Single target skills are directed at a single player or monster, although Area of Effect skills may cause damage to surrounding opponents as well.

Multiple Target

Multiple target skills are directed at one or more targets at once, and each may attempt to evade the skill individually; one target my successfully flee the attack, but other targets may still take damage.

Ground Target

Skill which target the ground are generally blocked by Land Protector.

By Range

Long Range
