✦ FIELD NOTE 05 / Customization

Beyond Nen Races, Lineages & Abilities

Pick a role before spending spins. Rabbit is a practical weapon pick, Cat favors movement, and Cyborg favors durability. Your Nen ability must match its affinity.

What each roll changes

Race changes baseline perks. Lineage adds inherited effects. Affinity determines your Nen ability pool, and Ability is the moveset you get from that pool.

Open Customize to inspect the four roll slots. Check the current perk and the replacement prompt before using a spin. If your build already works, save spins until you know which slot is holding it back.

For your first slot, fit matters more than rarity. None of these rolls replaces the level 10 requirement for the exam.
