Gameplay identity

Current official tree

Core mechanics

Endless Munitions adds a Projectile, while Point Blank and Far Shot provide mutually different distance scaling choices.
Avidity and Thrilling Chase improve Frenzy Charge gain and the benefits of consuming those charges.

Important tradeoff

Gathering Winds builds Tailwind through skill use but removes all Tailwind when the character is Hit.
