Open world fantasy-adventure game Enshrouded has quickly gained popularity due to its unique setting combined with survival mechanics and a true RPG system which does not restrict or inhibit players in any way. Rather than a conventional specialist class system, the game allows players to use and combine skills from all different classes in order to create their ideal character with a suitable play-style.
Enshrouded: Best Classes For Beginners
There are twelve classes available for players to choose from in Enshrouded, but some are arguably better than others.
The Survivor class might be one of the more overlooked classes in the game, as many players will likely go for builds centered around combat or magic rather than resource collection and survival. However, there are a number of very useful skills in the Survivor class tree which can be of great benefit to players of all styles. The class also features some unique skill moves which could be considered essential in order to fully experience the game in its entirety.
8 Double Jump
To Evade And Access Difficult Areas
- Cost To Unlock: 4 Skill Points
The Double Jump ability is a special traversal skill enabling players to access areas that otherwise might be impossible to get to. While airborne, players can use a second jump, which can allow them to dodge obstacles and reach higher elevations in certain places.
This can be useful for acquiring certain hidden items, and can also be used to evade enemy attacks. Players can also use the double jump skill without any weapons equipped at the cost of no stamina, which can be particularly helpful for players early in the game.
7 Jump Attack
Attack While Jumping For Increased Damage
- Cost To Unlock: 3 Skill Points
Jump Attack is an upgrade skill once Double Jump has been unlocked, enabling players to attack with a melee weapon after double jumping for an additional 20% damage bonus. This can be very helpful in a number of instances, particularly when facing several enemies at once.
Survival Games Where Crafting Is Key
Crafting is a vital part of many titles, but players will have no hope of survival if they don't craft well in the following survival games.
The Jump Attack skill can be particularly effective for players using combat builds such as the Tank build, and combining skills from the Survivor tree with other melee-focused skills. Once unlocked, players will automatically use the skill when attacking from the air.
6 Wanderlust
Grants Movement Speed And Stamina Reduction Bonus When Using Roads
- Cost To Unlock: 3 Points
Stamina is one of the key elements Enshrouded players must manage throughout their journey, so any way to gain a boost to stamina should not be overlooked. The Wanderlust skill will grant players a reduction in stamina consumption when traveling on roads.
While sprinting on dirt roads, the ordinary 90% stamina consumption is reduced to 80%, and sprinting on stone roads will be reduced from 75% to 50%. While this may not seem like a lot, it can be a great help when traveling long distances, and gives the roads more utility in the game world.
5 Inner Fires
Stay Within The Shroud For A Longer Time
- Cost To Unlock: 2 Skill Points
When entering The Shroud, players will only have a limited amount of time before perishing. Fortunately, some skills, such as Inner Fires, can help to prolong the available Shroud Time, giving you more time to collect rarer loot items and defeat tougher enemies.
Enshrouded: Best Wizard Skills
Wizard is one of the most powerful classes in Enshrouded, and for players who choose this route, these are the best skills to pick.
The Inner Fires skill increases the overall Shroud Time by 2 minutes, which is quite substantial, especially relative to other skills. This can be particularly useful for higher level players, regardless of their chosen primary class and skill focus.
4 Arachnoid
Climb For Longer Before Losing Stamina
- Cost To Unlock: 2 Skill Points
One feature which many players have found frustrating, purely due to not being used to it, is the rapid rate of stamina depletion while climbing. If the player's stamina is insufficient, it may render certain areas inaccessible or lead to death due to falling after losing energy.
Fortunately, the Arachnoid skill addresses the issue of climbing and stamina depletion by reducing stamina consumption by 50% when climbing. This is a massively noticeable difference and is the best way to reduce stamina consumption for any class.
3 Good Metabolism
Improves The Effectiveness Of Consuming All Orb Types
- Cost To Unlock: 2 Skill Points
The Good Metabolism skill will greatly help all players, regardless of their chosen specialty, as it affects health, stamina and Mana equally. This skill will grant players 30% restoration of health, mana and stamina when consuming Orbs, and potions will restore 20% more than usual.
Enshrouded: Best Mage Build
Blow all your problems away with this explosive mage build with unlimited mana in Enshrouded.
While coming across orbs in the game world is not commonplace, there are certain weapons and skills players can use to make them more likely to appear. Chief among these is the Bloodletting skill, which spawns orbs from defeated enemies when a critical hit is landed with a magical weapon.
2 Swiftshot Sustenance
Increases The Chances Of Spawning Orbs
- Cost To Unlock: 2 Skill Points
The Swiftshot Sustenance skill is very useful for players who prefer to use ranged weapons and will help improve the likelihood of spawning orbs, thus increasing the effectiveness of the Good Metabolism skill as well.
When unlocked, this skill will add a 30% chance of spawning an orb when an enemy is defeated with a bow. This is a massive increase and will particularly benefit players who are specializing in the Ranger and Assassin classes, which are close to the Survivor class in terms of the overall skill tree.
1 Dessert Stomach
Adds A Further Food Slot
- Cost To Unlock: 2 Skill Points
Since the game's survival mechanics are central to Enshrouded, food plays an important role when it comes to adding small bonuses and can be the difference between death and survival in many cases. Players will start the game with three available food slots in which items can be placed for a limited duration.
The Dessert Stomach skill will add a fourth food slot, which means players can equip and gain the benefits of four separate food items at one time. While this may not seem like a massive difference, players can craft some powerful recipes to ensure that the potential of each slot is maximized.
