What are the best skills in Assassin's Creed Mirage?
The best skills in Assassin's Creed Mirage favour rapid kills and additional utility by way of tools. Just remember that the game is more linear, unlike its counterparts (i.e. Odyssey and Valhalla). As such, you only earn skill points by advancing the main quest or by obtaining Lost Books. You won't have a lot of skill points to spare, not until you're almost done with the campaign. However, you can always do a reset so you can reallocate your points.
Best Phantom skills
Phantom skills are for those that rely more on quick assassinations and getting into the thick of the fray in combat situations. Here are our recommendations (take note that you still need to acquire a prerequisite skill):
- Assassin's Focus Capacity 1 and 2 - Gain additional Focus pips so you can do rapid kills via the resource.
- Chain Assassination - After performing a normal assassination, you'll be able to toss a Throwing Knife for another quick kill.
- Counter Roll - Dodge toward an enemy when it does an unblockable attack so you can go behind them. This lets you strike down armoured foes if you weren't able to assassinate them prior to detection.
Best Trickster skills
Some of the best skills in Assassin's Creed Mirage are found in the Trickster branch, though try not to go overboard. This column has several perks for those that like using items and tools:
- Auto-Collect - This is the initial prerequisite skill, so you're bound to get it. This lets you automatically loot items after a stealth kill.
- Elixir Pocket - This is the only skill that grants an extra Elixir charge.
- Extra Tool Capacity 1 - You'll be able to unlock an extra tool/gadget, apart from the Torch and Throwing Knife, which are available as part of the campaign. We don't recommend getting the tier 2 and tier 3 variants early on, but we do recommend checking our best tools guide so you'll know which items to unlock and upgrade.
- Knife Recovery - This is easily one of the best Assassin's Creed Mirage skills. It lets you pick up a Throwing Knife that was used to hit an enemy. This is invaluable due to countless times you'd headshot foes or do Chain Assassinations.
Best Predator skills
The Predator skill tree has options that improve awareness, enemy detection, and spotting points of interest via your eagle, Enkidu.
- Pathfinder - You can't go wrong with this pick. This lets Enkidu discover and highlight keys, chests, and secret passageways.
- Emergency Aim - This slows down time so you can aim and throw a gadget at an enemy that has spotted you.
- Enkidu Acuity 2 - While not a priority, this is still helpful since it allows Enkidu to mark hostiles faster.
These are our picks when it comes to the Assassin's Creed Mirage best skills. You might have other choices based on your playstyle, but we believe these options are ideal for a smoother campaign run.
