How to Increase Combat Strength in Avatar

Learn the best ways to increase your Combat Strength in Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora by upgrading gear, unlocking skills, and improving health. Get stronger now!

Alright, so you're diving into Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora and want to make sure you're not getting smacked around by every scavenger and banshee you meet, right? Combat Strength is basically your character's level, and if it's too low, you'll find yourself struggling against enemies and quests that are tougher than they need to be. You'll want your Combat Strength to at least match your opponents, or be a little higher to have an easier time.

You can check your current Combat Strength anytime by hitting the menu button, heading over to the 'Character' tab, and looking at the top right corner. To see how strong an enemy is, just scan them using your Na’vi Sense.

So, how do you actually get stronger? There are a few key ways:

• Upgrading Equipment: This is your biggest bang for your buck. Finding better gear or crafting upgrades for what you already have will give you a significant boost.
• Unlocking New Skills: While skills don't boost your Combat Strength as much as gear, you can grab a lot of them pretty quickly by finding Tarsyu Flowers and Saplings scattered all over Pandora.
• Increasing Max Health: You can also improve your overall survivability, which indirectly helps, by finding and interacting with Bellsprigs.

The absolute easiest way to boost your Combat Strength fast is by improving your Armor and Weapons. You can find loot by clearing out RDA Outposts and restoring Field Labs. Alternatively, you can head to Crafting Benches, which are usually found in settlements like the Aranahe Hometree. Just be prepared to do some serious exploring to gather the necessary crafting materials!

Don't forget to actually equip your best gear! Your Combat Strength won't go up if your best armor and weapons are just sitting in your inventory. Always make sure you're sporting your most powerful loadout.

When it comes to gear quality, it's split into categories: Basic, Fine, Superior, and Exquisite. Naturally, you'll want to aim for the Exquisite gear whenever possible. You won't start seeing the highest quality gear until you're a good way into the game, but you can still improve the stats on your current equipment by crafting duplicates using Pristine Materials. This can make a big difference!
