Avowed can be considered a typical cookie-cutter RPG that has all the elements but does not contribute anything new to the genre. However, Avowed implements all of those elements well enough to provide a fun and engaging time. Throughout the journey, you will have to level up, travel, and complete many main and side quests, which means that you should start investing in the right skills from the beginning of the game. In this guide, we will mention all the best early game skills to unlock in Avowed.

The Best Early Game Skills in Avowed You Should Invest From The Start

Let’s start with addressing the fact that Avowed does not have the most comprehensive skill tree in the genre. The skill tree is not as big as some of the other titles in the genre either. Additionally, you will primarily have three class options to choose from: Fighter, Wizard, and Ranger. So now let’s take a look at the skills you should invest in for all the classes.

1) Barbaric Shout (Fighter)

Hardcore players of the RPG genre will be familiar with this, as it is one we have seen in other games including Skyrim. It is a useful skill, nonetheless. When you use this, your character will catch enemies off guard with a loud shout, which will give you a better chance to stun them. Barbaric Shout will help you a lot in the early-game fights. This game skill in Avowed is notably useful against large enemies such as Ogres.

2) Bristling Forst (Wizard)

For this early-game skill, you will have to unlock the Grimoire Master first. Upon using Bristling Frost, you will surround yourself with ice, increasing your defense stats and damaging any enemy who touches you. It is evident that this skill is quite effective in combat, but it also has use in exploration. Avowed has an interesting physics system where players can freeze water with ice magic. So, you can easily run across any water body with Bristling Frost.

3) Fan of Flames (Wizard)

We have yet another Wizard spell on our list. Fan of Flames will enable you to conjure fire with your hands and spray it at an enemy. At first, the spell will only work for one hand, but after upgrading you should be able to shoot fire with both hands. Additionally, if you do not want to spend points to upgrade the skill, then you can equip Grimoire inside the Fan of Flames cast which will unlock the 2nd Tier of the spell.

4) Survivalist (Ranger)

If you have a Ranger character, then we highly recommend this early game skill for Avowed. The Survivalist Abilily can be quite important in the early stages of the game because it enables the players to find more health potions or food in the world of Avowed. This skill goes very well with Avowed’s inventory system because food does not take any of your space. So you can have a hundred cucumbers or eggs or any food item in your inventory and never go hungry again.

5) Tanglefoot (Ranger)

When you level for the first time in Avowed you will be given three choices. You can pick Charge, Minor Missile, or Tanglefoot. Out of these three, we recommend that you go with Tanglefoot. With the help of this skill, you will be able to trap enemies with vines. Once the enemies are stuck, they won’t be able to move for a few seconds, which will give you the perfect time to do a powerful attack.

6) Toughness (Fighter)

You will be getting into a lot of fights in Avowed, and you will need a good amount of health to win. You can heal yourself with spells and potions but you can also boost your health even before you head into battle. And the Toughness skill does exactly that. If you have a fighter character, then this skill will boost your health by 20%, and it is permanent. This will help you gain a major advantage during your encounters with the enemies and that is why it is one of the Best Early Game Skills in Avowed.
