Understanding Skill Conditions

See Skills Explained for specific types of skills.

A Skill’s Conditions determine if and when it activates. These tell you what your Uma needs to do in order to make it trigger, along with everything relating to its timing in a Race. Understanding some of the common ones will make it easier for you to understand and evaluate skills across the board.
