Tactical Breach Wizards Perk Guide
Understanding the perk system is key to building powerful characters. This guide explains how perk points work, how to earn XP, and which upgrades to prioritize for each character.
How Perk Points Work
Earning XP: Complete missions and achieve Confidence Goals to earn experience points. Each character levels up independently.
Spending Points: Between missions, spend perk points to unlock ability upgrades. Each ability has 2-3 possible upgrades.
Innate Upgrades: Complete a character's Anxiety Dream sequence to unlock their innate upgrade — a permanent passive buff.
Respec: You can replay old missions to earn more XP, effectively letting you unlock everything eventually.
How to Get XP Fast
- ▸ Complete all Confidence Goals in each mission for bonus XP
- ▸ Seal doors and gather intel for additional rewards
- ▸ Replay earlier missions on higher difficulty
- ▸ Complete the Dreams sequences for innate upgrades
