Like {{Item|XP Stars}}, you also have to use coins to increase a unit's skill level, but unlike unit leveling, the coin cost is steeper.

This means that using higher quality skill up items minimizes the total cost needed to skill up.

'''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.  Also, 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.<br />

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.<br />

== Additional Skills ==

== Additional Skills ==

Some skills like [[Hero]] and [[Creator]] grants additional skills separate from the base skill. These skills ignore their tied skill's activation timings and chances (always 100%). Usually these skills include movement modifiers ([[Winged One]], [[Swimmer]]) or damage modifiers (increases damage dealt or decreases damaged received against specific units). For these skills, they also scale based on Skill Level (maximum of 1.5x for increases, 0.75x for decreases).

Because these additional skills are still skills, any form of negation will remove their effects.

== [[Skill Quest|Skill Evolution]] ==

Skills can be further improved through [[Skill Quest]]s. These evolved skills can change the base skill in a predetermined way, be it through increased activation rates, tweaked effects, or outright additional effects. For skills that increase activation rates or other values, they simply replace the base skill. Otherwise, these evolved skills inherit the base skill. For example, [[Drifter+]] replaces [[Drifter]], but [[Mentor+]] inherits [[Mentor]]'s effects.
