V-Skill Guide

A V-skill is the ultimate ability tied to each weapon — the 6th and final skill slot. V-skills unlock only at Mastery Lv100 on that specific ability. This page gathers the V-skill descriptions posted in the developer Discord, with damage values from Foong's base-damage table. Updated .

Sorcery Update status

  • Confirmed: the official 2026-05-16 patch note adds NEW ABILITY: Limitless.
  • Confirmed: the same patch note adds NEW ABILITY QUEST: Illusionist, and a later hotfix says Aizen / Naoya quests were not clickable on mobile.

How V-Skills Work

  • Unlock: reach Mastery Lv100 on the ability. See the Mastery Guide for the EXP grind.
  • Permanent: once unlocked, V-skill stays on that ability across servers, rebirths, slot swaps.
  • Per-ability: mastery and V-skill unlock are separate for every ability. Maxing one does not unlock others.
  • Slot: V-skill is the V key in the standard input scheme (PC).

V-Skill Ranking — Practical Take

Based on the documented set, V-skills break down into two profiles:

  • Burst: Akaza (6 shockwaves, 420 total) and Fire Fighter (927 AoE slam) — strong single-cast nuke for raid bosses.
  • Sustain: Saiyan (+15% DMG buff window) and Shadow Monarch (2 auto-attack shadows) — passive uptime that compounds over a run.

Unlocking any of them takes 257,400 total Mastery EXP on that ability. At about 8,900 mastery per Shibuya Gravewalker run that is roughly 29 runs, or 1.5-2 hours of play — the Mastery Guide covers the farming routes per map and difficulty.

The Saiyan V-skill is specifically called out in the Discord FAQ as a "must-have" reason to keep Saiyan slotted regardless of meta tier — the +15% DMG buff stacks multiplicatively with rebirth, upgrade, mastery Lv75, and trait DMG, making it one of the strongest passive contributions in the game.
