Category:Weapon Skills

A Weapon Skill is a special technique you can execute when you have 100% or more TP. Weapon Skills are obtained when your skill rating in a weapon reaches a particular level.

For example, a Dragoon with A+ in Polearm will be able to naturally use Stardiver at level 90, while a Samurai or Warrior, which has a B- rating in Polearm, will receive the same Weapon Skill at level 95.

Physical Weapon Skills can be affected Sneak Attack and attack boosting Abilities such as Berserk. There are also some physical Weapon Skills which can "Deliver a x-hit attack," x being the number of times you strike the enemy within that single technique. These are called "multi-hit Weapon Skills," and you will accumulate TP as normal for the first hit (if it connects), and 1% additional TP for each subsequent hit that lands.

The first swing of any physical Weapon Skill receives a substantial (~+100) accuracy bonus, while additional swings receive no bonus. Pieces of gear that specifically add Weapon Skill Accuracy do affect additional hits though.

There are also magical-based Weapon Skills, that base their damage on an element and never miss. On magical-based Weapon Skills, abilities such as Warcry and Sneak Attack have no effect. There are some Weapon Skills that are a mix of physical and magical damage, known as hybrid weaponskills. These are affected by Sneak Attack, as well as both physical and magical attack boosts.

Many Elemental Weapon Skills serve as Abyssean Red Procs; while certain physical Weapon Skills are Abyssean Blue Procs. All non-Relic, -Empyrean, -Aeonic, or -Mythic Weapon Skills may serve as a proc in Voidwatch.
