In the early game, focus on skills that provide immediate benefits and open up new tactical options. 'Takedown' (Heron) is essential for stealth kills. 'Health Boost' (Shark) increases your survivability. 'Sprint while healing' (Spider) is a lifesaver in combat. 'Heavy Takedown' (Heron) allows you to stealth kill armored enemies. 'Chained Takedown' (Heron) is incredibly powerful for clearing groups silently. These skills will make your initial encounters much easier and allow you to earn XP more efficiently, accelerating your overall progression through the skill tree.
