The skill tree is an in-game user interface that allows players 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, Stealth, Ranged, or Health. Skill points are earned when the player completes both main story and co-op missions, and some skills can only be found in the co-op missions.[1]
