What Are Skills?

Special Equipment Moves

Skills are unique abilities that can be used depending on your equipped weapon or your currently equipped Ashes of War. They can provide a new layer of tactical strategy that can be employed for your combat style.

Most skills are focused on being able to deal damage either in a more advantageous way by using extra range or being able to deal more damage. While some skills are focused on utility, such as providing a parry or increasing your character's stats.

Every Weapon has a Skill

Skills can be found in every weapon in Elden Ring. You can use skills to make the most out of the weapon you are using, allowing you to maximize the performance of your weapon.

In an interview by Hidetaka Miyazaki, he stated that there will be about 100 weapon skills available in the game, allowing players to customize their fighting style to the weapon of their choice.

Costs FP to Use

Using Weapons Skills will cost you FP and will decrease your FP gauge. Once the FP gauge reaches 0, you will not be able to use your weapon skills again.

If you want to increase the number of times you can use your skills, you need to commit a lot of points to your FP attribute or you can bring more than one Flask of Cerulean Tears to keep you filled with FP.

How to use Skills

Use the L2 Button to Use Skills

To use weapon skills, two-hand your weapon and press the L2 button to activate the skill. Depending on the skill, you can unleash additional attacks by pressing the R1/R2/L2 buttons after the initial attack.

If your left hand is bare or depending on your weapon type, you may be able to activate the skill in your right hand without having to go to two-handed mode.

How to Parry

Equip a shield with the Parry skill attached to your left hand and press L2 to repel enemy melee attacks. If your parry is successful, you can stagger your enemies, giving you a chance to strike a fatal blow.
