Flash of Steel.

Weapon Abilities are abilities in Stranger of Paradise Final Fantasy Origin that are marked by orange names and can be used once the player has met the requirement of equipping the correct weapon imbued with the combo ability or obtaining the correct weapon affinity.

Weapon abilities are often tied to the current weapon used, and unlike most combo abilities unlocked via the Job Tree, can be equipped to any slot. Each weapon has a default weapon ability that is unlocked upon first gaining access to said weapon. These abilities tend to vary depending on the rarity of the weapon equipped but will will share two abilities based on the type of weapon equipped. For example, Skybreaker is a greatsword combo ability enabled by the "Zanbatou" greatswords: Barbarian's Sword and Ragnarok.

With the "Wanderer of the Rift" DLC from the Season Pass, an additional set of abilities intended for the use of the Lufenian-type weapons become available after clearing the twelfth floor of the Rift Labyrinth and can be found on said weapons and relics.

In addition, all weapon abilities can be enabled at once by meeting their respective Weapon Master affinity on the corresponding Basic Job (i.e Spear Master affinity = all Lance weapon abilities enabled.).

Weapon abilities end up being a central aspect within melee playstyles, namely with the Samurai and Warrior jobs, and can provide a larger pool of strategy within creating a build.
