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

Skill Timings

Every skill has a specific timing in which it will activate. The various skill timings are as follows.

Beginning of Phase 【フェーズ開始時】

Activates when a Phase begins. (Note: This means a new wave of enemies. It does not mean the beginning of each turn.)

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.

Note: What this really means is that a skill will activate after you select it for movement and let go. 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.

Special Attack 【特攻】

Activates when attacking, but only in certain conditions.

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)

Increases damage when activated by 1.5. This does NOT increase with Skill Level.

Special Defense 【特防】

Activates when attacked by a weapon or skill of a certain type.

Decreases damage taken by 0.7 when activated. This does NOT increase with skill level.

During Status Ailment 【状態異常時】

Activates when afflicted with a debuff or status ailment.

During Victory 【勝利時】

Activates when you win a battle.

Skill Formulas

The general formula for most skills that cause poison/burn/etc, increase damage dealt, or heal is: ${\text{base value}}*(1+0.01*{\text{skill level}})$

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 $1.2*(1+0.01*12)$

Or an increase of 1.34400. At skill level 99, it would increase damage by 2.38800.

The general formula for most skills that decrease taken (ie Defense buffs) or debuff an enemy to decrease the damage they deal deal is ${\frac {\text{base value}}{1+0.01*{\text{skill level}}}}$

The formula for skills activated during Charge Skill is ${\text{base value}}*(1+0.5*\log _{10}({\text{charge skill level}}))$ or ${\frac {\text{base value}}{1+0.5*\log _{10}({\text{charge skill level}})}}$

Charge Skill Duration and Effect Increase

The duration of most buffs caused by a Charge Skill is sometimes determined by the number of enemies hit by the Charge Skill. For example, a Makara's Charge Skill gives the Protection buff to all nearby allies. If Makara hits 2 alive enemies with his Charge Skill, the Protection Buff will last 2 turns. If Makara hits only 1 still living enemy, it will only last 1 turn.
This is also true of most restoration effects caused by a Charge Skill, such as HP and CP restoration. The more enemies you hit with a Charge Skill that has the added effect of Healing or restoring CP, the greater the effects. Essentially, it will cause it to activate multiple times.
While this is true of some Charge Skill buffs, not all buffs caused by a Charge Skill work this way.

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.
It's 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.

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 3 turns. If you were to wait 2 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.
