Character XP, weapon growth and food upgrades

Character and weapon progress

Enemies supply experience for character levels. Weapon use develops individual equipment. A character level and a weapon level are therefore not interchangeable milestones: fighting with only a favorite weapon does not automatically develop the rest of the arsenal.

Food and mobility

Food improves character statistics, while additional Wind Gems increase available air-dash charges. If an obstacle is a distant ledge, grinding damage is not a replacement for the missing charge. For a dangerous opponent, check damage type and the power meter before spending time on another level.

A practical upgrade check

Before repeating encounters, identify the problem: damage, survivability, movement or an unfinished collection. Select the progression system that changes it. Save after obtaining an important upgrade. There is no verified universal maximum-level or optimal experience-per-minute table in the available evidence, so this guide does not invent one.
