Kingdom Come: Deliverance – Best Combat Skills To Level Up

by

As a dedicated gamer, I can’t contain my excitement about the upcoming sequel to “Kingdom Come: Deliverance,” which is set to release in 2025! If you haven’t already, now’s the perfect time to immerse yourself in this captivating historical medieval RPG or revisit it if you’ve taken a break. The characters and themes from the first game will be expanded upon in the sequel, making it an even richer experience for all of us who love delving into the intricacies of the medieval world.

In the original game, players take on the role of Henry, the blacksmith’s son from Skalitz. By 2025, Henry will have grown stronger and more experienced, making him a formidable force to be reckoned with in the sequel. I, for one, can’t wait to see how his journey continues!

As I embark on my first adventure, it becomes apparent that good ol’ Henry ain’t no born sword-wielder. To truly excel at the immersive melee combat this game offers, I gotta hone seven distinct combat skills. Sure, beefing up Henry’s raw physical prowess with Strength and Agility is crucial, but enhancing his combat skills will significantly boost the harm he can inflict and make him a harder nut to crack in a brawl.

7. Axe

Chop Down Foes

Axe Trainers and locations:

  • Captain Bernard (Rattay)
  • Andrew (Inn in the Glade)

In the game “Kingdom Come: Deliverance,” enhancing Henry’s Axe proficiency improves his ability to wield axes such as the Broad Axe and Cuman Axe, boosting the strength of his attacks. The Axe skill features three upgrade points, which can be accessed at levels 7, 14, and 20, allowing for the introduction of new combat moves with each level-up.

In the game, it’s not crucial to boost the Axe proficiency as there are limited axes and they are generally weaker than maces and swords. Yet, axes shine when it comes to handling weak or unarmored adversaries, making it potentially beneficial to enhance in the initial stages of play where Henry will often encounter less armored enemies.

6. Unarmed

Become A Brawl Star

Unarmed Trainers and locations:

  • Fritz (Sasau, Ledetchko, Inn in the Glade)
  • Punch (Sasau)
  • Fisherman of Uzhitz (Uzhitz)

In the course of his thrilling escapades, Henry might find himself involved in some physical altercations. Therefore, investing effort into mastering unarmed combat techniques could be beneficial as it may enhance his chances of victory during these encounters. Improving his unarmed skill will also boost the amount of damage he inflicts with each punch.

In the course of playing Kingdom Come: Deliverance, players may encounter instances where they’re disarmed or forced into a fight from a cutscene, and it’s essential for Henry to emerge victorious to escape danger. Additionally, boosting the unarmed skill at the game’s onset can help earn some coin by triumphing in a fighting tournament held in Rattay early on.

5. Mace

Smash Through Armor

Mace Trainers and locations:

  • Sir Robard (Talmberg)

In the game Kingdom Come: Deliverance, the Mace ability is analogous to the Axe skill, and you can unlock the same set of three combat maneuvers at levels 7, 14, and 20 through perks. The move “Drei Wunder: Forearm” specifically needs a Mace level of 14 to be accessed. As Henry’s Mace proficiency increases, he will inflict more damage with these moves, as well as war hammers and clubs.

One advantage of improving the Mace skill over the Axe skill is that more weapon types are enhanced by it, particularly in comparison. Moreover, Maces are highly effective weapons due to their ability to inflict substantial damage on heavily armored opponents. In the game’s advanced stages, Henry will frequently encounter bandit groups donning plate armor. Consequently, a Mace can serve as an efficient tool for defeating these adversaries.

4. Bow

Thin Out Their Numbers From Range

Bow trainers and locations:

  • Vanyek (Vranik)
  • Berthold (Rattay)
  • Nicholas Angel (Talmberg)

In the game “Kingdom Come: Deliverance,” mastering the Bow skill is crucial if you want Henry to make full use of archery. This skill enhances the power of any bow he carries. Unlike other combat skills, there are no special abilities to unlock with Bow; instead, it only improves its efficiency. At lower levels, up to 5, Henry won’t be able to handle a bow correctly without wearing vambraces or armor to prevent injury. At level 10, when drawing a bow, the camera view will zoom in, and this zoom effect becomes more pronounced at levels 15 and 20.

As a seasoned gamer, I’ve learned that boosting my Bow skill isn’t just about accuracy—it also reduces the wobble when pulling an arrow, saving me precious stamina during each shot. What’s more, my Bows gain extra advantages from both Strength and Agility skills. In the gritty world of Kingdom Come: Deliverance, a well-aimed Bow can be a game-changer, whether it’s thinning out enemy camps or luring specific foes away from their companions.

3. Defense

It’s Just A Flesh Wound

Defense trainers and locations:

  • Captain Bernard (Rattay)
  • Sir Robard (Talmberg)

In the game ‘Kingdom Come: Deliverance’, the Defense skill enhances Henry’s resilience, making it more challenging for him to be injured. This enhancement functions similarly to an upgrade in his armor. Moreover, it extends the duration Henry has to evade or execute a perfect block, and boosts the defensive capabilities of his weapons and shields. At levels 4, 8, 12, 16, and 20, Henry gains Defense-related perks, with some becoming available from level 12 onwards.

Mastering defense techniques is vital for Henry in battles, allowing him to endure longer fights and gain an advantage over opponents. It’s recommended that players immediately seek training from Captain Bernard to acquire the Perfect Block and Master Strike abilities, which are essential for securing victories in duels. Enhancing Henry’s Defense skill can also boost his Charisma and lessen the weight of items he carries.

2. Sword

Master The Blade

Sword trainers and locations:

  • Captain Bernard (Rattay)
  • Sir Robard (Talmberg)

In keeping with expectations, mastering the Sword skill is crucial in the game Kingdom Come: Deliverance, given that swords are the most frequently utilized weapon category, encompassing Shortswords, Longswords, Hunting Swords, and Sabres. Notably, swords boast a total of eight distinct moves, more than any other weapon type. The advantages of these skills become accessible at levels 3, 5, 8, 10, 13, 15, 18, and 20.

In the game Kingdom Come: Deliverance, it’s primarily swords that players will rely on, given the variety of four different types. Pairing a shortsword with a shield offers enhanced defense, while hunting swords prove effective against lightly armored adversaries. Longswords are particularly destructive, boasting powerful four-attack combinations. As Henry’s Sword skill level increases, his damage output improves and he gains access to additional combo attacks.

1. Warfare

Conquer The Battlefield

Warfare trainers and locations:

  • None – trained through all combat

Regardless if a player decides to have Henry specialize in swordsmanship, wielding a mace, or hand-to-hand combat, mastering the Warfare skill is crucial for enhancing Henry’s overall combative abilities. The Warfare skill enhances Henry’s general effectiveness in fights involving all kinds of weapons and unarmed techniques. It offers five perks at levels 4, 8, 12, 16, and 20, with a total of six to choose from. At level 0, Henry can pull enemies off their horses, and he gains the feint ability after training under Captain Bernard.

Enhancing Henry’s Warfare ability significantly boosts his effectiveness in battles. This upgrade makes his attacks quicker and more challenging for opponents to evade or obstruct, while also reducing the likelihood of his weapons getting damaged when striking or parrying.

If Henry’s weapons get damaged, the Rusty Edge Warfare bonus boosts the likelihood of an enemy getting poisoned by them instead.
