Cone Attack

Some monster abilities will hit multiple characters, so long as they are in front of the mob.

"In front" generally means the 45° arc in the direction the mob is facing.

The cone has a variable lentgth, depending on the monster and ability being used.

These are frequently called "Breath" or "Gaze" attacks by NA players. Gaze attacks are denoted below with a *, and can be avoided by turning one's back on the monster before it uses the ability.

See also, Area of Effect, for more information about cone attacks and other AoE types.
