Skills are one of the most important aspects of Assassin’s Creed Mirage. If you want to create the perfect Assassin build, you need to invest in the right skills. Unlocking the best skills first goes a long way in making sure you are prepared to handle the toughest situation, especially like the ones you encounter at the Damascus Prison. In this guide, we will go through all the best skills you need to unlock first for a great Stealth Build in Assassin’s Creed Mirage.
Best Skills To Unlock First In Assassin’s Creed Mirage
Note: You need to earn skill points to unlock skills in Assassin’s Creed Mirage.
Auto Collect
Your very first skill point should go to the Auto Collect Skill. It is available under the Trickster skill tree. Auto Collect skill in Assassin’s Creed Mirage let’s you loot an enemy automatically after a stealth assassination. This is an absolute must have skill if you want to farm money, loot rare resources, and save time while doing so.
Guards often carry Dirham as well as high value loot, sometimes even quest items. With the Auto Collect skill you can simply assassinate them and walk away with the loot, without worrying about manually looting their bodies.
Elixir Pocket
What is an Assassin without healing items? A dead Assassin. Having healing items become really handy with you’re facing multiple enemies, running away from a plethora of guards shooting arrows at you, and boss battles. In fact, they come in handy in every situation where Basim is low on HP. Elixir Pocket is another skill from the Trickster skill tree. It allows you to carry more healing potions in Assassin’s Creed Mirage, making it one of the best early skills to have.
After unlocking Elixir Pocket skill, you will be able to increase the maximum number of Elixirs you can carry at the same time by 1. I highly recommend you invest in this skill early on.
Breakfall
Speaking of running away from enemies; Breakfall is another important skill that you should invest in early on. You’ll have to unlock the Phantom Skill Tree first by unlocking the first skill but after that, put your points in Breakfall. It costs 2 skill points and reduces the amount of damage Basim takes when jumping off a dangerous height.
Often when you’re running away from guards in Baghdad, you may end up jumping off higher buildings. Breakfall is the perfect Assassin skill in this situation. Basim will perform an automatic roll when landing on the ground, reducing the amount of damage he takes.
Pickpocket Master
Resource and money farming is made easy with the Pickpocket skill. Although I admit, picking pockets in Assassin’s Creed Mirage isn’t hard at hard but why not make it even easier and smooth with the Pickpocket Master skill. The skill resides in the Trickster Skill tree. It costs 4 Skill Points and allows Basim to Pickpocket more efficiently. It makes the process faster and easier compared to the usual mini-game you need to play to get the good out of an NPCs pocket.
Knife Recovery
As an Assassin in Baghdad, throwing knives will become an essential part of your adventures. However, there is a limited number of knives you can carry which makes Knife Recovery one of the best early skills in AC Mirage. With this skill, all the throwing knives that hit an enemy can be retrieved from their corpse. Knife Recovery skill is under the Trickster skill tree and costs 3 Skill Points to unlock.
Enkidu’s Acuity 1 And 2
Stealth is at the heart of every mission in Assassin’s Creed Mirage. You’ll need to mark enemies, find objectives, sometimes locate prisoners and loot chests, quest items, and more. Enkidu’s, your eagle, becomes an invaluable companion in such situations. Invest in Enkidu’s abilities by increasing his range to detect enemies and items. Enkidu’s Acuity 1 and 2, both increase his perception, making it easier to tag enemies and items. This skill falls under the Predator skill tree and costs 3 Skill Points to unlock.
Emergency Aim
Emergency Aim allows you to hold LT/L2 to snap your aim to an enemy as they detect you, giving you an opportunity to kill them and remain undetected. Make sure you have throwing knives or else this skill won’t really work. Emergency Aim falls under the Predator skill tree and is available to unlock for 3 Skill Points. If you value stealth and want to remain undetected, invest in Emergency Aim skill.
