Tips

usage
Two distinct senses: (1) RPG sense — allocate level-up points to stats (智力 INT, 力量 STR, 体力 STA, 敏捷 AGI). (2) Workplace sense (per CC-CEDICT) = work overtime, derived from 'add hours/dots'. Context separates them; gaming context dominates online.
culture
加点 is core to RPG vocabulary in Chinese: 加点方案 (build), 重置加点 (reset/respec), 满级加点 (max-level build). Major Chinese games like 世界 and have entire forum sections dedicated to 加点攻略.
