Bloodstorm and Skill Attack Runes

[Andy]

Does the Skill Attack rune help Bloodstorm? I assume it does, but I thought I ask to be sure.

[DaBest88]

yes it helps him

[Deucalion]

I put a vengence on him, and though it raises his power like crazy, I'm wondering it was worth it. He seems to only have his one skill attack, not a physical attack. I'm wondering if a lone level 9-10 adept would be better served and drop the vengence elsewhere. Opinions?

[Andy]

Calvin can drain his morale. Other than that all his attacks are skill.

[Lohiro]

Short answer is I think the Vengeance or Bane runes help - skill attack looks like it's additive to the base attack, so putting Bane on someone increases their skill attack damage as well.

Bane is physical attack, how does that increase the skill attack?

[Scorn]

Briefly tested, bane does nothing for skill attacks

[The Luda]

No.. he needs Adept.

[Greenly]

No.. he needs Adept.

yeah, that is what i thought too. physical attack makes no sense or that it could help skill attack...

[Morgan le Fay]

Actually it does. Physical attack help improve the power of skill.

Tried it out on my Adamanti once after Freyaa pointed it out. It didn't make much sense to me but tried it. And you know what? She was right, it worked! Adamanti skill attacks was much stronger. Same principal for Bloodstorm.
