Mechanics
What Nimble Climber does
Nimble Climber improves the speed of climbing and vaulting. It changes traversal tempo rather than damage, inventory capacity or stamina recovery, so its value appears whenever a route repeatedly crosses low walls and climbable geometry.
Build fit
Who should take it
Use it in mobile solo builds, rapid extraction plans and any allocation that continues deeper into the Mobility branches. Faster transitions can reduce the time spent exposed during common vault animations.
Tradeoff
What the points do not solve
Points here do not directly improve combat output or looting. A build that rarely commits to traversal may prefer to stop before maximum rank and fund a more specific branch.
Picking order
When to allocate it
It is the root Mobility skill and has no tree-point threshold. Early ranks open both main Mobility paths; add later ranks when traversal speed is central to the build rather than filling it automatically.
