How to Upgrade Core Skill
Upgrade from Skills Screen
Core Skills are the skills marked from A to F in the skills screen. By tapping 'Skills' from the Agent list, you can see their skills as shown in the image above.
Start Upgrading from A to F
Core Skills must be upgraded in order starting from A, and the materials required will increase as you progress. The A slot can be unlocked with just Dennys, so upgrade that slot as soon as you can.
Activate Core Passive Skill
When you first release the A slot Core Skill, you activate the "Core Passive" skill. The Core Passive is an effect unique to the character and has a very powerful effect.
Corresponds with Character Level Cap
The level cap of the Core Skills that can be unlocked depends on the character's level. If you can't activate it, first raise your character's level to unlock the level cap.
How To Unlock Character Level CapExpert Challenge and Notorious Hunt
The materials required to upgrade Core Skills can be obtained from the Expert Challenge and Notorious Hunt. There are different types of materials, so be sure to check which one you need before completing the Challenge.
Complete Notorious Hunt 3 Times a Week
Notorious Hunt is a challenge that gives you rewards up to 3 times a week. Therefore, even if you don't have a particular character to upgrade, we recommend doing weekly Challenges and collecting materials for when you need them.
