Kingdom Come: Deliverance – Combat Skills
Combat Skills in Kingdom Come: Deliverance is one of the 4 means through which the players can develop their characters. These skills will increase when you use them much like in Oblivion or Skyrim. These skills include things like Axe and Bow and even Warfare and Defence. Reaching higher levels in a Skill will unlock Perks the player can take, further improving their effectiveness with said Skill.
Visit Sir Bernard near the Combat Arena in Rattay and ask him to give you combat practice. This will not only allow you to raise your character’s Combat Skills but, more importantly, will provide you with an opportunity to get comfortable with all combat features before you venture into danger. Take your time and don’t rush into the fray unprepared. Be sure to return to Captain Bernard as you progress through the game, as he is the only character who can walk you through advanced fighting techniques like Combos and Master Strikes. These abilities make combat much more fun and are helpful when fighting overwhelming odds or higher-level opponents.
