About Skills

Each character in Atlantica Online has one or more skills. Each hero (main) character can have up to 5 skills (eventually as the hero levels) and each mercenary can have numerous skills, which vary by merc.

Some skills can be used by more than one main or mercenary, others are limited to a single class.

New skills are learned and existing skill level increased by consuming skill books.

See the Magic tab in the Skills Window to see all magic skills of any character currently in your formation.

Overdrive Skills

Ancient Fury is an Overdrive skill that all players level 60 or higher can use, regardless of main character class, and it is well worth having!

Hero (Main Class) Skills

Each hero can have up to 5 skills, 3 skills prior to level 100. After the level 100 upgrade quest line, the hero can choose a 4th skill. After the level 120 upgrade quest line, the hero can choose a 5th skill. While a hero has a choice of several level 120 skills, a hero can only choose 1 of the available level 120 skills.

A hero can, but does not have to, learn all of the skills available to that main class, limited only by the available skill points.

Mercenary Skills

Each mercenary has the possibility to learn several skills, as defined in Atlantica Online under Game Info > Classes. That mercenary can, but does not have to, learn all of the skills available to that mercenary, limited only by the available skill points.

An exception to this are Legion mercenaries. Legion mercenaries gain and level a predefined set of skills as they upgrade and get no skill points. See Legions for more information about Legion mercs.

Skill Points

Skill Points determine how many skill levels a given character (main or mercenary) can learn.
