Combat

15 masteries

Every mastery rises from 1 to 100 by fighting alone: a kill teaches the weapon in hand by the blows dealt, a staff by the spells cast, and the armour and shield worn by the blows taken. It pays the hero nothing more than the kill did. A piece of gear asks its kind's mastery by its tier and rarity: see what gear asks. A character left to train can learn each slowly, to 20.
