V Rising’s weapon skills add distinct actions to weapon types, including close-range attacks, dashes, projectiles, control effects, and recasts. In the supplied weapon-skills passage, each weapon type gains its first ability at Copper tier and its second at Iron tier. This reference covers ten named skills for swords, axes, maces, spears, and reapers, preserving the described damage, duration, cooldown, and effect conditions where stated. The passage does not describe every weapon type’s skills or explain all combat interactions. Read these as bounded descriptions of the listed abilities, not as a complete combat guide or ranking.
Do not assign a skill to a tier from the general rule alone
The source says first abilities arrive at Copper and second at Iron, but does not identify which named skills are first or second. Individual skill-tier assignments are therefore not established here.
Frenzy’s movement and attack speed increases are described as occurring on a successful hit. The passage does not say those boosts apply when the dash misses.
The supplied passage records its cast time as “0.35ss.” This reference preserves the source wording rather than treating it as a verified numeric duration.
Ten named weapon skills from the supplied V Rising weapon-skills passage, covering their described effects, timing, and general weapon-tier access. Other supplied passages about gear and armor are outside this scope. These records describe source-listed functions, not comparative performance.
This is a source-bounded description of ten skills from the supplied weapon-skills passage, not a complete inventory of V Rising weapons or abilities.
The supplied Steam metadata identifies the game and reports Update 1.1: Invaders of Oakveil as available; the skill passage does not establish how its data relates to that update or any DLC.
No source passage compares skill effectiveness or establishes optimal choices, complete unlock conditions, or all combat interactions.
