There are a ton of abilities to play with in Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn, and most of them aren’t just stat boosts either. Here, we’ll break them down into a tier list to help you determine which are the best, and which could be better.

Everything from ground slam attacks, to levitating enemies into the air, and even the ability to better mix and match armor bonuses is covered here, but which are the best? With so many to cover (34 in total!), we’ll just touch on a few of the most notable from each tier. Also keep in mind that this list is subjective, and the abilities that worked well for me might not suit your playstyle, so feel free to experiment!

These abilities are absolute game changers in Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn. When used together, they completely change the game as you know it. (Especially in boss fights!)

Poised Shot is so good I would almost say it's downright crap. The tutorial introduces you to two simple concepts. There are attacks you can parry, and attacks you can't parry. Of course, you can also "interrupt" the attacks you can't parry by using your firearm, but Poised Shot says otherwise. Poised Shot allows you to use your firearm to actively parry attacks that you would normally only be able to interrupt, meaning you can riposte them like you would in a normal parry. In boss fights, this skill is an absolute must.
