## Key points

- Polygon lists seven best early skills in Beast of Reincarnation for Emma and Koo.
- Skill points are shared but locked behind levelled-up attribute branches.
- Recovery Effect Boost and Roll highlighted as key early survival tools.

## Summary

Polygon has published a guide setting out the best skills to unlock early in the action role-playing game Beast of Reincarnation, aimed at helping players survive its opening areas and early boss fights without excessive difficulty. Progression in the game revolves around a shared pool of skill points, earned by defeating enemies and spent across the skill trees of its two playable characters, Emma and Koo, but nodes can only be unlocked once the relevant attribute-based branch has first been levelled up using separately earned attribute points.

The guide recommends prioritising seven skills before players face tougher challenges such as the game's first Nushi boss. For Emma, these include Recovery Effect Boost, which increases healing from potions and Koo's support abilities and offers greater room for error mid-fight; Roll, an emergency dodge performed by double-tapping the dodge button to escape unblockable "red light" attacks that cannot be parried; Helm Splitter; and Enhance Bow. For Koo, the recommended early picks are Mod: Status Effect Amp, Detect Hidden Item, and Healing Bouquet, a restorative support skill. Polygon suggests players experiment more freely with alternative builds once they unlock the game's respec system later on.
