Best Freya skills in God of War Ragnarok

Freya, who was first introduced in God of War (2018), aided Kratos and Atreus in their journey to reach the highest peak in the nine realms. Towards the end of Ragnarok, she becomes a companion of Kratos. Freya has a total of three skill trees (Vanir Magic, Archery, and Valkyrie), each focusing on a different aspect of her character. Let's take a look at the best skills for each tree.

• Best Freya Vanir Magic skill - Entangled Grip: As a Vanir goddess, Freya has quite a few spells up her sleeves, but none as effective as Entangled Grip. She can summon vines to grab and hold enemies at a place, making it easier for Kratos to attack. Upgrading it will increase the duration of the grab and add passive poison damage.
• Best Freya Archery skill - Arrow Empowerment: As a companion, Freya assists Kratos in combat by shooting enemies with arrows. Her Arrow Empowerment adds runic arrows with extra damage, and upgrading it further increases the damage dealt.
• Best Freya Valkyrie skill - Valkyrie Blade: Freya's Valkyrie abilities are quite strong on their own, and one would be hard-pressed to determine the best one. However, Valkyrie Blade gives the ability to coordinate attacks with Kratos, leading to more consistent damage.

The three skill trees in God of War Ragnarok, along with their in-game descriptions, are as follows.
