Unique Skills are essentially the most powerful tool in your arsenal in Hyrule Warriors Age of Imprisonment. Tied to the individual characters, the Unique Skills are abilities that can be used during battles, and can have a drastic effect in combat. However, before you can use the Unique Skills, you need to fill up the skill gauge. Thankfully, the skill gauge can be filled by using regular or strong attacks.
You can also use elemental chains to refill the skill gauge. Given the amount of damage the Unique Skills can dish out, they cannot be spammed during battles. More often than not, you can only use Unqiue Skills once per battle. As such, a lot of thinking goes into the timing of when you should be using your Unique Skills.
