			Example: If you have 1 champion and 3 trained units and they defeat a unit worth 100 XP, before modifiers the champion would get 100 XP and each trained unit would also get 100 XP. If you instead brought 2 champions, each trained unit would still get 100 XP, but each champion would get 50 XP due to how experience is distributed between champions. Note that the experience gained by trained units is unaffected by how many champions are in their army.

|title=Experience and Leveling
|content=
In [[Elemental Reforged]], [[units]] gain experience points (XP) through [[combat]] and other activities. When a unit accumulates enough experience, they gain a level, gaining improved [[stats]] and potentially new [[abilities]].
}}
{{SectionTemplate
|h=h2
|title=Gaining Experience
|content=

}}
{{SectionTemplate
|h=h3
|title=Combat Experience
|content=
The primary way units gain experience is by defeating enemies in battle. When an enemy unit is killed, the victorious army receives experience points based on:

* The defeated unit's '''Combat Rating''' , which is calculated from its stats and other modifiers
* The defeated unit's '''Level'''
* A global '''Combat Rating to XP Multiplier'''

The formula for experience awarded when defeating a unit is:

<pre>AwardedXP = max(CombatRating × CombatRatingMultiplier × sqrt(Level), Level)</pre>

The minimum XP awarded is always at least equal to the defeated unit's level.
}}
{{SectionTemplate
|h=h3
|title=Other Sources of Experience
|content=
Beyond combat, units can gain experience through:

'''Stationed in City''': Units garrisoned in a city gain passive XP over time:
* '''Champions''' gain 1 XP every turn while stationed
* '''Regular units''' gain 1 XP every N turns (configurable in game settings, default 10 turns)

'''Quest Completion''': Quests can award XP through game modifiers when completed

'''Events''': Certain game events can trigger experience gains
}}
{{SectionTemplate
|h=h3
|title=Experience Distribution
|content=
When an army defeats an enemy, experience is distributed among the army's units:

* '''Champions''' in the army share the experience equally among themselves
* If no champions are present, the full XP goes to the army leader
* Units in the army that are not leaders nor champions also receive the full experience amount

}}
{{SectionTemplate
|h=h3
|title=Experience Modifiers
|content=
Several factors can modify the amount of experience a unit receives:

'''Experience Bonus Stat''': Units with the EXPBONUS stat receive a percentage bonus to all experience gained. For example, a unit with +25 EXPBONUS gains 25% more XP.

'''Trained Unit Penalty''': Non-champion units (trained/designed units) receive reduced experience based on the <code>ExpMultiplierOnDesignedUnits</code> setting. This ensures champions level faster than regular troops. Trained units always receive at least 1 XP per combat.

'''Difficulty Modifier''': Higher difficulty settings increase the XP required to level up (see below).

'''Map Size Modifier''': Larger maps reduce XP per kill to balance pacing.

'''Major Faction Penalty''': Defeating units from major factions awards only 50% of normal XP.

}}
{{SectionTemplate
|h=h2
|title=Level Requirements
|content=
Units start at '''Level 1''' with '''0 experience points'''. The amount of experience required to reach the next level follows a quadratic progression formula:

<pre>XP Required = (9 × CurrentLevel) + (Multiplier × CurrentLevel^Base)</pre>

Where:
* '''Multiplier''' = 1 (default)
* '''Base''' = 2.1 (modified by difficulty)
}}
{{SectionTemplate
|h=h3
|title=Difficulty Impact on Leveling
|content=
The base exponent increases on higher difficulties, making leveling slower:

As levels increase, the XP requirements grow significantly, creating a natural progression curve where early levels come quickly but later levels require substantially more effort.
}}
{{SectionTemplate
|h=h2
|title=Effects of Leveling
|content=
When a unit accumulates enough experience to level up:

# '''Experience is spent''': The required XP is subtracted from the unit's total
# '''Level increases''': The unit's level increments by 1
# '''Stats are recalculated''': The unit receives new stats based on their unit type's level milestones
# '''Perk selection''' (Champions only): Champions get to choose a new perk
}}
{{SectionTemplate
|h=h3
|title=Stat Progression
|content=
Each unit type defines stat milestones at certain levels. When a unit levels up:

* '''Hit Points''': Increase by 2 per level (plus any global HP bonus)
* '''Combat Stats''': Attack, defense, dodge, and other combat values update based on unit type milestones
* '''Movement''': Total moves are recalculated
* '''Sight Range''': Sight range is updated

Stats between defined milestones are interpolated, providing smooth progression.
}}
{{SectionTemplate
|h=h3
|title=Multiple Level-Ups
|content=
If a unit gains enough experience to level up multiple times at once (such as from a large battle), each level is processed sequentially. The unit receives perk choices for each level gained.
}}
{{SectionTemplate
|h=h2
|title=Champion Leveling
|content=
Champions (heroes) have special leveling considerations:
}}
{{SectionTemplate
|h=h3
|title=Perk System
|content=
When champions level up, they choose from available perks that provide various bonuses:

* Stat increases
* New abilities
* Combat bonuses
* Special traits

The available perks depend on:
* The champion's class/type
* Previously chosen perks (some are mutually exclusive)
* The champion's current level
}}
{{SectionTemplate
|h=h2
|title=Sovereign Leveling
|content=
The Sovereign (the player's main hero) follows the same leveling system as champions but typically has access to unique perks and abilities tied to their chosen profession and faction.
}}
{{SectionTemplate
|h=h3
|title=Sovereign XP from Champions
|content=
Sovereigns receive bonus experience when their champions participate in battles. The formula is:

<pre>Bonus XP = (ChampionExperience / 100) × #Champions × BattleXPEarned</pre>

This means sovereigns with a high "Experience from Champions" stat can level up faster by fielding more champions in combat.
}}
{{SectionTemplate
|h=h2
|title=Trained Unit Leveling
|content=
Regular trained units (non-champions) level up similarly but with key differences:

* They receive reduced experience from combat
* Many unit types do not receive perk choices on level up
* Their stat progression is defined entirely by their unit type's milestones
}}
