Modo Skill Tree

Modo Skill Tree - Jade Dynasty Wiki

Modo Skill Tree

Modo Skills are organized in a way that makes it easy to tell them apart:

• Skills that require Human Form are in the central column, alongside some passive skills that work for every character.
• Skills that require Demonic Posture are in the right column.
• Skills that require Modon Form are in the left column. Note: Because the character cannot learn Modon Form until Tier 2, the Tier 1 skills in the left column are self-buffs that can be used in any form.

Most Modo skill builds are focused on learning skills for only one or two of these forms.
