CONTROL Resonant uses a talent system with points on level-up and free respec — no build choice is permanent.
How talents work
- Earn talent points as you level
- Invest into trees that reinforce your combat style
- Respec freely when a boss or zone asks for a different approach
Talent + artifact stacking
Talents are the structural layer; artifacts are conditional multipliers on top. Plan a direction (stagger, mobility, ability spam) then layer artifacts that reward that plan. See Artifacts.
Where to experiment
Use The Gap as your lab for talent swaps and loadout tests between expeditions into Manhattan zones.
