2. ✨ Analysis of Cash's Three Action Skill Trees
| Skill Tree | Description |
|---|---|
| Red Tree: Crossfire | This style equips two special revolvers and automatically fires at enemies. Accumulating Luck Stacks can extend bullet range or convert to shotgun mode via a shotgun augment. Personally, this is the skill tree I expect to be the most powerful. |
| Blue Tree: Card Trick | This skill equips two cards and throws cards with random elements at enemies. You can equip augments like Fireball, Magic Missile, etc., to use cards with various effects. Due to random elements, there might be damage variance, so actual use is needed for judgment. |
| Green Tree: Dice | This summons a 'Bone Totem' that fights for a certain duration based on a dice roll. Similar to Card Trick, it has strong random elements, with various effects granted based on the dice roll. Augments can increase dice effects, and actual use is needed to judge its strength. |
