Sustained Focus

Increases Activation Charges number.

My journey

Charge capacity and a full starting charge are different benefits

Coen begins with one Activation Charge. Sustained Focus rank 1 raises the maximum to two; rank 2 starts each combat with one full charge while the maximum stays at two. Ranks 3 and 4 raise the maximum to three and four.

Activation Charges recover over time, and successful attacks and blocks speed up the recharge. Both active abilities and weapon or claw arts draw on this resource, so gaining more capacity does not mean that every charge is already full.

The four ranks cost one, one, one and two skill points, each with one time segment. Learning all four from scratch therefore costs five points and four time segments. Record any ranks already learned before planning the remaining cost.
