DK has various different skills in Donkey Kong Bananza that you can unlock to make him stronger. Here are the details.
Players can earn Skill Points in Donkey Kong Bananza by collecting Banandium Gems. They can then spend such points to unlock and upgrade different skills for DK in the game. The perks that come with it can potentially change how you play the game and make everyone’s favorite 3D Ape even stronger than before.
In addition to that, every skill has a different effect. For example, some of them might make you better at combat, while others improve your health or your ability to spot collectibles. In this article, we have provided a list for all DK Skills in Donkey Kong Bananza, including the regular ones as well as the ancient ones.
