Like any good RPG, Avowed features dozens of character abilities that you can unlock by leveling up. Every time you gain a new level, you can unlock a new ability. The character abilities in Avowed are split up into four categories: Fighter, Ranger, Wizard, and Godlike. However, the Godlike abilities can’t be unlocked normally like the other three categories. So, for the most part, you’re left to unlock abilities from Fighter, Ranger, and Wizard.
While these do represent the three main combat styles in Avowed, it’s important to note that the abilities in each category can be useful for any combat style you use. For example, just because you primarily use melee weapons doesn’t mean you only have to unlock abilities from the Fighter category. In fact, the other two trees feature abilities that can vastly improve the melee combat style, and vice versa.
With this in mind, it might be daunting to try and navigate the different ability trees in Avowed when you’re first starting out. Fortunately, we’ve put together a list of the first five abilities you should target. These abilities are great for any playstyle and give you an edge in the early part of the game.
