First Win - Campaign 1

[dg55]

Won Campaign 1 at Apprentice Level in 98 rounds, 213 kills. Only lost 1 life. All characters level 8 at end. Never fought the Queen's Guards once, as did the quests in a timely manner.
This was my third attempt at this Campaign.
I found the Bandit King an easy fight, as I hired a Mercenary for the final battles.

Anyone else wish to share their results?

98 rounds but only level 8? Seems a bit off.

I think we finished a 4 player first campaign on round 62. With 3 of us level 8 and one of us at 9.

44 rounds on apprentice on my 3rd attempt for chapter 1 (before the patch nerf). the first was a flop, the 2nd was a completion but i didn't get all the achieves.

it really is just all based on luck at some point. you can only enhance so many stats, and the game requires any character to have to use 1 outside their focus (pun intended) at any given time (an ambush, sneak, etc).

1st town quests could have a purple weapon that steamrolls for you the first few levels, or it could be a glass breakable - slowing down the ability to snowball.

Chapter one has a level cap of 8

Unless thats something that was hotfixed in later. We definately had a person at 9.

Journeyman, Chapter I, 58 rounds, all 4 at L9. This is my 1st-ever game of FtK II.
L9 = 4,500 XP is the cap.

307 kills -- including 33 Queensguard for Start the Revolution challenge of 25+
17,914 damage
9,777 gold
177 Focus

I could have rushed 8 rounds sooner and gotten the 50 rounds challenge credit, too.
OTOH, one of the last few palisade fights I won gave me this lovely toy:

Queen's Kite Shield, 8 Armor 5 Resist, +30% XP, Guard, Taunt, Protect Neighbors (T-Splash!)

Stablehand spammed Protect Neighbors, and the other 3 delivered the damage.
It still fails when 2 consecutive enemies focus fire on 1 guy who isn't Guarded.
Brigand King one-shotted my Scholar twice, costing -1 Sanctum and -1 life.

Onward to Chapter II, with a Pathfinder and a Farmer
