Skill is a stat in Bloodborne. Some Weapons scale their damage based on your Skill stat, therefore this is an important stat to level if you are planning a Skill Build.
 " The Skill stat governs more nuanced physical weapon ATK. Determines whether or not you can use certain equipment." |
Notes
- Skill (scales your Skill based weapons) softcaps at 25, hardcaps at 50.
- Some Blood Gems affect this stat.

Yes, skill affects visceral attacks. I made a pure arcane build and my viscerals were horrible weak. My skill chat however one shorted alotta beasts.

Why is the Amygdalan Arm here but not on the Strength page? It scales far better with strength than it does with skill.

I hear skill effects visceral attacks? Is this true? Meaning high skill builds do insane viceral damage?

Most OP stat due to it affecting viscerals. Parrying foes does so much more damage and this is so noticeable on foes with way more health like the Orphan or Maria.
