7. Acrobatics

As Santa Monica Studio promised, Atreus is far from the useless, annoying dead weight that gets in Kratos' way. In fact, the god of war's only son is an integral tool in ensuring his father's survival, and you'll want to make sure that a portion of that precious experience you've accrued is always set aside for upgrading the young warrior's abilities.

There's no room to go wrong here, but if you're looking to spend points in the most effective way possible, Acrobatics is a good first choice to shoot for. Unlocking the ability will allow Atreus to follow-up on some of his father's combos with his own for some extra damage.

Whenever you spot Atreus attempting to garrotte an enemy with his bow, performing a strong attack on the foe will send them skyward. Atreus will respond in kind by gracefully launching himself off the enemy and lodging an arrow in their fetid hide, sending them back to ground and into Dad's clutches for even more pain.
