How to Remove Skills

Use the “No Skill” Ash of War

The No Skill Ash of War allows you to remove an equipment's weapon skill. This can allow your right hand weapon to use its weapon skill even with a left hand shield equipped!

Optimize your Shield's Ability

If you're not a shield parry user, removing the skill entirely will serve you better, especially if you have a parry shield with a good block rate. Removing it will allow you to keep your guard up permanently while still having the ability to unleash a skill you have prepared.

Can Only Be Applied to Torches and Shields

No Skill cannot be applied on your damaging weapons and only on shields with torches as the only exception of being an offensive weapon due to its primary nature of being a left hand weapon for illuminating dark areas.
