11 Skill Points (SP) are the persistent upgrade currency in Beast of Reincarnation. They are spent between encounters inside the Skill Trees to unlock new nodes and upgrade existing ones for both Emma and Koo, and they are distinct from the in-combat resources that drive moment-to-moment play.

33 What SP Does
44  
5- 
65 Where Fuel Points and the Entanglement Gauge govern the rhythm of a single fight, Skill Points govern the long-term shape of the build. Spending SP into the close-range tree improves katana proficiency and parry effectiveness; spending into long-range improves bow and crossbow play; spending into Koo-side trees expands the Blooming Arts menu and improves the FP economy.

98 How SP Is Earned

1110 Defeating enemies. Ordinary combat encounters drip-feed SP, with larger payouts from harder enemies and Nushi-class bosses.Story progression. Pre-release framing describes SP rewards tied to major story beats and Nushi clears, so even players who avoid all optional combat will accrue SP over the campaign.Exploration. Off-path zones surface SP rewards alongside Charms and katanas; thorough exploration meaningfully accelerates build progress.

1312 How SP Is Spent
1413  
15- 
1614 SP is spent at skill-tree menus accessed between encounters. Both Emma and Koo share the same SP pool but have their own trees, so the player decides how much SP to push into the sword side of the duo versus the dog side. Pre-release material describes the trees as branching along combat-style lines (close-range katana, long-range bow and crossbow, plant-ability depth for Koo) rather than a single linear ladder, which means SP investment carries opportunity cost: every point spent on one branch is a point not spent on another.

23- 
2421 Skill Points do not exist in isolation. A node that improves parry damage compounds with the player's Spirit Stones slate; a node that expands Koo's Blooming Arts amplifies whatever Charms are currently equipped. Pre-release coverage frames the SP layer as the durable backbone of the build, with Spirit Stones, Charms, and Blooming Arts mods sitting on top as the swappable layers.

2623 Notes on Pre-Release Coverage
2724  
2825 Specific SP costs per node, the exact size of each tree, and the full list of node names have not been published in detail. What has been shown is the overall design: a single shared currency, separate trees for Emma and Koo, and a branching structure that forces the player to commit to a combat style rather than unlocking everything by the end of the game.
