Can I beat the game with any archetype?

[CrescentMouse]

I don't want to end up accidentally picking a bad archetype cause I thought it sounded cool. I want to play the Titan Fighter, will it beat the game?

Probably not on Unfair, but on Core & below - sure.

[Wendrig]

shoud ne no Problem on Core and lower as Irx said.

Even on unfair you can do it. You have 6 party members, whatever weakness your archetype has, it can be mitigated by another character.

Party composition is far more important than individual chars.

I'm playing a Titan Fighter in my current playthrough and haven't had any major problems on "Hard" difficulty so far.

Considering that my MC is following the Azata path (see center of image), the challenge is practically even greater, since melee isn't necessarily the ideal playstyle for an Azata—so feel free to play the Titan Fighter, it's fun. ;)

Just as the other said, but you can also notice that some archetypes are just straight up upgrades of the base class with little or no downsides. So in this case it makes little sense to pick the base class

Any archetype can work on any difficulty. Some just harder than others to pull off due to the difference in strength at different points in the game. Depends largely on your party composition.

What did you have in mind?

My Melee Azata begs to differ. Dual wielding Falcatas with 110 damage per hit no crit. Crits for 600+ damage. 80+ attack bonus without Cleric, Skald, Paladin boosts. Destroys EVERYTHING. I've actually had issues with other paths getting a similar performance just because how strong Azata is with melee. Of course this is mostly due to Ring of Triumphant Advance and the Azatas awesome morale boosts to everything, which then gets doubled.

Azata melee is frikking OP.

I personally went with Demonslayer 10/Mutation Warrior 10. It's definitely the strongest character I've made to date in melee. Well aside from my Legend build which just makes the game too easy.

Yeah... I haven't seen Backstabbin' Bixie yet, but I'm looking forward to him. ^^

The ring is, of course, THE game changer for Melee-Azatas. :)

Yea and don't forget you can give yourself +morale boosts to primary stats as well. Which will then get doubled. Plus you get +10 morale boost from Incredible might, which is then doubled.

I was a melee shredder machine. Plus also a skill monkey with +40 in my lowest skill with no points spent in it. And +80/90 in the highest skill. I decyphered the lexicon in Act 4 so easy my character laughed at how much of a simpleton the writer must have been.

In other words: once I have the ring, I can easily switch from Hard to Unfair. ;)

I've been playing and just finished shield maze as a Earthbreaker focused Titan Fighter. I had a small struggle against my first champion but I liked being able to swap to a shield when the bonus AC and +to hit would help so far.
