The users perceive and understand combat like no other and learn and master virtually any combat skill and forms of combat with outstanding ease. Their ever-growing understanding of the workings of combat soon allows them to extensively modify any skill available to them, drastically increasing their potency and efficiency, merge them into even more powerful ones, and even create their own arsenal of combat trump cards, while intuiting effective countermeasures to any skills, situations and enemies they come in contact with.
