Beast of Reincarnation Respec: How to Reset Your Skills?

In brief

Beast of Reincarnation lets you reset your skills and attributes via Mikoto, a character unlocked at the end of chapter 2. This respec mechanic lets you adapt your build to each boss in exchange for Amber, with the ability to change as often as you like.

You keep unlocking new skills in Beast of Reincarnation, and you won't necessarily want to use them all permanently - especially to exploit a specific boss's weakness. That's where skill and attribute reset (respec) comes in, letting you rework your build on the fly. You still need to unlock it though: here's how.

Unlocking the reset

This option only becomes available towards the end of chapter 2, when you meet a mysterious man named Mikoto. He kindly offers to help you reset and change your skills: all you'll need to do is call him whenever you need to.

How to reset your attributes

Once you've met Mikoto, you can reach him from the Cleanse Walker's phone. When you call, two options are available: "Talk" or "Reset attributes". Choose the second option, then indicate whether you want to reset Emma's attributes or Koo's, in exchange for a bit of Amber.

The operation gives you back almost all of your attribute points and skill points, and entirely resets the lower half of your skill tree. You can then freely reallocate your stats and points, aboard the Cleanse Walker or at a Camp.

What isn't reset

Note: only your stats and the "roots" of your skill tree are reset. Points invested in Nushi Skills - the "branches" of the tree, which unlock Emma's Blade Arts and Koo's Bloom Arts - are not reset.

Reset as many times as you want

To do it again, simply call Mikoto again from the Cleanse Walker and repeat the process. You can reset as often as you like, as long as you have the necessary Amber - handy for testing your favorite Nushi Skills or for countering a specific boss.

Our advice

The most effective approach is to focus on one or two sets of Blade Arts at a time. Without that, with the multitude of combos to keep track of, the Blade Arts you actually trigger in the middle of a tough fight end up coming out somewhat at random. By focusing on one or two relevant series - for example the Sakura skills for the fight against Lacerta - you make things noticeably easier for yourself. The only downside is that it can get a bit costly in Amber.
