# Skills

Two factors impact a character's performance on the court: physical abilities and basketball skills.&#x20;

Physical abilities determine the character's movement ability on the court and their basketball skills are called upon when interacting with the ball, other players, or the basket. These two elements are also known as attributes.

Physical abilities increase as the player levels up their character by earning experience points after each match. Conversely, to enhance basketball skills, the player must allocate Power Points to each specific attribute. Power Points can be acquired through gold or discovered in loot boxes.
