- The respective weapon lores of the weapons used for the Combat Art (for example, Sword Weapons) increase execution speed and indirectly add to chance to hit by increasing the weapon's attack value.
- Speed Lore will increase the chance to hit by boosting weapon attack value.

Archangel's Wrath, Magic Coup, and Spectral Hand are listed here but they function differently in some ways from the other weapon-based CA's. Therefore they can also be classified as Hybrid Combat Arts - see link below for more information.
Chance to block/reflect: Combat Arts doesn't protect from Weapon Damage Based Combat Arts; Chance to block/reflect: Projectiles and Chance to block/reflect: Close Combat protect. (depends on weapon used)
Successfully evading, blocking or reflecting a close or ranged Weapon Damage Based Combat Arts negates all detrimental effects and negative effects like stun/disarm/seriously wounds, that could have been caused by these CA.
