Umbrella scripts for Lion
The main goal is to automate farm and focus in a fight. Umbrella scripts bind complex chains to one key, lead by target coordinates, and cast finishers the moment a kill is guaranteed. All 12 scripts are included in every plan.
Update — September 15, 2026: A modifier check after the ultimate was added — Mana Drain is no longer wasted when it is present. Full change list.
