Skill routing in Avowed allows player to allocate points to different skill trees to manage their character’s damage and defense capability. There are three main skill tree in Avowed: the fighter tree, ranger tree, and wizard tree. Players can use the fighter tree to gain guard ratings to tank damage for their character.
However, if the player dont have an wizard cooldowns necessary to interrupt there enemies, then the fighter may not provide enough defense. The ranger tree provides critical hit chain at a distance from enemies while the wizard tree allows for denial of areas in the game. These three tree have some similarities but also require players to use a form of hybrid thinking when choosing how to allocate their skill points because the weapons and regions that they encounter will impact the value of each skill tree.
Pick a Skill Tree and Manage Stamina and Essence
Players must manage their essence and stamina resource. Players need to manage their essence because essence regeneration will allow for the players to fully utilize their wizard loops. These wizard loops allow them to use there spells at a fast rate.
Stamina allows the fighter to continue performing swings without tiring. If players do not manage their essence or stamina properley, they may experience drought of these resources. This will cause their damage to stall.
Their execution profile will dictate how often players can land there ranger accuracy shot or their wizard essence burst. The density of enemies will also dictate the use of the skill tree. If there are few enemies in the area, the ranger can use their abilities to stay at a distance from their enemies.
If the number of enemies is high, the wizard will use their skills for crowd control. They will use their skill cooldowns to reduce the damage that the enemies can do to them. Fighters are good at duels because their guard rating will increase the number of times that they can parry the attacks from their opponents.
However, they will struggle against bosses that has high armor rating unless they have access to bleed uptime. Hybrid builds such as trickster builds will require the support of melee backup to fill the gap that their builds have in their abilities. The weapons that a player utilize will also have an impact on the players decision for which skill trees to use.
Players using a sword and shield will use less essence which is useful for players who want to create a more balanced character. Greatswords require more stamina so players who use these weapons will have to allocate more skill points to the fighter skill tree. Weapons such as an arquebus allow the player to perform dodge steps but have low stagger so they are best used in conjunction with critical hit chains from the ranger tree.
Players who use grimoire setups will require higher level of essence so they will not fail if their essence regeneration levels is unable to meet the requirement of these weapons. Players can increase their survivability by dodging enemies to create space between themselves and their opponents. They can use the parry rate of their character to increase there melee capability.
Damage score are used to determine how much damage a player can deal with each of the different skill trees. Additionally, these damage scores will also take into account the impact that the terrain can have on there damage. Players should not focus solely on increasing their damage.
Without the proper cooldowns and regeneration skills, players will eventually run out of resource during combat waves with enemies. Certain regions in the game will require the players to use some skill trees more than others. For instance, the Emerald Stair region will require players to use there ranger skills while regions like the endgame sieges will require the players to use their wizard skills.
Players can use the combat preset in the game to start there builds but will have to tinker with these skills based off their own accuracy in the game and their own skill in using the abilities together. Players should also test there own skill routing abilities to see how well they work with the players playstyle in the game.
