Skills must be purchased in succession, so you cannot buy a Lv 3 skill, until you've a Lv 1 and 2 skills for the respective technique.


Note: You can only have a total of 3 skills at the start, but you're free to discard skills for newer ones. It costs 10 XP to forget a skill.

Limit Break is a special ability. Explanation: Whenever someone gets a Limit Break, I'll explain it.

How to build particular archetypes.


Tank: I recommend Physique and Vitality.


Damage: I recommend Perception and Strength, because you can attack multiple times. They act as DPS, since their actions refresh.


Mage: I recommend magic and mana recovery. With those two stats, your character will be bursting a huge amount of damage. However, they'll be weaker than most, when their mana runs out.
