What Chain is like
Chain is the most expensive Rare in the store at 10,000,000 Yul, and it earns it. Maxbit ranks it “the fifth best Grimoire in the game … solid damage with low cooldowns and a great CC effect with the cage.”
Where Lightning wins on sustained damage and mobility, Chain wins on control: the cage holds enemies in place, which makes it easier to land your other skills and safer in PvP.
Its awakening recipe is mostly cheap: Boar Meat, Clear Water and Earth Root are shop or Starter Island materials. Golden Leaf, Spirit Moss and Stone Crust are the long trips.
Chain moves
| Slot | Move | What it does / when to use it |

| Kit | Unnamed in source | Solid damage on low cooldowns plus a cage that holds enemies in place. |

- Chain and the new Mercury book both use chain-style attacks; they are different books.
