View source for Boost Level

'''Boost Level''' is a system where skills will become more powerful or gain more effects as a battle continues.

__TOC__

==Mechanics==
At the start of a battle, Boost Level begins at level 0. A skill's current Boost Level can be checked by looking at the skill's description during battle.

At a given Boost Level, the demon's skill receives the benefits for that level and all previous levels. For example: at Boost Level 3, the demon receives the benefits of levels 1, 2, and 3 simultaneously.

Boost Level is retained across waves and if the demon dies. There is no way to decrease Boost Level once it has been increased.

Boost Level is tracked separately for each skill on each demon (though demons tend to have only one boost-able skill), and generally a demon can only increase the Boost Levels of their own skills (with some exceptions, such as {{DemonIcon|Gemori|size=32px}}).
