A quick question - which two traits are the most powerful pick for the starting characters? - Nimble, Strong etc (5% stat increase) - Solitary or Cooperative (10% damage increase) - Bloodthirsty (+3% crit） I am leaning towards 5% stat increase trait and solitary / cooperative and i wonder if it is correct?
Quick answer - the best trait in the game is solitary, but you cant choose it as starting trait. So for me the best starting traits are bloodthirsty and quick. Nimble is nice but it only start to give actual benefits in the very late game. You can see here even with broken amount of dex we only get 13. So yeah I find more utility and usefulness in Quick/Bloodthirsty for starting characters. Cheers!
@@hexxatgaming Disagree. It all depends on the class. Bloodthirsty is a staple for pretty much every character(except tanks which should be the +Constitution), if you're using rangers/archers/spearmen then you pick +dex. For Warriors, brutes, swordsman then choose the +str. So theoretically a Ranger should have Bloodthirsty and Nimble, a 2H warrior Bloodthirsty and Strong, but your Brute tank would have Brawny and Strong. For recruitables cooperative/solitary are amazing but, for me at least, I never take a recruit that doesn't at least have bloodthirsty, my DPS mercs always have at minimum 25-30% crit chance base when checking their stats I check traits > willpower > crit/str/dex/con in that order. By end game I'm rolling with literal gods among men that one shot anything below heavy armor.
Ah, where to start... first of all Spearman uses str not dex. If you can't kill your enemies before your tank's armor is done and you have to take health dmg and therefore injuries... your dps is lacking. Your tank can actually kill stuff. If you don't waste his potential with con that is. And thirdly %stat traits, except for bloodthirsty, are generally bad for onr handed weapons. That's because one handed weapons have lower stat bonus, except for dagger. So while nimble can be viable, all others are bad. How much str you got on your tank? 50? Thats 2.5 str bonus str from stong trait. That's absolute garbage lol. Anyway enjoy the game however you like. Cheers
So i rewatched it.... What happens is the required level stays the same' but it upgrades to a higher level with more stats? Is that brcause you merca are level 12, but your prisoner is level 15?
That's a totally possible. Im only using it to have fun with high dmg on a separate save. It's basically an exploit. Game is too easy without it anyway.
You get level 14 encounters in Drombach on Expert Combat level. This includes recruiting level 14 White Bears, Polar Wolves, etc. and capturing level 14 ponies off merchant convoys.
Holy cow , it's so broken it should be a war crime. Aoe weapons are basic nukes with this exploit. Archer Barrage would also be hilarious Well time to take some prisoners ⛓
Yes, I used to get a bunch of bears and research the tomb weapons to get higher levels. Before upgrading was a thing. But the most broken thing here is the level requirement cap is 12 for lvl 15 weapons.

for some reason i thought you could dual wield stuff in this game - saw a reddit on the topic?
You can use off-hand stuff. Like throwing knives and axes, aslo a torch and some bomb type throwables.
@@hexxatgaming oh so no dual wield daggers then!? :(
@@retroafro1 If you wanna go for the matching looks, for dagger + throwing knife combo, or the poison throwing dagger once you leave Tiltren
So i rewatched it....

I think level requirements are capped at 12. Because when I fight lvl 14 group they drop items with requirement of lvl 12
@@hexxatgaming does it still work?
Great trick! 😂 My concern is that if they increase the level cap, then from 12 to 14 I have to use other weaker weapons 😅
That's a totally possible. Im only using it to have fun with high dmg on a separate save. It's basically an exploit. Game is too easy without it anyway.
I agree!
I cannot switch from “Limited Save” to “Free Save” right?
Not that I know of :/
Yeah, me neither
Where did you get 14 level prisoners
Everywhere. That's why I keep saying im my videos - play adaptive mode.
@@hexxatgaming shit... is there a way to change to adaptive, with file editing or else
Not that I know of. But check reddit.
You get level 14 encounters in Drombach on Expert Combat level. This includes recruiting level 14 White Bears, Polar Wolves, etc. and capturing level 14 ponies off merchant convoys.
Oh cool I didn't know you can capture ponies lmao.
How can we get that dagger man?
Gosenberg tomb.
Holy cow , it's so broken it should be a war crime. Aoe weapons are basic nukes with this exploit. Archer Barrage would also be hilarious
Well time to take some prisoners ⛓
Comment your highest dmg haha
So by simply having a level 14/15 prisoner that uses the same weapon as the one you’re upgrading will allow for bigger numbers?
I thought you could upgrade a weapon forever and ever?
The rule is that you have to have a character that can use it, in order to upgrade it.
Oh… i seee
But what's broken about it is that the level requirement is capped at 12. So yeah 320 dex lmao
Still working?
sadly, its not. maybe if we can recruit the prisoners, then we can upgrade the said weapons.🥲
Yes, it's the old trick to get high level legendary weapons. It should have been banned a long time ago)))

@@hexxatgaming Exactly. In the beta version of the game, this was justified, but now it looks like a relic of the past. Nice job))
