Boosts[]
This skill can be boosted with the Nora Huntress, Nora Legacy, Utaru Warden, Utaru Whisperer, and Utaru Winterweave outfits. Upgrading the Utaru Hardweave to level 3 provides a +2 weave that can be slotted into any outfit.
A +1 weave can be purchased from Plainsong's Stitcher for 75 Metal Shards.
Consuming Sour Catch boosts the skill by 3 levels.
Trivia[]
- If someone is running a low health build, this skill will be detrimental as the HP recovered can take Aloy out of the HP thresholds required to trigger low health buffs.
- Note that the overhealth does not expire, and is not proportionate to the enemy that was damaged or killed. Thus, Aloy can silent strike a weak humanoid or low-health machine like a Burrower or Watcher for an easy kill even on higher difficulties, and this extra buffer of health will be maintained until depleted.
- With the above in mind, even a build that isn't focused on stealth can benefit from this skill. Silent Strike a weak enemy for the overhealth, then engage as usual.
- The overhealth provided by this skill can also allow Aloy to survive longer falls.
