Weapon Skills (Romancing SaGa)

From SaGa Wiki
Jump to navigationJump to search

Weapon Skills are special skills the characters obtain once they reach certain mastery with a weapon. Though Romancing SaGa marks the first appearance of the gameplay mechanic, it works significantly different from later entries.

Overview[edit]

There are four abilities per weapon, though weapons from the same class will often share the first two skills. The skills are earned as the character raises their proficiency with the weapon. Skills come with a certain amount of uses, and these charges go up as the character masters the weapon.

Unlike all future entries though, there are some odd quirks to Weapon Skills in this game. Skills are dependent on the individual weapon, so mastering the all the skills off a Rapier and then switching to the Estoc which is a stronger weapon within the Fencing weapon class, will still force the character to learn all of the weapon skills again, even if the weapons have the same skills. Unequipping a weapon also resets the weapon mastery to zero, meaning that if the player removes a weapon they've learned all the skills for, and then re-equips it on that character, they will have to relearn everything from the beginning. This gives an odd incentive to hold onto weaker weapons in order to take advantage of their skills while leveling up stronger weapons to take their place later.
