How to Enhance Characters
Leveling Up
You can increase a character's stats by leveling them up. Since the benefits of enhancement are significant, prioritize leveling up the characters you actively use to their maximum level first.
How to Obtain Reinforcement Materials?
The main way to obtain reinforcement materials, including level-up items, is through "Training." The higher the difficulty, the greater the rewards, so it's recommended to farm the highest difficulty you can consistently clear.
Level Limit Break
Performing a Cap Break or Limit Break allows a character to exceed their current level cap. Each Cap Break also boosts their stats, and at levels 40, 60, and 80, new Passive Skills will be unlocked.
Special Ops Rank is Required for Each Level Tier
High-level Limit Breaks require a certain Special-Ops Rank as a prerequisite. If you can no longer perform a Level Limit Break, increase your Player rank and take on the Promotion Exam.
Skill Leveling
Enhancing a character's skills increases the power of their attacks and the effectiveness of their buffs. Fully reinforced skills can be nearly twice as effective, making skill enhancement the next recommended step after leveling up.
5 Types of Skills Can Be Enhanced
There are five types of character skills that can be enhanced. Since leveling up all of them requires many materials, prioritize enhancing Passive Skills and Combat Skills, as they provide the greatest benefits.
| Skill | Recommended Enhancement Priority |
|---|---|
| Passive Skill | ★★★★★ |
| Combat Skill | ★★★★・ |
| Ultimate | ★★★・・ |
| Normal Attack | ★★・・・ |
| Follow-Up Skill | ★・・・・ |
Ascension
Ascension in Kaiju No. 8 refers to the character Ascension system. Advancing Ascension lets you unlock new abilities and perform Skill Enhancements. You can progress Ascension by obtaining multiple copies of the same character.
| Tips! | Ascension doesn't require any additional materials, so you can safely ascend a character as soon as you obtain a duplicate. |

How to Enhance Weapons
Leveling Up
Like characters, weapons can be leveled up using enhancement materials. While the benefits aren't as significant as with characters, leveling up weapons still boosts their stats.
Level Limit Break
Like characters, weapons require a Cap Break at certain level intervals. High-level Cap Breaks also require a specific Special Ops Rank.
Ascension
Using duplicate weapons allows you to ascend them and enhance their skills. However, unlike characters, you can equip multiple weapons of the same type in your squad, so consider carefully before ascending. As a general rule, weapon of lower quality can be Ascended safely.
No Weapon Skill Enhancement
Unlike characters, weapons cannot directly undergo Skill Enhancement. To improve a weapon's skill performance, you must do so through Ascension.
Uniparts Farming
Equipment to Enhance Characters
Uniparts are equipment that enhance characters, and there are three types: arms, body, and legs. Equipping a complete set activates a set effect, which becomes stronger as the parts' star rating increases.
Individual Parts Also Have Random Stats
In addition to set effects, each Unit Part also provides individual stats. These stats are randomly assigned, so you can farm and develop parts repeatedly to obtain the desired stats.
Uniparts Cannot Be Reused
Uniparts are tied to specific characters, and once equipped, they cannot be removed. Any unequipped parts from new developments will be discarded, so they cannot be reused on other characters.
