Agility | Enemies Dying Light Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
Agility is one of three group of skills available in the game. Those are the main ways of gathering experience required for developing it:
- Traveling in freerunning style (jumps, climbing etc)
- Defeating enemies in freerunning style (kicks in the air, landing on enemies etc)
- Using unlocked abilities from the Agility tree
- Participating in chases with infected after the dusk (points are given only if you have successfully escaped)
Important! You can improve the speed of gathering experience points by walking on night trips. After the dusk you will be given 2x more experience points in that group of skills.
Below you can find a list of most useful agility abilities. You should get them as fast as it is possible (which means, after getting to the required power level).
Grapple - Main use of this active ability is more effective protection from biting enemies that jump on your character. No matter what type of enemy you face, you can use his attack against him by counterattacking. You should train this move on weaker enemies so that you could easily use it against the stronger ones.
Slide - Slide itself isn't a groundbreaking ability, but it gains greatly thanks to the ability described below, to unlock which Slide is necessary anyway.
Leg Breaker - It is one of most useful abilities from the Agility tree, which activates after you begin sliding. A great advantage of this ability is its versatility. You can use it to stop basic zombies and the stronger ones as well. Enemy with his legs broken is an easy prey to finish off.
Dropkick - It is one of many active abilities connected with freerunning, which is used for offensive actions. After jumping you can press the attack button to hit enemy or enemies standing in front of you with both your legs. Depending on situation, you can stop their attacks temporarily or easily knock them over and after that finish them off.
Health Regen - Increasing the health bar is recommended early in the game. Unlocking this passive ability will reduce the amount of situations when you're on the brink of death.
Freerunning Adept - Unlock this passive ability as quickly as possible. It mostly upgrades character movement, thanks to what freerunning actions becomes easier. Except for that, it unlocks access to variety of new abilities.
Escape - Similarly to Grapple, you can use this ability when facing biting enemies. It allows you to quickly free yourself when a zombie catches you, thus reducing the amount of damage reduces by bites.
Light Drop - A very useful ability if you regularly use freerunning for traveling through the game world. It halves the damage received when falling from high places and will very often save you from serious damage or even death.
Forward Roll - An active ability with similar use to the one described above, it reduces the penalty for falling from high places. Main difference is this one is an active ability, you must press the crouch button when near the ground to make a roll and avoid damage.
Tackle - This ability has more than one useful applications. Most of all, you can use is while running through areas occupied by regular infected and you don't want to waste your time on avoiding them or jumping above them. You can use it to knock over stronger enemies and uncover their weakpoints as well.
Freerunning Expert - Similarly to the passive ability Freerunning Adept you can improve the process or traveling with the use of freerunning techniques. And you will guarantee yourself access to new abilities from the Agility tree.
Tic Tac - Having this active ability increases your character skills when it comes to freerunning, since he can run on walls and thus easier get to higher ledges. It is an active ability, so you must always press the right buttons for it to work.
Ultimate Runner - The last ability from the Agility tree. Try to get to it as quickly as possible, since it makes moving around the game world much easier. It will help you with running from zombies or completing running challenges.
