Skills

You have a limited number of equip slots for active and passive skills. Choose carefully — not every skill you unlock can be active at once. Swap skills from the Skills screen based on the challenges ahead.

New skills unlock as your nomad levels up. Each level threshold introduces new options for both active and passive categories. Review your skill list after every level up — a newly unlocked ability may change your entire approach to combat.

Skills do not reset between fights. After using a skill in combat, it goes on a real-time cooldown before it can be used again. The cooldown duration is based on the skill's turn cooldown — each cooldown turn equals 5 seconds of real time. For example, a skill with a 3-turn cooldown will be unavailable for 15 seconds after combat ends. Check the Active Loadout on the Skills tab to see remaining cooldown timers. Skills still on cooldown will not be available when the next fight starts.

The strongest loadouts combine active damage skills with passive boosts that amplify them. A strength-based build pairs physical strike skills with passives that increase melee damage and crit rate. Experiment with combinations, but commit to a synergy once you find one that works. With persistent cooldowns, you cannot rely on opening every fight with your strongest skill — plan your approach and pace your engagements.
