Middle-earth: Shadow of War
Guides onlyThis reference covers named Talion skills and upgrades described for Middle-earth: Shadow of War, the PC game identified by Steam app 356190. It focuses on what each choice does: building Might, countering, stealth kills, poisoning grog, ranged attacks, and freezing or draining enemies. Several upgrades alter a parent skill with a specific effect, while some impose stated limits, such as Last Chance Retaliation not working against Captains, graugs, or drakes. The sources mix guide descriptions with a community skill listing, so opinions and uncertain recollections are not treated as mechanics. Gear sets, gems, named equipment, exact costs, and unlock routes are outside this reference unless stated in a record.
