## Preferred target

Each skill will have its own preferred target.&#x20;

When that favorite target appears on the map, the caster will prioritize using skills on that target instead of other targets.&#x20;

Here is a list and icons of favorite targets:

|             **Icon**             |        **Description**        |
| :------------------------------: | :---------------------------: |
| ![](/files/mrm9He8Rac7Cx7N89ITO) |      No preferred target.     |
| ![](/files/kV4ynqj2mRhkydUhCYzc) |  Mongen is preferred target.  |
| ![](/files/ciCGN5U1fi5XNp6x0sb6) |   Troop is preferred target.  |
| ![](/files/80DuoWfio8NwZHk2aSMk) | Landplot is preferred target. |

## Area of Effect

Each skill has its own area of effect (AOE)

Here is the list of categories and the symbol of the AOE:

|             **Icon**             |                          **Description**                          |
