How to get a different skill

  1. Forge or obtain another weapon.

  2. Open Backpack → Weapon and inspect its item card and attached skill.

  3. Equip the weapon to use its move.

  4. Test the skill in the Skill Index showcase or on a familiar Dungeon enemy; compare its practical reach and cooldown before changing your loadout.

Nine Skill Index cards visible in the recorded footage

The entries below are read from ItzVexo’s September 17 Skill Index footage. Each linked name opens the exact video time. “Listed damage” is the panel’s text; we did not time attacks or test the September 28 game build. On a phone, swipe the table sideways to see damage and cooldown.

Published entries that still need a readable in-game card

BloxInformer and a community comparison table disagree on weapon family for their matching rows. The nine cards above support the community table’s family labels for those nine historical examples only.

Other published names without a readable detail card in this review: Inferno Shatter, Fire Slash, Mountain Rift, Flame Vortex, Lightbreaker/Lightbreak Slash, Peerless Sword Formation, Astral Burst Domain, Fury Slash, Radiant Thrust, Lume Thrust, Psionic Cross Slash, Omega Rush, and the separate 6-second Wavebreak Slash report. Astral Burst Domain appears in the BloxInformer list but not the comparison table.

The published tables show 6-second and 7-second Wavebreak Slash rows; only the 7-second SS card is readable in the reviewed video. The Lightbreaker/Lightbreak spelling also differs between the two tables.

Creator recommendations, not a measured ranking

Compare two weapons in the same fight

Equip one weapon, use its skill against a familiar enemy group, then repeat with the alternative under similar boosts. Look at clear time, whether the attack reaches the group, and whether you stay alive between uses.

A larger displayed power value and a better-feeling active skill are separate observations. Do not treat a creator’s SS label as a guarantee that every weapon with that move is your best upgrade.

When to enchant instead of chasing another sword

If you already have a weapon you want to keep, Tower can supply runes for Enchant. The reviewed footage shows two enchantment slots on a weapon. Read the available rune’s effect before applying it; the sources do not establish a universal best combination.
