Can You Respec Skill Points?

Respec has not been verified from game data yet. Do not assume Skill Points can be reset.

Until a reset method is verified, plan the ranks you want before you spend.

Can You Get Every Skill in One Playthrough?

Points

Playthrough total is not fully verified, so this page cannot compare budget against tree cost.

Route access

Some skills still depend on prerequisites, manuals or progression even if points were enough.

How Much Does This Skill Really Cost?

Pick one target. Confirmed prerequisites are added automatically at the same ranks the Build Planner uses.

Skill Points vs Skill Manuals

Skill Point

Pays for a skill rank.

Manual

Unlocks or grants access to a specific skill. It is not recorded as a Skill Point reward.

Prerequisite

Controls progression through the tree. Buying those ranks costs extra points from zero.

What If You Spend Skill Points on the Wrong Skill?

Don't panic. First check how many verified sources remain, then calculate the prerequisite cost of the skills you still want.

Do Skill Points or Skills Consume Time?

Earning a point, unlocking a skill, buying a rank and finding a manual are different actions. This page does not treat them as one time cost.

  • Earning the point — not verified as a 30-day clock spend.
  • Unlocking the skill — manuals are access, not a confirmed time spend here.
  • Buying the rank — some ranks list a time cost in skill data. Whether that spends the 30-day clock is not verified here.
  • Finding the manual — acquisition time is not published as a Skill Point rule.

FAQ

How many Skill Points can you get?
A complete playthrough total is not fully verified yet. Confirmed sources are listed on this page; starting points and level-up grants are not published here until they are recovered.
Can you respec Skill Points?
Respec has not been verified from game data yet. Do not assume points can be reset.
Can you unlock every Skill in one playthrough?
Not determined. The playthrough point total is not fully verified, and some skills still depend on prerequisites, manuals or progression.
Do Skill Manuals give Skill Points?
No. Manuals unlock or grant access to a skill. They are not recorded as Skill Point rewards.
Do Skill prerequisites cost extra points?
If a prerequisite rank must be purchased, the cost from zero includes those ranks. That total is not the skill’s own rank cost.
Can I waste Skill Points?
That depends on remaining obtainable points and whether respec is later verified. Use the calculator or Build Planner for the real cost of a target skill.
