We’ve decided to significantly expand how the Protagonist’s skill-learning system works.
The most important change is that you’ll now be able to learn many more skills! When a demon learns all of its skills, the Protagonist can learn 1 skill from that demon.
However, when a player raises their Bond with a particular demon to Level 10, they’ll be able to choose not just one, but all the skills they want from that demon at once!
And since players now have such a wide range of options for learning skills, we’ve also decided to add the Skill Potential mechanic from SMT 4 and 5 and combine them.
In other words, each demon will have its own Skill Potential level for a specific attribute (fire, ice, lightning, and so on). This level, just like in SMT 5, will affect the damage, healing, and cost of skills for that particular attribute.
For the Protagonist, however, things are a little different. The player will need to level up the Skill Potential not for the entire attribute, but for a specific skill. In other words, if you already have the Zio skill and learn it again from a demon, you’ll have Zio+1, and so on.
The mechanic is essentially ready and is currently being actively tested!
