'''Skill points only for recommendations'''
<br>
Total Skill *800
Note: Crafting Skills, and Combat Skills account for the same Total Skill. '''Highly consider creating a separate character solely for Crafting'''
Total == Reallocation ==Once the cap of 800.0 for skills or 700 for stats is reached, you have the opportunity to select a setting for each item (Skill window > Setting button).*An arrow pointing up indicates the skill will continue to earn points, if possible (it will not increase beyond 130.0, or 700 wfor stats).* A horizontal bar indicates the skill will remain at its present setting.* An arrow pointing down indicates the skill will decrease in order to allow other skills to increase.Settings can be selected and changed before the cap is reached; however, they will have no effect and skills/stats will simply increase regardless of setting. == Build suggestions ==The Mobile Suit skill (which is mandatory in any case, at least to some level) is both an offensive and a defensive skill due to its accuracy and dodge bonus for being overskilled for your current MS. === Offense ===The important point with offensive skills is to focus on something and specialize in it, as otherwise you will find your skill points spread very thinly. * '''Universal:''' Engagement (acc), Tactics (atk)* '''Melee:''' CQB (atk/acc, held weapons) -OR- Hand to Hand Combat (atk/acc, hand weapons)* '''Gunner (beam):''' Shooting (atk/acc) + Beam Cartridge Weapon (acc)* '''Gunner (solid):''' Shooting (atk/acc) + Shell-firing Weapon (acc)* '''Sniper:''' Sniping (atk/o tailor boostsacc) === Defense ===There are three purely defensive skills - AMBAC, Defense, and Emergency Repair.* AMBAC is dodge chance, and requires no items or conditions; its bonus will always be active.* Defense is shield block chance, so once you run out of shields this skill becomes useless until you restock.* Emergency Repair is e-rep success chance, but you can only e-rep at 50% damage or greater. [[Category:Game concepts]]
Big overhaul, categorized
A '''skill''' is a measurement of a character's proficiency in a particular discipline, whereas a '''stat''' or status is a measurement of a character attribute. Both are accessed through the Skill window.
== Skills overview ==
In UCGO skills are separated into two categories, '''Battle''' (18 combat skills) and '''Miscellaneous''' (6 crafting skills). In the UCGOHOST implementation, however, only 12 of the Battle skills are currently able to gain points.
The maximum any individual skill can reach is 130.0, with a total of 800.0 points available per character, a limit which includes both combat and crafting skills. Skills increase by 0.5 when some event occurs to increase them (firing a weapon, crafting a vehicle, etc.) with the chance of this increase being based on a variety of formulas that mostly depend on the skill in question. Some events may increase multiple skills at once.
The important point to remember is that '''no single character can max out every skill'''. Either you can be mediocre at everything, or (as players generally do) you can specialize. If you enjoy or wants to engage in [[crafting]], then you should devote a character specifically to that, as the 5 functional crafting skills (the 6th gains points but is not currently used) will take 650 points to max out, leaving little room for anything else.

=== Crafting Skills ===
If your character is a crafter, max all these out (ignoring Battleship Construction). If you're not a crafter, ignore them all. The remaining 150 points can be put in Mobile Suit (so you can move your crafted suits around more easily) and then maybe some combination of AMBAC, Defense, and Emergency Repair - but honestly if you get into actual combat with someone who's specialized for it, you're just going to die. Don't try to fight on a crafter. It won't end well.

=== Character Skills =Stats ==At character generation you have 170 points to assign to the three stats - strength, spirit, and luck - however you see fit. Just as skills have a cap, so do character stats - 700 points total.
Character stats can be additionally increased beyond this limit by wearing some clothing items created by [[tailoring]].
