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

At a glance, it's easy to see why most merchants don't drop everything they own when a player unceremoniously finishes them off. This can potentially break the balance of the SLG Game Tips since all players need to do is kill the owners of certain skill books and powerful pieces of equipment to make things easier for themselves in the long

When an ally dies within 12 meters of you, they spawn as a Zombie Crawler for three turns. Said Crawlers gain a bonus from your Summoning. Not the most ideal talent, as it is better to prevent death in the first place. Still, it can have uses in boss fights where dying is highly probable. In those cases, team members should also take Unstable so that they deal additional damage when dy

For your first three skills consider Battle Stomp for area damage (it will deal elemental damage if you wield a staff, but will not Knock Down if the target has Physical armor). Take two of the three: Ignition to light enemies aflame, Searing Daggers to create Fire surfaces, and Haste to improve your AP regeneration. You will also have All In if you wield a two-handed weapon, or Staff of Magus ranged attack with an elemental staff. For the first Talent, Torturer will let you inflict Burn status even if enemies have Magical armor, or Opportunist to get free attacks on moving targ

Apotheosis (5 Polymorph): All other Source skills cost 0 Source for three turns. If you have the AP reserves to use other Source skills, this can be very game breaking. This can allow you to instantly use other skills like Skin Graft, Thick of the Fight, Dome of Protection (Custom Character), Demonic Stare (Red Prince), or Time W

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

Specializing in Geomancy will give the Conjurer access to the Poison Infusion and Acid Infusion Summoning abilities. Geomancy uses the powers of earth and poison to deal damage and stay on the battlefield. Taking Geomancy will likely make the Conjurer more of a melee fighter and tank. The best Geomancer abilities that would work best with the Conjurer are Contamination, Fortify, Oily Carapace, Turn to Oil, Mend Metal, Reactive Armor, Worm Tremor, Summon Artillery Plant, Siphon Poison, and Living W

Whenever someone uses a Source Skill, you have a 1/5 chance of gaining Source; it requires being level 6. This talent is best used once your party can hold three Source Points, likely near the end of Reaper’s Coast around level 15 or 16. The party should have some kind of synergy when using Source Skills of the same damage type, like Arrow Storm and Grasp of the Starved, which are both physical attacks. Greedy Soul is less useful for reactionary and healing Source powers you might not use as of

Because Divine Talents are off during character creation, players will normally have to wait until level 3 for their first Gift Bag talent. However, this can be bypassed by not spending your first talent point, and then distribute it once in the campaign. You can also turn on the Fort Joy Magic Mirror Gift Bag and rush to the arena in order to retr

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

Spider Legs (2 Polymorph): Fire off webs that prevent enemies from moving and grants you Haste if you step in them. The webs can also spread fire already laid out by yourself or an ally. A great control ability, but cannot be used at the same time as Spread Your Wi

Xhaxh’s Staff of Parasitic Decay (Poison Staff): a possible reward for slaying Xhaxh during the quest A Taste of Freedom , started inside Mordus’ basement in Reaper’s Coast. Boosts Memory and Necroman
