# 6. Leveling Up

Leveling Up gives you an edge over other players. The more levels up you are, the harder it is for players to assault and debilitate you, so the more formidable you become, even when you are the agent provocateur.

To level up, you need **5 wins**. By 5 wins, we mean you have used the Claim Assault or the Claim Debilitate at least 5 times. 

Once you have 5 wins under your belt, you can head over to the **Level Up** object which is on the right menu and Level Up the victorious Battledog. You can't miss it!

**More points to note**:

* [ ] Note that **Payout also requires 5 wins** in order to cash out your winnings. If you cash out your winnings first before you've leveled up your player, you may lose that opportunity to level up.
