Valour

Valour is used to fuel Banner Skills. Killing an enemy with an Attack generates 1 Valour, and Banners passively gain 1 Valour per second while a Unique enemy is in your Presence. You can only gain Valour once every 0.5 seconds, and a Banner skill cannot gain Valour while its Banner is placed.

Each Banner has 50 maximum Valour by default. If you have multiple Banner skills active, each gains Valour separately.

Valour is a resource used by banner skills, that increases under certain conditions while you have a Banner skill which augments the power of those skills.

Mechanics

Players gain 1 Valour on kill with an attack. Players also gain 1 Valour per second while there's a Unique enemy within presence. Valour is capped at 50 by default.

Valour is not shared between skills that care about it.

Valour cannot be gained while a Banner is placed.
