Heavyweight Fishing Skills: All 37 and Where to Get Them
Skills are what turn a fishing game into a boss fight. The stat that matters most is not damage — it
is whether a skill grants immunity to boss skills, because that is what ends runs
against Enzo. Six skills on this page have it. Each skill also holds exactly one
trait, and each belongs to a line that one orb scales.
Skill lines
Every orb boosts one line only, so the orb list is also the cleanest published list of skill
categories: Execution, Sage Yijiu, Maoshan,
Cloud Ascension, Taoist / Apex Eagle Hunt,
Xian Gate Dao and Bac Minh. Cloud Ascension is the line most often
asked about: Heavenbound Infinity belongs to it, the Cloud Ascension Orb rolls up to +120% damage for
it, and the quest-only Diamond Rod adds a further +50% damage to it.
