Skills can be used to attack with a special animation using increased ATP and ATA, in exchange for PP. Skills can be taught to characters using Skill Disks, and can only be used by attaching them to a Melee Weapon of the appropriate weapon type. Only one Skill can be attached to a weapon at once. By using the button it is assigned to, Skills can be used normally or during a combo, but they will end the combo. After PA level 10 the currently known Skills will make a longer combo. Skills can be leveled by just using them on enemies a lot. The level caps for Skills per class are as follows:

• Hunters: level 20
• Rangers: level 10
• Forces: level 1

The following section is a list of the known Skills sorted by weapon types and star rarity, the ranges of their statistics over all levels, formulas of their statistical growth, and (to be added,) their animations. To contribute particular Skill statistics, please use the Photon Arts raw statistics page instead.
