Skills
Learning skills in the Skill Shop and using them with SP.
Learning skills
Skills are bought with SPI in the Skill Shop of Bygeniou City or Arlington City. Each skill has levels 1-9, each with a minimum character level - visit the shop as you level. You can buy any level you qualify for, but not one you already have (or surpassed).
Some missions give skills for free: the level-9 training mission gives Missile Shot, the level-20 nation mission gives Ground Bombing Mode (B), Heal Target (M), Siege Mode (A) or Frenzy (I).
Skill types
| How it works | Examples |
|---|---|
| Instant (click) | Heal Target, Back Move Mach, Big Boom |
| Timed buff | Fire Shot, Defense Up, Concentration |
| Toggle mode | Siege Mode, Ground Bombing Mode, Invisible |
| Charge | Charge Shot, Hyper Shot |
Every use costs SP (skill points). Your maximum SP is Spirit × 8 - raise Spirit if you run dry. Put the skills you use most on your quick slots.
