Dear Sunborn,
At their core, RPGs like Second Sun are focused on choices for the player. With their myriad of weapons, load-outs, and quest lines, they invite different playstyles, allowing players to choose the one that works best for them. Skills are another key factor in this modular system: while leveling up and growing more powerful, players can use the Skill Tree to adapt their character to their own strengths & preferences.
Like in any traditional RPG, you can strengthen your Sunborn by relentlessly murdering foes and completing the tasks set before you until you’ve gathered enough XP to level up. With each new level, you’ll get skill points that you can spend on our Skill Tree.
As with many skill trees when leveling up in Second Sun, you can choose between Active and Passive skills.
Active Skills
As implied by the name, active skills shape your actions in combat. From stronger attacks to health regeneration, they can make or break your run, turning a shocking defeat into a successful dungeon crawl. You can load your Action Bar with up to 4 Skills and use your skill points to make each skill more powerful as you level up.
Passive Skills
Alongside the Active Skills, Second Sun includes a variety of Passive Skills that’ll boost your survival chances and make you better at taking down enemies. You start the game with one Passive Skill slot, unlocking up to 3 as you progress.
Whether you prefer to charge headfirst into battle or adopt a more tactical approach, Second Sun’s robust Skill Tree and diverse skill options ensure that your journey is uniquely yours. Embrace the challenge, level up, and let your Sunborn shine!
My favourite Skill? Meteor Storm. I love to see my enemies go KABOOM!
