In the world of All Star Tower Defense X, maximizing the potential of your units is crucial to achieving victory. Besides leveling up your characters, unlocking their Hidden Potential offers a unique way to boost their power. If you’re feeling a bit overwhelmed by this mechanic, don’t worry! This guide breaks down everything you need to know about Hidden Potential skill trees.
As an experienced player, I’ve navigated many challenges in the game, and understanding Hidden Potential has significantly enhanced my gameplay. So, let’s dive into the specifics.
Understanding Hidden Potential Skill Trees
Once you hit player level 18, you can access the Hidden Potential skill trees for your 5-star units and their rarer counterparts. Remember, you can only unlock one skill tree per unit. After unlocking, you can allocate nodes that enhance various stats and equip your units with powerful passive abilities.
Unlocking Special Skills and Nodes
To allocate nodes on a Hidden Potential skill tree, you’ll need Skill Orbs that correspond to your unit’s element color. For example, if you’re working with a purple unit like Jin Sung, you’ll need Purple Skill Orbs. There are two types available: Skill Orb I and Skill Orb II. Collecting these can take time, so plan ahead.
Unlocking nodes that grant special skills is a rewarding process. You can easily allocate the first special skill slot, but for the remaining slots, you’ll need three duplicates of the same unit. Each special skill can also be allocated multiple times to increase its effectiveness.
Hidden Potential Special Skill Tier List
Understanding which skills to focus on can significantly impact your unit’s performance. The tier list ranks the special skills available through Hidden Potential, taking into account their overall DPS and utility in the game.
