Skills

Skills are special moves that sit in your hotbar as their own tools, right after your style. Equip a skill and press M1 to cast it. Skills have no hotkeys and are not part of any fighting style.

Using skills

  • Hold the skill tool and click M1 to cast. M2, block and Rhythm still work while holding it.
  • Auto Switch setting (off by default): when on, your style tool comes back after the cast.
  • Swapping tools or putting one away mid-cast doesn't break the skill: it finishes first.
  • Every skill clashes with M1s and other skills.
  • Skills are owned per character slot.

Getting skills

Trainers teach skills. Beat a trainer in a spar and ask "What can you teach me?" to learn their skill. Your first win against a trainer also gives the skill (if you don't have it) plus 500 Won.

Trivia

  • Man-Eater was the first grab skill in the game.
