You can store up to 100 Rage by attacking with a Hammer and by being attacked (even if you are not currently attacking with your Hammer). The Hammer meter can be filled twice. The first time the meter is filled it represents 50 Rage, the second time the meter is filled it represents 100 Rage.

Whenever you attack an enemy and you have less than 50 Rage, regardless of the results of the attack, you will gain an amount of Rage defined by the ability you attacked with. The exact amount of Rage gained can be found in the description of each ability. Whenever you are attacked, regardless of the results of the attack, you will gain 1 Rage.

All of your Hammer Power attacks consume Rage when your Rage meter is full. The unique bonuses that are granted to your Hammer Power attacks only require that your Rage meter be filled once.

Whenever you hit with a Blade ability you have a 50% chance to generate Chi. When you have accumulated 5 Chi you have 5 seconds to consume them and cast the Blade Special ability “Spirit Blade”. “Spirit Blade” grants a beneficial effect that causes your Blade attacks to deal additional damage, based on your Combat Power.

The duration of the beneficial effect provided by “Spirit Blade” can be increased by recasting the ability to consume new Chi. 1 Chi increases the duration by .5 seconds, 2 Chi by 1 seconds, 3 Chi by 2 seconds, 4 Chi by 4 seconds, and 5 Chi by 6 seconds.

If you do not or cannot cast “Spirit Blade” within 5 seconds of gaining 5 Chi you will consume all Chi and gain a heal over time effect that lasts 3 seconds and heals you for 7% of your maximum hit points each second.
