✨ Skills & Buffs
How skills load from your weapon and worn gear.
ArticStory's skills aren't bought from a skill book — your loadout decides what you can cast.
How skills load
- Weapon → class tree. Your equipped weapon loads its class's shared skills, gated by class proficiency.
- Weapon → signature. It also loads the weapon-type's signature move, gated by your best mastery of that type.
- Hat / Top / Bottom / Shoes → buffs. Each worn armor slot loads a class-flavored self-buff (shoes carry the class signature buff).
- Passives from your gear are always on and folded into your stats.
✨
Every character has a 50 MP pool that regenerates over time. Cast skills from the hotkey bar; the basic swing is always on Ctrl.
See each class page for its full skill list: Warrior, Magician, Bowman, Thief, Pirate.
