The Chapter 3 update in Dune Awakening has introduced the Specializations system that allows you to customize your endgame builds with plenty of freedom.

Specializations are endgame abilities that have different categories. You have to equip them based on what type of build you want to run. Plenty of XP is also required to unlock more Specializations, and getting all of them unlocked can be quite a grind.
