Galeforce Arrow is a skill where Kromede fires a single long-range arrow. The target will take high damage and will be knocked back. When the target collides with another enemy while being knocked back, they will be stunned for 1 second. The skill can deal great damage and can also stun enemies, but is fired in a linear path.

Aetherpike Shards will create a line of spikes at a designated spot. Enemies who step on a spike will be bound for 4.5 seconds, and the spike will be destroyed. Even though the shards can be destroyed, it can bind enemies for a long time and block enemy attacks also. The skill is considered one of the most powerful skills in MXM.

Quick Draw can be used consecutively at a maximum of three times. Kromede fires 1 arrow at the first skillshot, 3 arrows at the second skillshot, and 5 arrows at the third skillshot in a fan shape. The skill will hit multiple enemies and deals high damage.

Blot Out the Sun is a skill where Kromede fires multiple arrow at a designated area. Enemies within the area will take damage over time for a short period of time, and bleeding enemies will take an additional 10% damage. The skill will deal immense damage when all hits land, so it is used as Kromede’s primary DPS skill.

Righteous Justice, Kromede’s ultimate, will enhance her auto attacks for 7 seconds. 5 arrows will be fired in a fan shape even if Quick Draw is not charged, and her heat buildup rate is decreased. Kromede’s auto attack itself does not deal significant damage, but the skill can be effective in mass team fights where it is hard to focus on a single target.
