List of Skill Trees

All Class Skill Trees
Rogue Warrior Mage

Skill Trees in Dragon Age: The Veilguard are represented by the hexagonal Constellation interface. Each class has its own Constellation, containing seven segments, and three specializations to shape how the Rook fights.

Rogue Skill Tree

The Rogue Skill Tree places an emphasis on speed and agility, with skills granting fast attacks and evasive actions to outmaneuver opponents up close. The skill tree also provides various bow skills for long-range combat.

Aside from its central Core, the skill tree divides the hexagon into six parts: Sustain, Control, and Burst, as well as the Antivan Crow, Veil Jumper, and Lord of Fortune sections.

Rogue Class Abilities and Builds

Rogue Specializations

The Rogue Skill Tree gets access to the Saboteur, Veil Ranger, and Duelist specializations. The Saboteur uses tools and traps to control the battle, while the Veil Ranger focuses on bow combat.

Lastly, the Duelist is a melee-focused specialization that attacks quickly and repeatedly to cut down foes.

Warrior Skill Tree

The Warrior Skill Tree encourages front-line action, providing skills that increase survivability and melee capability. Those using this skill tree are the vanguards in every fight, overwhelming foes with sheer strength.

The skill tree starts from its Core in the center, then branches out into the Survival, Weapons and Abilities sections, but also into the Grey Warden, Mourn Watch, and Lord of Fortune paths around the hexagon.

Warrior Class Abilities and Builds

Warrior Specializations

The Reaper, Champion, and Slayer specializations can be found in the Warrior Skill Tree. The Reaper is a life-steal and Necrotic Damage oriented specialization, while the Champion uses Fire and rallies their allies.

The Slayer wields two-handed weapons to devastating effect, pulverizing enemies with powerful blows.

Mage Skill Tree

The Mage Skill Tree is full of various spells that apply different elemental damage types and afflictions. Unlocking these skills allows mages to utilize an arsenal of magic attacks, selecting the correct element for the job as needed.

Beginning with the Core, the skill tree can move into the Burst, Control, and Sustain parts of the hexagon, or the Antivan Crow, Shadow Dragon, and Mourn Watch sections.

Mage Class Abilities and Builds

Mage Specializations

The Mage Skill Tree allows for specializing into the Spellblade, Death Caller, or Evoker. Spellblades mix lightning magic and melee combat to great effect, while Death Callers can use life as a resource to cast Necrotic magic.

The Evoker controls the battlefield with potent Ice magic, slowing down enemies and delivering lethal Ice attacks.

Skills Explained

All Skill Types
Checkmark Abilities
Checkmark Ultimates
Checkmark Traits
Checkmark Passives

The Skills in Dragon Age: The Veilguard are further separated into four distinct categories that you can mix and match to build your own fighting style in-game. These four categories are Abilities, Ultimates, Traits, and Passives.

Use Your Resource on Abilities

Each class has a unique Resource that they accumulate in battle, which can then be spent to use Abilities. Abilities are usually attacks of varying elements and effects that can be employed to gain the upper hand in combat.

List of All Abilities

Unleash Your Ultimate

Ultimates are especially powerful abilities that can be used once you've accumulated enough Resources. These moves often have higher damage and stagger values, making them an excellent option for laying on the hurt.

List of All Ultimates

Chain Actions To Use Traits

You can also perform certain actions in a row to trigger Traits, which are Skills that can influence the Rook's fighting style and capabilities.

These Traits have various effects that can allow you to deflect projectiles, charge arrows to make them explode, slow time down when you dodge perfectly, and more.

List of All Traits

Empower Yourself With Passives

Lastly, Passives are skills that augment the Rook's stats and other abilities, instead of being directly used in combat. These can provide flat bonuses like health, or grant other Skills additional effects when activated.
