AC Valhalla\u2019s skill tree takes a page from Skyrim, but in this case, you\u2019re looking at one giant tree (plus free skill reset). What are the best skill for stealth in AC Valhalla? What skills are best overall? Let\u2019s break it down here. Note that you\u2019ll be able to get every skill easily in the game, so don\u2019t feel like you have to pick and choose just a few.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The skills listed here are what you\u2019ll want to grab if you prefer a stealthy playstyle as soon as possible. Many of these are under the Raven tree and Wolf tree, and some were added later. Note that the DLC isn\u2019t required for the skills added in later patches, but you should still pick up the DLC just for abilities and items (Wrath of the Druids added the best armor for stealth in AC Valhalla<\/a>, and there are some great stealth abilities in AC Valhalla<\/a> that were added in both Wrath of the Druids and Siege of Paris).<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you play with always assassinate disabled in AC Valhalla (which you should since it makes stealthy play more challenging in a good way), you\u2019ll need Advanced Assassination. This makes it so you can play a minigame to assassinate higher-level foes that you otherwise wouldn\u2019t be able to assassinate with the hidden blade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Chain Assassination is somewhat limited in AC Valhalla compared to previous titles; you\u2019ll only be able to chain 1 additional kill, but in most cases that\u2019s all you\u2019ll need. This ends up letting you throw an axe and take out another foe after a successful assasination, assuming the foe isn\u2019t too close. If you need a 3rd, be sure to grab the Feign Death ability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Stealth Recon is a definite must-have skill; since marking enemies has changed from previous titles (you won\u2019t automatically mark enemies when you spot them), this allows you to have better situational awareness when clearing a camp stealthily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Emergency Aim, when combined with a predator bow, can essentially give you a 3rd chain assassination assuming your ranged damage is high. Don\u2019t neglect this!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Raven\u2019s Loot, added later, is an absolute game-changer. AC Valhalla relies on archery to flesh out stealthy playstyles, and given the limited arrow capacity for predator bows (you are using the best bow available for stealth in AC Valhalla<\/a>, aren\u2019t you?), this combined with the next skill will ensure you always have arrows available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Combined with Raven\u2019s Loot, this ensures you\u2019ll always get your arrows back after taking someone down with a bow. Grab it and snipe away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Again, keep your arrows stocked: Take out an archer first if you\u2019re low on arrows and you\u2019ll get a couple extra with the Raven\u2019s Loot.<\/p>\n\n\n\nAdvanced Assassination<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
