Leadership | New World Skills
Leadership is a passive skill for Sword And Shield users in New World. Leadership belongs to the Swordmaster Tree, which is focused primarily on dealing damage as well as slowing enemies and rending their armor. This Passive increases your group’s damage by 10% while you are using a Sword.
Active Skills for the Sword And Shield increase in efficiency with Strength as their Primary Attribute and Dexterity as their Secondary Attribute. Investing into either Attribute will increase the damage of your Sword and Shield’s basic attacks and skills, though you will see a greater bonus for investing in Strength.
