How to Unlock and Upgrade Special Combat Skills

Accessing the Skill Selection Menu

Alongside new weapons, Phantasm Addon gives your character special skills that can be unlocked and upgraded to make you stronger against the add-on's new enemies and giant bosses.

1. Check your built-in guidebook to see how skills are unlocked within the layered progression system.

2. Equip the custom staff item associated with skill management into your hotbar.

3. Interact with the staff to bring up the skill selection interface on your screen.

Upgrading and Using Your Skills

Your skills are designed to scale as you face tougher threats in your survival world.

• Unlocking Initial Skills: When you first gain access to the skill system, select a foundational ability that complements your preferred combat style.
• Upgrading Existing Skills: As you progress further and defeat new enemies, return to the skill interface to upgrade your unlocked abilities rather than relying on base-level skills for the entire game.
• Pre-Boss Preparation: Before you summon a boss in the Prismarine Arena, open your skill selection menu one last time to verify that your active skills are suited for a single-target giant boss with unique attack patterns.

Practice activating your skills against standard mobs in the overworld so you are comfortable with their timing and effects before entering an arena fight.
