Drive Ability - Overview & How to Level
Level Up with Ability Shards

Each ability in the Drive Ability is unlocked with Ability Shards. The abilities are divided into tiers and belong in specific skill trees. Unlock next tier abilities by reaching the required level of the prior one.

Advance Tiers of Each Skill Tree

The level requirements for each tier depend on its skill tree and players must meet the requirements of the previous tier first to unlock the next. It's possible to advance all skill trees evenly or to specialize in a single one.
Proceed to the Next Stage

Rather than maxing out each ability, it's best to move to the next level as soon as you are able to unlock it. By prioritizing going down the skill tree, you can improve various stats in a balanced way.
| Note | If there are specific stats you want to prioritize, it is also an option to max out one tree first. |
|---|
Use Preset for Different Builds

Drive Ability has 10 presets that you can use freely to create builds and switch between them. Use this to tackle different types of content.
Reset Skill Tree When Needed

Reset your presets and builds at any time with no additional costs. Press the reset button to refund all points used. Do note that this resets the whole tree, not individual abilities.
