The Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order skill tree isn’t as complex as other single-player, story-focused games, but choosing the best skills to unlock can still be quite daunting, especially for people who aren’t used to action-adventure titles such as this one. For role-playing and action-adventure games, the skill tree is a core element that can make or break the overall experience, and while there are quite a few skills to unlock in Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, there are also some limitations.

Players begin earning XP for killing enemies (and animals) in Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order once they reach the planet Bogano, which comes right after the prologue is completed and Cal Ketsis briefly duels with the Second Sister. But note that all the XP that players earn will be lost – though not the skill point they earn – if they die without saving the game first. So it’s best to always take a moment to save the game, or be more cautious around tougher enemies, in order to preserve the XP.

Completing the Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order skill tree will take time, and choosing which skills to unlock can be difficult. Furthermore, some skills can be unlocked naturally after acquiring a prerequisite skill, while others – the vast majority of higher tier skills – can only be unlocked once they become available after Cal progresses through the story a bit more. When that happens, choose the following skills as these are the best skills to unlock in Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order:

  • Dash Strike (1 Skill Point)
  • Sprint Strike (1 Skill Point)
  • Grasping Pull (1 Skill Point)
  • Switch Attack (1 Skill Point)
  • Agile Deflection (1 Skill Point)
  • Personalized Stims (2 Skill Points)
  • The Power of Friendship (3 Skill Points)
  • Lightsaber Throw (3 Skill Points)
  • Lightsaber Mastery (3 Skill Points)
