Focus Tree
Every rank, and what each one changes
Focus Points buy these steps in order. Several change what the ability does rather than making it bigger, so the last row is worth reading before committing to the first.
The ladder carries its own evidence, and it is weaker than the ability’s. EA published what each ability does at its first rank; guide writers read the rest off the shipped game’s Focus Tree. Nothing here has been reproduced by this site, and no source has published what any rank costs.
| Rank | What it does |
|---|---|
| Tier 1 | +30% Deflection Chance |
| Tier 2 | Movement +1.0m |
| Tier 3 | +10% Melee Critical Chance |
| Tier 4 | Equip a second Meditation |
| Tier 5 | Equip a third Meditation |
Build value
Why it matters when you are planning a squad
The row that decides what the rest of her is worth, because everything else adds to it: Strong with the Force's Harmony is +4% a stack and Noble Stance is +10% an Action Point, and both are percentages on top of what this passive supplies. Take nothing here and those two are building on a floor of nothing. What makes it awkward to price is that its five ranks buy five unrelated things rather than one thing five times — a Meditation slot is not more of a deflection percentage — so this is the one row in the game where a reader has to know what the fourth and fifth ranks are before deciding whether to stop at the third.
