In Enveloped, players won’t find rigid class divisions. Power and versatility come from the gear chosen and the skills developed. Just as in the game, there is a non-obvious path that accelerates power growth and opens more abilities. This guide highlights core benefits, builds, and practical priorities to focus on early on.

How to earn more skill points
Beyond the normal XP gained from defeating monsters, players can grab an extra skill point by destroying the Shroud’s roots. These roots are scattered across the map and aren’t always obvious. As the story progresses, new markers appear: “Source of Elixir” and “Root of the Veil.” Reaching level 25, completing main missions, and eradicating all Veil roots can yield up to 114 skill points.
Should initial skills be upgraded first?
The circular dot skills are not tied to a single class, yet they aren’t useless. The “Surprise Attack” lets players avoid many fights, while increased back damage benefits co-op play. This approach enables significantly higher damage. The “Savior” skill can revive allies in 3 seconds instead of 6, a very useful boost at the start of any cooperative game. If the player prefers mining or breaking through terrain with a pickaxe, the entire branch at the top-left of the circle is especially handy.
Which skills to improve first?
Here is a list of talents useful for any role, consistently valuable across builds:
- Double jump – With no in-air pull, this helps exploration and completing tower challenges. It also assists when climbing grids, since jumping doesn’t drain stamina.
- Upward airflow – The glider’s path can be adjusted with this, helping avoid lava or falls and enabling quick movement over rolling terrain.
- Good absorption – A notable boost to healing efficiency, saving resources and speeding up health recovery.
- Teleportation – Replaces a dodge with a magic dash. Since a roll still causes damage, teleportation becomes more reliable.
- Heavy plates – Increases armor by about 10%, a solid pick for tanks and magicians to survive tough hits.
Is it possible to play different combat roles?
Experience and talent points are sufficient for one player to test multiple roles if desired. Skill points can be refunded anytime to reallocate builds. If melee is chosen, it’s wise to keep a bow and arrows handy for triggering mechanisms, solving puzzles, and fending off airborne enemies.
How to reset skills
To reset, visit the Altar of Flame and select the reset option. It costs 10 runes, obtainable by disenchanting world-found weapons or defeating foes. Any weapon can be disassembled, starting from the green tier. Higher quality yields more runes.
Best build for a wizard
For players who enjoy auto-targeting staves and wands, the mage archetype in Enshrouded presents a broad skill tree. Here are the most important picks:
- Spirituality – Raising the Flame level increases intelligence points, fueling higher magical damage.
- Aura of water – Heals nearby allies, providing extra survivability in heavy skirmishes.
- Veil Remover – With a chance boost, combat time within the shroud can be extended, and a certain montage can negate the timer entirely.
- Wizard – Raises critical chance on magical weapons, delivering decisive hits with high base damage.
- Scout – Improves critical damage and stamina, aiding puzzle-solving and long-distance travel.
You’ll want two staves in hand, one dealing fire and the other electrical damage. This setup ensures preparedness for most situations. Other wizard gear can be sourced from the Alchemist and upgraded as progress continues.
Best warrior build
While two-handed weapons deliver strong damage, many builds focus on one-handed weapons paired with a shield. If healers are present, the emphasis can be on offense with supportive utility. For sturdier builds, consider these skills:
- Fast knives – Boosts attack speed, enabling more frequent critical hits and effect activations.
- Cleaning – Extends Veil duration by 5 seconds for each enemy slain, a noticeable edge in intense fights.
- Combat healing – Restores 5% of maximum health on critical hits.
- Aura of water – Provides a small team-wide heal passively, vital in crowded battles.
- Heavy hand – Improves the ability to stun enemies for extra damage opportunities.
Equipping a weapon that combines cutting, piercing, and crushing damage is essential to activate the described skills. Basic gear can be purchased from the blacksmith and upgraded as needed.
Best archer build
Archers offer long-range prowess, but accuracy is key. Skillfully played, they can become the team’s primary damage dealer and a fast mover on the map. Recommended skills include:
- The Pathfinder tree – Greatly enhances a bow’s basic attack power.
- Multishot – Increases area damage, letting a small group take hits all at once.
- Graceful hallway – Grants an extra Dexterity point for every two Flame levels.
- Scout – Boosts all stats, improving damage and mobility.
- Aura of water – Adds passive healing for the team, supporting frontline pressure.
Focus on ranged-damage gear that also speeds up stamina recovery. The Huntress set is strong but other outfits with the right stats can work too.
