Researched by Kanon. Organized and formatted by CoGM.
The findings are his, out of his progression doc, updated September 20, 2026. He did not write these pages and does not maintain them. We split the doc into sections, laid it out and added the headings, and we have not retested any of it. About 1,000 hours on KR, mostly Brawler, under 900,000 combat power. Global numbers can move. Find him on Twitch and YouTube.
Three kinds of skills: active, passive, and stigma. Actives and stigmas open specialty perks at set levels. Passives do not. This page is the level system. Class builds are still unwritten, which is why classes has no damage order.
Active skills
Wisdom Stones level an active to 10. You get stones from leveling, from turning in feathers, and from the Nightmare and Shugo Festival shops. Past 10, levels come from ring stat lines, Daevanion tiles, and arcana. Rings are the gear slot that rolls active skills.
You pick up to three specialty perks and equip them in slots that open late.
| Active level | What opens |
|---|---|
| 8 | First three perk choices, and one slot |
| 12 | Fourth perk, and a second slot |
| 16 | The last perk |
| 20 | The third slot |
On KR at the start of chapter 1 he wants two to five actives at level 20 by the endgame. Global ships fewer arcana cards, so those extra levels come slower. Lock two skills early instead of spreading stones. Two KR examples: Gladiator Overhead Slam and Templar Judgment were each more than 60% of that class's damage. Level the skill the class lives on before the rest.
Passive skills
Same upgrade path as actives, and no specialty perks. After the main actives are 20, he moves stones onto the key passives. On current KR, endgame players push some passives into the 25 to 30 range. He has not named which passive is the key one per class.
Stigma skills
Stigmas are the long-cooldown skills. Five perks, and on KR you can equip up to six. He flags that the equip count might be lower on global. Unlike actives, every perk you have unlocked is on. You are not choosing a subset.
Stigma Shards level them to 20, which is the last perk. After the chapter 1 level 50 update, levels 21 to 25 take golden Superior Stigma Shards. Shards come from combining Unstable Stigma Shards out of PvE, or straight from Abyss Points. Abyss Points come from Supply Request, Daily Duties, Weekly Commands, and from farming players or mobs in the Abyss.
Superior shards drop while you level from 45 to 50. You also get one Superior shard for every stigma you take to 20. Finished, that math is three skills at 25, one at 23, and the rest at 20.
Leveled stigmas are a large part of the power, mostly as buffs that also raise passives. Supports get excluded from groups over missing stigma levels. The two he names are Undefeated Mantra and Light of Protection. He does not assign those names to a class on the page.
