The skill tree in Assassin's Creed Syndicate.
The skill tree is an in-game user interface that allows the player to upgrade the abilities of the twin AssassinsEvie and Jacob Frye. A total of 53 skills can be unlocked and are assigned to one of 3 trees, Combat, Stealth, or Ecosystem. Skill points are earned every time the player conducts a microtransaction or gains 1000 XP. In turn, the points are used to unlock skills, which are either passive in nature or require a command prompt to be activated. Additionally, there are three exclusive skills for each Assassin.[1] During her investigation into the murders in Whitechapel committed by Jack the Ripper, Evie used a selection of Fear skills learned from her time among the Indian Assassins.[2]
