While Fantasian Neo Dimension is a fairly linear affair for the first Act, after you reach the end of Act 1, you unlock a new mechanic - Growth Maps. These are Fantasian's version of skill trees, allowing every character to be customised more freely.

PostsEach character unlocks their respective Growth Map once they are returned to the party, though they don't have full access from the very beginning. There are some nodes that are locked. Well here's how to unlock them all.
What Is The Growth Map?
The Growth Map is a relatively simple concept. It is a skill tree, unique to each character. It only unlocks in Act 2, and after each characters gains their respective Divine Artifact. This lets them gain a bunch more unique skills, passives, and stat boosts, letting you fine-tune a party of your own.
The Growth Map can also be completely refunded free-of-charge as many times as you want.
With each level up, characters gain SP used to purchase skills. This is initially three SP per level, though increases to six SP at later levels. If you're just a few SP short of a skill you want, you can use SP Capsules to give characters a permanent two extra SP points. Keep in mind that these cannot be refunded, and SP Capsules are finite.
Every Skill In Each Character's Growth Map

Leo is our jack-of-all-trades, having a little bit of everything going on. That said, the majority of his abilities are focused around his offensive skills, though you can build him more around evasive abilities and stealing, if you want. Here are all of his skills:

Kina is the healer of the party, and is fairly limited in terms of attacks. That said, she can perform just about every healing and support ability in the game, making her essential in particularly difficult battles. Let's take a look at her skills:

Resurrection is one of Kina's most powerful skills, as being able to revive an ally to full HP, and possibly even give them a Barrier, is a massive help. And while many of her other skills are helpful as well, her Tension skill, Miracle, is one of the most powerful in the game. Make sure to invest in all of its upgrades.
Cheryl
CloseDespite coming off as the self-assured princess, Cheryl has good reason to do so. She is far and away the most powerful party member in the game, and will be essential in taking down just about every late-game boss. Here are all her skills:

Zinikr
CloseZinikr is our foremost tank in the party. While both Leo and Kina can Guard and Taunt as well, Zinikr is the only one with the defense to back it up. Let's check out his skills:

Safe Taunt is the most useful tool in Zinikr's kit, and pairing it with DEF Counter and Heavy Counter, you can deal some heavy damage before it's even his turn. Beyond that, Concentrate, Radiance and Gaia Strike, and Double Charge are very helpful to have to boost the damage he deals to those taunted enemies.
Ez
CloseEz is the most unique of all the party members, acting more like a Machinist than more traditional classes. He doesn't use MP at all, making use of your crafting materials instead. That's where all his skills fall as well, letting you use your crafting materials for even more uses.
Skill
Effect
Fight DMG Up
Increases damage dealt by Fight.

For Ez, there are lots of essentials. Quick All, All Potion L, All Potion +, Attack and Defense Turns+. But more important than any of them is Infinite Loop. Ez's Tension skill can have a party on the brink of defeat brought to full HP and buffed to infinity in just a few turns. Ez is a mainstay of the party once you get him.
Prickle
ClosePrickle acts as a secondary support unit to Kina. While he doesn't have quite as much support diversity as her, he can hold his own in a battle. Here are his skills:
Skill
Effect
Fight DMG Up
Increases damage dealt by Fight
Jewel Slot+
Adds a second jewel slot

Getting some extra support moves, such as Barrier All and Heal All are a massive help, but it's worth getting Counter Barrier too to give Prickle some extra survivability. Frenzy is actually worth investing in though, as all those shots will all be directed at a single enemy if there's only one. Give Prickle some extra accuracy and Frenzy can be a real powerhouse.
Valrika
CloseValrika is quite a diverse character, coming with quite a lot of offensive abilities but also lots to debuff enemies as well. She's all about crowd control, whether you have her in an offensive or support role. Let's check out her skills:
Skill

Arrow Rain Hit 1
Increases hits in Arrow Rain.
Arrow Rain Hit 2

First and Foremost, you want to get Arrow Rain Hit 1 and 2, as this is easily her most powerful move and can deal obscene damage. Pair this with MP Attack, and Valrika becomes entirely self-sufficent, regaining more MP than she uses. Counter Break and Crush are great as well to keep up debuffs on the enemy, while Cursed Voice lets a whole host of enemies be afflicted at once.
Tan
CloseTan is the definition of a glass cannon, dealing immense damage, but sapping it himself with the majority of his skills. He's a careful act of managing HP, but can be obscenely powerful when built right. Let's see the skills:
Skill
Effect
Fight DMG Up
Increases damage dealt by Fight.
Jewel Slot+
Adds a second jewel slot.
Jetstream
Tan's Tension skill.
Jetstream and Poison
Casts Poison after Jetstream.

A chance to inflict Poison on hit enemies.
Rudy Strike
Deals massive damage to a single enemy in exchange for HP.
Rudy Strike+
Rudy Strike deals more damage.
Slow (Rudy)
Rudy Strike has a chance of casting Slow.
We want to build Tan to be as evasive as possible, so Desperation Evade and Phantom are great here. Adolfo Impact and Rudy Strike are a given, as well as their respective upgrades. Mystery Potion is Tan's more powerful skill, and pairing it with a Crystal Quartz removes every downside. Equip a Morganite L to get back HP with each kill, letting him survive that much longer.
