Zero gains an EX Skill from a boss if his rank is at least A when he defeats it. Keep in mind, it's his rank upon beginning the mission that counts, not the rank he gets at the end of the mission (which counts for the next boss). These can be equipped and unequipped from the subscreen.

Note: The sprites for certain EX Skills in the listings have been given a blue backdrop to make them easier to contrast against the white backdrop of this page.

Buster skills[edit]

Zero can use one Buster EX-skill at a time, depending on which chip is equipped.

Laser Shot[edit]

  • Obtained from: Hyleg Ourobockle
  • Chip: equip none
  • Charged buster shots become a laser that gets through enemies and shields.

Triple Shot[edit]

  • Obtained from: Poler Kamrous

  • Upon contact with an enemy, charged buster shots split into three shots.

Spark Shot[edit]

  • Obtained from: Panter Flauclaws
  • Chip: Thunder
  • Upon contact with an enemy, charged buster shots split into two shots that travel vertically up and down.

Blast Shot[edit]

  • Obtained from: Fighting Fefnir
  • Chip: Flame
  • Upon contact with an enemy, charged buster shots explode and may hit nearby enemies.

Saber skills[edit]

Zero can use all four Saber skills without changing the equipped chip. The elemental chips simply upgrade three skills.

Tenshouzan: Heaven Rising Slash[edit]

  • Obtained from: Phoenix Magnion
  • Buttons: press Up dpad + Saber on the ground.
  • Zero performs a rising uppercut with the Saber.
  • Chip upgrade: if the Flame chip is equipped, it goes higher and burns things on contact.

Sengatotsu: Spinning Fang Thrust[edit]

  • Obtained from: Kuwagust Anchus
  • Buttons: press Saber while dashing.
  • Zero thrusts the Saber forward.
  • Chip upgrade: if the Thunder chip is equipped, it turns into a sharper, electrified blade.

Sharp Edge[edit]

  • Obtained from: Fairy Leviathan
  • Buttons: press Down dpad + Saber in the air.
  • Zero stabs downward with the Saber.
  • Chip upgrade: if the Ice chip is equipped, it freezes the enemies it hits.

Kougenjin: Mirage Blade[edit]

  • Obtained from: Sage Harpuia
  • Buttons: press Down dpad + Saber on the ground.
  • Zero slashes sideways and shoots an mid-ranged energy wave, and it can pierce through the shields of enemies.
  • Chip upgrade: none

Chain Rod & Shield Boomerang skills[edit]

These two EX-skills are unaffected by elemental chips.

Energy Chain[edit]

  • Obtained from: Burble Hekelot
  • Latch onto an enemy with the Chain Rod and just hold on. After a few seconds, Zero starts leeching away the enemy's HP to restore his own. If Zero's HP is full, this will fill his Sub Tanks. It absorbs HP one bar at time.

Filter Shield[edit]

  • Obtained from: Rainbow Devil MK2
  • Activate the Shield Boomerang just before an enemy shot hits, and it turns the shot into an E-Crystal. By rapidly tapping the B button button in front of an enemy that fires multiple shots, like a Pantheon Gunner, it can be used to farm E-Crystals quickly.
