Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII/Buster Sword Proficiency

In Crisis Core Reunion, when you obtain the Buster Sword in Chapter 6, you also have access to a Battle Stance and a Buster Sword Proficiency stat. It starts at 0.00% but with each time you use the Battle Stance (defeating an enemy or blocking), the proficiency will go up by 0.02%-0.07% or so (it is limited to 0.8% per battle). Using the Battle Stance once costs 10 AP.
