Thymesia sets itself apart from many other soulslike games by including a talent tree, which allows you to select from a wide collection of skills that can drastically alter your playstyle. These come in the form of additional attacks, improved dodging, better item drop rates, and even temporary buffs. Deciding how to build your character is just as important as leveling up base attributes.
You’ll receive one talent point every time you level up until level 25, meaning that you have no shortage of options at your disposal. Even better, Thymesia allows you to change your talents freely at any resting spot in the game, so you’re free to mess around with any number of builds without a penalty. However, there are a few talents that will come in handy for nearly everyone, so you may want to grab them as early as possible to maximize your effectiveness in combat.
Sharp Weapons
Since the majority of your wound damage comes from your saber, especially in the early portion of the game, it’s a good idea to ensure it is always functioning at its best. Pick up Sharp Weapons Lv1 and Lv2 under the “Saber” tree to increase how much hurt you’re dishing out when using your trusty sword.
