By Osama Mumtaz · How the numbers are made
Passive skills carry a tier in the game data. This guide lists every passive in the top tiers, grouped by what it does. Some of the highest-tier passives trade a bonus for a penalty (for example attack up, defense down); the effect text below is the full text from the game, so read both lines.
