[[File:Skill.png|right]] '''Skills''' are special moves that can be executed by characters which deal greater amounts of damage than normal moves at the cost of Mana (MP) or at some special circumstances, Health Points (HP). Skills can be added or learnt by inputting '''Skill Points (SP)'''. 2SP is given at every level, but through the usage of temporary SP Scrolls, one can gain an extra amount of SP for a period of time. Most skills has a '''Mastery Level''' of 5 after which one cannot invest any more SP. However, through the use of '''Skill Rings''', one can increase the level of the Skills that the ring can increase. These can be obtained from the cash shop and ice-burners. The highest level one can obtain for a skill is 10.

'''Skills''' are special moves that can be executed by characters which deal greater amounts of damage than normal moves at the cost of Mana (MP), Health Points (HP), Cannonball, Energy (SE), Dynamo Point (DP), Combination Point (CP), or ECP. Skills can be learnt by leveling, and obtain Final Enhanced effects upon advancing to the next job (including [[Transcendence]]). When enhanced, the skill's tooltip will be updated to reflect the Final Enhanced effect. Through the use of '''Skill Rings''', special '''Titles'''', '''Equipment''', and '''Magic Stones''', the damage of the Skills can increase.

[[image:Untrewqritled.png]]


Skills that you wish to use can be placed in these "'''Skill Slots'''". The default keys for these skill slots are A, S, D, C, Q, W, E, and R (And F and T after Transcendence) are the hotkeys that must be pressed to execute the respective skill. Additionally, there is one skill slot dedicated only for '''Hyper Actives''', defaulted to LShift, and one skill slot dedicated only for '''Master Skills''', defaulted to LAlt.


After a skill is used (in normal circumstances), there will be a cooldown counter which has to be counted down before a skill can be used again.

It is possible to have a second set of skills equipped for use by purchasing the B-Skill Slot from the cash shop. This allows you to alternate between two different sets of skills, allowing more variety in the use of skills. B slots are activated immediately for the character upon purchase.
[[File:HQ Shop Item 200880.png|right]]
Before 11/7/2018 Qol Update, the second row of skill slots was locked. To unlock the second row,you had to purchase the B-Skill Slot from the Item Mall. This allowed you to use Q, W, E, and R for hotkeys. B slots are activated immediately for the character upon purchase.
Alternatively, you could do the monthly quest for a 30-day B-Skill Slot to get the second skill row unlocked.


There are numerous skills in the world of Elsword, these can be split into four categories, '''Passives''', '''Buffs''', '''Actives''' and '''Special Actives''', each of which have their special characteristics and abilities.

'''Special Actives''' are unique skills that have high MP cost, but have the potential to do high damage. These skills, when used, cause '''delay''', a small period of time-stop, followed by the image cut in of the character as the character executes the skill. If the '''dynamic camera''' is activated, the camera angle will change to an epic view. Special Actives are an essential set of skills which can greatly enhance your ability in fighting.

Some Special Actives have unique abilities, for example granting you increased range.

An example of a Special Active skill, as seen in the picture, is "[[Illusion Strike]]", where [[Eve]] summons numerous Nasod Gears to perpetuate at the opponent, dealing damage and a great number of hits.
Special Actives can be divided into three types: '''[[:Category: Tenacity Skills|Tenacity]]''', '''[[:Category: Strength Skills|Strength]]''', and '''[[:Category: Bravery Skills|Bravery]]'''. In most cases, the skill's type can be determined by their MP cost. However, this may not always be the case for certain characters due to some skills requiring additional resources, such as Energy, Dynamo Point, or Combination Points.
*Tenacity: 70 MP ~ 120 MP
*Strength: 130 MP ~ 240 MP
*Bravery: 250 MP ~ 300 MP
**Certain skills may not fall into their expected categories completely.
