Using ’s best Physical skill builds can be an easy way of powering through opponents and getting through the game without major inconveniences – all while not excluding the challenge factor that outer space involves. Such builds are centered on grounded exploration and combat rather than using your spaceship and usually focus on survivability, combat power, and even stealth prowess. As is quite an open-ended RPG when it comes to skill trees, you can mix and match abilities to round out the perfect build. In fact, you are incentivized to do so, as most of the best Physical builds in the game stem from such combinations.
Physical skill builds do not necessarily mean that you will only invest in abilities from that tree, but that will be the main focus when building your character. You will likely be using many Combat skills in to perfect your Physical build, as combat abilities allow you to exterminate opponents while surviving hard battles. There are endless possibilities on how to build your character, especially because ’s lack of a level cap essentially allows you to max out all of your skills, but focusing on specific builds while progressing through the game’s many stories can be a great way of making your experience more pleasant.

While the damage output will largely stem from the Dueling skill on the Combat tree, you will want to invest most of your points on the skills from the Physical tree.

The second priority should be Pain Tolerance in the second row. You can either take it to level 3, which will reduce the physical damage you take by 15%, or max it out to get a 5% chance to completely ignore physical damage when your health is low.
The next obvious step is to maximize Martial Arts in the Physical tree as much as possible. This ability will increase your chances of landing a critical hit with a melee weapon by 15%, get a 15% boost to the chance of disarming your
