Description[edit]

Skill facts are properties of a skill or trait displayed in the tooltip. The template provides correct formatting for creating skill facts for use in the {{skill infobox}} and {{trait infobox}}. Subobject creation uses {{Skill fact/subobject}}.

Usage[edit]

{{skill fact|<fact>|<value>}}
{{skill fact|<fact>|<value>|game mode=<game modes in which the skill fact is used>}}
{{skill fact|<fact>|<value>|<second value (if applicable)>|stacks=<stacks>|alt=<alternate text>|game mode=<game modes in which the skill fact is used>}}
{{skill fact|effect|<effect>|<duration>|stacks=<stacks>|alt=<alternate text>|desc=<alternate description>}}

Parameters[edit]

Skill fact Description Example Display
1 (unnamed parameter) Case 1: Predefined skill facts automatically generating the full skill fact based on unnamed parameter 2 (number, standing for duration, percentage, range, etc...) and stacks (if applicable). For example boons as Might, conditions as Burning, etc... For a full list see examples below. {{skill fact|might|5}}
Might.png Might (5s): 30 Condition Damage, 30 Power
Case 2: Effects, by setting it to "effect" the unnamed parameter 2 expects an effect page and unnamed parameter 3 is used to set the effect duration. It inherits the description from the effect page, set the parameter desc to override it (leave it empty if there's no description).

Set the parameter "effect bonus" to associate an skill fact with it, e.g. for an effect granting a 25% damage increase set "effect bonus=Damage Increase" and "effect bonus number=25".

{{skill fact|effect|Superspeed|3}}
{{skill fact|effect|Magnetic Aura (effect)|4|effect bonus=Reflect}}
Superspeed.png Superspeed (3s): Movement speed is greatly increased. Maximum duration: 10s
Magnetic Aura (effect).png Magnetic Aura (4s): Reflect projectiles with magnetic energy.
Case 3: Non-predefined skill facts, case-sensitive! If a skill fact description differs from a already predefined one but still shares the same name, consider to set this parameter to <fact> alt and use the parameter alt to set the display name. {{skill fact|Minimum Number of Attacks|1}}
Miscellaneous effect.png Minimum Number of Attacks: 1
2 (unnamed parameter) Case 1: For predefined skills, set it to the associated number, for example: duration, percentage, range. {{skill fact|launch|500}}

Case 2: For effects, set this to the effect page. {{skill fact|effect|Shock Field|4|desc=}}

Case 3: For non-predefined skill facts, this could be anything, again case-sensitive. {{skill fact|Aegis Refresh|40 seconds}}
Miscellaneous effect.png Aegis Refresh: 40 seconds
3 (unnamed parameter) Case 1: For predefined skills, this parameter is rarely used, see examples below. {{skill fact|gain|Ferocity|Precision|10}}

Case 2: For effect pages, set this to the effect duration. {{skill fact|effect|Unblockable (effect)|10}}

Increase and decrease modifiers[edit]

Most modifiers increase or decrease a value by a percentage. duration increase can either provide an base increase or percentage increase, specify a percentage using a % character. Note that the different damage increase/reduced options, while they provide almost the same output, are required to internally specify their exact behaviour.
