Skill Tree & Force Skills
The Skill Tree in Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is Cal Kestis's primary means of growth and customization. By earning experience points through combat and exploration, Cal gains skill points that can be invested in various branches of the tree to unlock new abilities, enhance existing ones, and improve his combat effectiveness and survivability.
The Skill Tree is divided into several categories, primarily focusing on Lightsaber Combat, Force Powers, and Survival. Each category offers a unique set of upgrades that cater to different playstyles. Players must make strategic choices about which skills to prioritize, as investing in one branch may mean delaying progress in another.
Skill Tree Categories
| Category | Focus | Example Skills |
|---|---|---|
| Lightsaber Combat | Enhances melee attacks, combos, and defensive maneuvers. | Flurry Strike, Advanced Parry, Riposte |
| Force Powers | Improves the potency, duration, and utility of Force abilities. | Force Slow Duration, Push/Pull Strength, Repulse |
| Survival | Boosts Cal's health, Force meter, and healing capabilities. | Improved Health, Increased Force Meter, Extra Stim Canister |
Force Skills are a sificant part of the Skill Tree, allowing players to deepen Cal's connection to the Force. These skills often unlock new ways to interact with the environment, control enemies, or augment Cal's offensive capabilities. For example, upgrades to Force Push and Pull can increase their range and impact, while enhancements to Force Slow can provide crucial openings in combat.
consider their preferred combat style when allocating skill points. Those who favor aggressive melee might focus on Lightsaber Combat skills, while players who rely heavily on Force powers will want to invest in the Force Powers category. Survival skills are universally beneficial, providing a buffer against difficult encounters. Experimenting with different skill builds can lead to discovering new and effective combat strategies.
