What are the best skills in Ghost of Yotei – Techniques and abilities guide
Before we continue with our guide proper, let’s talk about the main categories for your abilities. These are all found in the Growth menu:
- Core – These are basic actions–i.e. grappling hook, parry, dodge, and the like–that are automatically available.
- Onryo – The skill trees here pertain to stealthy takedowns and ranged combat.
- Melee – These skill trees are tied to a particular weapon. The nodes only become available once you’ve acquired additional weapon types.
- Revenge – These abilities are related to counterattacks, thrown items, and even mounted combat.
- Wolf – These perks have offensive and support utility as they pertain to your wolf companion.
Note: The vast majority of skills are unlocked by praying at Altars of Reflection, which means you really need to be mindful of the techniques that you select. Wolf perks, meanwhile, are unlocked by tackling Wolf Den activities.
