What are Weapon Skills?

Skills Unique to Every Weapon

Dragon

Weapon skills are skills learned by the Arisen and Pawns that are unique for the weapon they are wielding. The skills are considered to be the special moves of a weapon.

Weapon Skills are considered either offensive, defensive, or supportive and could be physical or magickal.

Weapon Skills Consume Stamina

Since Weapon Skills are your weapon's special skills, its usage is limited by your Arisen's stamina bar. Don't waste stamina willy-nilly so always try to time your skills when fighting enemies.

Four Weapon Skills Can be Slotted

Dragon

Unlike Core Skills, only four Weapon skills are allowed to be slotted for your character. This is where builds come to play as choosing the best synergy and skills loadout are your keys to winning battles.
