Active Skills

Active Skills are the mid-combo layer of DragonSword: Awakening's combat system. They sit between Status Ailment setup and Signal Skill finishers, and they are what the player uses to extend a combo while ailments are stacked.

Role

Active Skills turn stacked ailments into sustained pressure. Rather than just building ailments and hoping to finish with a single big move, the Hero can weave Active Skills in the middle of the combo to keep damage flowing and keep the target locked in the combo window.
