Are weapon skills a replacement for standard attacks in Devil Hunter?
Weapon skills enhance, not replace, your regular M1 and M2 attacks. Think of them as combo starters, crowd control moves, or burst damage dealers. They add depth to your combat style.
Can I mix and match weapon skills from different weapon types?
Skills are specific to the weapon type you’re using. You can’t use a light weapon skill with a heavy weapon, for example. Each class—Light, Medium, Heavy, Martial Arts, and Firearm—has its own unique set.
What’s the secret to unlocking more skills?
More skills become available as you level up and invest points in the required stats: Speed, Strength, Health, and Weapon Mastery. If you mess up your build, use a stat reset code to redistribute those points.
Understanding the nuances of each weapon skill is the key to success in Devil Hunter. Experiment with different builds, find what suits your play style, and dominate those raids!
