Conjure Incarnate – Summon a creature that will match the element of the ground they are cast out of. The element will affect what type of damage they deal and what abilities they have access too. Incarnate will last until killed or combat ends. Once the player character reaches level 10 in summoning they will summon a giant Incarnate Champion instead that deals 50% more dam
All that being said, the player doesn’t have to invest in any other skill lines outside of the two that are given in the base class. Instead of investing in those two and Dual Wielding will be enough. In Polymorph, the most useful skills will be: Chicken Claw, Chameleon Cloak, Spider Legs, Terrain Transmutation, Medusa’s Head, any of the skin abilities, Forced Exchange, and Apotheosis. In Scoundrel, the most useful abilities are Backlash, Throwing Knife, Cloak and Dagger, Corrupted Blade, Terrifying Cruelty, Fan of Knives, and Mortal B
The Lizard Metamorph’s innate Resistances allow them to stay in the frontlines without many risks, especially from spellcasters who usually like slinging fire and poison effects in their direction. This also makes the Lizard Metamorph relatively tanky, making them effective pawns for the team’s spellcasters to have a more solid AOE by using them as the main point of their explosive abilities. The Lizard may even be able to piggyback on such a strategy with their own flame breath or assortment of transforming atta
When it comes to skills, players likely want to look for those that deal massive AOE. However, it might help players more if they also rely on skills that set up powerful combos. One such skill is Battle Stomp which, despite its limited damage, does pack a lot of benef
Players can carry almost any kind of interactive object in the game – from candles to crates. Unfortunately, exceeding a character’s weight capacity won’t allow them to move except via Waypoints. Thankfully, the Telekinesis spell allows players to “move” (sometimes throw) items to various locations – most of the time to make them expl
In this game, players are able to use a very fluid class system where their initial class doesn’t have to stay within its original bounds. As such, don’t be afraid to commit to a class, they can always be changed later on. Shadowblades start with an investment in two skill lines; Polymorph and Scound
As such, players should develop the habit of using Examine on opponents more often. This function becomes handy when identifying enemies that can trigger attacks of opportunity on melee (via the Opportunist talent). Moreover, getting a basic idea of what Talents NPCs possess generally gives some insight to their usual battle strateg
Essentially, players who want a Pyrokinetic-focused character might want to start with the Wizard. They gain the Skills Searing Daggers, Ignition, and Fossil Strike (Geomancer) on the get-go – providing players with both melee and long-range fire options. The Pyrokinetic Skill Tree already boasts easily accessible Skills to characters as well – such as buffs (Haste, Peace of Mind), or a mean Fireb
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, so it can be wise to just keep a ranged weapon on hand for a tight situat
Thankfully, players can create starting characters that can suit first-time plays without sacrificing a quality experience. Such examples include capitalizing on an Elf’s extra movement potential and the Wayfarer’s expanded toolkit, as well as the Lizard’s elemental resistance and the Metamorph’s penchant for unique atta
Polymorph is a skill-based around transforming the player character. These transformations give the character a short-lived ability , anything from invisibility to charging at the enemy like a bull. Polymorph is especially useful for stealthy characters with the Chameleon Cloak which gives the character invisibility. However, Polymorph becomes more useful the farther along in the game the player goes. The Polymorph skill becomes great for crowd control and leveling the playing field with skills like Terrain Transmutation, Forced Exchange, and Character-Driven Storytelling Equal
The Wayfarer class should balance out ranged attacks and magic. Concentrate on boosting the damage of your ranged attacks with 3 Finesse only. Crossbows should be your main weapon for large damage, but also consider bows if you want to avoid the movement penalty. Be sure to also stock up on different arrows, which can change your elemental damage and cause some status effects. While normally boosting your character’s bonus Civil Ability (Bartering on humans, Loremaster on Elves, etc) is helpful, consider specifically going for Stealth or Telekine
