Soft-Cap Curves

See exactly where each of the seven core attributes caps out. An interactive curve plots your current value against every point of the scaling function — cap markers and rate-per-point labels show you precisely when investing more stops paying off.

Samurai & Ninja Arts

Plan independently for both Samurai and Ninja builds in the same session. Switch between class skill trees, browse every weapon type's Martial Art set, and see how Transformed Arts and Mystic Arts fit into your progression.
