The icon for the Attack Speed upgrade

Each of the above can be upgraded 8 times (13 times with Extreme Mastery unlocked), costing more tokens the higher the upgrade tier.

In total to max out all sections it would cost 561 (2229 including Mastery upgrades), with each section being about 80 each.

Trivia

• All upgrades cost the same when upgraded to the max level. This does not apply to mastery upgrades.
