Saints Row: The 7 Best Skills To Equip

thegamer.com:

Skills have been in the Saints Row series for a few years now. However, they work a little differently in the 2022 game. Every time you go up a level, you unlock a skill. Yet, you can only equip four at a time - the passive ones are always enabled. As such, you need to decide which ones deserve a place in your arsenal.

Unfortunately, it's not an easy choice, as you don't just need to look at what they do but also how many flow diamonds they consume. The greatest skills typically have a good balance between effectiveness and consumption. Or they're at least worth the flow they use up. The following skills are the best examples of that.

Interestingly in Saints Row, explosives are skills instead of consumable items. As such, you can equip Proximity Mine and use the explosives whenever you want. It's not the most powerful skill in the game, but it has value.

For starters, enemies usually come in groups, and the blast from the mine covers a decent-sized area. So, if you throw one in front of or directly at them, it can hurt a bunch of your foes at once. Another positive of the skill is it's one of the first you unlock, and it only costs one flow diamond to use.

An even fight in this game is a rare sight. You're usually heavily outnumbered by your foes, and you're forced to overcome the odds. You can make things a little better with the Intercession skill, though. This ability allows you to call for immediate backup.

While the likes of Eli, Kev, and Neenah won't turn up, a few generic Saints will. They're not the greatest fighters alive, but they cause some chaos and even serve as a distraction. So, it's a useful tool when you're getting overwhelmed by the enemy.
