Spiritborn Leveling Guide

Spiritborn Basic Skills

Basic Skills are spammable skills with the primary purpose of generating Vigor, the Resource used by other skills. Because they are free and have no cooldown, they are used to fill empty time while waiting for other, more powerful skills to become available.

Spiritborn Dismount Skill

While mounted, the Spiritborn has access to a unique Dismount Skill that allows them to leap off the mount and slam down on enemies with a powerful lightning attack that is similar to other skills of the Eagle Guardian Spirit. Players that are struck by an enemy are automatically dismounted and are unable to use their Dismount Ability until they mount back.
