Characters advance in strength and ability through combat experience. The more enemies a character defeats, the more experience points (XP) they gain. The stronger the defeated enemy, the more XP the character receives. XP contributes to the character's individual collection of Advancement Points.
Note: Leveling-Up does not improve combat ability. Players must then use points.
Level-Up System
When the character receives enough XP, they level up and gain at least one advancement point. Advancement points can then be allocated to certain skills, depending on which area of the character's combat ability the player wishes to improve. Character advancements can be made at any time (outside of combat) by visiting the Advancements page in the pause menu.
Advancement points can be allocated to the following:
The character's base amount of Health Points (HP)
The character's base amount of Skill Points (SP)
The character's Essence
The character's Power
and can later be used to learn new combat spells or skills. For a character to learn a new skill, they must already have a particular amount of SP and Level to reach the skill's prerequisite.
