The Setup is a rogue ability. It deals damage on a target while buffing up the attacker.
Usage[]
This skill is perhaps the most important skill at the assassin's disposal. Not only it deals average damage, but boosts the rogue's damage output at a great rate: a pretty high boost for very little stamina. It should be used in the first or second turn if possible.
Setup serves as a good foundation for combos and high damage skills. Gut and Blade Fury benefit greatly due to their multihit-abilities and Slash Throat can cause an even more massive bleed on the victim.
This ability works only with dagger-wielding rogues.
