In one of the Aesir/Rune Monument skills for Lord Knight, there is an interesting skill called Victorious Pursuit. An active skill similar to Bash. Based on its description “Get Victorious Pursuit Skill level +1. Spend 1 layer of Chase to deal (Skill Lv * 150% Dmg) (LUK affects Dmg). Gets 1 layer of Chase every 1 minute. Stacks up to 3 layers.”, it gives your character a one time attack of 150% more damage from normal or crit, it cooldown every 1 minute. The damage is also increase depending on the level of the Victorious Pursuit.
Victorious Pursuit is an Active Skill
Victorious Pursuit is similar to bash but without the stun effect, the damage is also different. Victorious Pursuit can give damage to the enemy up to 450%. 1-minute cooldown can also lessen when acquiring the Hot Pursuit, which reduces 1 second or 3 seconds if is critical.
To help everyone know what are these skills are for. We acquire these skills and test it to our Lord Knights. Once you acquire this skill, you need to grab it from the Adventure Skills. Similar to Bash skills, you need to put it on Manual or Auto-Attack slot.
From here, you can now use your newly acquired skills Victorious Pursuit to use it to the monsters. Every 1 minute, you’ll get 1 stack of Chase where you can use it to give one-time damage. It stacks up to 3 layers of Chase.
Benchmarking the Victorious Pursuit
In our test, our normal damage for our Lord Knight to the monsters Alarm is 1031. Using the Victorious Pursuit it gives a one-time attack damage of 3817.
Below we listed the calculation of damage you could get on each level of your Victorious Pursuit, so far the maximum level is up to 3.
| Victorious Pursuit Level | Normal Damage | Damage of Victorious Pursuit |
| 1 | 1,031 | 1,908 (150%) |
| 2 | 1,031 | 3,817 (300%) |
| 3 | 1,031 | 5,725.5 (450%) |
There is some additional damage that affects the final damage of Victorious , such as Luck and other attributes.
Lessen the Cooldown of Victorious Pursuit
The normal cooldown for Victorious Pursuit is 1 minute, after that, you’ll get additional 1 stack of Chase, up to 3 stacks. To lessen the 1-minute cooldown. You need to acquire the Hot Pursuit from the Aesir/Rune Monument which gives you 1 second quicker or 3 seconds quicker when critical when using the Auto attacks.
If you completed all of the 3 Hot Pursuit, your character has 30% more chance on obtaining the Chase stacks.
