FAQ

Quick answers for common player questions

How do skills work in Mistfall Hunter?

Active skills are gated by the equipped weapon type, so changing weapons changes which actions can be slotted into a build.

Are skill descriptions different in solo and trio play?

Some skills keep the same effect but use a shorter base cooldown in trio mode. Check the current in-game tooltip after balance updates.
