Wuchang Fallen Feathers has a rather complex skill tree that might overwhelm you, especially as a beginner. During the early phases, it is quite easy to invest in the wrong skills, which can result in you getting thrashed by bosses. While offensive abilities are important, you might benefit from focusing on your survival skills in the wee hours of the game.

There are some skills in particular that you should unlock first to have an easier time. Spreading out your first few skill points across offense, survivability, and spell potency will let you grasp the game better. In this article, we will list five best skills that you should unlock first while playing Wuchang Fallen Feathers.

5 Best Skills to Unlock First in Wuchang Fallen Feathers

Here are five skills that you need to unlock first in Wuchang Fallen Feathers:

  • Manna Capacity
  • Manna Potency
  • First Weapon Upgrade
  • Alacrity
  • Vitality and Endurance

Here is a detailed description of these skills:

1) Manna Capacity

You should definitely unlock more charges for your Manna Flask from the skill tree first in Wuchang Fallen Feathers. Manna Flasks are your primary and most reliable way to heal in the game. Initially, you start off with only three charges, which can later be increased to more than 10 as you progress.

You will need Lost Remembrance to upgrade your Manna Flask in Wuchang Fallen Feathers. Luckily, the first one does not rest very far from your starting area at the Reverent Temple, and you can get it before your first boss fight as well.

2) Manna Potency

Manna Potency increases the heal from a single use of Manna Vase in Wuchang Fallen Feathers.

Manna Potency increases the amount of health recovered per use of the Manna Flask. This is another important skill that you need to unlock first in Wuchang Fallen Feathers. As your potency increases, you will also need to use the Manna Flask less. In turn, it massively boosts your survival abilities.

To upgrade your Manna Potency, you will need to find Lost Remains in the open world. Make sure to keep an eye out for any big, glowing chests and loot them to get this item.

3) First Weapon Upgrade

You must absolutely unlock the first node of the skill tree of your main weapon first in Wuchang Fallen Feathers. Each weapon has its own skill tree where you unlock powerful Disciplines down the line. However, the very first node after each weapon adds a crucial skill to it, which defines that weapon’s particular playstyle. As such, you must unlock your preferred weapon’s first node from the skill tree as early as possible.

4) Alacrity

Alacrity allows you to completely negate an enemy's incoming attack in Wuchang Fallen Feathers.

Alacrity is a game-changing skill that you must unlock first in Wuchang Fallen Feathers. The game does not have a conventional i-frame system, but Alacrity can help you achieve it at times. During certain actions, Alacrity will allow you to blend with the void if an enemy attacks you, completely negating the damage. Once you unlock Alacrity, various spells and even Discipline skills will integrate it, making you significantly more dynamic during battle.

5) Vitality And Endurance

Vitality and Endurance are two separate skills, and you need to make sure you upgrade both in Wuchang Fallen Feathers. Endurance increases your stamina, while Vitality increases your overall health. Do not focus on any one of these, since you will need Stamina to dodge a lot, especially till you unlock the parry mechanic.

Try to maintain around a 1:2 ratio of Stamina and Health, and upgrade your skills accordingly. This will let you be both agile and tanky while playing Wuchang Fallen Feathers.
