Bannerlord Endurance Perks: Athletics¶

The Athletic perk tree is particularly useful in almost all combat scenarios. The default speed of your character is rather slow compared with your troops, so it is a good idea to invest in athletics as soon as possible. While this will be done naturally by moving around on the battlefield and in tournaments, you can increase the rate of learning by investing in athletic attribute points and focus points. Most of the perks will increase the speed and health of you and your troops, though you will need to choose between the first three perks based on your combat preferences.
