Passive Skills

Learn about passive skills in Dungeonborne! Discover how they work, how to acquire them by meeting stat targets, and how they complement your active abilities and gear.

Hey there! So, you're diving into the world of Dungeonborne and wondering about those passive skills? Let's break it down, friend-to-friend. Think of your character's abilities in two main ways: the flashy active skills you trigger with keys like Q and E, and the passive skills that are always working in the background. Active skills are your game-changers, the big moves that can swing a fight. Some of these you can even swap out! Now, passive skills are a bit different. You don't exactly 'choose' them like you do an active ability. Instead, you earn or improve them by hitting certain stat targets. As you meet these numbers, your passive skills get better, making you stronger without you having to press a button. It's also worth remembering that your weapon choice matters a lot. Each weapon has its own attack patterns and blocking capabilities. Getting a handle on your weapon's block is key, especially if you're aiming for those satisfying 'perfect parries.' And if you're rocking an orb in your offhand, you'll unlock even more weapon-specific moves, like ice spikes from a mace or an ice glaive from a sword. Keep experimenting with your gear and skills – that's how you really start to master the combat in Dungeonborne!
