Skill Tree (Assassin's Creed: Unity)

For skill trees in other Assassin's Creed games, see Skill tree.

The skill tree is an in-game user interface that allows the player to upgrade the abilities of the French Assassin Arno Dorian. A total of 25 skills can be unlocked and are assigned to one of 4 trees, Melee, Ranged, Stealth, or Health. Skill points are earned when the player accomplishes specific activities in the main story or in co-op, and some skills are only found in co-op.
