Effect Information

Starting at level 30, completing a Gambit applies a stack of  Gambit Chain to the Warden. When the fourth Gambit is completed, all stacks of  Gambit Chain are removed, and the Warden gains 1 stack of Advanced Technique (this effect).

Gambits that apply  Potency do not tier up  Gambit Chain.

The following skills are empowered by Advanced Technique, and upon use, consume all stacks of Advanced Technique:

•  The Way of the Spear
•  The Way of the Shield
•  The Way of the Fist

The above skills all function the same way. They are only available when the Warden has at least 1 Advanced Technique, and gain increased potency for each additional stack consumed.

•  For the Free Peoples

 Determined gains increased potency.

•  Desperate Combat

Each stack consumed grants an additional stack of  Desperate Combat.

Trait Interactions

The trait  Proactive Defence makes gaining or consuming stacks of Advanced Technique apply  Minor Advanced Defence to the Warden. The applied effect is equal to the number of Advanced Techniques acquired or consumed.

When the Warden consumes all 3 stacks of Advanced Technique,  Advanced Defence is applied to the Warden instead.

The trait  Fellowship Protector makes the Warden apply  Fellowship Protector - Advanced Defence to the fellowship when consuming 3 stacks of Advanced Technique.
