Battle Abilities

There is a total of 28 Battle Abilities in the game. After killing the first boss, you receive 6 of them for free (Heavy Shot, Gain Life, Temper, Ward, Reflect Damage, Impact Guard). The other 22 have to be unlocked by collecting specific number of points. You'll get one point every time you successfully perform chain attack or use defence ability.

Keep in mind that:

  1. Even if you meet the point threshold during the fight, the new ability will be awarded only after the killing blow.
  2. You can also collect points by attacking target dummies, but to unlock the new ability you'll have to kill a regular mob or a boss first.
