What Are Job Skills?

Skills to Use in Battles

Octopath Traveler 2 Partitio Job Skills

Job Skills are skills that your travelers can use in battles. They're tied to a certain job and they usually cost SP to use.

You can unlock most Job Skills by going to the "Skills" menu and spending Job Points (JP). The more Job Skills you have in your arsenal, the higher the JP cost of the next skill you want to unlock.

In some instances, you'll have to gather materials to unlock certain job skills. In return, these skills don't cost SP in battles but they have a cooldown before you can use it again.
