All Mask Line Charging Speed Terms And Their Meaning in…

Mask Lines in Enotria: The Last Song charge up every time the player hits an enemy. The more times they land hits on enemies, the more their Mask Lines charge up. Each Mask Line is allotted an indicator like Presto, Vivace, or Allegro to describe its charging speed. These descriptors are based on classical musical terminology, which is typically used to inform musicians about the pace of a composition, how many beats per minute (BPM) it's supposed to be played at, and the proper way to play it.

For most players of Enotria, however, these terms may be unfamiliar, as only a small minority will have enough classical music terminology knowhow to understand what they mean. Unfortunately, the game does not tell players what these terms stand for or how to interpret them in the context of the game. Here's how they work.

How Does Mask Line Charging Speed Work in Enotria: The Last Song

Charging Speed indicators in Enotria: The Last Song represent how fast a Mask Line charges. There are seven classical music tempo terms that are used in Enotria to indicate this Charging Speed. They are listed below in ascending order, with the fastest at the top and the slowest at the bottom.

Presto (Fastest)
Vivace (Slower than Presto)
Allegro (Slower than Vivace)
Andante (Slower than Allegro)
Adagio (Slower than Andante)
Lento (Slower than Adagio)
Grave (Slowest)

Mask Line charges are independent of each other. Using one Mask Line has no effect on the charge value of other equipped Mask Lines.

How to Increase Mask Line Charging Speed

Even if you're using a Grave Charging Speed Mask Line, there are ways to circumvent the slow charge-up speed. There are three ways to increase Mask Line charging speed in Enotria: The Last Song:

Increasing the Battlemage stat via level ups directly increases the Link Charge speed, which is visible in the level-up menu.
Upgrading any Mask Line at an anvil will increase not only the damage value of the Mask Line but also its charging speed. This is a direct increase in charge-up speed.
Certain Masks can increase the charge-up speed of Mask Lines when equipped.
Certain Mask Perks in the Path of Innovators have the ability to speed up (or slow down) Mask Line charging speed. Path Of Spellcasting (Battlemage) perk is a prime example of this.

Parries and Ripostes do not build up Mask Line charges.

The charge value of all equipped mask lines is reset to zero every time the player rests at a fast travel point or enters a boss room. Certain special Mask Lines are exceptions to this rule.
