    Most satisfying thing in this game was pairing Aelia and Lucian together in chapter5, Aelia says “take that” then Lucian says”and take this” and then the hits go brrrrrrrrrrrrrr and the purple gems just start leaking out

      You can definitely use a team of all bad characters and still clear the game very easily. However, making teams from the best characters will make it way easier and they are a lot stronger at killing bosses in one turn. I have another video explaining what makes characters good.

    Just found this. When I played through I used mystina, kashell and aelia. Combos were funky but i got quick kills. Aelia worked enough for me but her move set you have to really compensate for with spacing her attacks. Kashell… just felt like worse arngrim honestly but could hit low very effectively. And blowing the enemies away with mystina as the third pws chain. Usually chaining them as kashel, lenneth, mystina, then aelia. When i found out lewelyn was actually good i was shocked. Any tips on trying to land more of their pws in fights?

      Yes, that's what we do in the speedrun. We mostly do it because the animation of keeping the item is faster than the animation of sending up the item to Odin. You need to keep your evaluation above 0 whenever you exit a dungeon/area so you have to give up some magical items to Odin.

      Hey random update, I did actually do a balance Druid run. Died at level 35 because I had a bad case of the "I'm dumb". I thought the build was really strong though, by the time the mob gets to you, they're at 40% HP and you just bonk them the rest of the way to let your mana refill. I made a spreadsheet to calculate the damage your spells would do with each different type of opener. you have to input your min/max and mana values on the right and the rest of the sheet will update.

    So pretty much the best characters are the ones that the Gods don’t like. 1. Mystina can’t be sent to the Gods 2. Arngrim can’t be sent 3. They don’t like Gandar 4. Lucien causes issues for the Gods 5. Lenneth takes on the Gods 6. Brahms is an enemy of the Gods 7. Freya is a God 8. Lezard is an enemy of the Gods 9. Lewelin is the only one that doesn’t fit but he is probably viewed by the Gods as one of the weakest sent to them… Pretty much use the ones that piss off the Gods seems to be the hidden message of this game.

      I might be wrong but Gandar ends up more powerful than Mystina at similar levels; Mystina has the edge in being in the party longer, however. Arngrim might as well be in his own tier cause he never leaves your party ever (at least for me).

    I came here bcs wanted to play this game again but man whats this tier list 😂 Maybe my first question is, do you play for the A ending? Next, have you reach seraphic gate? In this game every char will work, but putting arngirm so high is just... Sad 😢 even midgame, all heavy sword only has 1 move and for arngrim, its the punch 😅 And man whats that llwelyn tier 😂 unblockable attack? Wait reaction is crying at the corner of the room

    • @psyonicpanda
      @psyonicpanda ปีที่แล้ว

      List is not for Seraphic Gate. Arngrim has a PWS that almost always caps out the gauge so you can use him as a builder for your mages. He is also very tanky, you get him early so you can use him the whole game, and he does a lot of damage outside of PWS. You can clear the game with any team but if you're playing an optimized team, it's different. Wait Reaction sucks because you're assuming that it's ever active when most good teams will kill any story boss in 2 turns. You never really want your mages on CD and Llwelyn makes melee comps viable. Having access to a guard break is so nice and you get him very early.

Troll might be the best for Berserking Attack Speed. 3. Level with Staves for a while. Firestone isn't technically worth it until Firestone (Rank 2) but you can use it as soon as you get it, if you want. 4. When pulling casters, pull with Curse of Tongues to slow their cast, then instantly swap it to Agony and then run out of range. You'll build Agony damage and take 0 damage and be able to pull them back.

      Haha, it's not bad after the first ten levels. It's not a pure melee Warlock, I allowed myself to use curses and drains and utility spells. No shadowbolt, wands, immolate, corruption, etc. Also don't use a Voidwalker unless the pull is impossible without it. A short guide: 1-10 sucks, use curse of weakness to reduce damage and kite like this video. Buy a Gladius when you can. Get in a few hits before telling your imp to attack for threat. You can do Hogger pretty early, just pull him close to the water and fear+agony until he dies. Once you get the Hogger staff, it's easy sailing. You can even swap to curse of agony over Weakness, if you want.

    Swing timer addon is called WeaponSwingTimer SixxFix. Also, don't do this against anything that has a charging attack like a Boar or maybe Raptors. They won't use those dash attack if you stay in melee range. If you are not using a 2 handed weapon, and you are about to swing before your opponent, you can walk back about 0.3 or 0.4 seconds before your swing is going to go off. Sometimes you will end up at max melee range, get your swing off, and then within that 0.3/0.4 second window you will walk out of the enemy's melee range. You will essentially be able to get 2 hits in before they can hit you once. It's not as good as doing it with a 2 hander but you can use it to take less damage that way.
