- Composure (Foundation/Stamina): Lets you dodge during a light attack combo without breaking it, making it easier to reach the powerful combo finisher.
- Punishing Downpour (Foundation/Martial Arts): Boosts splash damage on the combo finisher when you land enough hits, especially effective against groups or agile enemies, and pairs well with Composure.
- Exhilaration (Staff Stances): Grants minor health regeneration when using Focus points, which adds up given how often Focus is spent.
- Force Unbound (Staff Stances/Smash Stance): Allows charging your Smash while sprinting, perfect for initiating fights by closing the gap and delivering a powerful blow.
- Deadly Dance (Thrust Stance/Staff Stances): Lets you perform a heavy attack after a roll or perfect dodge by spending 4 Focus Points, making Thrust Stance competitive with Smash Stance.
- Spirit Shards (Immobilize/Mysticism): Restores some Mana when using the Immobilize spell, crucial given how hard Mana is to recover in the game.
- Rock Solid Spell (Alteration): The Rock Solid parry spell, learned in Chapter 2, is highly effective in combat, and upgrading it fully is recommended for the best results.
