The skill tree — what is confirmed
Emma and her dog Koo share one skill tree and one SP pool. The tree grows as you play — beat a major boss and a flower on the tree blooms into a new branch. Below is every fact we could verify on launch day, labeled by how solid it is; SP costs per node are not published anywhere yet, so you won’t find them here (or anywhere honest).
- Emma and Koo draw from one shared SP pool, earned by defeating enemies. ✓ corroboratedGame8 skill guide; PC Gamer and VGC reviews mention the shared pool
- The skill tree is literally a tree: Emma and Koo start with three branches each, and each major boss you defeat makes a flower bloom into a new branch. ✓ corroboratedPC Gamer, VGC and MonsterVine reviews independently describe the blooming tree
- Three attributes level at campsites: Strength (attack + defense), Vitality (HP), Florescence (Skill Power). ✓ corroboratedGame8 beginner guide + Nerdschalk attributes guide
- Unlocked nodes can be upgraded further by spending more SP on them. community-reportedGame8 beginner guide
- Emma — Entanglement Overdrive branch: unlocked via Strength; improves healing and Entanglement Gauge recovery. Emma — Hair branch: upgrades Emma's hair attacks. community-reportedGame8 skill guide; PC Gamer confirms hair upgrades exist ('you can upgrade Emma's hair')
- Koo — Guard branch unlocks at 7 Vitality (buffs Emma's defense during Bloom Arts). Koo — Pounce branch unlocks at 7 Strength (chance-based instant kills; leads to Healing Bouquet and Healing Garden). Koo — Incantation branch focuses on status ailments. "Lay Landmine" is an early standout pick. community-reportedGame8 skill guide (launch day)
- Per-node SP costs and the total node count are not published anywhere yet. unconfirmedVerified absence across sources (Aug 4)

- “Lay Landmine” is the early Koo pick Game8 singles out. community-reported
- Since bosses literally grow the tree, a “full skill list” cannot exist until someone finishes the game and counts — see builds for what you can safely plan around today.
