Skill chain is basically an order of weaponskills and magic bursts that melee fighters perform in order to get extra damage out of their weaponskills.

ex: Tachi:enpi >> Viper Bite

At the end of a weapon skillchain, a mage can perform a magic burst on the mob to inflict more damage of that certain element.
