Axii
Axii charms an opponent's mind and takes him out of the fight for a time. Its duration and strength grow with Sign intensity. Outside combat, Axii opens extra dialogue options and calms horses.
How It Works
- Axii takes the charmed enemy out of combat for a time.
- Some enemies are immune to Axii.
- Axii opens extra dialogue options in some conversations.
- Some characters resist Axii in conversation. The Delusion skill raises Axii's effectiveness in dialogue.
- A successful Axii in dialogue awards experience.
- Axii calms Roach's fear and lets Geralt approach and ride wild horses.
- Axii is the only Sign usable on horseback.
Puppetmaster
Puppet is the alternate mode of the Axii Sign. The targeted enemy briefly becomes Geralt's ally. Remastered renamed it Puppetmaster.
- Puppetmaster turns the enemy hit by Axii into a temporary ally.
- The puppet deals extra damage, and the bonus grows with each rank.
- Like every Sign skill, Puppetmaster gives +0.5 Stamina regen per second in combat at rank 1.
| Rank | Damage |
|---|---|
| 1 | +20% |
| 2 | +40% |
| 3 | +60% |
Puppetmaster needs Delusion, the starting Axii skill.
Before Remastered, Puppet sat at tier 2 of the old Axii line. It needed 6 points spent in Sign skills. Its three levels gave +0.5, +1 and +1.5 Stamina regen per second in combat.
Axii Skills
Remastered rebuilt the skill trees with three ranks per skill. Delusion is a starting skill. Puppetmaster needs Delusion. Domination needs Magic Trap, Active Shield or Puppetmaster.
| Skill | Rank 1 |
|---|---|
| Delusion | The target stops advancing on Geralt while he casts Axii; Axii works better in conversations |
| Puppetmaster | Alternate mode: the enemy becomes Geralt's ally and deals +20% damage |
| Domination | Axii affects two targets at once, with a 50% weaker effect |
| Fortify Signs | Yrden, Quen and Axii duration +20% |
Gear That Boosts Axii
- The Glyph Of Axii armor upgrade gives +5% Axii Sign intensity.
- The Vitis steel sword relic carries +20% Axii Sign intensity.
Before Remastered
The old Axii line held Delusion, Puppet, Axii Intensity and Domination. Delusion levels 2 and 3 also cut Axii's casting time.
| Skill | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Axii Intensity | +5% | +10% | +15% |
| Domination | Two targets, 50% weaker | Two targets, 25% weaker | Two targets, full strength |
