In Trials of Mana, your character has five unique attributes which can be leveled up using Training Points. This Trials of Mana Stats and Abilities guide will explain how to spend points and unlock more abilities.
Trials of Mana Stats and Abilities
In Trials of Mana, using your Training Points efficiently and leveling up the right attributes for your character is an incredibly important part of the game.
Whenever your character levels up, they will gain a few Training Points. The purpose of these Training Points is to level up the five unique attributes your character possesses: Strength, Spirit, Stamina, Luck, and Intelligence.
When you allocate a specific amount of points to an attribute, it will unlock new abilities for your character which relate to that attribute. These abilities can be of two types: Active Abilities or Passive Abilities.
The Active Abilities are unique spells and techniques that your character can use during battle, while the Passive Abilities are enhancements to their stats, such as increased MP/HP and more attack power, etc.
When your character accumulates Training Points in Trials of Mana, you must plan out beforehand which attributes of theirs you want to level up first and what kind of abilities you want to unlock for them.
If you spend your Training Points as they come without taking your time to understand what your TP allocation will do for your character, you will not be able to progress properly in the game.
But if you’ve already done that, all hope is not lost. You can redistribute Training Points in Trials of Mana by speaking to the Fortune Teller at the Beiser Night Market. However, this will come at a fee which will scale with how many points you’re redistributing.
To help you out with spending your Training Points wisely, below, we’ve listed down all the abilities and chain abilities you can learn for your characters in Trials of Mana.
