Learn how to permanently learn and equip Weapon Skills in Tales of Vesperia. Discover Skill Symbols and how to activate them for powerful Over Limit bonuses!
Alright, let's talk about Weapon Skills and Skill Symbols in Tales of Vesperia. Think of these as special perks attached to your weapons that can really boost your stats, like making your attack and defense way better. The cool part is, you don't have to stick with just one weapon to get these benefits.
Here's the deal: any skill a weapon has can be permanently learned. You do this by equipping the weapon and fighting battles to earn Learning Points (LP). Once you've racked up enough LP for a specific skill, it's yours forever! You can then equip it whenever you want, no matter which weapon you're currently using.
Now, you can't just slap on every skill you learn without some limitations. If you want to equip a skill without the original weapon equipped, it'll cost you Skill Points (SP). Generally, the more powerful the skill, the more SP it'll drain. The good news is you earn more SP just by leveling up your characters, so keep fighting!
There are tons of skills out there, broken down into four main categories: Attack Skills, Guard Skills, Move Skills, and Support Skills. But wait, there's more! If you equip a specific combination of skills from these categories, you'll activate something called a Skill Symbol. These symbols kick in when you enter Over Limit and give you even more awesome bonuses, which get stronger the higher your Over Limit level is.
Here's a breakdown of the Skill Symbols, what skills you need to activate them, and what they do:
