There are 30+ skills in Grand Blue that you can unlock and use for your Weapons and Fighting Styles. These skills are obtained as a direct drop from various mob NPCs and island bosses. You must obtain these skills to get the best out of your weapon or fighting style. See our full guide below to learn how to get every skill in Grand Blue.
Grand Blue has a unique Skills system in that you won’t get all of the weapon’s or fighting style’s skills just by obtaining that said weapon or fighting style. Instead, you will have to grind separately to get them. If you are using a Weapon or a Fighting Style but are having a hard time unlocking its skills, this complete Grand Blue Skills guide is for you. Read on to learn how to unlock every skill in the game and also see a detailed stats breakdown so you can decide which skills to go after first.
How to Unlock Skills in Grand Blue
Weapons and Fighting Styles in Grand Blue have different skills that you can unlock by defeating the required mob NPCs, mini-bosses, and island bosses. Once you unlock a skill, it will be available for all weapon/fighting style of that type. So, for example, if you unlock the Sword Lunge (sword-type skill), it will be unlocked for all the swords you have in your inventory.
That’s why, to make navigation easier for you, we’ve created different categories for different skill types.
