Skill Leveling Guide
There are two ways to avoid or decrease damage in Valheim, that is rolling and blocking. While rolling will allow you to completely avoid the incoming damage, blocking has the parrying mechanic, which will allow you to counter with more damage. Having higher block will help you parry more damage and stun the enemy!
