This is a list of auto-abilities in Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII. Auto-abilities automatically take effect once garbs, weapons, shields, or accessories are equipped to Lightning. Command abilities can also gain auto-abilities, indicated by the yellow-colored text in the menu. Auto-abilities have a chance to appear on command abilities after fusing two abilities together. During battle, auto-abilities of the current Schema either activate automatically, or activate when specific conditions are met, such as switching schemas.
