Overview[]
Each class has eight skills in total, starting with a single one and unlocking more as you reach certain levels.
Skills can deal damage based on your character's Anomaly Power (a value you can check in Player Stats, accessed in the Hero Menu's Inventory tab).
Skills can inflict Status effects on enemies: crowd control, damage over time or debuffs (for more information go to Enemies: Status effects).
Some skills provide buffs for you and your party, increase your mobility, or interrupt enemy movement and attacks.
Your basic skill is an Anomaly Push and every Class has its own version. To use the other 8 skills you first need to equip them in one of the three available Skill Slots. Note that it is possible to swap the equipped skillset at any time, although you cannot unequip a skill that is currently in Cooldown.
Skills are labeled with keywords that describe an aspect of the Class. Some large Class Tree nodes grant bonuses to all skills labeled with a particular Keyword (for more information go to Class Tree). The Hero Menu's Skills tab contains detailed information about each skill and its use.
Usage[]
Skills use a number of targeting methods that sometimes require choosing a particular enemy within the skill's range. For more information regarding individual skills, please refer to the descriptions in the Skills tab of the Hero Menu.
Skills that are thrown or used on a selected enemy can be cast using aiming mode, entered into by holding the corresponding skill button. While engaged in aiming mode you can always cancel the ability. Note that should you cancel casting an ability, it will be available again after a brief moment.
All skills can be quick-cast by simply tapping the corresponding skill button. In this case, the skill is used on the closest valid target or thrown in the direction you're aiming.
