‎All Towerborne Skills (& How to Unlock Them)

Towerborne isn’t just a regular action-adventure RPG… It’s a side-scrolling game where you move using directional keys and bash mobs while dropping your attacks. In this game, your character has a solid set of moves that you’ll need to unlock and master fully to handle the threats you encounter during missions. For those wondering which skills are available for each class and how to access them in Towerborne, this guide has you covered.

How to Unlock All Skills in Towerborne

As soon as your fighter gets through the tutorial, they’ll have some default abilities. For others, however, you’ll need to grind. There are two main ways to expand your combat skills in Towerborne: increasing your character level and completing Bounty Missions. You can naturally do the former by exploring the world map and participating in fights. With each victory, you earn XP that goes toward your leveling pool.

Bounty Missions can be wrapped up by interacting with the Bounty Board and taking them on when available, similar to how you manage your Umbra Bounties (animal sidekicks). Once you unlock skills, you can apply them by spending Skill Points, which you primarily earn from missions. To do this, go to the Menu (press ESC), open the Skills section, and equip the desired abilities under your class category.

It’s also important to note that players can only equip a limited number of skills per class, as follows:

  • Light Focus: One
  • Heavy Focus: One
  • Weapon Mechanic: 14 for Sentinel and Pyroclast, 12 for Rockbreaker, Nine for Shadowstriker
  • Advanced Combat: 8 for Sentinel and Pyroclast, 10 for Rockbreaker, 13 for Shadowstriker
  • Support Skills: Five for all classes

If you’ve put your hard-earned Skill Points into the wrong move, you can reclaim them by unequipping it and investing in a new one, which is a pretty handy mechanic.
