Haki

Haki is a secondary power level that goes in parallel with Doriki, unlocking different Haki abilities, allowing for more damage, armor and/or hitting logias.

Haki abilities are split across 4 major categories

• Hardening, which affects the player's body, either by dealing more damage, or providing better defences
• Imbuing, which affects the player's items, like coating weapons with it to deal more damage or not take durability damage
• Observation, which allows to user to see living beings using their aura, or even avoid attacks by predicting the future
• Haoshoku, which is a special category for Haoshoku Haki and Haoshoku Haki: Infusion only

All haki abilities evolve over time based on how much experience each category has and how much doriki the user has, the effects vary from more damage, longer usage time or more range.

Haki abilities will affect other abilities with slight damage increase, bypassing logia invulnerability or other buffs. To make it easier to see which ability gets affected by what icons got added on an ability's tooltip to denote what Haki type affects it.

The icons and how they affect abilities got moved here.

Haki Levels

• Beginner
• Initiate
• Adept
• Proficient
• Master

The basic haki abilities (Hardening, Imbuing and Aura) are obtained by the time the player gets to the Initiate level. Players can view these levels at trainers from around the world, each trainer being specialized in a type of haki based on their fighting style's potency.

You can view your current haki level by talking with trainers.

Learning Haki

Each category has its own learning method and difficulty curve.

• Hardening can be trained by killing enemies
• Observation can be trained by getting hit
• Haoshoku cannot be trained directly but its the sum of all the other types, higher the other categories closer you are towards unlocking the Haoshoku line

Hardening and Imbuing share the same haki experience pool named "Hardening".

The amount of experience you obtain will decrease based on how strong the enemy is and how much experience you already have.

After a certain threshold you will need to actively use the abilities in order for experience to be gained, such as using Hardening or Imbuing in order to gain Hardening experience.
