Here is a list of five of the best skills among the different skill branches to help you ace your gameplay in The Last of Us Part 2.

Skill trees are a prominent feature of any action-adventure game. It is no different in The Last of Us Part 2. With skills, you get to enhance the abilities of your character as the game progresses to tougher stages.
Having the option to unlock skills has two effects. It helps prevent the game from being too easy in the beginning and balances out your performance towards the end of the game. Let us take a look at five of the best skills to prioritise unlocking.
1) Listen Mode Movement Speed Skill

Listen mode is an absolutely important feature to keep using in the game. There is a skill that further enhances this already beautiful skill, which is the ‘listen mode movement speed.’ This acts as a game-changing skill to keep in hand during the early stages of the game.
When you are in listen mode, your character gets to hear the enemies around Ellie, as well as see them through walls as they move about. This helps you get a sense of where they are and plan your actions accordingly. The only drawback is the reduced speed of mobility. With this skill active, you would not have to worry about moving slowly.
2) Increased Health Skill

As the name suggests, increased health increases your health bar. This, in turn, allows you plenty of room for committing silly mistakes, which are at times unavoidable. Sometimes you may get cornered by a group of enemies, and making a dash for it is all you can do. This skill helps you cover more distance and have more chances of surviving such situations.
3) Craft Silencers Skill

Part of one of the most important skill branches in the game, crafting silencers is a very important skill. Clickers, the zombies in the game, are drawn to sound and sudden movements. They are quick to react, and using a loud weapon could prove to be hazardous. This is where silenced weapons come in handy.
While you could pick up some silenced weapons on your way, the chances of finding them are slim. Unlocking this skill allows you to craft pistol silencers. This gives you much more control during stealth scenarios.
4) Craft Improved Health Kits Skill

This is just as important as the ‘increased health’ skill. While keeping healthy is necessary, it is also important to keep your health in a condition to take more damage without having you meet your demise.
Health kits are rare to come across in the game, and hence, you cannot blindly depend on casually stumbling upon them. With this skill, you will be able to craft your very own health kits and continue your fights.
5) Faster Stealth Skills

There are a lot of situations that will arise where you find yourself surrounded by hordes of enemies or clickers. During such situations, quick movement is necessary. But more than quick movement, disposing of enemies at a speedy rate is crucial.
There are very few openings presented in the middle of their patterns where you get to execute someone without the other enemies being aware. This is exactly where this skill comes into play. With this skill and listening mode movement, you would be able to sway past your foes and clear out areas quickly.
