Starfield Martial Arts skill overview
The Starfield Martial Arts skill is a tier 3 skill in the Physical skill tree. It, as with all Starfield skills, has 4 ranks, beginning at rank 1 and ending at rank 4. In order to progress up the Martial Arts skill tree, you will need to complete various skill challenges related to the skill in question, and increase your Starfield level to earn skill points. Each rank requires a skill point to unlock.
The Martial Arts skill buffs melee and unarmed attacks by giving you buffs while unarmed or weilding a melee weapon. As this skill is ranked you will have a chance to disarm opponents with a melee or unarmed power attack, upon reaching rank 4 you will be able to reflect 50% of damage when blocking an unarmed or melee attack.
This skill would be great for any brawler type builds or anyone looking to be more effective in melee combat.
