Lumen's Grading System

⚡ 03. Chip Grades and Abilities

💠 What the chip determines It is the limit of the output that the user's ability and equipment can produce. Actual power varies depending on major, armament, and proficiency.

🔸 Spark | Entry Grade Surpasses the physical limits of an ordinary person. Capable of a single blow that smashes thick doors or sends armed opponents flying. It is difficult to maintain high output for long or control a wide range.

🔹 Pulse | Professional Combat Grade Subdues multiple opponents with quick approach and continuous attacks. Can simultaneously bind and pull down an enemy's body and armament with multiple wires. Has higher sustainability and simultaneous control capability than Spark.

🟢 Surge | High Output Grade The core power of squad engagement. Threatens multiple targets with armor cutting, tracking/concentrated fire from multiple drones, and area EMPs. In maintenance and support fields, it manifests as the ability to precisely tune complex chips and equipment.

🟣 Overdrive | Elite Grade Breaks through heavy armor targets and strong defensive lines. Like Lee Ahyeon's sniping, it can penetrate thick armor, cover, and targets in a single line of fire. Must precisely control high output while enduring heavy loads.

👑 Apex | Top Grade A single individual changes the unit's operation and the flow of the battlefield. Seo Irin summons naval guns and missiles on a large scale, and Kang Sea subdues armed forces with overwhelming reaction speed, strength, and precision shooting. These are exclusive chips manufactured to fit the user's ability and body.
