# Support Mode

Be the ultimate support! Automatically follow your party leader and keep them buffed and healed.

***

## 🎯 Overview

Support Mode transforms your character into an intelligent support companion that:

* **Follows** your designated party member
* **Heals** when their HP drops
* **Buffs** when effects expire
* **Stays close** without getting in the way

***

## ⚙️ Setup Guide

### Step 1: Select Your Master

Choose the party member you want to follow and support.

{% hint style="info" %}
Your "master" is the character you'll follow and cast support skills on.
{% endhint %}

### Step 2: Configure Follow Distance

| Setting              | Description                        | Recommended |
| -------------------- | ---------------------------------- | ----------- |
| **Follow Threshold** | Start following when this far away | 6 cells     |
| **Stop Distance**    | Stop walking when this close       | 3 cells     |

### Step 3: Set Up Support Skills

Configure which skills to cast on your master.

***

## ✨ Support Skills

Configure up to **8 support skills** with smart conditions:

| Setting     | Description            |
| ----------- | ---------------------- |
| **Enabled** | Toggle skill on/off    |
| **Key**     | Hotkey for the skill   |
| **Delay**   | Cooldown after casting |

### Skill Conditions

| Condition        | When Skill Activates              |
| ---------------- | --------------------------------- |
| **HP Threshold** | When master's HP drops below %    |
| **SP Threshold** | When master's SP drops below %    |
| **Buff Missing** | When buff is not active on master |

***

## 📊 Master Status Panel

Monitor your master's status in real-time:

| Information      | Display                    |
| ---------------- | -------------------------- |
| **HP/SP**        | Current health and mana    |
| **Active Buffs** | Visual icons with tooltips |
| **Position**     | Current location           |

{% hint style="success" %}
**Pro Tip:** Keep an eye on the status panel to ensure your support is working correctly.
{% endhint %}

***

## 🚶 Follow Behavior

### How Following Works

1. **Distance Check** — Monitors distance to master
2. **Movement** — Pathfinds to master when too far
3. **Stop** — Halts within comfortable range
4. **Support** — Focuses on casting skills when close

### Smart Movement

* Automatically navigates around obstacles
* Pauses movement while casting skills
* Resumes following after skill completion

## 💡 Best Practices

<details>

<summary><strong>Setting Up Effective Support</strong></summary>

1. **Party First** — Ensure both characters are in the same party
2. **Same Map** — Keep master and supporter on the same map
3. **Heal Priority** — Place healing skills before buffs in your list
4. **Test First** — Verify skills target correctly before going AFK

</details>

<details>

<summary><strong>Recommended Skill Order</strong></summary>

| Priority | Skill Type      | Example                |
| :------: | --------------- | ---------------------- |
|     1    | Emergency Heal  | Heal (HP < 30%)        |
|     2    | Regular Heal    | Heal (HP < 70%)        |
|     3    | Primary Buffs   | Blessing, Increase AGI |
|     4    | Secondary Buffs | Angelus, Gloria        |

</details>

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Important:** Make sure your master stays within the same map. Support Mode cannot follow across map transitions automatically.
