Throughout the Assassin's Creed series the only thing that really mattered was how effectively players were able to kill their enemies. This is still one of the main aspects of Assassin's Creed Valhalla, but the game now has more prominent RPG mechanics that make other features almost as important as murdering skills. Players must be willing to put in a decent amount of effort to improve these skills too.

One of the skills that have become a more important feature in Assassin's Creed Valhalla is charisma. If a player has a higher charisma skill they will be able to access more dialogue options while speaking to NPCs, which can turn make progressing through certain parts of the game easier or unlock special options for the player. This guide will show players how they can improve their charisma skill in Assassin's Creed Valhalla.

Charisma may not seem like it would be a useful skill for a Viking or an Assassin either one to possess, but it can be incredibly helpful when players decide they would rather talk to another character instead of murdering them outright. Improving this skill is no easy feat though because there is really only one way to do it. Basically, the only way to improve the charisma skills is by winning Flyting Duels throughout the world.

The best way to describe Flyting Duels is basically old-timey Viking rap battles that players will engage in against other Vikings. To win during one of these duels the player will need to listen closely to what their opponent is saying and then select one of the many options that they are given. Picking the wrong one will cause the player to immediately lose the duel. Players will need to select the option that is closely related to what their opponent said while also picking something that fits the same rhyme. This can be pretty difficult to do at first, especially since there is a time limit to picking an option. With a little bit of practice though, players should be able to get the hang of it and be able to increase the charisma skill in no time at all.
