Skills
Skill Levels
All cards start at skill level 1.
As you increase the skill level of your cards, the power of their skills increases. The chances of their skill activating will increase, and in addition the effect of the skill itself will become more powerful.
Skill Levels can reach a maximum of 100.
Skill Levels are applied to all skills. A new Skill is unlocked for each card when you Limit Break them, up to a total of 4 Skills.
Skills are formatted as (Skill Name) / [Activation Timing] Skill Effect / % Chance of Activation
Increasing Skill Level
Some quests drop items called Souls that are used to increase a character's skill level; each weapon has a corresponding soul. Like Boost, you don't have to match them up; any Soul would do. However, you won't fully benefit from the skill level increase that the matching Soul would yield. Like Boost, you also have a chance to get a great level up, or fever, but also a failure (all multiply the effect of leveling up; more info at leveling). Like Boost, you also have to use coins to increase a unit's skill level, but unlike unit leveling, the coin cost is steeper. It's generally cheaper to use higher-grade (higher rarity) souls to quickly boost, as the cost isn't necessarily related to the soul grade (rarity). Generally, it's better to focus on real leveling a companion up rather than their skill level, as the effects aren't as noticeable.
Skill Timings
Every skill has a specific timing in which it will activate. The various skill timings are as follows.
Timing Name (Eng/Jpn) | Description |
---|---|
Beginning of Phase 【フェーズ開始時】 | Activates when a Phase begins.[1] |
Before Attacking 【攻撃前】 | Activates right before a character attacks. |
When Attacking 【攻撃時】 | Activates when a character attacks. |
After Attacking 【攻撃後】 | Activates after a character attacks. |
Before Damage 【ダメージ前】 | Activates right before a character is attacked and damaged. |
After Damage 【ダメージ後】 | Activates after a character has been attacked and damaged. Used for skills that buff you or your allies. |
When Damaged 【対ダメージ】 | Activates after a character has been attacked and damaged. Used for skills that debuff enemies. |
While Moving 【移動時】 | Activates when a character is moving. Typically used for skills that enhance your movement range. |
After Moving 【移動後】 | Activates after a character moves. This is one of the most common types of activation timings, so please read the footnote to better understand it. [2] |
Special Attack 【特攻】 | Activates when attacking, but only in certain conditions (E.g. If the opponent has a certain skill or weapon type[3]). Increases damage by 1.5x. Does not increase with skill level. |

Skill Formulas
The general formula for most skills that cause poison/burn/etc, increase damage dealt, or heal is:
To give an example, the buff 闘志 (Fighting Spirit) increases the damage a character will do.
It has a base value of 1.2. A character using it has a skill level of 12.
To find out the full damage increase, it would be
Or an increase of 1.34400. At skill level 99, it would increase damage by 2.38800. At level 100, a 2.4x increase.
The general formula for most skills that decrease taken (ie Defense buffs) or debuff an enemy to decrease the damage they deal deal is
The formula for the damage increase done by a Charge Skill is
or
Note that this is only for damage dealt. Most Charge Skills have a secondary effect, such as a buff or debuff.
The level of the buff or debuff applied is the same as the users Charge Skill level, and its power is the same as ordinary skill level of the same.
For example, an Andvari with a Charge Skill level of 50 will apply a level 50 Curse debuff to enemies when Andvari uses his Charge Skill.
Curse is a debuff with a base power of 0.8x, thus the formula is (0.8) / (1+0.01 x 50) = 0.5333. In other words enemies will do 0.533 of their original damage.
Charge Skill Effect Increase
A Charge Skills effect will activate for each ALIVE enemy hit during the Charge Skill. For most Charge Skills that apply buffs or debuffs, such as Charm, this has little meaning, but this greatly changes the power of Charge Skills with healing effects.
For example, if you hit 3 alive enemies with Azazel's Charge Skill, which has the effect of casting Heal on nearby allies, Azazel will cast Heal 3 times, multiplying its healing power by 3. Similarly, if Kuniyoshi hits 4 enemies with his Charge Skill, he will cast CP Up 4 times in a row.
However, an enemy has to have HP remaining when hit by a Charge Skill for it to count. If the enemy is already "defeated" by the time the Charge Skill activates, the effect will not stack. This means it is also possible for a Charge Skill's effect to activate 0 times if it doesn't hit any enemies with HP remaining.
It is recommended you make whoever you want to hit the most enemies FIRST with their Charge Skill your Leader, as Ally attack order is determined by their order in your deck slot. Allies in your Support slot will have more trouble activating their Charge Skill effects multiple times, as they attack last and thus have a higher chance of only hitting dead enemies.
Buff and Debuff durations
1. Buffs and debuffs do not have their durations refreshed when applied again. For example, if you were to cast Blessing on an ally with Youl, they would be Blessed for 4 turns. If you were to wait 3 turns and cast it on the same ally with Youl again, the buff will not reset and the Blessing will wear off the next turn.
2. Buffs and debuffs applied to your team on your team will always count down by 1 at the beginning of you turn.
For example, if you apply the buff Blessing to an ally, it will have a countdown of 4. Then, at the start of your turn, Blessing healing effect will apply, and THEN count down by 1, for 4 turns. This means Blessing will heal you 4 times, the same as its listed turn duration.
3. Buffs and debuffs applied to the enemy team will always count down by 1 at the beginning of their turn.
This means that, in practical terms, each debuff applies to the enemy 1 less turn than what is listed in the chart below.
For example, even though Curse technically lasts "5" turns, it will only reduce the Attack of your enemies for 4 of their attacks, because it instantly counts down from 5 to 4 at the start of their turn. (assuming you applied Curse to the enemy during your turn).
The reason for this is it allows you and the enemy team to have a debuff-free turn. Otherwise, debuffs could be applied to you or the enemy team infinitely.
Simply put, buffs and debuffs on your team will always countdown by 1 at the beginning of your turn regardless of whose turn the buff or debuff started.
Buffs and debuffs on the enemy team will always countdown by 1 at the beginning of the Enemy turn.
Buffs that have an activation timing of Beginning of Phase are applied AFTER buffs have counted down.
Therefore it's safe to wipe out an enemy Phase with 1 buff turn remaining if you want to reapply a buff that has a Beginning of Phase timing.
Damaging and healing buffs and debuffs have their effects applied before counting down. So a poison debuff with a turn count of 4 will damage you 4 times.
It's important to stress that the practical number of turns that a debuff that doesn't damage lasts is 1 less than what is listed, because the debuff will instantly count down by 1 at the START of their turn. For example, Intimidated is listed as lasting 2 turns, but if you apply it to the enemy during your turn, it will immediately count down from 2 to 1 at the start of their next turn, and then from 1 to 0. At 0 it will no longer have any effect, so it really only lasted 1 turn.

Footnotes
- ↑ This means a new wave of enemies. It does not mean the beginning of each turn.
- ↑ What "After Moving" really means is that a skill will activate after you select a unit for movement and let go of it. You do not actually have to move the character around. Forcefully moving other characters will not activate their own After Moving skills. In other words, you can only activate one character's After Moving skill a turn.
- ↑ For example, a character with the Special Attack skill 屠竜の勇者 (Dragon Slayer Hero) will do extra damage to enemy characters who possess the skill 竜を継ぐ者 (Dragon Inheritor)
- ↑ The behavior of this skill is odd. It will always say CP 8 at the end of the turn, but the actual CP you gain is often more. It seems to increase based on the CP you gained previously in the turn from attacking or getting hit. It's unknown if skill level affects the amount gained.
