Weapon Skills are modifiers found on Rare and higher weapons. These skills give stat bonuses to certain types of characters, or provide other bonuses based on the skill.

Most weapon skills have 2 parts: the base skill, and the skill level. The base skill has a fixed effect, such as "% boost to allies' ATK," and the skill level amplifies the effect by increasing that base percentage. For weapons with maximum levels of 100 or lower, the maximum skill level is 10. For weapons with a fourth uncap, the maximum skill level is 15 after the uncap is performed, increasing to 20 for weapons with a fifth uncap. For most weapons, each skill level from 1-10 increases the base effect by 1%, while each skill level from 11-20 increases the base effect by less than 1%.

There are some skills that require the weapon to be a certain level. This naturally also requires the weapon to be uncapped enough to reach that level. Refer to individual weapon pages to determine if that weapon has such a skill. The skill level can be raised before that point. Likewise, certain skills will be upgraded/replaced by a stronger skill when the weapon reaches a certain level. The skill level will carry over in this case.

Each party uses 1 main weapon and up to 9 sub weapons. This is colloquially referred to as the "weapon grid." The main weapon dictates the element and charge attack of your main character, but weapon skills on all weapons in your grid are always active (apart from a few exceptions specifically stating so) and will strengthen all applicable characters in your party.

Weapon Skill Types

There are 3 standard weapon skill types:

• Normal - Generally found on Draw and older event weapons.
  • The Normal type includes Normal II weapons, Bahamut Weapons, and Ultima Weapons.
• Omega - Also known as "Magna" weapon skills. Mostly found on weapons named after the Omega raid bosses.
• EX - Also referred to as "Unknown" weapon skills. Found on Tie-In event, newer Story Event, and Side Stories. For high-level players, Xeno Weapons, Proving Grounds Weapons and Rose Crystal Weapons are also available. As of November 2016 with A Peace of the Pie, new story event weapons have EX weapon skills unlocked at level 100.

The three skill types modify their own multipliers and can be boosted by certain summons:

• Normal skills are boosted by Premium Draw summons, specifically Agni (fire), Varuna (water), Titan (earth), Zephyrus (wind), Zeus (light), and Hades (dark). These summons increase skill power by +80%, increasing to +120% at 3★, +140% at 4★, and +150% at 5★.
  • Bahamut Weapons and Ultima Weapons are not affected by any summon despite them being considered Normal skills otherwise.
• Omega skills are boosted by the element's respective Omega summon. Starts at +50%, increases to +100% at 3★, increases to +120% at 4★, and increases to +140% at 5★.
• Mysterious skills, a type of EX skill from IDOLM@STER collab weapons, are boosted by the Ranko Kanzaki summon. Starts at 30%, increases to 50% at 3★, and increases to 66% at 4★.

Formula for calculating Stamina:

	Normal				Omega
Skill	Medium	Big	Big II	Ancestral	Medium	Big
Modifier	65.0	56.4	53.7	50.4	60.4	56.4

HP Percentage = (Current HP / Max HP) * 100
25 ≤ HP Percentage ≤ 100

Stamina Strength = (HP Percentage / (Modifier - Skill Level))^2.9 + 2.1
1 ≤ Skill Level ≤ 15

Stamina Strength = (HP Percentage / (Modifier - (15 + (0.4 * (Skill Level-15)))))^2.9 + 2.1
15 < Skill Level ≤ 20

ATK Up as HP lowers

• Skill Name: Enmity
• Alternate Term: Backwater, Last Stand
• Enmity increases ATK in proportion to the percentage of missing HP.

Formula for calculating Enmity:

HP Ratio = 1 - (Current HP / Max HP)
Enmity Strength = Modifier * ((1 + 2 * HP Ratio) * HP Ratio)

Example 1:
7% * ((1 + 2 * 50%) * 50%) = 7%

Example 2:
7% * ((1 + 2 * 100%) * 100%) = 21%

AX Skills

Some weapons possess special skills called AX skills. Weapons that have AX skills are indicated by a special icon.

AX skill effects and effect rates are fixed from the start and cannot be changed by upgrading the weapons or inheriting weapon levels. The number of AX skills, their effects, and effect rates are decided at random.

AX Skill Inheritance

• Weapons with AX skills can inherit stats from other weapons.
• When performing inheritance using a weapon with the same name, the base weapon will inherit the weapon lvl, skill lvl, and uncap status of the source weapon.
• The base weapon's stats won't be overwritten to a lower value when a weapon with a lower weapon lvl, skill lvl, or uncap status is used for inheritance.
• Weapons with lower weapon lvl, skill lvl, and uncap status than that of the base weapon cannot be used as source weapons for inheritance.
• Weapons must not be favorited when attempting inheritance.
• Inheritance is done through the Upgrade menu, not the Uncap menu. Uncapping weapons with AX skills functions as it normally does for other weapons, i.e. uncapping Tiamat Bolt Omega with an AX skill using a 4★ uncapped, SL 15 Tiamat Bolt Omega will simply uncap the new weapon by one level. Using the Inheritance function in the Upgrade menu using the same weapons, however, will upgrade that same Tiamat Bolt Omega to whatever level, uncap level, and skill level the foddered weapon had (in this case, it would jump from level 1, 0★, SL 1 to level 150, 4★, SL 15).

A weapon can be generated with a primary AX skill or a primary and a secondary AX skills.
The primary skill will be either ATK, DEF, HP, C.A. DMG or MA Rate Up.
The secondary skill is assigned from a pool of four effects defined by the weapon's primary skill.

• Following the first table for example, a weapon with a primary may have a secondary skill assigned from the four secondaries to the right of it: , , , or .
