EXP (experience points) are earned for defeating enemies. Level will increase with enough EXP, which grants +50 HP, +1 max drop rate, and +1 BRV. When leveling up during a battle, both characters glow momentarily and are levitated into the air, and all HP are restored. The glow around the characters harms enemies that come into contact with it, and has a slight knockback effect.

The amount of EXP needed to reach the next level is 100 * current level. The maximum level is 100, indicated by a star.
