Please refer to the individual character pages for each character's specific learnset.

Combat Arts are advanced skills that units may use in battle. Units can equip up to two Combat Arts or Spells at a time, and learn new Combat Arts as they gain experience in different Classes. Some Combat Arts become available for use when a unit is equipped with a specific weapon and bears a matching Crest.

Combat Arts cost Weapon Durability to use; Weapon Durability is automatically replenished after each battle, or by picking up purple crystals mid-battle.

Combat Arts themselves gain experience each time they're used. They can be levelled up from Level 1 to Level 3, increasing their power while decreasing their cooldown time and durability cost.

Combat Arts with a might of small will take 5 uses to reach level 2 and then 10 uses to reach level 3, so a total of 15 usages will be needed to reach level cap. Combat arts with a might of medium will take 10 uses to reach level 2 and then 15 uses to reach level 3, so a total of 25 usages. Combat arts with a might of large will take up 15 uses to reach level 2 and then 20 uses to reach level 3, so a total of 35 usages. Self buffs are treated as large and will require 15/20 uses to reach level cap. One can use a combat art the total amount of times needed to level in one battle and take it to max provided the weapon has enough durability for all uses or is replenished during a battle.

Units can teach Combat Arts to each other, but only when very specific circumstances are met:

  • The teacher and student must have at least a C-rank Support with each other.
  • Both teacher and student must have A-rank proficiency with the associated weapon.
  • The teacher must have levelled the Combat Art to Level 3.
  • The Combat Art must be teachable.
    • Each Combat Art can only be taught by certain characters; if a character can teach the Combat Art, it will gain a speech bubble icon once it reaches Level 3.
    • Certain character-exclusive Combat Arts and all Combat Arts granted by Heroes' Relics cannot be taught.
  • The Combat Art must not already be in the student's natural learnset.
  • The student must be assigned to the teacher as their adjutant.

If the conditions are met, the teacher must use the desired Combat Art in battle; eventually, the student will learn the Combat Art themself. [TODO:Needs further testing.]
