In ''Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS'', Skills are special effects that each player can use only once per [[Duel]]. They may possess a number of effects, like improving a [[Draw a card|draw]], increasing one's [[LP]] or enhancing a [[Monster Card|monster's]] [[ATK]].<ref name="ep2">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS|2|ref}}</ref> They can be used during either player's [[turn]].<ref name="ep4">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS|4|ref}}</ref> Skills appear to be procedurally generated, though rather than being generated randomly like they would be in real-world video games, they appear to be generated to fit a Duelist's Deck and/or Dueling style. As seen with [[Yusaku Fujiki|Playmaker]] and [[Varis]], Skills are not necessarily unique to their users, and multiple Duelists can share a given Skill. As seen with [[George Gore|the Gore]] and [[Skye Zaizen]] a Duelist may utilize different Skills between different Decks.
If two or more Duelists combine their LINK VRAINS avatars into one and play a Duel as that combined avatar, their avatar will have access to each of those players' Skills during that Duel and can use each Skill once. This technically enables a single Duelist within that Duel to use multiple Skills, beyond the normal "once per Duel" limit. (This is because the game considers each player to be using their own individual Skill once per Duel.) For example, [[Bit]] and [[Boot]] were able to use Marker's Portal twice during their Duel with [[Theodore Hamilton|Soulburner]], since their avatars were combined into BitBoot.<ref name="ep49">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS|49|ref}}</ref>
Skills can be hacked to do previously unheard-of abilities, such as the Double Draw Skill used by [[Number 10 (character)|Number 10]].
