    Side note for the people here actually enjoying the game, you can get rift crystals from people renting your pawn and repairing rift stones in the open world, i dunno if there's a third way but it's not a premium currency, art of metamorphosis is even the cheapest item you can buy with rift crystals so don't listen to the people complaining about the "micro transactions" they exist but it's not necessary. You can get everything except the pre order weapons and the pre order ring from the game itself

    Some good tips and a basis for how you want to think about party comp. My only slight concern with a sort of meta forming around making your main pawn either warrior or sorcerer is that it would mean the rift would be flooded with those vocations and pawns not of those vocations, ie; the crucial mages, would become less common to find and hire...

    I'm an archer and I have the heavenly shot skill, so my party comp is fighter, warrior, mage and myself currently. Although, I find that fighter, fighter and mage works better since the pawns are better at using fighter and mage than any other vocation. Also, since I'm in the back dealing massive damage, I like to have two tanks drawing aggro from the bosses; and and vocation can fairly easily deal with trash mobs.

My party travel for days at a time without needing to rest. Don’t even need the mage to have any offensive skill, cuz celerity basically helps with the party dps buff already. Idk why they decided to make this move buff your movement speed AND your actions. Cuz holy, the fighter and the thief in my party, the moment they get buffed, melts anything they see.

  • @MishaXG
    @MishaXG 4 місяці тому +9

    First thing first: there's no "best pawn" for the simple reason that you have YOUR pawn + 2 other pawns.
    So if there was a "best pawn" then you would have 3 times the same pawns which would be useless.
    In reality the best thing if you want to focus on pawns for allies: support pawns like "Tank", "Healer/Support", "Sorcerer/Archer" (with good stuff abilities). Dmg fighters & Rogue will bring less to a majority of comps cause most players will play dmg dealers in a way or another.
    The 2nd best thing is "Specialisation" which is super important, you can make a pawn to make farm easier, heal in combat and so on... so better try to use things that other pawns arent doing.
    The 3rd is knowledge that is great to give usefull tips / tricks for combat (all those medals) + ofc quests but it's less important. (medals also give a good idea if the pawn discover a lot of the map or not which is a great advantage to find chests and so on)

    Honestly feel like Trickster can be included with Fighter and Warrior, it’s like a tank in that it has enemies attacking your clones which is even nicer than someone probably getting hit. It’s like a tank/support more than anything.

    Pick thief as main pawn, give him a bit of gear, all damage skills but legendary one that is the one that makes him dodge for free one attack and he will be both pretty much since he dodges often and most of the time will be running the legendary skill, so they will be unkilleable and do an atrocious ammount of damage. As it was on the first game, helm splitter (or whatever the english name was, the skill that you jump and do an attack roll in the air) is absurdly strong for pawns

    keep an eye out for pawns with augments from vocations other than the one they're currently using. That generally means they're the pawn of somebody who knows how the game works and has set them up in a useful fashion. Like a mage with the increased intelligence augment from sorceror, that sort of thing. Stuff that makes sense for the role you want them to play as opposed to random augments slapped together.

    I found the perfect mage pawn from the discord and added the person so I am just going to keep that pawn with me always, then my main pawn is a simple thief with woodland wordsmith to do good damage and also steal and collect items for me and make dealing with elves easy, then the last slot will be either an archer if I am playing a frontliner or a Warrior if I am not will also try to get one with quest knowledge too. The mage I got has Celestial Paean, Fire Affinty, High Palladium, and High Levin so a bit different than what you said but I think these skills are still really good.

The fighter pulls aggro and can launch me onto larger beasts and my mage drops heals the whole time. I’m level 34 and I’ve only legit died one time with this party configuration.
    It’s also super important to constantly upgrade your main pawn along with your MC. Don’t worry about dropping gold for yourself and your pawn because the game seems to rain gold.

    @firstswordcorvus7368 4 місяці тому

    Not gonna try to read 100+ comments, but I want to point out the speciality chrirugeon cause you'll find a lot of plants to craft into potions. Give the pawns a portion of your potions and they'll try to heal you or your other pawns when they can. And it's easy to get from an early side quest, but the NPC won't give it to you until after you arrive in the first big city. Still very early in the game. I haven't put it on myself or my pawn yet, but have recruited pawns with chrirugeon speciality. It's been a pretty good replacement for having a mage, is it better than a mage? I don't think so, but it isn't bad at all when you remember to craft. I always have an overabundance of potions from gathering everything like I'm playing Skyrim. Ofc Josh covers it at the end of the video 😂, but that speciality with kind-hearted thief has worked wonders for me cause they get around fast

    Genuinely I have a hard time recommending anyone take an archer pawn. You would think they would be hard coded to prioritize taking out flying/hard to reach enemies so you can focus on the things on the ground as a warrior or fighter, but as someone playing my party's main tanky chunky melee boy, my number one frustration is falling asleep to harpies when they should be plucked out of the sky in moments.

    • @RaidenKaiser

      Similar to people recommending fighter over warrior pawns. In theory they would be right but in practice both thief and warrior are leagues better than archer and fighter in my experience. Warrior pawns have alot less trouble holding aggro and making foes flinch/knocking them down which fighter is OK at until you run into anything stronger than a goblin/wolf. Thief is stupid busted early game like they kill shit so fast its almost too good I feel disappointed that I wasn't able to participate cuz they wiped everything out lol.

    Every time you mentioned other classes for the Arisen, you never mentioned Trickster... Everything we learned pre launch made it feel like it falls somewhere between Tank and Support, so if we play the Trickster are we taking the Tank Slot from Fighter/Warrior, the Support Slot from Mage, or does that depend on the build/skill loadout we choose?
    Do we need a Trickster addendum later on since maybe you haven't put enough time into it yet? Or are you just labeling it as "advanced strategies" from the get go and thus ignored it for 21m?

    My go to is fighter pawn from the rift making sure they’re set up as a tank with provocation and shield summon, my main pawn is a sorcerer with meteor equipped (u get it from finishing spellbound quest, GET IT if you don’t have it!!), mage from the rift making sure they have mostly healing and buffing abilities set up when picking one out, and then I usually play as mystic spear putting the invincibility bubble on everybody as much as I can and sapping stamina as soon as I run out or sometimes I play as magic archer just for fun and extra healing/revival. I can really be about any vocation with that setup and it’s easy mode as long as everybody’s stats look good (good weapons and armor equipped. ALWAYS compare pawn’s stats and skills equipped when picking one out). If they don’t have fighters set up like tanks and mages set up like white mage/healer/buffers, they’re playing the game wrong. If someone managed to transfer the provocation augment to a warrior, they can make awesome tanks as well, but unfortunately they don’t have shield summons or whatever the advanced form of shield summons is called…
