Since this is a beginner build mostly focused towards combat, the only logical choice here is the hunted small game adolescence.

Athletics is also granted by attention to detail, which is a popular choice for arena.

This allows your build to become a bit more diverse in terms of combat. On the other hand, attention to detail gives you one handed combat mastery meaning that you can use any one-handed weapon with a shield in case the Poleaxe and Lances aren't for you. Skill with horses is excellent because it gives you a point in Riding and Medicine. The childhood backstory has two choices for us in this particular beginner build: skill with horses and attention to detail. For this particular melee beginner build we'll go with: Baron's Retainers. In case you'd want to prioritize Poleaxes and Bows then Baron's Retainers are the ones that'll give you an edge there.

For example, if you want to use a Crossbow then the Mercenaries Family is going to be the best choice. This is pretty important as you'll have to pick and choose the most appropriate family depending on what weapon you want to use for each of these skills. A thing to note is that you're most probably going to want to specialize in one melee skill, one ranged skill. What Family to pick?Īs you start making your character, the first main decision that you're gonna have to do is pick the Family that 'you' originate from. In this particular Bannerlord guide we'll be showcasing the Best Beginner Build for Mount And Blade 2 Bannerlord that will work great for new players so that they don't have to worry about the skill tree choices at first. There are a plethora of builds that you can try such as: melee tank, rogue with a bow or simply a role-playing merchant. The game is balanced around these things but generally there are going to be some skill tree unlocks which are more useful than others. Bannerlord characters are all about picking the right build and skill tree progression to fit your playstyle.
