# Skills

[In game]

Lore [Concept]

> A fallen draws on their ember for fire, and on what they have taken from the world for the rest.

Fire comes from the ember itself. Lightning, frost and the strength to break stone are things the fallen have taken from the world on the climb and turned to their own use. See [Who you are](../../fallen/who-you-are.md).

Every character has all 6 skills today: hold the left mouse button for Strike, and use the right button and Q, W, E, R for the rest. Attacks use your weapon's damage, speed and critical chance; spells have their own and grow with the level of their gem. Each skill is a gem in a skill slot, with [support gems](../../wiki/skills/support-gems.md) beside it.

| Skill | Type | Mana | Speed | Damage | Description |

| [Strike](../../wiki/skills/strike.md) | attack | 0 | 100% of weapon speed | 100% of weapon damage | Swing your weapon in a wide arc, hitting every enemy in front of you. |
| [Earthshatter](../../wiki/skills/earthshatter.md) | attack | 6 | 75% of weapon speed | 150% of weapon damage | Slam the ground ahead, hitting all enemies in an area. Slower than Strike, but harder. |

| [Frost Nova](../../wiki/skills/frost-nova.md) | spell | 11 | 1.4 casts per second | 7–11 Cold | A ring of frost bursts from you, damaging and chilling nearby enemies. |
| [Ember Dash](../../wiki/skills/ember-dash.md) | movement | 4 | 0.16 s | None | Dash a short distance toward the cursor. |
