Also known as Renkei(連携), which is short for Wazarenkei(技連携).Most [[Weapon Skills]], Physical [[Blood Pacts]], [[Physical Blue Magic]], and [[Automaton Weapon Skills]] are associated with one or more latent Weapon Skill Attributes. When two attacks with the correct Weapon Skill Attributes successfully connect with a target in succession, a powerful surge of energy is released. This surge is called a Skillchain (Japanese: Renkei).A successful Skillchain deals extra damage to a monster, based on the monster's Resistance to the elements associated with the Skillchain. A may also be be used to increase the potency of offensive magic by casting magic of the same elemental alignment to produce a Magic Burst.

==Skillchain Basics==
A Skillchain is created by successfully performing Weapon Skills in the correct order. The order of [[Weapon Skills]] is determined by the attributes of the [[Weapon Skill]] (see [[Weapon Skill Attributes]] below). When a [[Weapon Skill]] is performed and successfully connects with the target, the target resonates with the Weapon Skill Attributes of the used Weapon Skill for approximately 5 seconds. If the target is then hit with a Weapon Skill Attribute which chains with the resonating Weapon Skill Attributes, a Skillchain is formed.When performing the necessary Weapon Skill there is a window of 5 seconds starting 1 second after the previous [[Weapon Skill]] in which the following Weapon Skill can be performed. If the following Weapon Skill is performed too soon or too late the [[Skillchain]] will not be formed.If a Weapon Skill is performed which does not chain with the Weapon Skill Attributes the target is resonating with, the resonating Weapon Skill Attributes are replaced by those of the performed Weapon Skill. If the subsequent Weapon Skill has no Weapon Skill Attributes (ex. [[Spirits Within]], [[Spirit Taker]], [[Energy Steal]], [[Energy Drain]], [[Starlight]], [[Moonlight]]) or misses entirely, the target will continue to resonate with the previous Weapon Skill's Attributes until another Weapon Skill with Attributes connects, or until time expires.The damage performed by a Skillchain is determined by the level of the Skillchain and the damage dealt by the Weapon Skill which completed the Skillchain. For this reason, [[Thief|Thieves]] and the [[Sneak Attack]] ability are ideally suited to closing a Skillchain for large amounts of damage.
==Weapon Skill Attributes==
moreThe basis of a Skillchain involves the attributes associated with each Weapon Skill performed. The correct combination of attributes produces a Skillchain.There are 14 Weapon Skill attributes in total.
====Level 1 Attributes====
* Transfixion
**Associated with the element [[Light]] and piercing damage.
* Liquefaction
**Associated with the element [[Fire]] and heat-based damage.
* Impaction
**Associated with the element [[Lightning]] and blunt damage.
* Detonation
**Associated with the element [[Wind]] and wind damage.
*Compression
**Associated with the element [[Dark]] and darkness damage.
*Scission
**Associated with the element [[Earth]] and slashing damage.
*Reverberation
**Associated with the element [[Water]].
*Induration
**Associated with the element [[Ice]].
These are the most common attributes and most Weapon Skills have one or more of these. Each attribute is associated with an element and type of attack or damage.For example, the Weapon Skill [[Tachi: Enpi]] carries the attributes Transfixion and Scission. Observing the Weapon Skill in action, it is clear to see that the user performs a slice across the target followed by a piercing blow to the center of the target.
====Level 2 Attributes====
*Fusion
**Associated with the elements [[Light]] and [[Fire]].
*Fragmentation
**Associated with the elements [[Lightning]] and [[Wind]].
*Gravitation
**Associated with the elements [[Dark]] and [[Earth]].
*Distortion
**Associated with the elements [[Water]] and [[Ice]].
Only high-level Weapon Skills carry these attributes. The attributes are not associated with any sort of damage type or weapon skill type.
====Level 3 Attributes====
*Light
**Associated with the elements [[Light]], [[Fire]], [[Lightning]] and [[Wind]].
*Darkness
**Associated with the elements [[Dark]], [[Earth]], [[Water]] and Ice.
These attributes are only available on the Weapon Skills unique to the [[Relic Weapons]].
==Forming Skillchains==
Skillchains are formed by hitting a target with a correct sequence of Weapon Skill Attributes. The specific sequence required varies between the various Skillchains. Not all sequences produce a Skillchain.
===Level 1 Skillchains===
{| width="100%" border="0"
| width="60%" valign="top" |''A Level 1 Skillchain can do up to 50% of the damage of the closing Weapon Skill, depending on the target's [[Resistance]] to the Skillchain element.''Level 1 Skillchains are comprised of a single element and correspond to the Level 1 Weapon Skill Attributes. Each Skillchain is the same as the closing Weapon Skill Attribute that is used to form the Skillchain.For example, hitting a target resonating with the Compression attribute, with a Weapon Skill possessing the Transfixion attribute, will produce a Transfixion skillchain, which is aligned to the element [[Light]].

===Level 2 Skill Chains===

| width="60%" valign="top" align="left" |''A Level 2 Skillchain can do up to 60% of the damage of the closing Weapon Skill, depending on the target's [[Resistance]] to the Skillchain elements.''Level 2 Skillchains are comprised of '''two''' elements and correspond to the Level 2 Weapon Skill Attributes. The Skillchain is not necessarily the same as the closing Weapon Skill Attribute that is used to form the Skillchain.Level 2 Skillchains can be formed by a combination of Level 1 Weapon Skill Attributes or a combination of Level 2 Weapon Skill Attributes. Primarily they are formed using the Lv.1 attributes since these are available at much lower levels than the Lv.2 attributes.For example, hitting a targeting resonating with the  Transfixion attribute, with a Weapon Skill possessing the Scission attribute, will produce a Distortion Skillchain, which is aligned to the elements Water and Ice.

===Level 3 Skill Chains===
{| width="100%" cellpadding="5" |
| width="60%" valign="top" align="left" |''A Level 3 Skillchain can do up to 100% of the damage of the closing Weapon Skill, depending on the target's [[Resistance]] to the Skillchain elements.''Level 3 Skillchains are comprised of '''four''' elements and correspond to Level 3 Weapon Skill Attributes.Level 3 Skillchains are formed from Level 2 and Level 3 Weapon Skill Attributes. Because of these requirements, they can only be performed on high-level characters. Lv.3 attributes are exclusive to Weapon Skills found only on [[Relic Weapons]]. This rarity means that Lv.3 Skillchains are typically produced using Lv.2 attributes.'''''Unlike Level 2 and Level 1 Skillchains, '''Level 3 Skillchains do not require the Weapon Skill Attributes to be combined in a specific order''. This leads to additional flexibility when creating Lv.3 Skillchains and makes it easier to ensure a hard-hitting job closes the chain for maximum potential damage.For example, hitting a targeting resonating with the Fusion attribute, with a Weapon Skill possessing the Fragmentation attribute, will produce a Light Skillchain, which is aligned to the elements [[Light]], [[Fire]], [[Lightning]] and [[Wind]].
| width="40%" valign="top" align="left" |

|}
===Linked Skillchains===
A Skillchain in its simplest form comprises of two Weapon Skills performed one after the other to generate the required Skillchain. The first Weapon Skill causes the target to resonate with the attributes of the Weapon Skill. The second Weapon Skill's attributes interact with the ones resonating on the target to produce the Skillchain.Beyond this basic concept, the idea of Weapon Skill attributes can be applied to the Skillchain itself. Each Skillchain causes the target to resonate with the same attributes as the Skillchain. This means that a '''third''' Weapon Skill can follow the initial two, acting on the Skillchain they produced.For example, a [[Monk]] can use [[Spinning Attack]] to make the target resonate with Liquefaction and Impaction. A second Monk follows this attack with Howling Fist, creating a Fusion Skillchain. A [[Dark Knight]] then continues this by using [[Spinning Slash]] to create a  Light Skillchain.Linking Skillchains increases their potential damage. The damage potential is based off the closing Weapon Skill. Damage increases with the number of Skillchains performed in succession as follows:
{| |
|-
! rowspan="2" |Skillchain Level
! colspan="5" |Maximum Damage Potential
|-
!2 Skills||3 Skills||4 Skills||5 Skills||6 Skills
|-
|Level 1
|50%
|60%
|70%
|80%
|90%
|-
|Level 2
|60%
|75%
|100%
|125%
|150%
|-
|Level 3
|100%
|150%
|175%
|200%
|225%
|-
|}All Weapon Skill Attributes can be used to create a Skillchain '''except''' Level 3 attributes from a [[Relic Weapons]] Weapon Skill (e.g. [[Scourge]]). These powerful Weapon Skills may be used to create a Level 3 Skillchain by immediately following a Level 3 Weapon Skill attribute (either from a Lv.2 created Skillchain or another Relic Weapon), however no further Skillchain may be created from the subsequent Skillchain.No more than 5 Skillchains can be created in succession under any circumstances. (This would require 6 total Weapon Skills in a row).
==List of Weapon Skills and Abilities With Weapon Skill Attributes==
''You can find this same information in a different layout on the [[Weapon Skill Elemental Attributes]] page.''You will notice that many weapon skills have 2 or more attributes associated with them. The attributes are listed by priority using "A," "B," or "C" notation, where "A" is the highest and "C" is the lowest. If a situation arises where a Skillchain can be formed using both "A" and "B" attributes, a Skillchain will be formed using the "A" attribute. The attribute with highest priority is always chosen when multiple Skillchain possibilities are presented. If "C" is not listed on the table that means there is no "C" attribute.
;Blood Pacts:The level listed for the [[Blood Pacts]] is not the same as the levels for Weapon Skills. It is the level that the Summoner job needs to be in order to use the Blood Pact. So if the level listed is 21, that means the summoner needs to be level 21 in order to use that ability.

; Blue Magic:In order to make a Skillchain using Blue Magic, the [[Chain Affinity]] ability must be used.

;Automatons:The Weapon Skills an automaton can use is dependent on the frame it is using. An automaton equipped with the [[Harlequin Frame]] or the [[Stormwaker Frame]] can only use [[Slapstick]], [[Knockout]] and [[Magic Mortar]]. An automaton equipped with the [[Valoredge Frame]] can only use [[Chimera Ripper]], [[String Clipper]], [[Cannibal Blade]] and [[Bone Crusher]]. An automaton equipped with the [[Sharpshot Frame]] can only use [[Arcuballista]], [[Daze]] and [[Armor Piercer]].<center>[[Skillchain#Axe|Axe]] | [[Skillchain#G. Axe|G.

==Using a Skillchain Chart==
[[Image:AdenRenkeiChart.jpg|thumb|Aden's Renkei Chart|link=http://ffxiclopedia.fandom.com/wiki/File:AdenRenkeiChart.jpg]]With the exception of Level 3 Skillchains, there is no obvious pattern to the network of attributes that are "compatible" and form Level 1 or Level 2 Skillchains. When presented with a party using various weapons, it is often easiest to examine a Skillchain Chart to determine which Skillchains are available to use.A Skillchain Chart presents Skillchains as a map of which Weapon Skills lead to which effect. By examining the available Weapon Skills and plotting a route across the map, Skillchains can be easily created and linked together.Say there are two, one-handed sword wielders, and they both have [[Fast Blade]] and [[Burning Blade]]. Now find the [[Weapon Skill]] on the Skillchain Chart. Burning Blade is in the [[Fire]] section; and Fast Blade is in the Earth section. There is one arrow connecting them. Notice that the arrow is double ended. This means that you can start in the Earth section and go to the Fire section, or you may start in the Fire section and go to the Earth section. Both ways will result in a Skillchain. If you start in Fire section and go to Earth you get an Earth [[Scission]] Skillchain. Going the other way (Earth first followed by Fire) you get a Fire [[Liquefaction]] Skillchain.You will notice that many weapon skills have 2 or more attributes associated with them. The attributes are listed by priority using "A," "B," or "C" notation, where "A" is the highest and "C" is the lowest. If a situation arises where a Skillchain can be formed using both "A" and "B" attributes, a Skillchain will be formed using the "A" attribute. The attribute with highest priority is always chosen when multiple Skillchain possibilities are presented.
