Thanks to Delay Turn, a character can end up going last in the entirety of the round. This move becomes useful if players are preparing some combos, or if one character far in the initiative count needs to do something first. Delay transforms into a handy tool when sturdier melee characters need to hold the brunt of an assault while mages prepare their spe
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
As far as skill goes, the Scoundrel category offers a lot of diversity and a lot of mobility. On top of the starting skills of Adrenaline, Throwing Knife, and Backlash, some solid early picks for the Rogue are Gag Order and Rupture Tendons. These two work together to fill in what are some of the small gaps in the class; Gag Order allows magic users to be silenced, allowing the player to cut down on a primary source of ranged danger and level the field into a physical fight, while Rupture Tendons causes ongoing damage while the effected enemy moves, punishing any pursuit of the rogue. On top of this skill set, it can be helpful to grab a handful of skills from Huntsman, like First Aid and Tactical Retreat, to help bump up the Rogue’s mobility that little bit furt
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
If players end up in battles where enemies immediately get the environmental advantage, they should check items in the vicinity. Are there barrels that can be adjusted? Are there explosives or special items that need to be removed so characters won’t get damaged? The earlier players ruin the opponent’s AOE strategy, the less environmental risks will be out th
Sometimes, one character might do more damage or actions if their turn happens after another character. Unfortunately, the SLG Game Updates automatically assigns initiative orders during battles. However, players can tweak with initiative a bit with Delay Turn. With this command, players won’t necessarily have to skip “bad” tu
Earth weapons are in an interesting position, with slight favoritism towards using an Earth damage staff or two-handed Strength weapon. The Vitality bonus on amulets is a bit wasted, as you will mostly only take direct health damage if you have lost your armor. It can have its uses if you are fighting enemies that deal frequent piercing damage, like assassins and rogues. The Mystical Frame bonuses are a bit contradictory: Warfare increases Physical damage, not Earth, while Geomancer is more likely to help by builds seeking more Poison damage. Still, it is possible to make a melee fighter backed with Earth magic, especially if you are Undead and can heal with the additional Poison spells. Pick up skills like Fortify, Fossil Strike, Earthquake, and Pyroclastic Eruption to round out your abilit
Aim to get to level 10 or as close as possible. Extra EXP can be acquired by exploring all of Fort Joy, including hidden passages, caves, and waterways. Complete all remaining quests, even party related ones, or ones added through updates like the Four Relics of Rivellon . Kill every remaining enemy and NPC, even if business has concluded with them. This can include the undead merchant Zaleskar in Hollow Marshes from Ifan and Sebille’s personal quest, Slane the Winter Dragon, the spectators at Fort Joy Arena, Griff, and his gang, neutral or deceived Magisters, NPCs introduced from Gift Bag updates, and more. One can also get an EXP jump by beating Dallis and Alexander while they interrogate Atusa at Fort Joy’s entrance, though that fight becomes inaccessible after entering Hollow Mars
Characters only need Aerothurge 2 to equip this spell. With Nether Swap, it becomes possible to switch the places of two characters. Not only can this make a melee character swap with a ranged character, but it can also lead to great setups such as Corpse Explosion and Raise Bloated Cor
