You’ll unlock
Rise’s first set of Switch Skills by progressing through Village Quests. After completing the 3-star Urgent Quest or completing the 2-star Hub Quests, the game notifies you that a Switch Skill for every weapon is unlocked. Item boxes now have a Switch Skill option you can use to manage all your skills. Some of these initial Switch Skills swap out basic attacks, such as the Great Sword’s tackle. Others give you new Wirebug skills, though.
