Demo Planning — What to Test First
The demo's official limits shape what you can realistically evaluate before the full game launches:
- Choosing which weapons to test: All six weapon types are available. Because Weapon Proficiency is capped at level 3 per type, you cannot fully unlock any weapon's Sword Skill tree in the demo. Use the demo to get a feel for each weapon's basic attack rhythm, then focus remaining demo time on the type you find most comfortable.
- Understanding Growth Points and EX-MODs: Use the demo to learn where Growth Points and Sword Skills appear in the interface. Do not treat the demo as a confirmed stat-mapping source — the demo's level cap limits how many Growth Points you receive, and the Weapon Proficiency cap limits how many Sword Skills unlock.
- Map discovery: Quest and dungeon maps are revealed through exploration; checkpoints reveal surrounding areas and mark points of interest. Use the demo to see how the map-reveal mechanic feels before the full game's larger floors.
Choose what to verify next
Use the overview page when your question is about availability, official limits, or continuing on the same platform.
The weapons pages explain the confirmed progression mechanics without ranking weapon types.
Use the build overview to separate stat progression from weapon customisation.
Mission names, objectives, boss encounters, and walkthrough steps remain outside this page’s evidence scope.
