As your characters gain experience points (EXP) from battles, they will level up, increasing their base stats like HP, Attack, and Defense. Beyond simple level-ups, equipment plays a significant role in character progression. Each piece of equipment (weapons, armor, accessories) comes with various skills. By equipping an item and fighting battles, you can 'master' these skills, permanently adding them to your character's repertoire even after unequipping the item. This system encourages experimentation with different gear. Additionally, each character has a unique 'Break Soul' ability, a powerful move that consumes one Soul but can turn the tide of battle. Understanding each character's Break Soul and when to use it is vital for advanced combat strategies. check the 'Skills' menu regularly to see which skills you've mastered and which ones you're still working on.
