character_name Skill Priority
| Skill | Priority | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
 assist | Assist is low-impact; upgrade it only after other damage skills. | |
 dodge | Dodge attacks add some damage while evading, but are not essential. | |
 special attack | EX Special Attack offers decent burst, but ranks below Basic Attack and Chain Attack. | |
 chain attack | Chain Attack and Ultimate are strong burst options and benefit from the Core Skill buff. | |
 core skill | The Core Skill amplifies Crouching Shot DMG and grants CRIT Rate plus Base ATK. | |
 basic attack | Basic Attack is a steady DPS source; Crouching Shot deals most of Billy's damage, so max it first. |
