Effect is cumulative with HEART OF STONE.
A useful skill that is worth unlocking in the first place.
IRON HIDE
Take significantly less damage from explosions and fire.
Your opponents often use explosives to drive you out of your hiding place.
Therefore, it is a good idea to unlock this skill quite early.
DODGE COUNTER
Incapacitate unarmored opponents while dodging, by pressing Y button at the right moment.
This skill comes in handy, provided that you prefer a clearly combative approach.
EFFICIENT KILLER
Corpses of enemies killed in stealth are automatically looted for resources.
This skill is not too useful, because while sneaking, you have enough time to loot enemies manually.
you could also do this after you have eliminated a group of enemies within a given area.
FIELD MEDIC
Increases the speed of treating wounds.
Effects accumulate with FAST HEALER.
A useful skill, although not at the beginning of the game.
INNER POWER
One-time, instantaneous, health regeneration during combat, after you take critical damage.
A very useful skill that it is difficult to do without towards the end of the game.
DEADLY FORCE
Stealth finishers kill enemies much faster with the use of deadly force.
Press Y button to kill nearby, unaware opponents.
STEALTH LANDING
Landing after a jump is always stealthy and does not attract attention of the opponents.
In some cases, this may be useful, but it’s not necessary to learn it.
This skill can stash your life, several times during the game.
As soon as the prompt displays, press Y to attack.
If you want to expand your repertoire of stealth kills, this one is a good choice.
FAST HEALER
Your speed of treating wound is increased.
Effect cumulative with FIELD MEDIC.
HEART OF STONE
Lara takes significantly less damage from enemy fire and melee attacks.
The effect is cumulative with THICK SKINNED.
One of the skills that you, simply, need to learn as soon as possible.
ADRENALINE
Temporarily increases your resistance to damage taken from enemies, after a stealth kill.
If your stealth kill is successful, there is little reason to fear immediate detection.
This is what makes this skill of little use.
SILENT KILLER
Allows you to kill enemies silently, without attracting attention of the other ones nearby.
Whenever possible, have a go at step lightly.
Eliminate the opponents in the way that does not expose you to the rest of them.
In such case, there is no point in unlocking this skill.
It can be useful, but only in the later part of the game.
This skill is of a rather limited usefulness.
