Assassin's Creed Origins Abilities & Skills Revealed
The ability skill points tree list for Assassin’s Creed Origins reveals three specific branches that you can invest points into. They are called Master Warrior, Hunter and Seer. Each experience level gives you one ability point you can spend for skills. The majority of abilities cost one ability point, while some are more expensive, costing two or three points.
The full list is shown on Gamespot, where you can check out what the skill tree looks like. The most interesting part is how well they are all organized. At the start, it seems you must invest into the first two major abilities. From there, you can acquire talents from any of the three skill trees. Since they are all connected, in order to reach the top-most one, you need to invest into the ones that lead up to it. Here’s the breakdown of the skills we found most interesting, and which abilities they give you.
