Grasp dictates how many Arcana Cards you can equip in *Hades 2*. When you first start the game, you will have 10 Grasp, which is rather low considering how quickly you can acquire the cards. To increase your Grasp and equip more or higher-cost cards, you’ll need to upgrade it using the in-game currency, Psyche. However, where and how to upgrade Grasp isn’t immediately obvious.
## How to Upgrade Grasp
Grasp upgrades are done through the Arcana Card screen before you embark on another run through Erebus. When you enter the preparation area, select **Meditate** at the gate to open the Arcana Card selection screen.
Once there, navigate to the top-right corner of the screen where your current Grasp is displayed. You can spend Psyche here to extend your Grasp, allowing you to equip more Arcana Cards or the ones that have higher costs.
## Choosing Which Cards to Equip
With an upgraded Grasp stat, you have more flexibility in building your loadout. You can either equip a greater number of lower-cost cards or opt for fewer, more expensive cards that offer stronger benefits. The choice ultimately depends on your preferred playstyle, as some expensive cards provide powerful abilities, while multiple single-cost cards can also be very effective.
## Earning Psyche to Upgrade Grasp
Upgrading Grasp requires a significant amount of Psyche. You can earn Psyche through various means, such as purchasing it from the Wretched Broker or by using the Tablet of Peace Gathering Tool.
Keep in mind that the first few Grasp upgrades require around 45 Psyche each, but maxing it out will demand thousands of Psyche. Planning your upgrades carefully will help you make the most of your resources as you progress through *Hades 2*.
