Rules and keyboard controls

Tooltip numbers are level-60 values against a 30,000-health dummy. Active skills share a 1.5-second global cooldown. Cooldown: None means no further cooldown. The player equips one Tier-4 capstone. That capstone amplifies its own Tier-1 skill.

This is an unsaved ability preview. Select prerequisites first; refund dependent abilities before their foundations. Only one Tier-4 capstone may be selected.

Ability details and refund controls are shown in the persistent inspector.

Use arrow keys to move between branches and tiers. Home and End move within a tier; Ctrl+Home and Ctrl+End reach the first and last ability. Enter or Space toggles an ability. Delete, Backspace or Shift+Enter refunds it. Escape dismisses the tooltip.

A Half-Step Flat Against the Storm

Kaelen Vos grew up on the deck of a three-masted Sand-Skiff, skimming across the metallic copper dunes of Kal-Zir as part of the nomadic Wind-Harp Clans. In the deep desert, where water is rarer than gold and the sand itself hums under the noon sun, warriors do not wear heavy plate; they learn to move like the heat-shimmer, riding the acoustic cushions of the dunes and wielding Chime-Sabers—hollow-fluted curved blades forged from meteoric bronze and Amber-glass that sing higher and sharper the faster they are swung.

By age twenty-four, Kaelen was the undisputed champion of the Mirage-Bazaar dueling rings, famous for his reckless grin and his signature technique: tuning his left blade a half-step flat against his right blade so that when the two edges crossed, the resulting dissonance could shatter a solid stone pillar. That carefree life ended two Turns ago when a Red-Sail Corsair land-ship raided his clan’s winter oasis to steal a smuggled Spire-shard. During the raid, the Corsairs dropped the unstable shard, triggering a localized Dead-Pitch detonation that turned half the oasis—and Kaelen’s older brother, Joren Vos—into silent white glass. The Bastion’s report filed the blast as a Corsair munition accident.

Refusing the rigid command hierarchy of the Solaris Bastion and distrusting the Syndicate corporations that bought Corsair contraband, Kaelen pledged his blades to the Verdant Chorus. Now he hunts both Red-Sail smugglers and Vitrified Prelates across Kaelvorn, searching the ancient vaults of the Shattered Crown for a frequency high and hot enough to melt the glass encasing his brother without breaking the man inside.

Combat Rhythm — Dawn, Dusk, and Dissonant Shatter

Kaelen Vos is a high-adrenaline melee skirmisher built around rhythm and speed. He wields two distinct blades: Sol-Edge, the Dawn-blade, in his right hand, and Dune-Song, the Dusk-blade, in his left. Alternating between Dawn strikes and Dusk strikes builds Harmonic Pitch (1 to 10 Stacks), steadily increasing his attack speed and heating his blades white-hot. At maximum Pitch, Kaelen crosses his edges to unleash Dissonant Shatters that detonate active sonic bleeds in a shower of golden sparks.
