Boons measure a hero’s power growth as souls are gathered. Each level grants a boon; the maximum is 35. Boons increase base bullet and melee damage, health and Spirit Power by hero-specific amounts. Some heroes gain other stats, such as Dynamo’s Bullet Resist. A green arrow and hero icon mark abilities or items with boon scaling.

The soul counter beneath the portrait is visible to all players. The container next to it shows progress to the next boon; Tab displays the boon level over the portrait. Every hero uses the same soul thresholds.

Level rewards

Players begin at level 0 with 600 souls and one non-ultimate ability unlock. Levels 2 and 4 unlock the other non-ultimate abilities, and level 7 unlocks the ultimate at 3,800 souls. Other levels award ability points, up to 32. The three upgrade tiers of each ability cost 1, 2 and 5 points; points can be saved and spent in any order.

If Haunted Souls provide a level and are subsequently lost, the level stays unlocked but progress to the next level decreases. After the maximum, the HUD displays additional levels each 2,000 souls without additional boons.

The table gives the incremental reward and running totals. Empty cells mean no reward of that kind at that threshold.

The hero-stat tables are reproduced as displayed by the source, including their own soul labels. The October 30, 2026 update changed several heroes; the source does not establish whether each dynamic table value reflects those changes, so no patch adjustment has been applied here. Those labels (for example 5.7K at 10 boons) differ from the reward table above (5.9K); the source does not explain the discrepancy. The linked revision contains the expandable per-level detail.

Detailed per-level source values: bullet damage, health, light melee, heavy melee, and Spirit Power.
