|---|---|
| 1–6 | Repeat Krue's three-bandit quest at spawn. |
| 7 | Take Krue's Mini Boss Zuko quest. |
| 13 | Move to Tom's bear hunt. |
| 18 | Tom's Mother Bear. |
| 25 | Start a Breathing trainer questline, or keep grinding if you are going Demon first. |
| 26 | Chaka → Kaiden's subordinates. |
| 34 | Kaiden himself, then push to 40. |
| 40 | Wagwan under the waterfall. Hoyuzo's Guards until ~60. |
| 45+ | Final Selection opens. Solo players should wait near 60. |
Spend skill points on the problem in front of you
Body, Weapons, Clan, and Breathing are separate from your character level. Mastery only moves when you use the kit. The first nodes that actually matter are movement: Wall Climb and Double Jump. Everything else is a response to how you are currently dying.
- Cannot reach a trainer — buy Wall Climb before another damage node.
- Dying mid-combo — HP and block branches.
- Running out of swing — stamina, then stop mashing.
Clan now, optimize later
Keep Kamado, Rengoku, Uzui, Soyama, Iguro, or Himejima if they land. Pair Rengoku with Flame, Urokodaki or Sabito with Water, Iguro with Serpent. Ubuyashiki is a grind clan, not a damage clan. Do not burn every launch spin chasing a surname you have not played yet.
