I’ve listed every skill in Ova Magica, along with details on which blobs learn them and what they do, in this guide.
Learning Skills
Each base blob comes with two or three skills and cannot learn any more. When breeding blobs, the resulting egg can have up to four skills, inherited from its parents. Blobs can only inherit typeless skills, or ones of the same type as them. We also have a guide to blob locations and how to get them.
Icons:
Example of a blob with four skills, which can gain experience in every stat.
There are four icons to the left of each skill’s name:
- Top-left: Type Magma is represented by a red sun, Storm is represented by a blue cloud, and Forest is represented by a green leaf. If there’s no icon, the skill is typeless.
- Top-right: E or F Does anyone know what this means?
- Bottom-left: Number of targets One head-and-shoulders icon means the skill affects a single target. Two icons means it affects an entire team.
- Bottom-right: Stat experience The sword represents attack, the shield represents defence, and the clock represents speed. Whenever a blob uses a skill, the percentage bar will increase. When it reaches 100%, the blob’s corresponding stat will be raised at the end of battle (unless the entire team was knocked out).
