Enemy skills

Which enemies have skills, and Veteran.

From the middle of Part 1, bosses and Exalted enemies always have at least one skill; generic enemies don’t, until tier 3 generics (Part 3), which do — on Normal and Hard those show as golden units.

Bosses with Veteran ignore the counter penalties some weapons have, and halve Poison.

Tier 3 generics

Tutorial

From this point onward, you'll be facing generic tier 3 foes that are much more dangerous.

In addition to having higher offensive stats, they also have additional skills much like boss or Exalted units.

However, due to the increased frequency of these foes, their skills can also be viewed within the unit window using your cursor.

Notably, generic foes on normal and hard modes will always be golden if they have any skills.

Helpful Tip

From this point onwards, enemy bosses and Exalted units will always have at least one skill. All other generic foes will not have them, so you won't need to check them individually.

Weapon Penalties

Helpful Tip

Boss units with the Veteran skill will ignore penalties that some weapons have while countering, including brave weapons not being able to attack consecutively.
