So skills, we all know and love them, especially in this game, because it's our primary source of anything because auto-attacks.......... >.>
For those of you that have stuck to auto attacks... -gets off my pedestal to go comfort the one person in the audience who has broken into tears atm-
Anyhow.... Where was I? Oh right, skills.
The 3 things at the bottom of the screen.
We all know (thanks to the wonderful tutorial) that we use the 1,2,3 (or if you've somehow managed to change the keybindings, use a controller etc) to select the skills and then rightclick (w/e exceptions) to use them.
Basics. Not that you need them, but I thought I'd put this information here because why not.
Moving on, skill leveling. Skills level as you use them in combat, or in buffing cases just use them on a person in general. (can be in town or not)
Level limits are determined by the skills rank. (I'll go a bit more into this a bit later)
From what I've seen rank I has a skill lvl 10 limit, rank II lvl 20, etc.
Skill levels are important because they increase the force of a skill and allow you to either evolve or extract a certain skill.
Using the skill on any weapon will level the skill as a whole (different ranking skills even if of the same skill family will level independently of one another) and not individually for each weapon. The skill as a whole will then apply to each weapon with that particular skill and rank.
Once a skill has hit a certain level, be it max level for evolution or x level for extraction you can do either of these two previously mentioned.
Starting off evolution.
The bane of confusion with Momo. Skill evolution is a rng (bwahahahah the troll gods hate us) possibility which appears on weapons.
To know if the weapon you've obtained has met that rng chance go to momotarou's skill evo and look at your weapon's skills to see if they have a border.
Luckily, this particular weapon has both a double and triple border for me to explain.
The double border indicates that that particular skill can evolve once. (edit: nvm only skill extraction will level down a skill) -What does this mean? You can evolve the same skill on different weapons as long as requirements are met-
The triple border is similar but instead of being capable of evolving once, it can evolve twice but still follows similar rules to the double border.
Skill level needs to be maxed for the multi-border to take effect and allow the skill to "evolve" to the next rank.
Raising Momo's partner level will bump the evolution limit and allow you to do higher level evolutions such as rank 2->3 and 3->4, etc.
Best part is? This is one of the few features that doesn't cost any ryou! -looks at the poor drained wallet of mine and looks at all the people I know who've dumped millions of ryou into them weapons- (warning:timetolevelskillsnotincludedthankyoufortakingyourtimeandwehopetoseeyouagain)
Ok, next one. Skill extraction.
As you can see, extraction water dragon spear III will drop my skill level from 30 (max) to 11 taking a total of 21 skill levels for this rank 3 skill. (note: it doesn' necessarily take max level unlike skill evolution to extract a skill)
It also costs 200k ryou -looks back down at wallet and cries some- but the price will range depending on the rank of the skill you are trying to extract.
Extracting a skill will turn that skill into a skill card which can then be put on another weapon which can utilize that particular skill. (note: same rules still apply as would a skill card you get from the lucky box *I think anyways*)
Same with evolution, adding more friendship with Momo will unlock higher level extractions for you to do (not to mention adding an extra penny along the way $.$)
Anyhow, that should give you people a general idea as to how skills work and I'll put a rundown of my points right below this comment. Thanks for reading this incomprehensible mass of text.
TL;DR
-Level skills
-skill level applies to all weapons and are independent with skill rank
-evolution requires double border skills and max skill level to do (limited by weapon)
-extraction requires x skill level and y ryou to do (limited by skill level and however much money you have on you atm)
(I may add some more stuff based on feedback and other advice you guys give to me. Thanks in advanced.) -SeekerFate
