'''Skills''' are a type of gameplay mechanic in ''Battle Brothers''. Skills are mainly associated with [[Weapons]]. A weapon grants between one and four different skills for as long as the weapon is equipped. Skills can be used at the cost of [[Action Points]] and [[Fatigue]].

Some enemies have special damage resistance from piercing attacks: stab, puncture, deathblow, lunge, thrust/prong, impale/rupture, throw spear. Minor exceptions do apply: deathblow deals full damage to [[Alp]]s and throw spear to [[Ifrit]]s. {| class="article-table sortable" style="font-size:85%;" | ! align="center" class="unsortable" |'''''Icon''''' ! align="center" |'''''Name''''' ! align="center" |'''''AP''''' ! align="center" |'''''Fatigue''''' ! align="left" class="unsortable" |'''''Description''''' ! align="left" |'''''Source''''' |- {{:Stab (7 fatigue)}} |[[Daggers]] (1H) |- {{:Puncture (20 fatigue)}} |[[Daggers]] (1H) |- {{:Deathblow (10 fatigue)}} |[[Qatal Dagger]] (1H) |- {{:Slash (10 fatigue)}} |[[Swords]] (1H) |- {{:Gash (20 fatigue)}} |[[Swords]] (1H) |- {{:Lunge (25 fatigue)}} |[[Fencing Sword]] (1H) |- {{:Riposte (25 fatigue)}} |[[Swords]] (1H) |- {{:Lightbringer (10 fatigue)}} |[[Reproach of the Old Gods]] (1H) |- {{:Slash (13 fatigue)}} |[[Swords]] (2H) |- {{:Overhead Strike (15 fatigue)}} |[[Swords]] (2H) |- {{:Split (30 fatigue)}} |[[Swords]] (2H)
