Earning SP in Lost Judgement is necessary for unlocking new skills and abilities in the game. SP is basically an earnable form of XP that enables you to purchase new skills, abilities, and power boosts for Yagami. Listed below in this How to Earn SP (Skill Points) Quick guide are the best ways in which you can farm them in the game.
In order to increase the abilities of the skills and gadgets that Yagami has at his disposal, you must invest SP in his various skill trees, this though is a sizeable amount and will require a fair amount of grinding. Listed below are the best ways in which farm SP in Lost Judgement.
Invest in Battle Bonus Skills
It is recommended that you place the SP you earn into at least the first three levels of the Battle Bonus skills, as doing so will enable you to easily multiply any SP earnings. The Battle Bonus can be found in the Stats page of the Skills hub, and investing in its first level alone will enable Yagami to earn 50% more SP after a battle. There are six levels in total in the Battle Bonus, which means you can upgrade Yagami so that he rakes in an extra 300% SP after every fight. Ideally you want the Battle Bonus maxed out as soon as possible, but it is important to remember that if you focus exclusively on trying to max it out it will prevent you from unlocking other useful skills.
Use EX Moves
Make sure you use an EX finisher at every opportunity because whenever Yagami delivers a brutal knockout blow using one he will earn bonus SP in the process. Investing some SP in quick EX bar gains, so you replenish the gauge quicker, will enable you to earn plenty of SP by performing Yagami's signature attacks.
Be Aggressive
Lost Judgement rewards you with SP for being aggressive, fluid, and imaginative during combat. Look to increase your rewards by shifting in and out of Yagami's three fighting styles. The Crane, Tiger, and Snake style each have useful attributes for dealing with enemies, so make sure you take advantage of them whenever the opportunity arises. It is possible to earn over 1,000 SP from a single fight, and that number increase significantly when the game starts to introduce deadlier enemies.
Dangerous Enemies
Wandering the streets of Kamurocho and Yokohama are enemies that are substantially more dangerous than the regular ones you usually encounter. These enemies will be signified in the game by a purple arrow icon that appears on the map. Although these enemies are more dangerous and tougher to defeat, they will drop a decent amount of cash when they are beaten. Take advantage of these durable enemies by using them as a punching bag to unleash multiple attacks that will significantly fill up your SP bank.
Complete Side-Missions
SP can be earned completing the investigative side missions in Lost Judgement. Although lengthy, they are still worth tackling as they also pay out extra cash as well as some SP once the mystery has been successfully solved.
Drink Hug Bombs
You can gain SP by purchasing and using the Hug Bombs sold at Kotobuki Pharmacy and at Poppo convenience store throughout the game. Starting out with a bonus 300 SP from a regular can, Hug Bomb Omega drinks will award thousands more points when consumed, and can be acquired as a random prize from enemies.
