Skill families is a term used to describe groups of skills that are similar to each other. They have one or more of the following properties:

  • They have identical conditions and effects. (Example: gem weapons)
  • They have identical conditions but different effects. (Example: boost skills)
  • They have different conditions but identical effects. (Example: Flashing Blade 3 Flashing Blade 3, Heavy Blade 3 Heavy Blade 3, etc)
  • They are inheritable (and do not come from Special Heroes in the case of weapons).
  • They are ordered together in the in-game skill list.
  • Every skill in a family has the same true or false value for whether they can appear on randomly-generated units. (Example: Most smoke skills are allowed to appear on Training Tower units.)
  • Their icons have similar designs or patterns.


The following lists will use the highest rank of the skills, with new standards from the Weapon Refinery.
