If you want to destroy Typhon as Fenyx (and learn every hidden detail) with the least amount of stress, it’s necessary to plan out which skills you purchase. Coins of Charon don’t show themselves often, and spending them feels stressful when you think about the time it took to gather them.

Immortals Fenyx Rising invites players to take their time and have fun on their way to destroy Typhon, but that doesn’t mean you have to deal with unnecessary pain either. You won’t find some skills listed because you obtain them by completing campaign quests. Find out which ones to buy with Coins of Charon here before gliding toward your next vault.

Glide Boost

If there’s one thing you’ll do plenty of in Immortals Fenyx Rising, it’s jumping off tall objects to glide to your destination. Ubisoft did a fantastic job of placing locations appropriate distances away from the statue of a god, but you will wonder what life was like before purchasing glide boost.

Purchasing this with hard-earned Coins of Charon gives you an extra boost while Fenyx flies through the air. Saving time feels great, but it can also get you out of a bad scrape if necessary, no matter which wings you’ve found along the way.

Climb Leap

If there’s one thing to love about Immortals Fenyx Rising, it’s climbing up cliffs and statutes without slipping in the rain. With that said, players won’t love trying to scale statutes before upgrading this skill.

Travel becomes more efficient in two important ways thanks to this skill: Fenyx uses less stamina and climbs faster. You may not even reach some heights (or get the coolest views) without spending precious Coins of Charon.

Telekinesis Gathering

Gathering ingredients to make potions is a never-ending cycle in Immortals Fenyx Rising, and nothing makes that easier than telekinesis gathering. When you buy this upgrade, you can collect multiple items at once, even while riding a mount.

It can be easy to ignore this skill because it doesn’t seem too exciting compared to other abilities or the best items in the game. If you play long enough without it, you will want to get it sooner rather than later for a playthrough with a fresh character.

Swim Dash

Climb leap is to climbing in Immortals Fenyx Rising what swim dash is to swimming. Purchasing this early will save significant time and pain when trying to navigate underwater later.

Moving faster is always useful, but this skill comes with another critical perk (and an important pro tip). When Fenyx runs out of stamina, they appear where their feet last touched the ground while only losing one chunk of health.

Enhanced Dodge

Enhanced dodge is an invaluable tool when you’re trying to take down minotaurs, griffins, and soldiers simultaneously. Purchasing this with Coins of Charon gives Fenyx up to five dodges in a row on their adventure, which helps considering the combat system is far from perfect.

A balance of dodging, parrying, and an aggressive offense gets you far while playing Immortals Fenyx Rising. The more you can have any one of those three moves the better for taking down Typhon.

Sword Counter

If you get comfortable with parrying early, it pays dividends when you earn enough Coins of Charon to purchase the sword counter. Purchasing this opens up new possibilities to deflect attacks and control crowds of mythological beasts.

The sword attack counter refills 90% of a stamina chunk and dishes out 160 damage on a hit. Fenyx can use this skill in the air as well, which also helps when trying to clean out baddies to earn a chest.

Ax Counter

Ax attacks can be Fenyx’s bread and butter during their journey to defeat Typhon. Spending Coins of Charon on the counter gives a whopping 350 stun damage points and 200 attack damage to enemies in Immortals Fenyx Rising.

You can also perform an ax counter in the air, so it’s another potent weapon for vertical combat in the game. It’s also satisfying to destroy annoying griffins with a well-timed counter and move on with your adventuring.

Air Dodge

Learning how to dodge properly in Fenyx is an essential part of learning the combat system. Flying enemies appear regularly and in large groups, so going without this skill could lead to frustration.

When you have to deal with waves of enemies to earn Zeus’ lightning, having this skill will help avoid using precious potions. An entire level of combat advantages opens up when you spend Coins of Charon to acquire this essential move.

Power Strike Finisher

The power strike finisher gives an extra finisher to your sword combo. This ability dishes out 30 damage and refills 40% of a stamina chunk. Successful execution of this move can stun large creatures, which allows you to finish them off or make a quick exit. If you’re a fan of using the sword during combat, this skill rewards you with another attack.

Precision Control

Immortals Fenyx Rising involves plenty of bow challenges that test your skills and your patience as a player. Before you spend too much time trying to thread arrows through hoops, spend some Coins of Charon on the Precision Control skill.

Depending on how you play, Apollo’s Arrows may represent 50% combat and 50% quest tool for Fenyx. If you attempt an Odysseus Myth Challenge without it, you won’t forget the pain you went through needlessly.

Power Spin Finisher

The power spin finisher gives your ax combo some extra bite with a finisher that does 80 damage and 160 stun. Fenyx can create a circle of lethal damage with this move to clear space or do additional damage to a stunned enemy. You may find yourself spamming this move to make the most of an opportunity to take a boss’ health down.

Axe Smash

Spending 5 of your precious Coins of Charon for ax smash gives you a powerful attack that deals 120 damage, 210 stun and knocks back enemies. If you find yourself becoming encircled, hold the right trigger button to get the space you need. You can zip around the battle well enough without this for the most part, but it’s worth having nonetheless.

Axe Cleave

Should you notice a host of baddies below Fenyx while in the air, hold the right trigger on your controller. You’ll deal 140 damage and 245 stun while sending out a shockwave that knocks enemies backward. This skill comes in especially handy during vaults where you find yourself fighting waves of ground and air minions.

Marksman

Marksman gives headshots with your bow 100% more damage, which is useful no matter how you approach combat. A few shots to the skull with Fenyx’s arrows can become critical to your long-term crowd control plans when surrounded by baddies. If you don’t rely on the bow often, this can wait until it’s more helpful to your efforts.

Sword Sprint Attack

If you enjoy sprinting into a group of enemies and dealing aggressive damage, you might even thank the gods for this skill. If you press the top right trigger button, you’ll complete a 2-hit spin attack that refills 20% of a stamina chunk and deals 30 damage each hit. Sometimes the best defense is a great offense, and this move gives you a fantastic offensive tool to kick off combos.

Axe Sprint Attack

If you find yourself wanting to rush toward a group and thin them out with your ax, pick up this skill for improved crowd control options. If you hit the bottom right trigger while sprinting, your attack deals 200 damage and 300 stun. This move gives Fenyx a way to kick off a series of heavy combos against a crowd of enemies, but it can wait for a while.

Sword Launcher

It’s clear that Ubisoft wants players to get comfortable with fighting in the air on and on the ground in Immortals Fenyx Rising. While air dodging gives a new defensive edge, the sword launcher allows players to control the combat space.

This comes in especially handy when dealing with waves of enemies that have an even mix of ground and air baddies. You’ll find yourself planning moves that allow you to take out groups with ease.

Axe Dodge Attack

Nothing feels better than owning flying enemies with a dodge and punishing strong attack like this one. The ax dodge attack does 63 damage and 87 stun.

If you get a successful hit in the air, it gives you a vertical boost as well. Fans of air combat may want to prioritize this higher than others on the list.

Sword Dodge Attack

You can use this skill mid-air as well, which undoubtedly gives this some extra value. You can dodge and complete a quick attack for 56 damage while refilling 30% of a stamina chunk when you strike your target. Dealing damage as a reward for a well-timed dodge feels like a sweet reward from the gods themselves.

Reflex Shot

If you love The Matrix or Max Payne, the chances are good that you enjoy having the opportunity to stop time and take careful aim. The combat in Fenyx Rising can become chaotic, so any kind of break is welcome and helpful in planning the next move. While it’s useful for challenges and feeling like Neo, you’ll want to prioritize others to get you through at least the mid-game of the campaign.
