Ability Training is one of Soul’s RPG progression systems. It holds 32 abilities in total and covers most of what he can do in combat. The grid is three large rows and two small rows: each large row holds 8 abilities, each small row holds 4. Every row runs left to right with no branching. Soul can reset his Ability Training at any time, and the resources spent come back in full.
The training structure
| Row | Abilities | Unlocks with | Costs |
|---|---|---|---|
| First large row | 8 | Sha-Chi Amber | mind dust |
| Second large row | 8 | a complete Memory Flower | mind dust |
| Third large row | 8 | Blackstone | mind dust |
| First small row | 4 | some of the large rows first | Banyan Heart + mind dust |
| Second small row | 4 | some of the large rows first | Banyan Heart + mind dust |
Note: you need at least 8 of each of the three collectibles, and at least 8 Banyan Hearts.
