Best Skills to Learn in Greedfall
You can start off by using the Warrior Skill. The Warrior Skill Tree is by far one of the strongest skill trees you’ll find in Greedfall. Using this skill tree provides you with additional strength and following it up with a Roll can surely help you dodge the opponent’s attacks and claim the victory.
Next up is using the Magic Skill Tree as it not only provides magical abilities but also with the help of Magical Healing, provides additional health points.
Lastly, the Technical Skill Tree can benefit you with the use of the Shadow Impact attack. This attack; along with dropping the enemies down, also helps in making the enemies weaker to damage.
How to Reset Skills in Greedfall
Memory Crystal is an easy way to reset your skills. Simply head over to the Character Development Menu, go to the Talents section and come across your favorite option known as the “Reset Skills”. Make sure to check the number of Memory Crystals you have before resetting. To do so, check the bottom left corner.
If you’re short on Memory Crystals then defeating mini-bosses, main bosses and optional bosses can provide you with a good number of Memory Crystals.
