Skillsets

- Shapeshifting: The Hunter will transform into a Wyvern, a Naga, or a Weaver depending on their circle affiliation. A range of ice, fire, claw, and sting attacks can be used from this primary skillset against hostiles.
- Supremacy: A companion is summoned as either a Basilisk, Alligator, or Bat depending on the Hunter's chosen circle. The companion provides secondary support to the Hunter through setting conditional triggers on the target when certain thresholds or actions are met.
- Terrestrialism: A hunter knows how to use the land to their advantage through a versatile grove as well as having honed their own bodies to achieve feats of survivability. This tertiary skillset contains abilities to heal, explore, and hunt.
Combat Focus
------------
There are three routes a Hunter may pursue to eliminate their prey. A Hunter can pressure damage with Claw or Bloodpoison while using Lash-trigger from envenomed Claw attacks. Simultaneously, the Hunter can pressure both Brainmelt and Rupture routes by focusing Bloodpoison and afflictions stacks at the same time. A Hunter should capitalize on abilities that deny curing as they reach an appropiate affliction threshold for Brainmelt or four stack threshold for rupture.
