This ability is a Charge-up Skill.

Once the charges are released, Cobra Strike generates mana and life for the user. Because of the high life and mana drain that this ability grants, it gives the ability to stay in a fight for prolonged periods of time. The best time to release the charges is when two stacks are reached: this ensures a more constant flow of health and mana while reducing the amount of times of attacks are needed. Alternatively, should the Assassin be well stocked on mana potions, just one charge before using a finishing move usually gives sufficient health to survive most fights.
