Skill



Skills, formerly known as Battle Arts in preliminary versions, are a gameplay mechanic in Dark Souls III. They allow the execution of powerful special moves with weapons and shields, and boost the damage output of spells at the cost of FP.

Weapons that belong to the same weapon-type variety, usually share the same skill. There are some exceptions, however, and some unique weapons may have a particular skill specific to them.

There are a total of 67 different skills in the game.
