I'm curious as to what exactly determines how much xp a PA gets, and specifically for techs. Is it just usage, or should I try to use it in specific circumstances?

Use = 1-2%. And it seems to be every other use - I've looked into this myself out of curiosity. Daggers will level up the fastest because of good PA cost/PA regen ratio. (almost 1:1)

so it just seems to be usage... meh, no relation to hits?

When I use Tornado Break (sword AoE PA) it gains way more exp if I can get it to hit three different enemies/part of an enemy at once.. so Id say atleast for melee PAs, that damage is counted in for aswell.

On TECHNICs it's based off the amount of enemies hit, the damage done and the difficulty of the mission. (A,B and C.)

And of course, the higher the level, the longer it takes to gain exp.

it seems that bullets take three times as long to level as skills, geta kinda annoying when you're trying to level them...

So is it better to nuke everything in Linear Line C rank or to spam it out in De Ragan A?

i think it's just that you're hitting multiple targets, damage doesn't count

i cant prove this, but i think its all based on damage done. although it could be targets hit.

PAs level by number of unique target points you hit per use, and not the number of hits you land in general, as PA experience is calculated by what you hit. For example, if you level a PA like Gravity dance, you get more exp out of it if you can hit, say for the sake of example, 4 different monsters once, as opposed to 1 monster 4 times.

Lyrise is correct. It is based on target points.
