View source for Warden Gambit Chains

{{Obsolete|patchlink=[[Update 35 - Wednesday March 22, 2023|Update 35]]}}
== Overview ==
[[Warden|Wardens]] can execute a series of Gambits sequentially to bolster the effects of the final Gambit. This is called a '''Gambit Chain'''. Gambit Chains begin with a short 2-step Gambit and finish with a longer Gambit called the '''finishing skill''' or '''finisher'''. All Gambits in the Chain must be completed in order within the allotted duration in order to receive the buff to the finishing skill.

In the case where there are multiple finishers available in a Gambit Chain, only one can be executed in a given chain, as it will consume the finishing blow effect.

== Power Attack Gambit Chain ==
Although technically not a Gambit Chain, this sequence does buff Gambits when performed in order and is therefore included for completeness. <br> Unlike a true Gambit Chain, the entire sequence does not need to be performed to deal increased damage.
