+ | |||
+ | For example:<br /> | ||

+ | '''Hobo B''' uses Average.<br /> | ||
+ | <br /> | ||

+ | Round 2: '''Hobo A''' has 379 speed, 310 power, and 310 strength.<br /> | ||
+ | Round 3: '''Hobo A''' has 425 speed, 287 power, and 287 strength.<br /> | ||

+ | Round 9: '''Hobo A''' has 754 speed, 123 power, and 123 strength.<br /> | ||
+ | Round 10: '''Hobo A''' has 800 speed, 100 power, and 100 strength.</blockquote> | ||
+ | |||
+ | ====Charm Rat==== | ||
+ | When ''Charm Rat'' is fired, it has a 20% chance of charming your opponent's rat to turn on its owner and attack him/her, a 20% chance of charming your opponent's rat to distract itself and not attack you, and a 60% chance of not charming your opponent's rat at all. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ====Paralyze==== | ||
+ | When ''Paralyze'' is fired, it creates a counter of 30 rounds. Every turn of the player who launched the Paralyze skill decreases the counter by 1. Every prevented turn of the paralyzed player decreases the counter by 6. Every blocked skill fire attempt of the paralyzed player decreases the counter by 11. Once the counter reaches 0, the paralyzed player returns to normal. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Blocked skill fire attempts of a paralyzed player are delayed, not skipped. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ====Tiebreaker==== | ||
+ | If ''Tiebreaker'' is fired by both players in a battle, the second player to fire it has a shot at getting the tiebreak if the first player to fire it fails to get it. If the first player to fire it gets the tiebreak, then the second player to fire it can't get it no matter what. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ====Yoink==== | ||
+ | When ''Yoink'' is fired, it steals your opponent's status effect for the battle and subtracts 10 minutes from that status effect's remaining duration, giving those 10 minutes of that status effect to you after the battle ends. | ||

Skills are special moves that your hobo uses in battle when drunk.
Obtainment
Skills are obtained at the Skill Shop, which becomes unlocked upon completing the the Skill Shop Side Adventure. They are bought with tokens. At first, only three skills can be bought at the Skill Shop; however, as you raise your drinking stat, more skills will become unlocked at the Skill Shop, in groups of three. Each unlocked skill group costs more tokens, but has better special effects in battle. At 500 drinking, all 33 skills at the Skill Shop become unlocked. You can only have up to 999 of each skill at any time.
Mechanics
Upon buying a skill, it becomes placed in your Skill Repository on the Skills page, which is accessible through the Living Area and the "Skills" side bar link. From there, skills can be "set" into a skill slot. In order for a skill to be fired, it must be placed into a skill slot. Also, as you raise your drinking stat, you will unlock more skill slots, up to nine maximum at 400 drinking. Once a skill is placed into a skill slot, it can be dragged up and down into other skill slot positions, that is, if you have more than one skill slot. The skill in the first skill slot will fire first, the skill in the second skill slot will fire second, and so on; basically, they are used in the order you place them. You cannot set the same skill in multiple skill slots. Once you are done arranging your skills, click the "Set Order" button to save your skill arrangement. Leaving a skill slot blank will not cause a "pause" in between skill firing, so make sure you take advantage of all of your skill slots!
In battle, skills automatically fire at set intervals, which are determined by your BAL. The higher your BAL, the earlier your skills will fire. Usually, skills fire every 20 or so rounds. Once a skill is fired, it becomes used up and disappears, so, make sure your skills are always well-stocked! Also, each skill will only fire once during battle; once all of the skills in your skill slots are fired, you will not fire any more skills for the remaining duration of the battle.
The special effects of skills vary from skill to skill; some skills boost your stats, some lower your opponent's stats, some heal you, some damage your opponent, and some do something entirely unique.
If you are a donator, you can save the current skill lineup you have as a named Skill Set and switch to it when desired. You can have up to five saved Skill Sets at any time. If your donator status goes away, you will not have access to your saved Skill Sets.
If you have the Cabana Club Card special item from Bernard's Mansion active, your opponent's skills will miss 25% of the time.
The following is a comprehensive table of certain drinking stat intervals and the skill-related benefits they provide:
