Early game is essential for selecting the correct abilities and skill tree branches in Assassin's Creed Valhalla. This guide will help players select the best abilities to focus on first. Assassin's Creed: Valhalla is the new major entry in the Assassin's Creed franchise. Prior to 2018, Ubisoft would release a new game in the series every year. In the mid-2010s, fans began to feel the burnout of releasing a new entry of the series, as new titles were riddled with glitches and game-breaking bugs. From this, Ubisoft began to release new mainline titles bi-yearly, giving their teams time to work out any bugs and spend time developing the game to make it the best it could possibly be. It has been 2 years since the release of Assassin's Creed Odyssey, the last mainline title of the series. Players are able to level up their skills and adapt their skill points to whatever they want. Here are the best abilities to focus on early on.
Assassin's Creed Valhalla's skill tree is broken down into three different skills, Stealth, Melee, and Ranged. Players will be able to complete main and side stories to level up and earn skill points. After every level, players will be given 2 skill points to put at any branch of the skill tree they like. For first-time players, they may put their abilities in a random area on their skill tree without fully understanding how they work. This guide will give the best abilities to focus on early in the game.
The Best Skills To Get Early On In Assassin's Creed Valhalla
Here are the best skills players should put skill points into.
- Advanced Assassination: This allows players to play a small mini-game to take down larger enemies. Since players will be taking down hundreds of enemies in the game. This is great to grab early on making it easier to take down a wide variety of weapons.
- Auto-Loot: For every kill, the drops from enemies will immediately be put in the player's pockets. This makes collecting loot faster and easier than ever.
- Breakfall: Instead of breaking your ankles with every fall, this will cause the player to roll after a large jump. In an open world like this, being able to break your fall makes things much easier for getting around.
- Heavy Dual Wield: Players will be able to hold 2 Heavy weapons at the same time. It's great for those players who want to throw out the stealth aspect and focus on combat.
Assassin's Creed Valhalla has been praised for its story and graphics but falls short due to technical issues. Glitches and bugs have plagued the Assassin's Creed series for years but players continue to the series for fundamentally what it is, one of the better stealth experiences out there. Since Ubisoft has decided to take 2-year breaks between Assassin's Creed releases, hopefully, these bugs and errors can be a thing of the past. It's still one of Ubisoft's most popular series.
Assassin's Creed: Valhalla is available now on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC, and Google Stadia.
