Talents

All the different talents in the game.

Talents are the collection of a hero's abilities that the player has unlocked. The player can collect Soul Essence^? from enemies they kill to improve a hero's talent after a run is over.

Your level is equal to the number of talents you have. (e.g. A talent that is 1/1 gives you 1 level, a talent that is 2/5 gives you 2 levels, and a talent that is 5/5 gives you 5 levels. If you have a 1/1 and a 2/5 talent, you will have 3 levels.)

You can refund all talents, giving you Talent Essence equal to the amount of Soul Essence you've spent. Talent Essence can only be spent on talents, unlike Soul Essence which can also be spent on other things, preventing you from accidentally spending too much and being unable to re-purchase what you refunded.

Various talents are available, separated between six categories: Expedition, Battle, Skill, Survival, Weapon and Hero. Talents in the first five categories are shared across all heroes, while the Hero category contains talents specific to each hero.
