Sea of Stars has a maximum level of 30, but the leveling system allows players to adjust and customize their party's stats, like HP, physical defenses, magic defenses, and more. To level up, the party must defeat enemies and bosses to gain experience points. The threshold for achieving another level rises. However, players can add bonus points to their stats, allowing players to customize their party.

Bonus Stats In Sea Of Stars

Sea of Stars - Garl with extra points in HP

The application of bonus points for each character in Sea of Stars is subjective to the player's tastes and the kind of characters they want to build. If players prefer Zale stay focused on his physical attributes, they can apply bonuses in his attacks and hit points or take advantage of his balance between magic and physical.

However, it's worth noting that some characters get higher bonus numbers for specific stats than others. Garl is a powerhouse without Solstice Power, so adding extra points on HP and physical in the early game is beneficial, especially as he gets more bonus points for HP. However, all the character's best abilities are linked to MP. The more MP they have, the better equipped they are when using powerful attacks and combos.
