. This bar has 10 segments that, by default, contain 5 red '''Destruction''' slots and 5 blue '''Vitality''' slots, and depending on your actions, the bar will lean towards one color or 'aura' (left for Destruction, right for Vitality), replacing the other aura's slots. As long as an aura has at least one slot in the bar filled, you will receive special benefits depending on which aura you currently have active. The "Aura of Vitality" is selected by default, and you can switch between it and the "Aura of Destruction" by using the '''V''' key. | |||
Depending on the type of skill you use, the bar will fill towards the right with blue '''Vitality''' slots or towards the left with red '''Destruction''' slots: | |||
*Flexibility/Tenacity skill: 1 slot | |||
*Strength skill: 2 slots | |||
*Bravery skill: 3 slots | |||
Note that skills fill the slots contrary to their mode: vitality-based skills fill the bars with destruction slots; destruction-based skills fill the bar with vitality slots. | |||
If the bar is filled completely by either aura's slots, the aura for the other mode will deactivate and you will enter a neutral stance with no benefits even when it is toggled on, until at least 1 slot is re-gained for that mode. As such, the bar acts as a balancing mechanic so over-using one mode's skills can prevent you from using the opposing Aura. | |||

When '''Aura of Vitality''' is toggled on, you will be surrounded by a blue aura. | |||
While in this mode you will receive the following benefits: | |||
*Increased attack, movement, and jump speed. | |||
*Vitality-based skills cost 30% less mana for both mana usage and usage requirements. | |||
*Hits from vitality-based commands and skills will have mana regeneration per hit increased to 200% (150% in PvP). | |||
==<font color=red>Aura of Destruction</font>== | |||
When '''Aura of Destruction''' is toggled on, you will be surrounded by a crimson aura. | |||
While in this form, you will receive the following benefits: | |||
*Destruction-based actives and skills will do 50% more damage. | |||
*Destruction-based commands will do 100% more damage. (This stacks with any other damage modifiers) | |||
