Upgrades range from new attack powers to simply improving your healing boost. Some of these early skills are absolutely necessary if you want to survive for long, as Cal and his droid buddy BD-1 battle increasingly difficult swarms of Imperial forces. In my experience, you will want to focus on health and survival. The earlier you can survive, the more skills and powers you will gain that will facilitate subsequent battles.

Unlock These Skill Tree Upgrades First | Beginner's Guide
The skill tree is a menu that you can access from any meditation circle. Below are my personal recommendations for which early skills you want to unlock first.
These skills focus on survivability - depending on your personal playstyle, you might prefer something different. There is no correct objective choice. Therefore, if you are playing on an easier difficulty and want to get by, you will have no problem selecting attacks only.
Skills to unlock first:
- Survival techniques: Maximum Cal life increased.
- Upper blocking: Cal's defenses are improved, allowing him to take less block damage on incoming attacks.
Both of these skills are essential to your survival early in the game. Later you can take Improved survival skills et Harmonization force further improve Cal's abilities.
The next skills you'll want:
- Dash Strike: Cal rushes forward and attacks his target. Jump while rushing to flip the target instead.
- Empowered Slow: Holding slowly allows Cal to slow his target longer.
These offensive abilities are incredibly useful. Dash Strike (And Sprint Strike) make your life easier in difficult combat situations - they can pass through enemy shields. This is especially useful when trying to deal with Nightbrothers on Dathomir.
Empowered Slow is obvious. It makes Slow even better. Slow is an amazing ability in combat to control crowds of enemies. Just blow an enemy slowly and be able to defeat them quickly.
In essence, it's a good idea to start with the Survival tree first. Upgrading spells and everything in the survival tree should be your priority at higher difficulty levels, and unlocking these skills will give you more leeway against baddies and tough bosses.
