The basic attack skill can be outfitted with modifiers like Vitality Drain, Hamstring, and Indomitable to give your attacks more utility. Overwhelm and Flow by themselves do nothing and grant no bonuses, but they work as your class resource to fuel your other skills. Some skills that synergize with these stacks include the following:
