Last update: 21 March 2022
On this page of the Lost Judgment guide, you will find information about the best skills in the game. We suggest which abilities to buy early in the game.
By completing main missions, side investigations, and other activities, your character earns skill points (SP). You can spend points on skills that will strengthen your stats, unlock new combat moves and other useful abilities that will make gameplay easier.
The skill app, available in Yagami's phone, is divided into 6 groups. Some skills will require special Skill Books or completion of main or side missions.
Stats
The first tab has skills that enhance health, attack, and EX actions. From the very beginning of the game you should invest in raising the basic stats of your character.
If you want to unlock as many skills as possible quickly, buy Battle Bonus Lv. 1 right away - it will give you 50% more SP after each battle.
Skills
The abilities tab contains many interesting skills that you will certainly use more than once in battle. EX Waking Wrath allows you to trigger a special EX action when you are knocked down by an enemy.
With the EX Bind Reversal skill, you will be able to quickly break out of the enemy's grasp and perform a counterattack. EX Drunken Fist triggers a series of attacks when the alcohol level is above 6.
In this tab, you will also find many skills that speed up EX bar charging and abilities that increase the effectiveness of Mortal Reversal.
Tiger
If your favorite fighting style is Tiger, get the Flashing Palm skill to easily break through your opponent's defenses. Knockdown Reversal allows you to avoid being knocked down and have a chance to counterattack.
Flux Fissure and Dragon's Crushing Fist skills unlock special abilities that deal massive damage.

Other skills will allow you to destroy weapons while taking them out of opponents' hands.
Threatening Parry gives you a chance to scare the enemy after a successful parry. EX Wheel Throw and EX Spin Attack will unleash a special move with which you can attack several enemies at once.
