In "Isekai Tensei" works, in which the protagonist goes on an adventure in a world different from the real world, each work has a unique battle setting that differs from reality. In this work, you can enjoy flashy battles with fire and ice flying around in the form of skills that would be impossible in the real world. What is particularly interesting about this work is that since the protagonist is a sword, he can also use skills to move, cook, and learn. Indeed, the protagonist's sword has no brain, and no legs to move, so the only way it can move is to store it in the form of skills. Therefore, compared to other works, this work has a huge variety of skills, and a very wide variety of skills are active. Therefore, it is a work that tends to be perceived as cluttered and difficult, so in this article I would like to introduce the skills that appear in this work and their classification!
The most important element in this work! !
As mentioned at the beginning, skills are the most important element in the work. In this work, the protagonist's sword, the Master, requires skills even to move, so a distinctive feature is that detailed skills are prepared for actions and movements in daily life.
Weapons: Skills Over Attack Power
Therefore, it is not purely attack power or durability that is important when it comes to weapons, but how diverse the skills you can use are also very important. There was a scene in the work where the master lamented his low attack power, but it is important to remember that attack power in this work is not that important.
Why intelligent weapons are strong
In particular, the protagonist of this work, the Master, is classified as an intelligent weapon and has a highly intelligent mind. It is advantageous in battle if not only the user of the skill but also the weapon can use it with self-awareness. It can be said that this is a setting unique to this work that has evolved to make the protagonist of this work, the Master, more active.
A particularly important element in the story
In this way, skills are one of the interesting aspects of this work, and at the same time, they are an element that we would like to pay particular attention to in the work. It can be said that there is a huge difference in the enjoyment of this work between reading without understanding the skills and reading after studying them thoroughly.
Make use of the skill list! !
Skills are the most important element in the story, but the original site for this work, "Let's Become a Novelist", has a page called "Skill List" at the top of the table of contents. By making good use of this page, you can check the skills in this work in detail.
Easy to check
Thus, while the skills in this work are very complex, you can easily check the list of skills from the table of contents, so it can be said to be a work that can be read casually. The author also provides thorough support precisely because the setting is so complex.
Skill types
Now, from here, I would like to introduce the basic classification of skills that appear in this work and their respective characteristics. If you are a reader who wants to know about the skills that appear in this work in a simple way, please check it out!
Weapon combat skills
This is the most useful skill in the battle scenes in the work. These are basic skills for handling normal weapons and fists, such as swordsmanship and boxing. Because they are basic skills, many of them are easy to learn, but some, such as sword saints, are difficult to master. These skills will be depicted from the beginning of the anime, so be sure to remember them.
Battle Skills
This is a skill that allows you to use special moves using weapons. You can slash enemies while wrapped in flames, or perform attacks that look like special moves. Many of these are higher level than weapon combat skills. These skills are sure to appear in the battle scenes of this work, so be sure to learn about them as well.
Body Control Skills
This is a skill that increases your leg strength and improves your athletic ability in a short period of time. By fighting using magic and combat skills while increasing your physical abilities during battle, you can temporarily release power from your normal abilities. In addition to this, there are also normalization skills that can be used normally, and the latter skills are more difficult to use because they can be normalized.
Magic Skills
This is a skill that allows you to use "magic", which is familiar from normal RPG games. There are many attributes within magic, and it seems that the compatibility differs depending on the attribute. It is a skill that can be used even with a sword, so it is interesting that you can attack from a long distance even though it is a close-combat weapon.
Sensory detection skill
Sensory detection skill is necessary in complicated dungeons. There are various variations of detection skills, such as appraising weapons. It is a familiar element in RPG games. It is one of the skills that the protagonist's master also used from a relatively early stage.
Stealth Concealment Skill
The exact opposite of the Sense Detection skill is the Stealth Concealment skill. Use it when you want to escape from an opponent who is lower in rank than you, or when you want to hide yourself to gain an advantage during a battle. It is an essential skill for advanced combat.
Influence Skills
This is a skill that directly affects the emotions of others, such as intimidating those around you or raising the morale of your allies. Since it is also a skill that can manipulate minds, it is a skill that is often used in the majority of battles. The larger the battle, the more useful this skill is, so it can be said that it is a skill that shines more in the latter half of the game.
Resistance Skills
This is a skill that gives you resistance to certain magic skills and attacks in advance. This game has a wide variety of skills and attacks, so you need to defend yourself in advance.
Skills
This is a skill that allows you to acquire various specialized abilities. Although there are limited occasions where they can be used, such as cooking, acting, and dissecting bodies, they are characterized by the fact that they have many useful skills. The master is the one who uses them the most.
Academic Skills
A skill that allows you to acquire academic knowledge. The master, the protagonist of this work, is a sword, so he does not have a brain, and it is a mystery why he has intelligence, but it can be assumed that he had this type of skill from the beginning.
Magic Ability Skills
If there is a character who has an ability that seems to be used by a demon king or enemy character, the skill that character uses is probably a magic ability skill. Magic ability skills are often used by highly capable enemies in the work. Therefore, the level of the skill is high and it is a skill that ordinary users cannot handle.
Special Ability Skills
Special ability skills are skills that can create some special environments and physical conditions, such as making undead violent or making muscles like steel. Although it has a fairly niche effect, it can be overwhelmingly powerful if it hits you exactly right depending on your own environment and the cleaning situation. It is a skill that is used by a very limited number of strong people in the work.
Normal Skills
Normal skills are skills that constantly strengthen your own abilities. They are small abilities that increase recovery ability and further develop the five senses such as smell and hearing, but they are always effective and, above all, their strength is that they never get in the way. Although it is a particularly plain skill in the work, it is generally a high-level skill, so this skill is also something that only the chosen ones can use.
Protection Skills
The last skill I'd like to introduce is the protection skill. Protection skills are a type of skill that is particularly rare among the many skills available, and they allow you to obtain the protection of certain spirits. It is a skill that is difficult to use because it gives bonuses to other skills, but the required level is particularly high compared to other skills, and it can be said to be a very difficult skill.
Summary
What did you think? This time, I introduced the skills that appear in this work, "I Was Reincarnated as a Sword." For more details, I think it would be easier to understand if you look at the list of skills on "Let's Become a Novelist," but in this article, I have summarized the characteristics by type to make it even easier to understand. Since there are a huge number of skills in this work, it may be difficult to understand them all, but that is why you can find your favorite skill in this work, so if you read the original work and like it, please continue to enjoy the anime version of this work. The anime is full of vivid descriptions of skills that were not depicted in the novel version, so it is a must-see for all skill lovers.
