Skill Tree (Assassin's Creed: Odyssey)

The skill tree is an in-game user interface that allows the player to upgrade the abilities of Kassandra or Alexios during the Peloponnesian War. A total of 44 skills can be unlocked and, not counting the 9 separate baseline abilities, are assigned to one of 3 trees: Hunter, Warrior, or Assassin. Skill points are earned every time the player levels up, interacts with an ancient stele, or completes certain objectives in the downloadable expansion The Fate of Atlantis. In turn, the points are used to unlock skills, which are either passive in nature or require a command prompt to be activated.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey
A maximum of 12 individual skills can be equipped at any time, split evenly between the 2 Melee and 1 Ranged Ability Wheels. The path through the trees is not linear, with players able to allocate points anywhere as they see fit. All abilities have three levels of upgrades, the lowest level needing 1 Skill Point to unlock and higher levels needing more. With the exceptions of Fire Mastery and Poison Mastery, no skill has an absolute requirement of another particular prerequisite.
Ability Enhancements are Isu artifacts located in Atlantis that modify and empower Abilities. To activate an ability enhancement, the related ability must be fully upgraded to rank 3.

==Behind the scenes==
Despite the player character possessing a set of skills under the Assassin category, the use of the word is anachronistic. "Assassin" comes from the Romanization of asāsīn (أساسين) in Arabic, a language from the Semitic branch of the Afro-Asiatic language family that has its earliest stages date to c.9th century BC. In contrast, Greek is from the Hellenic branch of the Indo-European language family and is significantly older, its own proto-stages dating to c.3200 BC.
Datamined files reveal a cut skill named "Combat Guard" with the descriptions of different tiers as follows:
Skill 	Description 	Upgrade 1 	Upgrade 2
Combat Guard	All damage is absorbed and enemies cannot interrupt attacks for {0} seconds, or until the guard breaks. The guard's protection lasts for {1}% of maximum Health.	All damage is absorbed and enemies cannot interrupt attacks for {0} seconds, or until the guard breaks. The guard's protection lasts for {1}% of maximum Health.
