About this converter
God of War 2018 sells skills for XP in four trees, and each skill has a fixed tag. Atreus opens cheapest at 250 for Light Potency and Shock Potency. The 500 band holds Executioners Cleave, Grinding Storm, Rushing Chaos, Teamwork and Fury Drive. The 1,000 band holds Freezing Burst, Frost Rush, Plume of Chaos and Spartan Stomp. Hunter-Killer is 1,500, Glacial Permafrost is 2,000, Whirlwind Sweep is 3,000, and Essence of Athena tops at 10,000 for permanent luck. Axe tiers gate behind weapon upgrades 2 to 4, and Blades tiers run melee and elemental lines to level 5. Every figure here is the Skills tab tag as copied by IGN and God of War Wiki skill tables.
How to use it
Pick two entries and a unit in the top row. The three boxes below stay linked. Change any box and the other two update. Try 1 Essence of Athena against 1 Cleave to see how many starter skills one luck skill costs. The ratio line prints the exact multiple in XP.
Raging Ultimatum at 4,500 and Elemental Overcharge at 4,500 sit between the rows shown and are named here for completeness. Fury Beatdown and Spartan Surge cost prerequisites rather than XP, so they stay out. Ares and Zeus luck variants share the 10,000 tag with Athena, counted once.
