**Talents** are passive effects which can be unlocked with skill points. Base talents and their upgrades can be locked behind specific vault levels.

## Usage

When opening the statistics page, selecting the talents page (the tab with a closed book as an icon), it allows the player to see all the talents that can be learned. By left-clicking on the icon of a talent, the icon turns slighty green and the right panel shows informations about the talent: a brief description, the cost of skill points for each upgrade, and the level requirement per upgrade.

### Learning

Each talents and their own upgrades require the player to have a certain Vault Hunters level in order to be learned. To learn (or upgrade) an talent, the player must spend skill points on it. Skill points are shared between all the talents. If the player meets the requirement for learning a talent, its icon slot will turn light grey. If not, its icon slot will stay light dark. When learning an talent, its icon slot and one of the small bullet below will turn yellow.

Restrictions

Some talents can not be learn alongside other talents. This restriction is showed by red arrows between these talents. For example: by learning Daze, the player can no longer learn Nucleus.

### Unlearning

Main article: Orb of Regret
To unlearn (or downgrade) an talent, the player must spend orbs of regret in order to have regret points. The amount of regret points to unlearn (or downgrade) a talent is shown in the right panel next to "Unlearn". Regret points are also shared between all the talents. When unlearning (or downgrading) an talent, the player automatically retrieves the amount of skill points needed to learn (or upgrade) the talent.
