Combat Arts (Three Hopes)

^Back

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.

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.

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 weapon in question.
• The teacher must have levelled the Combat Art to Level 3.
• The Combat Art must have been learned from Classes (Combat Arts granted by special weapons, for example, 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.]
