Pup Solo Skillchain
Using the Automaton Attachment, Inhibitor, or with good timing, a Puppetmaster has the ability to solo Skillchain with its Automaton. If the Puppetmaster's TP is 90% or above, the Inhibitor will force the automaton to save TP until the Puppetmaster uses a weaponskill it can skillchain with. The automaton will ignore all maneuvers when attempting to skillchain. It will prioritize the highest weaponskill it has, that will still cause a skillchain.
