Demons learn new Skills as they level up, and each Skill, unlike the basic attack, requires a certain amount of MP to use.

Useful Locations
WhileSoul Hackers 2doesn’t have chapters or levels, there are certain arcs that players must work through to move further into the game. Each arc typically consists of a dungeon to explore and multiple battles between the main characters and their enemies. Aftercompleting these arcs, a new location is unlocked and available on the City Map.
The Safehouse
After joining forces with Arrow and Milady, players unlock a Safehouse hidden somewhere in the city. There, players can eat meals, access DLC, and rest up. Select “Rest” from the action menu, which fully restores all HP and MP for every character. The Safehouse is always available to players unless they are in the middle of an inescapable battle.
De La Mancha
De La Mancha is a discount shop in Karakucho. Once De La Mancha is unlocked, players can purchase many Expendable Items from Yume, the shopkeeper. This guarantees MP restoring items instead of getting them by chance from Demons so players can stock up before boss battles or exploration. However, certain items are in limited stock, so visit multiple times to get a lot of them and to check for new stock.
