■ Skills
Skills
Skills are attack techniques that can be used by characters for each formation. You can use skills by equipping items that grant skills or learning a skill itself.
By equipping an item that grants a skill, you will be able to use that skill. The more you battle and win, the more experience points that equipped item will gain, and when you meet a certain value, you will be able to learn that skill and set it without having the item equipped.
Skills granted by the “Wooden Sword” include:
Area Edge – Deals physical damage to all enemies.
Mytra – Deals unattributed magic damage to all enemies.
Drain Edge – Deals physical damage to one enemies and recovers five percent of maximum HP.
Skill Set

—Some Examples of Abilities
HP Bonus – Increases maximum HP by 10 percent.
Darkness Prevention – Prevents darkness (which lowers your accuracy rate).
Auto-Wall – Produces a wall at the start of battle (increases defense against physical attacks).
Ability Set
By spending “Ability Points,” you can set abilities. Ability Points will return to you when you remove an ability. Your Ability Points will increase as you level up.
By equipping an item that grants an ability, you can set that ability. The more you battle and win, the more experience points that equipped item will gain, and when you meet a certain value, you will be able to learn that ability and set it without having the item equipped.
Super Neptunia RPG is due out for PlayStation 4 on December 20 in Japan, and for PlayStation 4 and Switch in spring 2019 in North America and Europe.
