• By spending points on the Arcane Weaponry series of abilities, you will unlock more combat moves for the Chakrams.
• Even though Chakrams have a moderately low damage output per hit, they compensate this with the damage over time effect which can make Chakrams one of the strongest weapons of the game.

Abilities

Investing in the Arcane Weaponry will grant new attack moves for the Chakrams and investing in the Chakram Mastery will increase the damage delivered when using one to attack. There are other indirect ways to improve damage output or add effects to the use of the Chakrams like for example the Blade Honing ability from the Finesse tree, that improves critical hits dealt with all bladed-type weapon

Crafting

The Fateless One can use any Blacksmithing Forge, to craft Chakrams by using an elemental Disc and a Handle.Bindings and Grips can also be used as an additional component but it is not mandatory.
