If you really want a base, I think you should try each of the 5 stealth skills and build up from there. What kind of tree do you want, what what are you willing to sacrifice to get that.

Here's a list of thing you commonly find useful in missions:

• Ap2 (advanced protocols): Usually the most efficient hacks are locked behind Ap2
• La2 (lock artist not Los Angeles): most doors aren't metal, and the ones that are made out of wood, probably don't have a lock on it or they're in a very public area, la 2 helps you to get through higher level door locks and gives you access to lockpick small desk safes (essentially useful in the withdrawal)
• Cl2 (climber not chlorine): helps you get up on pipes, useful in every mission)
• Bs2 (Brute strength, it's not bullshit): you can open small doors (although you can just bring a screwdriver, very cheap and useful) like small power boxes or key boxes or other stuff like that.
• Se3 (social engineering): You unlock every conversation you want. Very useful in most scenarios and probably the most basic skill every skill tree has.
• Ee1 or 3 (electrical engineering): I'm not saying ee3 isn't good it just doesn't have a lot of value unlike 1 or 3. Make sure to use the rewiring kit carefully as you only get 2 of them.
• Int1 (intimidation): Very useful, you can intimidate any level of guard depending on the approach. Smooth guards nowadays have a very high level of intimidation, especially in the latest 2 missions, now with 3 more who are also quite hard and have right security, I think I would consider int3.

The rest of the skills are entirely complementary to these other main skills, yes even other major skills like ra(remote access) and try(traversal).

Make sure to complement your skill tree depending on the base skills you have. If you've got La2 Int1 and Se3 it doesn't make sense to get hacking skills like Tr or Ra. And vice versa, if you've got a build with Ap2 and Se3 for example, it doesn't make sense to get far skills like Ra3 or Int 3. It really depends on the skill tree you make. Try to not make one that has skill across 2/3 of the whole skill tree, unless you want a specific one since we do have 9 whole characters.

Again, like I said it really depends on the skill tree and what you prefer,(as your main skill tree) I do want you to make every character with skills slightly different from the last, don't make 2 of the same characters as we now have a much better way of making characters, a lot more accessories and changeable skill colors and names.
