Learning Class Skills

Skills are special abilities which ever class possesses. These abilities vary greatly in their effect, but all of them can turn the tide of battle. To acquire a new skill, one must first be of the appropriate level to use that skill, and have enough gold to purchase it from the Trainer Hall. To use it, you must also have a spare skill
slot in which to equip it. Skills are activated in battle using Energy Points. Careful use of skills and EP can lead to success.

The number of skills you can take into battle is limited by how many skill slots your character currently possesses. You can gain skill slots by levelling up, or get them early and have the edge over your enemies with an in-game purchase using Kongregate Kreds.

Skill Slot Unlock Levels:

• 1st slot = Level 1
• 2nd slot = Level 3
• 3rd slot = Level 7
• 4th slot = Level 12
• 5th slot = Level 18
• 6th slot = Level 25
• 7th slot = Level 34
• 8th slot = Level 50

Note that classes are backwards-compatible with their appropriate skills. For example, a Knight can use the skills of all the previous classes in his tree. However, Knights cannot use the skills from any other tree, like that of the Samurai.
