Chant: A skill type that grants all allies within earshot a one time boon.

Information

Chants are skills particular to Paragons which allows them to give allies within earshot a boost, typically to their next Attack skill, Signet, or Spell. These chants can have either an Energy or an Adrenaline cost, and have a one or two second Activation Time.

Chants cannot not be removed unless they are triggered by meeting their condition or exceeding their duration. The Paragon possesses Chants in three of their attributes: Command, Motivation, and Leadership. Leadership additionally grants the Paragon one energy for each ally affected by a Chant.

It is important to differentiate between Shouts and Chants. The most important distinction is that Chants have an activation time and thus can be interupted. Additionally, all Chants names are not in quotation marks, and are not shown above the character's head in a chat bubble when activated.

Chant Types

Chants are broken into several different types depending on their skill name:

  • Anthem, bonuses depend on Attack Skill usage.
  • Aria, bonuses depend on Spell usage.
  • Ballad, gives its bonus the next time that ally takes Damage.
  • Choruses, give their bonus the next time that ally uses a Chant or Shout.
  • Lyric, gives its bonus the next time that ally uses a Signet.
  • Songs, give their bonus the next time that ally uses a Skill of any type.
