For those who have not completed games in the Xenoblade Chronicles series, this page contains spoilers regarding the plot. Discretion is advised. |
Fields Skills are a type of skill in Xenoblade Chronicles 2 and Torna ~ The Golden Country which Blades possess. Field Skills may be required to open Treasure Troves or bypass obstacles. Some Field Skills increase the yields from Collection Points. When a minimum level in a field skill is required to perform an action, multiple Blades may combine their skill levels to meet the level requirement.
Field Skills are upgraded through the Affinity Chart. They appear as green skills on the right end of the chart.
