The go-to weapon for the rogues is the dagger. The exceptional mobility provided by the class makes them uniquely suited to maneuvering around enemies to get the big pop of extra damage from a backstab. Simply move into the radius behind the chosen enemy (depicted as a triangular field with a dagger icon) and attack as typical. It is important to note that not all abilities benefit from the backstab position – check to make sure that the chosen attack makes use of the boost to ensure that AP and recharge time are not being wasted. Rogues can also be quite effective at a distance, but many scoundrel skills rely on being up close, Emblem Rings so it can be wise to just keep a ranged weapon on hand for a tight situat
The base Battlemage during character creation (or if you recruit a companion) is 1 Strength, 1 Intelligence, 1 Constitution, 1 Warfare, 1 Aerotheurge, 1 Persuasion; Battering Ram, Shocking Touch, Blinding Radiance skills and the Comeback Kid Talent. While Air damage is serviceable, you can cause much more destruction by beginning with Fire damage and adding in other elements la
As noted before, Strength should be your primary attribute. Every few levels defer a bit to Memory for more skill slots, Wits to improve crit rate and initiative, or Constitution to meet shield requirements. Note that each point in Polymorph will also give an extra attribute point to spend. Warfare will increase your raw Physical attacks. You should also grab whatever combat abilities to meet skill requirements, like Scoundrel and Necroman
On most level ups you should raise your primary selected attribute, Strength or Intelligence based on weapon. Every few levels also put a point into Wits for critical hit rate, Memory for skill slots, and Strength for heavy armor (if you are wielding a staff). Warfare will give a multiplicative damage boost to your Physical damage, while Pyrokinetic will do the same for Fire damage. Also consider Two-Handed, which will give an additive bonus to all damage types (even better if you are dealing other elements, like Poison or Air) and increase your critical damage multiplier. Also take combat abilities for skill requirements, like Geomancer or Necroman
One option is to quickly leap or teleport on to the stern mast and fire down arrows and magic at Dallis. Because melee characters are a tad useless in this strategy, it may be good to temporality respec to a ranged build just for the encounter. Rouge built characters can easily become archers, while warriors may be able to utilize some physical based magic like Necromancy. This route can leave Malady and Gareth as sitting ducks, so it is advised to have maximum damage output at the cost of defense. Consider using the Glass Cannon talent for more AP and abuse Fane’s Time Warp Source ability to get a free t
Malady will transport the entire ship to the Hall of Echoes after around four or so turns complete. This means this strategy can be completed by stalling, avoiding damage, and healing. Place buffs on Malady like Armor of Frost, Fortify, Uncanny Evasion, and Living on the Edge as needed. One will notice that several of the enemies lack certain armor, making them vulnerable to different status effects. The bow and staff Silent Monks can be hit with physical effects like Knock Down and Atrophy; the sword Silent Monk and Weaponized Monks can be hit with magic status like Sleep, Frozen, and Petrify. The Gheists have both armor types, but less physical than magical. They are also the most deadly of the targets, so distract them and keep them away from Mal
The Wayfarer is a hybrid class, utilizing both ranged attacks and defensive spell casting. As with other dual classes , you will need to decide if you want to spread evenly or focus in one aspect. And if you change your mind, there is always the option of retraining your charact
Attributes are the main points that make up what a character can do. They are broken down into strength, finesse, intelligence, constitution, memory, and wits. Each of these boost certain abilities and what the character is capable of wearing and using. For the witch, players will want to focus on dumping points into finesse and intelligence. Finesse enables the player to use better daggers and light armor while increasing the amount of damage they deal with a finesse based weapon and critical damage. Intelligence affects wearable items as well as the amount of damage magic abilities deal. Other attributes that may need a little love are memory and wits. Memory effects how many skills a character can use at once, while wits effects their initiative and critical cha
The encounter with Dallis can be quite a shock if one isn’t expecting it. There are no shops between Fort Joy’s docks and the voyage aboard the Lady Vengeance. This means all shopping should be done before agreeing to depart Fort Joy, and hopefully, some merchants are still alive given the player’s ability to rampage within urban districts. One should make sure their team is outfitted with good and diverse skill books, high-level equipment, and expendables such as potions and status affecting arrows. Buy and steal items from anyone left in the Fort Joy Ghetto, Seeker Encampment, and other locati
