Stats, effects & acquisition Reference coverage and sources
Sources are the Kingdom Come: Deliverance II wiki.gg perks page and IGN KCD2 guides. The edition comparison table lists purchase editions rather than equipment or progression entities. The sources do not consistently label edition or DLC applicability; Father Godwin’s temporary-character perks are excluded, and NG+ distinctions are not specified.
Counts describe the imported source tables. They do not establish complete coverage of every patch, DLC or upgrade variant. Multiple values remain labeled as listed values when the source does not identify their upgrade levels.

Understand this choiceCommon mistakes to avoid
Exclusive perks limit a single-run unlock
IGN says some skill categories include mutually exclusive choices and that it is impossible to get every skill in one run. It gives Secret of Equilibrium and Secret of Matter as an Alchemy example.
A perk reset leaves character levels intact
IGN says Lethean Water refunds spent perk points without changing main or attribute levels, and warns that consuming it makes Henry black out. The perk passage also says levels are not altered.
Flavor text does not establish a quantified effect
The perk page labels itself a stub, and many entries provide narrative descriptions without explicit mechanics. The records here rely on passages that state an effect or describe a concrete attack sequence.
References & guide scope
A focused reference to ten distinct named perks and combat techniques with effects described in the supplied passages, plus perk progression and respec context. The sources do not establish complete perk coverage or comparative effectiveness.
- The supplied Steam identity metadata contains no gameplay mechanics.
- The perk page is marked as a stub, and IGN says its skills encyclopedia is under construction; the passages support a focused subset rather than complete perk coverage.
- Fextralife's supplied passage does not establish every unlock condition, cost, or patch-specific behavior.
- No supplied passage connects these records to specific editions or DLC, or establishes comparative effectiveness.
