    Octopath Traveler II: What Are EX Skills?

    Octopath Traveler II has hidden skills for your main characters’ jobs. These powerful EX Skills will give you an edge in battle by giving you a variety of boons. Use our Octopath Traveler II EX Skills Guide to learn all about them!

    What Are EX Skills?

    As stated in the intro, EX Skills are strong skills that each main character can learn. These can be anything from powerful attacks to useful buffs and perks. These skills can be used to quickly turn the tables in your favor during battles, especially when used in conjunction with strategic use of the rest of your normal skills and Latent Powers.

    How to Get EX Skills

    EX Skills aren’t acquired through normal means. You can’t just use your JP to buy them like other Job skills. You must explore Solistia and find Altars. Each altar is associated with a job of the main character. Finding the altar and visiting it will bestow an EX Skill for you to use.
