Learn how to upgrade Arknights Operator skills to Level 7 with Skill Summaries and enhance them further with Masteries (M1-M3) for boosted effectiveness.
Operator skills can be leveled up to Skill Level 7 using Skill Summaries. Beyond Skill Level 7, certain skills can be further enhanced through 'Mastery' levels (M1, M2, M3). Mastery significantly boosts skill effectiveness, often reducing SP cost, increasing damage/healing, or extending duration even further.

- Skill Summaries: Used for Skill Levels 1-7. Acquired from SK stages, missions, and events. There are three tiers: Skill Summary 1, 2, and 3.
- Mastery Materials: For M1, M2, M3, operators require specific rare materials (e.g., D32 Steel, Polymerization Preparation, Bipolar Nanoflake) in addition to Skill Summaries. These are primarily farmed from later Main Story stages, AP stages, or crafted in the Workshop.
Prioritize leveling the most impactful skills of your core operators to Skill Level 7. Mastery is an endgame investment, typically reserved for your strongest and most frequently used 5-star and 6-star operators. Research which skills benefit most from Mastery before committing valuable resources.
