To upgrade weapons fast in Beast of Reincarnation, collect blue skulls to raise your Power stat on the Cleanse Walker, then spend Amber on melee upgrades once Power reaches about 5.
Amber is the upgrade currency, but it is not the only gate on weapon growth. For most melee weapons, your real speed comes from lifting the Power cap first, then spending Amber once the upgrades can actually go higher.
Requirements for upgrading weapons in Beast of Reincarnation
Weapons are usually upgraded with Amber, but many melee upgrades hit a limit until your Power stat is higher. That makes blue skulls just as important as Amber when your goal is to push a blade quickly.
Ranged weapons and ammo work differently. They usually do not lean on Power in the same way, but they demand a much heavier Amber investment, so pouring Amber into them early can delay your melee damage curve.
How to upgrade weapons in Beast of Reincarnation
Gather Amber while exploring
Pick up Amber naturally as you clear areas, since it is still the currency you spend on weapon upgrades.
Prioritize blue skulls
Treat blue skulls as high-priority finds because they raise the Power stat that lifts the melee upgrade limit.
Let Ku’s finds count
When Ku finds blue skulls while traveling, use them as bonus progress toward your next Power increase.
Raise Power on the Cleanse Walker
Turn skulls in at the Cleanse Walker so your Power stat climbs instead of leaving melee upgrades capped.
Upgrade melee at Power 5
KEY!Once Power reaches at least 5, spend Amber on your preferred melee weapons because most of them can then be upgraded to max.
Melee and ranged upgrade priorities
| Weapon type | Upgrade focus |
|---|---|
| Melee weapons | Raise Power first, then spend Amber once the cap opens. |
| Ranged weapons | Plan for heavier Amber costs without the same Power reliance. |
| Ammo | Budget Amber carefully, especially before your main melee weapon is upgraded. |
Melee weapons should usually get the first serious upgrade push because Power 5 opens the path to maxing most of them. That gives your Amber a cleaner return: better close-range damage, faster kills, and less pressure to keep feeding expensive ranged options before your core weapon is ready.
Use ranged upgrades when they support your build, but avoid letting them consume the Amber that would get your main melee weapon over a damage breakpoint.
Push Power to 5 before heavy Amber spending so your melee upgrades are not blocked by the cap.
Get upgrade resources faster
Clear areas thoroughly instead of sprinting past side pickups. Missed weapons, manuals, materials, and similar progression finds can slow your upgrade path later, especially when new areas start asking more from your kit.
After reaching new zones, revisit camps and merchants before spending everything in one place. Their stock and utility can make it easier to fill gaps in your setup, and a quick check can save you from over-investing in the wrong weapon type.
Do not hoard progression resources for too long. If an upgrade improves your kill speed now, it also makes the next stretch of exploration cleaner, which means more chances to find Amber, skulls, weapons, and manuals without dragging fights out.
Upgrade mistakes to avoid
The biggest slowdown is treating Amber as the whole answer. If your melee weapon is still capped, more Amber sitting in your inventory will not solve the Power requirement.
Also avoid spending heavily on ranged gear before your melee weapon is in shape, ignoring blue skulls while exploring, or chasing console and spawn-code shortcuts. The fast route is simple: collect skulls, raise Power, then spend Amber where it can actually move the upgrade bar.

Ranged weapons usually do not need Power in the same way melee weapons do.
What are blue skulls used for?
