There are four types of skills in this game: passive skills that are always active, active skills that are activated during battle, resistsances against various status effects and killer traits that help you deal more damage to certain monster families. Each skill has a maximum level that you can obtain in it. Most active skills have a cooldown: you must wait a number of turns before using the same skill again. Of course, you must first purchase the skills in the shop before you can use them.
