Active Skills (commonly abbreviated to just “Active/Actives”) are special abilities cards have that you can use in dungeons to turn the tide in your favor. These abilities include stat boosts, orb changers, healing skills, damage amplifiers, and more.
Active Skills take a number of turns to fully charge; this is shown on the card itself, as highlighted below:
