Sequence skill

Sequence skills are skills which, once activated, give access to another skill for additional effect. They are effectively multiple skills sharing one slot on a skill bar and activated in strict order. In some sequences, additional skills become available only if a special condition has been met by a previous skill, for example, an enemy has been successfully hit or an attack has been blocked.

Chains is a subset of sequence skills that occupy the first weapon skill slot and are set to auto-attack by default.
