What are Armor Skills?

Skills Obtained from Armor Pieces

Equipment Skill

Equipping armor or weapons can provide you different skills. Each weapon and armor have differing skills, and it's up to you to choose which skills fit your playstyle.

Skills that affect weapons, such as Speed Sharpening or Critical Eye, are considered Weapon Skills and will be found on weapons, while skills that provide other passive effects, such as Speed Eating, will remain as Armor Skills.

Upgrading Does Not Lose Skills

Additionally, you will not lose skills whenever you upgrade weapons in the same Weapon Tree. Skills can only be upgraded or added as you go down a weapon's upgrade path.

You can view your current equipped skills inside tent or by pressing the Start button, then selecting Equipment Info > Skill Info and then pressing the L1 or R1 button to switch between Skill Info pages.
