About Unlocking Skills

Note: Skills that require a specific number of enemies defeated during Dark Blast will always keep track of progress throughout any number of quests where Dark Blast is activated. This means you are not forced to attain the total number of kills in a single Dark Blast activation. This also applies to skills that require multiple usage of other skills to unlock.

  • During fights against Dark Falz Appregina in Queen's Nightmare: Earth Depths and Queen's Nightmare: Sand City, depending on the difficulty, skills that are low leveled or not have been unlocked will be temporarily unlocked and some skills will be set to a preset level (level 6 for SH and level 9 for XH).
