QUICK ANSWER
There are 200 Resonance Points, but all six mastery branches cost 165. Collect that total in one continuous playthrough because Chapter Select does not carry later points backward.
Why 165 points is the target
Each of the six branches has a main skill and two subskills. PowerPyx gives the total branch costs as 15, 20, 25, 30, 35 and 40 points, which add to 165.
The order grows more expensive as you buy branches, but the final combined cost is the same. With 200 points available, you can miss 35 and still unlock every skill.
| Branch purchase order | Total branch cost |
|---|---|
| 1st | 15 |
| 2nd | 20 |
| 3rd | 25 |
| 4th | 30 |
| 5th | 35 |
| 6th | 40 |
| All six | 165 |
The missable save behavior
A pickup saves at the next checkpoint. If Sophia dies before reaching it, collect the point again. Replaying an older chapter restores the point state attached to that chapter, so farming an old area will not combine with a later total.
If you miss a large cluster, restarting that chapter immediately is safer than finishing the campaign and hoping to repair the point total afterward.
Quick player questions
How many points can I skip?
You can skip 35 of the 200 and still reach the 165-point skill total.
Does buying only the large node finish a branch?
No. The two subskills also count toward completing each mastery branch.
