Assassin’s Creed Valhalla: Combat skills guide

I’ve split up this guide into multiple parts to explain the mechanics of leveling and earning skill points, as well as the various perks that you can obtain. After reading up on that, you could take a look at the combat skills you can unlock as you progress. Finally, the last part of the guide deals with the ideal skill picks.

As usual, click on the page for the mechanic or content that you need help with:

• I. The basics
• II. The Bear (red skills)
• III. The Raven (yellow skills)
• IV. The Wolf (blue skills)
• V. Ideal skill picks and ratings

Note: Skills are different from abilities that are also used during combat. While skills are obtained as you level, abilities only come from Books of Knowledge. The feature will be discussed in another guide.
