Battle Plans is one of Perun's Battle Skills in Xenoblade Chronicles 2. This skill boosts the damage of Auto-attacks, but not the Auto-attack stat despite the similar name.

Overview

While damage increasing skills are normally very good, this one certainly is not. Auto-attacks are basically negligible compared to arts and specials in terms of damage output and even with doubling their damage at max level, this skill isn't going to change that. Additionally, optimal play is to avoid wasting time auto-attacking because of its low damage output, so this skill won't come into effect often enough to be useful anyway.
