Fleet Footed is a must-have skill!

Due to its versatility and overall usefulness, we recommend investing points into this skill as soon as possible. This skill will greatly help you throughout your quest, and is useful in many builds, so be sure to learn/level this skill. If you have extra points and do not know where to invest them, this is a solid option.

Having this skill equipped and maxed out will significantly benefit your defensive capabilities. If you have this skill equipped while Quen is active, dodging the attack while you are still in their range will completely ignore the damage and save your Quen buff.

This skill can be leveled and equipped early in the game as it is only requires 8 points in the Combat branch.

Conclusion

If you are fine with investing a few points into the Combat Branch, then getting this skill is worth it. Having to ignore damage when dodging is a great help especially when the enemy stuns you while they are attacking.
