Now unlike both the T-dolls and Fairies, HOC's possess 3 skills which require training, not only do they cost a significant amount of data, they also require batteries to do skill training.

==Neural Upgrade==
The Neural Upgrade system (or Digi-mind upgrade) is unlocked when the player reaches Commander Level 60.

Certain T-Dolls may undergo neural upgrade, colloquially known as "modding". There are three stages that can be progressively unlocked, each of which unlocks additional benefits. To date, the bonuses granted by all neural upgrades have followed a specific pattern:
{| class="gf-table"
!Level
!Benefits
|-
| Mod 1
| Increases level cap to 110. Increases star rarity, increases buff tile coverage and/or buff value, improves skill multiplier numbers, and increases base stats.
|-
| Mod 2
| Increases level cap to 115. Unlocks a 2nd skill which must be trained separately and increases base stats.
|-
| Mod 3
| Increases level cap to 120. Provides a 5 star equipment exclusive to that T-Doll, increases the affection cap for oathed T-Dolls from 150 to 200, unlocks a special skin for the T-Doll, and increases base stats.
|}

Unlocking each new modification stage requires that the T-Doll meets certain level and affection requirements, and consumes cores and memory fragments according to the table below. After unlocking Mod 1, oathed T-Dolls gain experience at double the normal rate, including experience gained from auto-battles, combat simulations, or combat reports.
