List of Skills (XS1)

This list is an article of character skills inXenosaga Episode I - Der Wille zur Macht.

Skill Development
Characters can use skill points to acquire skills from accessories and certain equipment that have been acquired by the party, but are not currently equipped on a character. Skill points can be earned through two methods, either by defeating enemies in battle or by using a Skill Upgrade Item on the character. Only characters that participated in the battle will earn skill points.

Each skill has a level associated with it. The character must be at that skill level or above it in order to be able to learn it. Skill levels are based on the aggregate amount of skill points that the character has used throughout the game.

Characters can have up to 3 skills equipped at a time. Certain skills are known as double skills. These skills stack effects if the character has the skill equipped and the corresponding accessory equipped at the same time.
