Things to Remember[]
- Sword Art Online is a VRMMORPG that focuses on the use of Sword Skills, so there is no magic that any of the players or NPCs can use. Skills are activated by beginning the movement of the skill (such as raising a sword above one's head), and then allowing the program to take over and automatically complete the movement and combo. The weapon typically glows a different color when a sword skill is activated.
- There are some skills with no clear conditions for appearing are called Extra Skills. There are roughly around ten known Extra Skills, including the «Katana Skill» wielded by Klein. Each of these extra skills have at least ten people in the Sword Art Online world who practice the skill. These skills are granted by the higher administrators after observing the amount of time practiced with the skill.
- There are certain Sword Skills that are considered Unique Skills, as such only one player in the entirety of Aincrad can use that skill. There are only two known Unique Skills, which are weapon skills unique to a single player. These are Heathcliff's «Holy Sword» and Kirito's «Dual Blades». These ten skills are rare and granted by the higher administrators.
- Probably one of the most important things to remember is that the way Sword Art Online is programmed, each player can only equip up to 12 skills (of any kind). You do not have to equip 12 skills, but no more than 12 and no fewer than 3. Below is the list of the types of skills a player can equip. Each player start off with the initial 5 skills of any kind which the character can fill up, and more skill slots are granted after the observation of usage by the administrator.
- Non-Combat Skills
- Passive Skills
- Combat Skills
- Weapon Skills
- HP and Levels start off at the default: HP at 250 points plus Constitution bonus and Levels at Level 1. As you continue playing at the roleplay wiki, the character may level up and have higher HP levels.
