Last update: 11 May 2016
Each person in your community has a basic set of skills:
Cardio - determines the stamina
Wits - allows you to search faster, quieter, and speeds up the process of surveying
Fighting - determines the amount of life and unlock special attacks
Shooting - makes it easier to shoot, each star reduces recoil by 10%, increases the accuracy
Each character also has additional skills specific to him or her. All the skills you develop by actions associated to them (running increases Cardio, fighting increases Fighting). Each skill has 7 levels (stars), when you reach a certain level you can choose the specializations associated with it, for example the ability to Double Kill allow the killing of two zombies at the same time (required to achievement).
There are many ways to develop your character: you can create hero for melee fighting and running, the other to fight at a distance, you can also balance each character in order to cope with different situations. But the truth is that ordinary hand combat and survival skills is paramount, so any development path that allows the survival will be good.
