Mastery
Mastery is a measure of weapon proficiency. It is one of the factors that determines Attack Damage. The current mastery system in Black Survival is tiered into multiple letter ranks: the lowest mastery rank is F, and the highest mastery rank is SS.

Raising mastery rank provides the following effects:


 * Basic Attack Power increases
 * Accuracy increases

Mastery rank above S provides unique bonuses.

How to Raise Mastery

 * Deliver a normal attack (Provides +1 hit of mastery)
 * Crafting weapons (Provides varying hits' worth of mastery based on weapon rarity)
 * (Uncommon +0.5, Rare +1, Epic +2, Legendary +4)
 * Crafting weapons with Saint's Relic equipped provides an additional +1 hit of mastery
 * Survive a wave of area restrictions (Provides +1.5 hits of mastery only for currently equipped mastery)

Mastery Rank Effects
S Mastery: 7% Armor Piercing

SS Mastery: 15% Armor Piercing + Superhuman Path: For every 3rd attack inflicted on the enemy, the character’s attack increases by 1 permanently.
