Avatar: Frontiers of Pandorais a first-person action-adventure game set in the world of James Cameron’s Avatar. The game features plenty of mechanics to be aware of, with skills being a little more complicated than they need to be. You get 5 skill trees that you can earn skills in while you make your way through them, as well as unlocking Apex skills by getting every skill in these trees. However, there are 12 specific skills that you can only unlock by finding Tarsyu Flowers.

Finding Tarsyu Sapling Locations will reward you with Ancestor Skills. You will want to get your hands on these Ancestor skills sooner rather than later, as you will make use of them much more frequently than others. Skills are still just a small part of the game, so be sure to read up on some ofthe other tips and tricks.

12Soft Landing

Use Whenever You Would Take Fall Damage

When to use:

While you will be doing a lot of travel through the skies on your trusty ikran, you will also be doing a lot of travel on foot. As with most games, the presence of fall damage is always a concern as it can chisel away at one’s health — causing a potential game over scenario.

Once you get your hand on this skill, it is a good idea to make using it habitual. How Soft Landing works is that before you hit the ground, you press the crouch button. This will reduce all of the fall damage you would take by 50%. While a lot of the time you won’t even need to press crouch, just getting into the habit of it could potentially save your life.

11Drop Impact

Use For Groups Of Enemies

While you are up in the air, you will be able to use your melee attack. Doing so once you have acquired this skill will allow you to perform a powerful strike that deals a lot of damage. The higher up you are, the more damage will be dealt.

Building up enough speed before impact will result in up to three times your normal maximum damage. This is not limited to just a single target attack, as all of your enemies within its area of effect will negatively be affected as well, as they will all become staggered by the Drop Impact.

10Free Fast Travel

Use Whenever You Fast Travel

The map for Frontiers of Pandora is quite large — a whopping 255 Kilometers squared. It is due to games having such massive sizes that a feature like fast traveling is vital to improving player experiences. However, the game also has players managing their energy by eating food, usuallythat they have cooked. It also pays toincrease your energyso you always have some on hand.

Each time a player fast travels, they will see 20% of their energy drop when making the journey — this is to help with player immersion. The Free Fast Travel skill will allow players to fast travel as much as they want without costing them any energy. If this was a skill you got in the first area of the game, it may have hit the top 5.

9Deeper Connection

Used While Mounted On Ikran

Your ikran is an invaluable ally and mount in the game. You will be making use of their ability to traverse the skies for a sizable portion of the game, as well as make use of various abilities at their disposal.

You will be able to have the dodge roll, boost, and perform attacks while you are mounted on them. However, these actions consume the ikran’s stamina, which is where Deeper Connection comes in. This skill is of a passive nature and will shave down all the stamina costs of these actions by 50%.

Use When Attacking From Ikran

As stated before, you will be spending a lot of time on your ikran. This will will provide a new mechanic for your flying companion in the form of Screech. This acts as a new kind of special attack you can implement to not only damage your enemies but also disorientate them.

This attack does not need a line of site, as it will affect any enemy within a 75-meter radius of the ikran. This will be perfect for when you don’t want enemies to be able to fight back while you are dealing damage. However, you will not be getting it until you are in the second area of the game.

7Wing Gust

Use For Landing Into Hostiles

Your ikran will be able to perform a special attack called Wing Gust when it lands on the ground. Just like screech, this will both damage and disorientate your enemies. However, it only has a radius of 30 meters and requires you to actually land on the ground.

This means you will be switching from being mounted on your ikran to fighting on foot. Luckily, you do not need to choose which you would rather use, as you can screech and then follow it up with a Wing Gust by landing.

6Tarsyu Network

Use For Collecting Tarsyu Saplings

The second late-game skill will make it a lot easier for you to track down Tarsyu saplings in the game. Whenever you touch a Tarsyu sapling, the location of another one of these saplings will be revealed to you. This allows you to easily mop up any skill points you may need.

The amount of time you will use this skill is dependent on how many saplings you have left to find. Regardless, there are a lot of them and this skill will greatly help you as you wrap up the game.

Use When You See An AMP

Throughout the game, you will need to deal with the RDA. Most of them will just be your typical foot soldiers, but you will frequently have to deal with those operating AMP suits. Once you have this skill in your arsenal, you will be able to run up to these AMP suits when they are in a distressed state — like being hacked or stunned.

Then you will be able to use your melee to immediately pull the operator out of the AMP. This skill can be especially useful when you want to take an AMP out first before dealing with everyone else.

4Ghost Strike

Use While Being Stealthy

You will be making use of stealth a lot in this game, especially when it comes to infiltrating facilities. You will not want to alert guards to your position, so being able to dispatch them quietly and efficiently will be a key objective — that is where Ghost Strike comes in.

This ability will increase the damage you are able to output by 30% while you are being stealthy. Most of the time, you will be able to one-shot smaller enemies. However, when you have a bigger threat to worry about, getting in that bonus damage can really help finish it off even if it notices you.

3Reconnaissance

Use To See Patrol Routes

Using your Na’vi Senses, you will be able to see the patrol paths of RDA units. Being able to know where an enemy will be in advance is a great way to get the jump on them.

To be(come) or not to be(come). That is the question.

This skill is absolutely brilliant when you want to be stealthy, so much so that it would have ranked much higher if it was one of the earliest options in the game. Luckily, you do not need to wait until the very last area to get your hands on this one, as it will be available once you get to the second area of the game.
