Signs

Powerful magic spells that can fight monsters and defend from incoming damage.

Signs are the signature active abilities of Witchers, powered by magic and requiring stamina to cast. There are 5 Signs in WitcherCraft: Yrden, Quen, Igni, Axii and Aard.

Players can cast one Sign every 45 seconds. By equipping Griffin School Gear, this cooldown is reduced to 22.5 seconds.

Casting Signs

First choose which Sign you want to use. Press Tab to open the Sign Menu, then click the Sign you want. The chosen Sign icon will be displayed on the right side of the screen.

Once a Sign is selected, press R to cast it. Some Signs can be held for extended effects.

Sign Upgrades

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Each Sign can be upgraded through the Signs tab of the Skill Tree. Upgrades include increased damage, range, duration, and unlocking secondary effects unique to each Sign.

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Sign Intensity is a dedicated player stat that scales all Sign effects. It can be boosted by equipping Griffin School Gear or investing in the Signs skill tree.

Sign Cooldown

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. After casting a Sign, a cooldown period begins before another Sign can be cast. This is displayed as the Sign Cooldown status effect on the player.

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Stamina regeneration influences how quickly you can cast Signs in succession. Invest in the General skill tree or equip Griffin School Gear to reduce downtime between casts.
