11 Overview

33 Skills are the moves a spirit uses during turn-based battles in Roco Kingdom: World. Every spirit carries a limited loadout of skills drawn from a much larger pool, and choosing which skills to slot is one of the most important decisions in team building and PvP. Skills are distinct from player magic: where the Magic System governs overworld spells the trainer casts directly, skills are the battle abilities of the spirits themselves, resolved through the Combat System.

55 Unlike many creature-collection games that allow unlimited move usage, this game gives each spirit a shared energy pool. Most attacking skills cost energy to use, so trainers cannot simply spam the strongest move every turn. Cheap or zero-cost skills often refund energy, while the heaviest hitters can drain a spirit dry, forcing a rhythm of building and spending. This energy economy, combined with the element type chart and move priority, is what gives battles their depth.

77 Skill Categories

99 Every skill belongs to one of four categories. The category determines whether the skill deals damage, how that damage is calculated, and whether it produces a status effect instead.

1010

1111 CategoryRoleNotesPhysical Attack (物攻)Deals physical damageDamage scales off the spirit’s physical attack stat against the target’s physical defense.Magic Attack (魔攻)Deals magic damageDamage scales off the spirit’s magic attack stat against the target’s magic defense.Defense (防御)Damage reduction / guardReduces incoming damage for the turn and often adds a follow-up effect when it intercepts an attack.Status (状态)Buffs, debuffs, and conditionsDeals no direct damage. Raises the user’s stats, lowers the enemy’s, heals, or applies a lingering condition such as a mark or stack.

1212 In-game the four categories are shown by their Chinese labels: 物攻 (Physical Attack), 魔攻 (Magic Attack), 防御 (Defense), and 状态 (Status). Because there is no official English client yet, the English skill names used throughout this wiki are community translations; the Chinese name is given in parentheses on first mention so the move can be matched against the in-game data.

1414 How Skills Are Learned

1515

1616 A skill can reach a spirit through three channels. The same move may be available through more than one of them, and the channel affects how easy it is to put on a given spirit.

1717

1818 SourceIn-Game TermHow It WorksDefault / Level-Up默认Learned automatically as the spirit levels up. Each spirit has its own level-up skill list, so a move’s default learners are fixed.Bloodline血脉Inherited through breeding and eggs. A hatchling can be born already knowing a bloodline skill that it could not otherwise learn, which is the main way to give a spirit an off-list move.Skill Stone技能石Taught by consuming a skill stone item. Skill stones are earned from specific spirits after using a move a set number of times, then applied to teach that move to an eligible spirit.

1919 Energy and Power

2020

2121 Two numbers define the cost and output of an attacking skill. Energy cost (能耗) is how much of the spirit’s energy the move spends. Power (威力) is the move’s base damage value before stats and type effectiveness are applied. Status and Defense skills have no power value because they do not deal direct damage.

2222

2323 Many skills carry extra clauses that reward planning. Some refund energy (Scratch restores 1 energy), some grow stronger the more they are used or the more enemies they defeat (Meteor Fire Rain gains permanent power on each knockout), some change cost permanently as a battle goes on (Heavy Strike gets more expensive, Water Cannon gets cheaper), and some only reach full power when they connect with a specific condition such as a guarding or status-afflicted target (Sneak Attack and Raid triple their power against a status-affected foe).

2727 The tables below list a representative selection of confirmed skills, grouped by element. Energy cost and power values are taken from the current live build; "N/A" in the Power column means the skill deals no direct damage. This is a sample of the move pool, not the complete list, which runs to several hundred skills across all elements.

5959 Tips for Building a Skill Loadout

6060

6161 Keep at least one cheap or zero-cost attack so a spirit can act on turns when its energy is low. Moves that refund energy, like Scratch and Seed Bullet, help sustain a longer fight.Match a spirit’s strongest stat to its skills. A physical attacker wastes its potential on Magic Attack moves and vice versa, since damage scales off the matching attack stat.Use Status skills to set up. A turn spent on Power Boost or Magic Boost can let the next attack hit far harder than two unbuffed turns would.Mind permanent-change moves. Heavy Strike gets more expensive every turn while Water Cannon gets cheaper, so plan when to fire them rather than opening with them blindly.Bloodline inheritance through breeding is the main way to give a spirit a move outside its level-up list, while skill stones let you retrofit a move onto an already-raised spirit.
