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 durability cost. Each level-up requires a set amount of uses, which can be found in the chart below. One possible Battle Suggestion will double the amount of Combat Art Experience gained per use, halving the amount of uses it takes to level up.

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.]
