2. ⚔️ Top Skill Hotkey Setup Know-How
· The top skill hotkey window is divided into left and right, and efficient placement is important.
| Category | Details |
|---|---|
| Left Top Slot (Keys 1, 2, 3, 4) | · Place main attack skills · Efficient due to proximity to targeting key (Tab) |
| Left Top Slot (Keys F1-F4) | · Place auxiliary skills (e.g., Urgent Shot, Dorcha Conversion, Infusion) · Skills related to attack but not primary ones |
| Right Top Slot | · Place debuff skills (essential for places like Crom Bás) · Key 1: Shield of Trust (for safe debuff use with stiffness immunity) · Key F1: Dash Punch (easy to link with Uppercut and activate Demonic Graph) |
| Skill Slot Switch Key | · Set to a key that can be pressed quickly even while operating the mouse, such as the backtick ( ` ) or Numpad Enter |
| Caution | · Skills likely to be used even during debuffs, like Anchor Rush, should be placed identically in both slots to prevent accidents |

3. 🖱️ How to Utilize Additional Skill Slots
· These hotkey slots cannot be used with the keyboard and must only be used with mouse clicks.
· It's better to register skills, talents, or pets that are used at least once during combat, rather than skills that need to be used urgently.
· Placement Tip: Group related skills together to avoid confusion and quickly perform related actions.
· Examples: Place Divine Link skill near the pet it links to, put Demigod and Full Transformation next to each other, place Battlefield Overture and Invincible Pad together.
