Given that you have two controllable characters in Beast of Reincarnation alongside a pretty big (literal) skill tree, there’s a ton of variety in how you can build out the skills of both Emma and Koo. Here’s an overview of how unlocking skills works, and a few you should grab first.

Beast of Reincarnation is a brand new IP from developer Game Freak (yes, the same Game Freak that makes Pokemon), and is a third-person action adventure starring a girl named Emma and a really big dog named Koo. Between Sekiro-like swordplay, and commands you can issue to Koo from a menu, its hybrid action is certainly unique. Thankfully you have IGN Guides to help you make sense of it all!
