Road Skills
ROAD (the tan card on the Skills page) is a driving tree every class can learn with skill points. It works on whatever you drive: the skills of the driver count.
How it works
- Run-Flat (3 ranks): -25% chance of a flat tire per rank.
- Gentle Foot (3): engine wear -15% per rank. Cool Running (3): the engine heats up 15% slower per rank.
- Tank Liner (2): the fuel tank takes 30% less damage per rank and a holed one leaks 30% less.
- Hypermiler (3): fuel burn -8% per rank, and battery craft drain their charge slower.
- Fast Charge (3, after Hypermiler): battery craft like the Hollow Wasp charge 25% faster per rank at a Hollow Charging Station.
- Extended Cells (2, after Fast Charge): battery craft fly 15% longer on a full charge per rank.
- Nitro Tuning (3): each nitro bottle lasts 20% longer per rank.
- Armored Frame (3): your vehicle takes 8% less damage per rank from crashes, claws and teeth.
- Quick Patch (2): an Engine Overhaul Kit also mends 10% / 25% of the vehicle; at rank II a Tire Patch Kit fixes two flats.
- Road Warrior (capstone): running the dead down costs your ride half the damage, and top speed +8%.
Tips
- Run-Flat is the first node; the engine lane climbs on the left, the body lane on the right, and both reach Road Warrior. The battery lane runs up the middle from Hypermiler.
- The small nodes between them add a little on top: -5% wear, -5% flats, +10% nitro and so on.
- Passengers do not count: whoever sits behind the wheel brings their skills along.
- Kit skills count for whoever uses the kit.
