Gotham Knights and its new RPG systems have given Batman’s newest student a variety of skills to develop over the course of the campaign. Tim Drake’s Robin rounds out the youngest (and shortest) of the Bat-Family group, but that doesn’t mean the Boy Wonder is a pushover compared to his masked colleagues.
Robin is the stealth-centric hero, offering up plenty of ways to silently take down criminals in quick succession without drawing unwanted attention. The four skill trees available — Slugger, Shadow, Tinkering and Knighthood — all work to back up this sneaky playstyle. Here is every skill you can unlock for Robin.
