The Slayer Skill Tree can be accessed by pressing M on your keyboard (PC), pressing the leaf button on the left of your screen (mobile), or by pressing right on the dpad (Console). Slayers have three skills trees: Body, Breath (after learning) and Sword Mastery, The Body Skill Tree affects your character, the Breath Skill Tree allows you to learn more forms for your breathing style, and the Sword Mastery Skill Tree allows you to improve your swordsmanship. The shape of every Breath Skill Tree is different for each style (excluding Mist & Serpent, they have the same shape), and the Slayer Skill Tree differs from the Demon Skill Tree.
