Skill points shared between Emma and Koo shape early build choices
Developing story first seen 3 hours ago
Polygon has published a guide recommending the best early skills to unlock in Beast of Reincarnation, aimed at helping players get through the game's opening areas without excessive difficulty. Skill points are earned by defeating enemies and shared between the two playable characters, Emma and Koo, but nodes can only be unlocked once the relevant attribute-based branch has been levelled up, meaning careful early choices matter before tougher fights such as the first Nushi boss.
– Recovery Effect Boost (Emma) — boosts healing from potions and Koo's support skills, giving more margin for error
– Roll (Emma) — an emergency dodge, performed by pressing the dodge button twice, used to escape unblockable red-light attacks that parry cannot counter
– Helm Splitter (Emma)
– Enhance Bow (Emma)
– Mod: Status Effect Amp (Koo)
– Detect Hidden Item (Koo)
– Healing Bouquet (Koo) — restores health to support the party alongside Emma's own recovery items
- Guide lists best early skills for Emma and Koo in Beast of Reincarnation
- Recovery Effect Boost and Roll highlighted as key survival tools
- Skill points are shared and gated by character attribute levels

Beast of Reincarnation is an action role-playing game in which players control two characters, Emma and Koo, working together through its early stages. As they defeat enemies, the pair earns skill points that can be spent on a shared pool of abilities, though each skill only becomes available once its related attribute branch has been developed enough.
Because points are limited and shared between both characters, players need to weigh up which skills to prioritise early on, as poor choices can leave them underprepared for tougher encounters later in the game, including its first major boss fight. Outlets covering the game, including Polygon, have been offering guidance on which early skills tend to be most useful for getting through this opening stretch.
