Aura stages, Instinct V1 and V2, and color skins that do not change damage.
Haki
Buy Aura from the First Sea trainer as soon as the level and Beli gate opens so armored quest packs stop shrugging hits. Instinct V1 unlocks after level 300 and the Saber Expert line for about 750,000 Beli at the Upper Skylands Instinct Teacher. Instinct V2 sits in Third Sea near level 1800 after high Instinct mastery, the Musketeer Hat path on Floating Turtle, and several million Beli at the Hungry Man. Aura colors are skins only.

Unlock path
Start with Aura so tougher First Sea enemies take damage. At level 300, finish Saber Expert, then pay the Instinct Teacher on the Upper Skylands temple roof about 750,000 Beli for Observation V1. Second Sea Café sells Aura color skins that also need world berries. Instinct V2 near level 1800 needs mastery, the Musketeer Hat route on Floating Turtle, and several million Beli at the Hungry Man for a wider dodge window. Keep both Aura and Instinct on for late bosses and PvP.
- Armament (Aura). Buy Aura from the First Sea trainer when you meet the level and Beli cost. Without it, tougher enemies shrug off your hits.
- Instinct (Observation) V1. Reach level 300, finish the Saber Expert line, then pay the Instinct Teacher on the Upper Skylands temple roof about 750,000 Beli. Instinct adds dodges and awareness.
- Aura colors. Second Sea Café sells color skins. You also need berries from the world. Colors look different; they do not replace real Aura upgrades.
- Instinct V2. Third Sea upgrade near level 1800. Needs high Instinct mastery, the Musketeer Hat path on Floating Turtle, and several million Beli at the Hungry Man. Wider dodge window than V1.
- Keep Aura and Instinct on. Late bosses and PvP punish players who skip either. If a trainer is hard to find after an update, use the in-game map markers.
- Can trick (Observation timing). Leave Instinct off until the opponent commits a heavy move, then toggle Observation as it lands to eat the dodge frame. Some moves still hit through Observation. Flash Step or create distance against those.

FAQ
When should I buy Aura?
As soon as the First Sea trainer will sell it. Waiting makes armored quest packs take longer.
How do I unlock Instinct?
Hit level 300, finish Saber Expert, then buy Instinct from the Upper Skylands Instinct Teacher for about 750,000 Beli.
Is Instinct required for Second Sea?
Not for the sail gate. You will want it soon after for harder fights and PvP.
How do I get Instinct V2?
Floating Turtle in Third Sea: Instinct mastery, Musketeer Hat quest items, then pay the Hungry Man several million Beli. Follow the NPC prompts for the food bowl steps.
Does Aura color change damage?
No. Upgrades and Instinct levels do the work. Color is a skin.
What is can trick?
Timing Instinct (Observation) so a committed heavy hit triggers dodge frames and deals little damage. Practice on friends in a private server. Some moves cannot be can-tricked - learn which ones.
