What are Weapon Skills?

Special Moves of Equipped Weapons

Weapon Skills in Nightreign are special moves tied to the current weapon you have equipped. To perform it, simply hit L2 (PS5) or LT (Xbox) to activate your weapon's current skill.

Sometimes, there will be follow-up inputs that you can do in order to extend this move's combo (for example, Ghostflame Ignition). Other times, you'll have to hold the activation button to enter a stance that allows for follow-up attacks (for example, Unsheathe).

How to Get Weapon Skills

Randomly Assigned for Non-Legendary Weapons

In Nightreign, the weapon skills of any non-legendary, non-starter, or non-unique weapons you pick up during a match are random. Their attached skill will usually depend on the weapon's elemental infusion (for example, a Cold-infused weapon could potentially have Chilling Mist as its weapon skill).
