Okay. I know the name is corny. I'm trying to make it fit with the pre-established Skyblock theme. Run with me.
Introduction
Mining already has a skill tree, and it’s been confirmed that Foraging is going to get one when the update drops. So, I figured Combat could use one too. So, the Heart of the Warrior was born. It’s a somewhat generic name, but I wanted it to match up with Heart of the Forest and Heart of the Mountain.
Heart of the Warrior
Heart of the Warrior is a combat skill tree upgraded using Warrior Tokens, which are unlocked from major quests and from leveling the Combat skill.
The tree has 3 main branches - mage, berserk, and archer. These branches then have their own sub-classes. Before it splits up into 3 branches, though, there’s the main body of the tree. This is a single path with optional sections to the side.
This main path is unlocked when reaching Combat I, with the split path being unlocked at Combat 30.
Warrior Tokens
By default, a token is unlocked every 5 Combat levels, which means that there are only 12 tokens unlocked from the skill. However, more tokens can be obtained for other sources. Notably, one token is obtained from every Reputation milestone in the Crimson Isle. So, this means an additional 8 tokens can be obtained from maxing out both factions.
Tokens can also be obtained from major quests. These include the Bartender’s Kill Zombies quest, the Lone Adventurer’s quest, and Grandma Wolf’s quest. One token is also obtained after beating major bosses - Arachne, the Ender Dragon (any type), Kuudra, and Necron (both F7 and M7) all reward Warrior Tokens. Three additional tokens can also be obtained from upgrading one of the perks.
This means the total number of tokens obtainable is 23. This isn’t that many - there are 78 perks available. Heart of the Mountain also has a maximum of 23 tokens available (19 from leveling, 4 from Peak of the Mountain). So, players should choose their perks carefully. Each token grants +5 Skyblock XP when used.
The Heart of the Warrior tree can be reset at any time, refunding all tokens. It costs 100,000 coins to reset. All Skyblock XP is removed. The Warrior’s Peak is not reset, similarly to the Peak of the Mountain.
Unlike Heart of the Mountain, there is no powder associated with the Heart of the Warrior tree. So, perks cannot be upgraded. There is a Peak of the Mountain equivalent with 10 tiers, though, as well as three “Mastery” tiers that can be upgraded up to 50 times.
The Tree
The “Mastery” tiers can be upgraded up to 49 times for a coin and material cost. Mage uses Enchanted Glowstone, Berserk uses Enchanted Rotten Flesh, and Archer uses Enchanted Gunpowder. Each tier costs 1,000,000 + 1,000,000*Tier coins and 16 + 16*Tier materials. Every upgrade increases the damage by +0.5%, making the maximum buff +25% damage. All damage increases are multiplicative.
The Warrior’s Peak is unlocked at Tier I, and can be upgraded to Tier X for a cost of Combat XP. It costs 2,500,000 * NextTier XP to upgrade, with XP being deducted from your Combat Level (you can lose a combat level and the skyblock xp associated with it). Each tier grants a unique buff as well as Skyblock XP. These buffs are explained later.
Players are not locked to one tree - you can purchase perks from different trees. However, this is not really optimal because of how few tokens you get. It will also result in -10% damage of all types.

Outro
That's all! Hopefully you liked it. This is my first time doing something like this, I might do more. Feedback is appreciated!! The formatting got a bit wrecked on the tree itself. If you want to read it as a google doc instead, HERE's the link.
