Power Wrench — Reduce the recharge of your elite skill when you dodge.
Streamlined Kits — Equipping an Engineering Kit creates an attack or spell and grants you swiftness.

The projectile finisher on Mortar Shot requires that the actual projectile pass through a target, merely hitting a target with the projectile's explosion will not create a combo effect.
Actual activation time for each skill is 0.8 seconds.

Unlike other kits, the Elite Mortar Kit can't be equipped in midair.
