Robin Skill Guide: How to Level Up Robin – Gotham Knights

Skills in Gotham Knights are a core part of character progression, giving you sometimes massive boosts to your abilities, or even unlocking new utilities or moves themselves. These are purchased via Ability Points, which are earned from a variety of sources, like leveling up, completing certain challenges, or finding collectible sets. As you get more (and you can see how to do so with this guide), you might be wondering how best to spend them, since each character has 4 completely unique skill trees with a wide variety of skills.

The purpose of this guide is to help you figure out how best to spend your Ability Points for Robin, giving you level-by-level suggestions for what to purchase next. In order to get the most out of this guide, you should only purchase Perfect Evade (Marked “1”) before completing your Knighthood Challenge in order to unlock the Knighthood skill tree.

In order, the skills you should purchase are:

1. Perfect Evade – Slugger
2. Light Footed – Shadow
3. Turnabout Takedown – Shadow
4. Vantage Hanging Takedown – Shadow
5. Vantage Haning Takedown Mine – Shadow
6. Reduced Visual Stim – Shadow
7. Shadow Renewal – Shadow
8. Stealth Damage + – Shadow
9. Aerial Attack Smoke – Knighthood
10. Stealth Takedown + – Knighthood
11. Slideways Takedown – Knighthood
12. Elemental Charge – Tinkering
13. Sticky Pellet – Tinkering
14. Sticky Pellets x3 – Tinkering
15. Enhanced Sticky Pellets – Tinkering
16. Combat Expertise – Knighthood
17. Back Damage + – Slugger
18. Critical Expertise – Slugger
19. Precise Strikes – Slugger
20. Elemental Focus – Slugger
21. Microbot Target + – Knighthood
22. Microbots Cooldown Reduction – Knighthood
23. Elemental Resistance – Tinkering
24. Enhanced Elemental Effects – Tinkering
25. Elemental Burst – Tinkering
26. Elemental Decoy – Slugger
27. Exploding Decoy – Slugger

Note that this is just a recommended order for maximum efficiency, based on the utility provided by each skill. If you don’t want to follow this guide exactly, then you should keep in mind that, typically, skills that unlock new techniques should be prioritized, and that skills that complement each other (for example, those that improve criticals or health packs) should be purchased in blocks to maximize their benefit.

Now that you know how best to spend your AP for Robin, you are ready to take on Gotham and start earning those Ability Points. Or, maybe you want to check out the Skill Guides for the other characters, to make sure your whole Bat-Family is ready to go. And when you are ready to get all of the Ability Points, to eventually unlock all the skills for every character, you should see our “How to Max Out the Skill Trees” guide to find out how.
