How to upgrade and care for your Ikran in Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora
So, once you get your hands on an Ikran, you’ll no doubt want to fly around and explore as much as possible. Whether simply free-roaming or swooping into battle, you’ll want to enhance the Ikran's abilities as soon as you can to capitalise on its abilities.
But first off, you don’t apply any upgrades directly to the Ikran itself. Instead, what you need to be doing is looking within your skills tree. This is because the enhancements are tied to the Rider skill branch, which you will need to pump points into to upgrade your Ikran.
In this Rider skill tree, there are various unlockables for you to explore. But as you will be grinding for those skill points, you may want to read the description of each. This will ensure it is right for your playstyle before spending your precious skill points.
You can also customise your Ikran with both different colours and gear, but these alterations don’t have a direct effect on the abilities of your beast. Instead, they’re just a fun addition that adds more personalisation to your playthrough.
As for caring for your Ikran, you can feed it different foods to replenish its energy, and this allows you to use the skills acquired through the Rider tree more frequently. You can pet your Ikran too, which always gives you that warm fuzzy feeling you’d get from owning a real pet.
So that’s about it when it comes to adding some extra oomph to your flying friend. Enjoy the enhancements the various skills within the Rider Tree provides!
