QUICK ANSWER · SKILLS

Take survival and consistency tools first, then specialise when your weapon and quest route are clear. Do not assume a skill reset or a time cost exists unless the current in-game UI explicitly shows it.

All skills and early priorities

Early skillsFavour healing, defense, stamina or recovery that helps every encounter.

Vampire skillsUse night mobility and sustain where the route actually supports night play.

Build skillsSpecialise only after choosing weapon style and gear route.

ResetsVerify the live UI before relying on a respec plan.

Skills, resets and time

Skill progression and the 30-day system are related only when a current action proves it spends time. Use the time-system guide for confirmed time checkpoints and best builds for practical ranking advice.
