Between two characters, both with six distinct skill trees each, you're spoilt for choice in Assassin's Creed Shadows. There's everything from brutal counters to a bamboo shoot which lets you stealth underwater. Picking the best skills is no easy task, especially since many of the high-level skills actually have unique unlock requirements attached. Plus, you can only have two weapon skills and two character skills equipped at once as well, forcing you to make tough decisions.
At the start of the game, all you'll need are mastery and knowledge points to unlock new skills. Later on though, as you get your eyes more powerful skills, you'll also need to meet various quest milestones.
