Fortunately, you don’t have to wait exactly until you’ve obtained the recommended power.

you could start exploring the territory even if you currently have a slightly lower power.

We described this mechanism in more detail on theSuggested region Powerpage in the FAQ section.

PC

Individual enemies may be stronger than the Power of the region they are in.

This includes zealots or legendary animals.

Character development is related to the accumulation of skill points, which can also be called development points.

PC

you’re free to get 2 skill points every time you level up.

Eivor’s power is increased by spending skill points on the development tree.

Only the points spent count.

PC

Development points spent on the skill tree are not allocated permanently.

The tree has the main skills and stat bonuses.

Regardless of the pop in of item on the tree, unlocking it always costs 1 skill point.

PC

So you’re free to’t, for example, purchase a skill that is farther on the tree.

Main skills unlock new types of attacks and moves.

The main skills do not consume adrenaline, although they can deplete the stamina bar.

PC

A unique category of skills on the tree are new adrenaline bar slotsfor activating abilities.

The stats bonuses are passive, so you do not need to activate them in any way.

Most of them improve some single statistic, such as damage for stealth attacks or health bar length.

PlayStation

They can give you a big stats boost if you wear the “matching” armor pieces.

Almost every skill and stat bonus is useful.

In AC Valhalla, you have full freedom when creating a character build.

Xbox

It can be a very versatile character or one that focuses on one area or one fighting technique.

you’re able to recharge your adrenaline by attacking enemies and eating mushrooms found in the game world.

you might also get more adrenaline bar slots on the skill tree.

Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla

you’re free to unlock abilities primarily by finding books of knowledge.

Finding a second book for the same ability will enhance its effect or unlock its additional feature (e.g.

releasing more arrows).

Alternatively, you could also gain abilities by completing specific quests and additional activities.

In such situations, you don’t have to get the book of knowledge to learn the ability.

you might’t use all your abilities at all times.

You have to assign them to the buttons/keys.

You should have different abilities set up just to be ready for different threats.

it’s possible for you to find a full summary of abilities in our world atlas.

We also described the abilities in more detail on one of the pages of the FAQ chapter.

Gear

Eivor’s gear does not affect their power, i.e.

the power stat will not change regardless of what weapons and armor you have equipped.

This does not mean, of course, that choosing and upgrading gear is unimportant.

you better spend crafting materials to upgrade your equipment.

By advancing items to higher quality levels, you increase the number of maximum upgrades and unlock rune slots.

For more information, kindly see the pageImproving your equipment.

Runes are items that you could place in the sockets of gear of superior quality or higher.

We have covered this topic in more detail on theRunesandIngotspages.

The gear you find can be part of a set.

The game rewards you for equipping several or, better yet, all items from the same set.

The bonus lasts, of course, only as long as you wear items representing the same set.
