Best Training Skills For Uncle Ivankov
Training Skills are the additional skills you can activate on Uncle Ivankov, picture them basically as borrowed skills from other officers you have. This adds a lot of tactical depth but also requires you to use the skills that are actually effective!

But here comes the pickle with the Training Skills – there are hundred of them and you can only use the ones that you have build on your officers so most of the time you might hear that a training skill is the best, but it is an exotic officer you don’t have. That’s why we wanted to give you a selection of skills that work so you can pick the ones that you can actually pick.
Attention! Please check the skills yourself which ones have the highest percentages since you probably won’t have them all maxed out. That’s why we didn’t made a priority to them.
