Skills versus signature techniques
General skills and signature techniques should be tracked separately. Skills are named as a broad progression reward; signature techniques are specifically associated with weapons obtained from powerful foes in the Steam description.
What cannot be inferred
Trailer attacks do not reveal whether a move is a core combo, weapon technique, unlockable skill, Phantom Edge action, or contextual animation. The database will wait for official terminology and the retail menu hierarchy.
Launch verification
Each skill entry will record prerequisites, unlock cost, input, effect, upgrade levels, compatible weapons, respec behavior, and practical applications. Tested boss or exploration examples will distinguish useful advice from copied menu text.
Source and update status
This page is grounded in the official source. It distinguishes published facts from details awaiting the dedicated State of Play or retail build. Rumors, unofficial names, and trailer-only assumptions are excluded.
