Character Skills and Passives unlock as you rank up. You learn Active Skills with Demo Tapes and Passive Talents with Report Cards. Here's how to unlock, learn, equip, and reset them.

How to Unlock Character Skills and Passives

  • Reach one of the Pathfinder Rank level gates: Lv. 25, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, or 60

Once you hit the gate, complete the Elite Training course it unlocks, then pass the Promotion Assessment to earn a new Character Title. Earning a Title immediately unlocks new Character Skills and Passives to learn.
