Quick Answer

Quick answer: Soul's Remnant is a classless free-to-play 2D MMORPG in Early Access — follow the verified steps below for this topic.

Overview

Skills are the core of Soul's Remnant: there is no class screen, and everything lives in the Skills Window, opened with K. Any character can learn any skill from the melee, range, magic and faith lines, and each skill levels on its own through use.

Two confirmed unlock levels stand out: Blink unlocks at magic level 10 (players call it a must-have movement skill), and Shield Slam unlocks at melee level 15.

How skills grow

  1. Step labelEvery combat skill has its own EXP bar and levels by use — a neglected skill stays weak.
  2. Step labelUpgrades cost essences, Soul Crystals, souls and other items; higher levels also need Dungeon Crystals.
  3. Step labelYou gain 2 skill points every 4 levels and 3 every 12; activating a combat skill costs 1–3 points, then one point per extra level up to learned level 20.
  4. Step labelSkill EXP for any combat skill also feeds its category passive, which auto-levels to 99 and grants perks every 3 levels.
  5. Step labelBuffs are powerful multiplicative boosts that cost zero skill points — you can run two at a time, with a third slot unlocking at level 60.

Macros and loadouts

Once your hotbar fills up, the macro system chains up to six skills to one button — open the Skills Window, click Macros, drag skills in, and drop the macro onto your hotbar. Loadouts save your equipment, active skills and macro setup together (swapping costs Soul Crystals), so you can switch between a grind build and a dungeon build quickly.

Priority: push magic to level 10 for Blink early — the teleport dash changes how you move between farming spots.
