Swordmastery
Swordmastery is Coen's sword skill tree. Pieter taught him to fight with a blade, and this tree builds on that. It is the only tree that works both day and night, and many guides call it the strongest.

- What it does
- The sword skill tree. It covers defensive play and offensive combinations, by day or night.
Good to know
- New techniques come from manuals found on soldiers and bandits, or bought from fencers.
- Perks can push you toward defense and counters or toward speed and pressure.
- Skill points come from levelling up, and one pool is shared by all three trees.
- Learning or upgrading a skill costs skill points and in-game time.
- You learn skills at any road shrine.
- Since Update 1.1, the Draught of Mind Rebirth lets you forget all your abilities and spend the time on others.
- Master Fencer adds more Swordmastery ability slots.
Ultimate Perks
The tree has three Ultimate Perks, and you can learn only one. They unlock after spending 35 skill points here. Unlocking one earns Master of Arms.
The three ultimates
Last Stand boosts weapon damage while your health is very low. Sword Sage resets ability cooldowns. Tactical Mastery gives back some Activation Charge when you use an ability, which suits mixed builds.
Picks guides like
Charge closes distance and stuns. Artery Strike finishes. Renewed Focus, Adrenaline Rush and Walking Fortress keep charges flowing. Sustained Focus raises how many charges you hold.
