Bound By Flame Guide: Warrior Skill Tree

The Warrior is a physical-based, two-handed weapon skill tree in Bound By Flame. It boosts all attacks and skills with two-handed weapon and the Warrior Stance. Like Ranger, Warrior works well with the Pyromancer skill tree to augment your fighting style, but is great on its own.

If you like swinging big weapons, breaking through enemy armor, and feeling like an unstoppable tank, then the Warrior skill tree is for you! If you’d like to see other guides and tips on Bound By Flame, please visit the Master Guide List.

This guide will cover everything about the Warrior skill tree including:

• Warrior Skill List – Every skill in the Warrior tree and what they do.
• Suggested Skills – Tips on what skills to look at and suggestions on what to get first.

Warrior Skill List

There are four tiers of the skill tree: Novice, Amateur, Expert, and Master. Each requires a certain number of points to reach the next tier and you start with Novice already unlocked. 

• Amateur requires six points in the Warrior skill tree to unlock.
• Expert requires 12 points.
• Master requires 24 points.

Reaching these tiers unlocks new skills to use points on. There are five total skill lines: Powerful Attack, Circular Attack, Vitality, Guard Break, and Parry. You must put points in the skill lines to unlock skills in the higher tiers of the tree.

Each skill has three levels to upgrade. After unlocking each tier, you can put points in equal to the number of the previous tier. For example: If you put two points in a skill and unlocked the next tier, you can only put two points in the next skill. Once you put three points in the previous skill, you can put 3 points in the higher skill.

Suggested Skills

A Warrior fights at close range and takes more hits than the other fighting styles. This means you should increase your survivability early on to help with the later levels.

• Vitality is required if you want to go far as a Warrior. You should put points in this early for the health regen and many resistances it gives.
• Parrying is important. Put at least two points in Improved Parrying early on so you can parry from any angle.

• Powerful Attack is the first attack skill line to max for sure. It gives a great damage increase and high ability to interrupt.
• Work on Circular Attack to unlock Rage.

That covers everything on the Warrior skill tree. If you want tips and guides on anything else related to Bound By Flame, be sure to check out the Master Guide List.
