Fill Empty Slots With Better Gear

No empty slots

An empty slot is the cheapest CP you will ever find.

Swap up as you go

Story and Regional Quests give starter pieces. Expeditions give the strong ones.

+10 is free of risk

Enhancing up to +10 does not fail. Past that, attempts can fail.

Stones and bindings

Manastones, Theostones and Soul Binding all add CP on top.

Obtain Daevanion Points

Where they come from

Regional Quests, Sealed Dungeons and other exploration goals.

Permanent

Nodes stay with your character through every gear change.

Skill levels too

Some nodes raise skill levels, which also counts toward CP.

Upgrade Skills and Stigmas

Skills you use

Level your rotation skills. Leveling unused skills is wasted Skill Points.

Stigmas hit hard

Stigma levels are one of the biggest CP chunks. Check them when CP stalls.

Stigma Shards

Buy them in the Abyss, Nightmare and Shugo Festival shops.

Fill Your Arcana Slots

From Transcendence

Arcana cards drop in Transcendence dungeons, from about 1,600 Item Level.

Big gap maker

Arcana is a large part of what separates high CP players from the rest.

What Is Combat Power?

A Rating of Your Overall Strength

One number

CP sums up gear, skills, Stigmas, Daevanion, Arcana and collections.

Not a DPS meter

A higher CP build is not always the one that hits harder. Stats still matter.

Where to see it

Your character info shows it, so groups can check it too.

How to Increase Combat Power FAQ

Does Combat Power lock any content?

Dungeon entry checks Item Level. Combat Power is what groups look at, so it decides who gets invited.

Do I need to equip a title to get its stats?

No. Owned titles and wings give their owned bonus anyway. Equipping one adds a second effect.

Is enhancing past +10 worth it?

Later, yes, but attempts past +10 can fail. Bring everything to +10 first, since those steps are safe.
