Rogue Skills in The Rogue is a set of Skills that players can spend points in to upgrade their character's abilities. The following are a list of skills available in the Rogue tree. The Rogue Combat stance makes use of the Rogue Skills and requires agility, dodging and controlling the pace of combat with the nail-gun and dagger. This style is arguably the best at inflicting damage to enemies, as well as being able to concentrate damage on key/wounded enemies to drop them as fast as possible if you have Locked On to the relevant target. This unfortunately goes both ways; gun-wielding enemies tend to be the most dangerous for you since they can inflict a lot of damage on you very suddenly from quite a distance away, so you will want to focus on killing them first in any fight.
