With twenty skill points now assigned in the Combat Skill Tree, the third tier of skills becomes available! This allows you to maintain casting the all-important Quen sign, granting your glass-cannon that extra level of protection. With this, you have nearly achieved a Geralt-of-Whirling! If you have an extra skill point handy, place it to activate Rage Management in the General Skill Tree. Next, focus your skill points in maxing out both Precise Blows and Crushing Blows. This will open up the next tier of Combat Skills in the Tree. The scope of this build-without the added perks of Enchantments and Mutations from the expansions-hits its stride around Level 40, but the progression in skill point placement is pretty straight forward.

If an aggressive, glass-cannon build is your style, read on. A hint: start out by exploring White Orchard fully.

The Continent boasts several Places of Power shrines that grant Geralt a free skill point when they are found. If that wasn't enough, where do you place those rare and precious mutagens along with your hard-earned skill points? Before we dive into your Geralt-of-Whirling-Death build, or your Unstoppable-White-Wolf build, I want to clue you in on how to expedite your transformation away from the level one Noob-Geralt you're initially handed. The massive open world of The Continent and its Northern Kingdoms holds all manner of allure for adventurers: with its hidden caves and ruins, secret chambers, distant islands, underwater treasures, and vast forests and plains.
