Chaos is a volatile magic that can turn the fortune of the battlefield and create weapons out of thought.
Dragon's character is attuned to Chaos and about half of Dragon's Decks use this Magic. Eleven of Martial Artist's 14 abilities are Chaos. However, Templars' Gladiator and Illuminati's Illusionist make a great deal of use of it, for example, and there are many other Chaos decks in those factions.
It can inflict the States of Impaired and Weakened, and the uncommon, and powerful, State of Expose. If it is paired with Assault Rifle (eg Gladiator) or Elementalism (custom Decks only), then all four common states (and therefore States that can be exploited) can be inflicted.
- Weapon Features - Short range (3 meters)
- Major combat roles: DPS via debuff (Expose, Increased Hit Chance and Spells) and Tank (Evade, Draw Hate)
Expose Skills : Escalation, Discord Rising, Consequence, Uneven Ground, Breakdown, Contradiction, Intensity.
