Lexus Malevolence not Increasing

[kimo]

@Indy
The count for the Malevolence spell/skill is not increasing its count despite repeated use. Just an FYI.

Or is there a specific trigger to increase usage count?

You may have to have either Lexus or the enemy poisoned in order to trigger the usage count. The system is rather finicky if there are specific conditions to increase the damage. My advice is to read the subtext in each skill to see what the possible trigger conditions are.

Yep, it's explained in the guide including (unless I'm mistaken) in the free sample (basically the instructions manual).
Technics that require a specific condition for a (much) bigger damage also require said condition to progress (get a +1 use).

I have the full guide, but I read that stuff last week and my brain has been filled with game stuff since then. There's only so much info allowed in that brain section without some leaking out.

But, I also expect the need for poisoning the enemy/Lexus to get a +1 to be part of the technics description which some of them have. I understand now why some of the skills have not been advancing. Lexus was easy to spot, because it would not advance above zero.
