Three Breakthrough Points
A character has three Breakthrough Points per playthrough. Each Breakthrough skill costs one point; taking one unlocks that skill tree’s Tier 3 skills. This makes breakthrough selection a limited progression commitment: you can unlock Tier 3 in at most three trees using these points.
How it works
The Skills page describes Breakthrough skills as Tier 2 and says they are required to access Tier 3 on that tree. The Breakthrough page gives the three-point total and one-point cost. Tier 1 skills do not have this restriction.
When it helps
Reserve points for trees whose Tier 3 options match your intended build.
Your next step
Compare each desired Tier 3 skill before spending a point.
