Combat Arts

First debuting in Echoes, Combat Arts are special attacks that units can use during their own phase. They may increase the unit’s combat stats and have various effects. They cannot trigger follow-up attacks however.

Unlike Echoes, they aren’t tied to specific weapons. Instead, characters may learn Combat Arts when they increase their weapon skill levels. Once a Combat Art has been learned, it must be equipped (there’s space for three). Then it can be used when the corresponding weapon type is available.

Additionally, Combat Arts no longer cost HP and now cost additional weapon durability. Players must decide if they want to conserve their weapons or quickly burn their weapons. Weapons that reach 0 durability will enter a weakened broken state (with reduced Might, Hit and increased Weight).

Magic Spells

Like Combat Arts, spells can be learned by increasing the Reason (Black and Dark magic) and Faith (White magic) skill levels. They can be used a limited number of times per map, but their uses are restored afterwards.

In addition, some classes may possess innate spells. If a character has already learned the same spell, they can cast that spell twice the number of times. Apparently, improving your Reason and Faith skill level can also increase the uses of spells.
