Battle Skill

Battle Skills, also often called Blade Skills, are special skills used by s in Xenoblade Chronicles 2 and Torna ~ The Golden Country. Battle Skills are always active during battle.

The effects of Battle Skills range from increasing damage against certain types of enemies or in specific setups to healing skills or obtaining more Gold. Every rare and legendary Blade carries three skills (with Poppi and her various forms being the exception), and common Blades can carry between one and three skills. A Battle Skill can have up to five levels, which needs to be upgraded in the Blade's by fulfilling certain conditions. Battle Skills are represented by yellow nodes on the Affinity Chart.

A common Blade's skills depend on its role. Tanks, attackers, and healers each have a distinct set of Battle Skills they can obtain.
