Leveling alone does not unlock every skill. Check the knowledge requirement, shared skill points and learning time. Swordmastery and Witchcraft use manuals; deeper Vampirism requires corruption. Match the ability to your day or night form before committing.
The publisher separates three requirements: progression knowledge, skill points and learning time. One XP bar and one point type serve all trees. Swordmastery works by day and night; Witchcraft is daytime, and Vampirism is nighttime. Rebel Wolves / Bandai Namco: Skills & Power.
When an ability is unavailable, inspect that ability rather than treating every grey icon as the same problem. Use the following order before spending more points.
| Tree | Where to investigate | Additional check |
|---|---|---|
| Swordmastery | Manuals associated with soldiers or bandits; some fencers sell them | Selected skill’s points and time |
| Witchcraft | Ancient ruins, haunted places and magic practitioners’ wares | Selected spell’s knowledge requirement |
| Vampirism | Deeper corruption opens stronger options | Nighttime use and displayed costs |
These categories follow Rebel Wolves / Bandai Namco: Skills & Power. This page is not an all-manual checklist. It does not supply unverified vendor names, chest coordinates, fixed prices or a reset procedure.
This is our diagnostic order, not a tested button sequence. The character and skill-tree overview explains Coen’s authored role and illustrates the trees.
Learning takes story time. Exploration alone does not automatically consume the story clock, whereas certain quest actions do. Rebel Wolves / Bandai Namco: Skills & Power; Bandai Namco: Time and combat explained.
Before committing, write down the learning cost shown by your client, your remaining budget and the next quest action you care about. Comparing those three values is more useful than assuming every available upgrade is urgent. There is no fixed skill-cost table in the evidence cited here.
For clock prompts and planning, open the story-time explanation; for your first session, use the beginner route. If you are choosing between sword, magic and vampire combat, continue to the day/night combat comparison.
Publisher Swordmastery diagram, not a manual-location map. The example shows an Anytime label; inspect your current client for the selected skill’s costs.
Read Skills & Power ↗Check the knowledge requirement and learning time as well as points. Sword and magic skills can require manuals; more powerful vampire abilities require corruption. Read the selected ability before assuming another level will unlock it.
The official bulletin directs Swordmastery learners to soldiers, bandits and fencers, and Witchcraft learners to ancient ruins, haunted places and magic practitioners. These are source categories, not an exhaustive map or guaranteed chest locations.
Yes. The publisher explicitly answers this player question: the XP bar and point type are shared between the skill trees. Whether the learned ability can be used depends on its form and other requirements.
You play Coen, the story’s named protagonist, and shape his fighting style through Swordmastery, Witchcraft and Vampirism. The cited official sources confirm skill customization; they do not establish a freeform face or gender creator. Character identity, cosmetic editing and skill builds are separate questions.

IGN’s review describes a roughly 40-hour playthrough. That is one reviewer’s experience, not a completionist average. The game’s 30 days and 30 nights are a story resource spent on actions, not a limit of 30 real days or 30 hours.

Start by choosing a comfortable combat approach, checking the cost of quest actions and planning skills for Coen’s day or night form. Exploration does not automatically spend story time; quest actions and learning have their own costs. This is a spoiler-light starting route, not an optimal build or a full walkthrough.
