# Combat Skill Points

In order to progress further in combat, you will need to level up your skills. Collect materials required to level up from the dungeons. 

There are eight (8) skill types

* **Sword ATK & DEF** 
* **Shield ATK & DEF**
* **Spell ATK & DEF** 
* **Max HP**
* **Max AMR**

There are two primary upgrade systems:&#x20;

<table data-view="cards"><thead><tr><th></th><th></th><th></th><th data-hidden data-card-cover data-type="files"></th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Material: Dungeon Scraps</td><td>Level up skills for Dungetron 5000</td><td>Dropped only in Dungetron 5000: Normal</td><td><a href="/files/ZcXDebRlJb1LkZxDVLEn">/files/ZcXDebRlJb1LkZxDVLEn</a></td></tr><tr><td>Material: Giga Shards</td><td>Level up skills for Dungetron: Underhaul</td><td>Dropped in Dungetron 5000: Normal and Underhaul</td><td><a href="/files/jahjypCVsYUZ2BR94bWw">/files/jahjypCVsYUZ2BR94bWw</a></td></tr></tbody></table>

Notes:

* Scrap & Giga Shards are soulbound (meaning they cannot be sold or transferred).&#x20;
* Giga Shards and Dungeon Scraps are not interchangeable.
* It costs more & more materials to level up your skills as your level increases.
* Scrap can also be used to craft gear. See [Workbench](/crafting-and-stations/workbench.md) to learn more about crafting gear.
* As you reach higher individual skill levels, it will take more than 1 skill point to upgrade a skill to get the new level’s combat bonus
* Each skill point applied will increase overall combat level by 1, with a max of 100
* You can respec by spending Temporal Hourglasses to return a skill point

{% hint style="danger" %}
Downgrading a skill only returns 75% of the materials spent on that level
{% endhint %}
