Skills ,Math is your friend

OK, I wanted to talk for a few about the precious resources that are the rings, will(green), hope(blue), rage(red), life(white) and death(black). many of you already know that these are how you level up your abilities for your characters. what you may not know is just how many of each are required to get even a single skill to max level. Math Time: I have gathered up as much data as I could, and have gotten this as the requisites... for a 9 level skill(generally the first two)

the last level I am guessing on, if someone could confirm or debunk this I would appreciate it. changed thank you u/brownrhyno

Thank you u/LootBoy9000 for verifying the essence requierments

the life is for heroes and death is for villains

The distribution for an 8 rank skill is the same, you just remove L2, and renumber the levels appropriately.

the only change for an 8 level skill would be 29 will instead of 30. not to bad right?

well it gets a bit more in than that...each character has at least 4 skills, some 5. so if we multiply these numbers by the number of skills the character has we can determine just what we will need to "max" out a character. if the character has 4 skills(2 with 9 levels and 2 with 8 levels) then we will need a total of 118 will, 108 hope, 44 rage, and 12 life/death. if a character has 5 skills(2 with 9 levels and 3 with 8 levels) we will need 147 will, 135 hope, 55 rage, and 15 life/death...these numbers are just for 1 character to max out.

but a team consists of 4 characters, and there are I think 48 characters in the game right now. but do not despair, the beauty of this is that the rings event is easily farmed for around 32 will power a week with minimal gems spent. and as you progress you simply change the level you are farming there. also will power is obtainable in the last level of each chapter on normal difficulty, and the first time you beat any level. all said and done with minimal effort you should have no real problems getting your team up to a level you are happy with. Thanks for reading. enjoy.

thank you u/Skippykgt for making me want to improve my gigantic block of text into something more aesthetically pleasing

EDIT: added essence costs per level
