Abilities are shortcurt actions that can be used in battle in Legend of Mana. Utilizing them often with a specified weapon or even combining them can open path to Special Techniques, which are powerful abilities that can be used as soon as the character power move gauge is full.
Abilities[]
There are a total of 26 abilities, of which 8 are available by default. To gain a new ability, one must constantly use one of the required abilities of a new one until it is gained after battle. It is possible to gain a new ability by simply mastering the requirements separately. That means if, for example, you have already mastered Jump and Defend and change both to Crouch and Lunge, you will gain High-Jump and Defensive Lunge after mastering the former two, without the need to use Crouch and Jump together, in this case. Of all abilities, only Counterattack and Counterstrike require only one ability mastered (Defend and Counterattack respectively). All the other non-default abilities will require 2 abilities mastered.
