Early game cheap buffs - Stronger Together & Know No Heresy

[LewIsz]

Your Companions count as Imperial worlders.

This lets them select 'Stronger Together' as the 3rd level up (2nd unlock) this gives your character +5 to one stat based on the Companion.

Abelard - Toughness
Idira - Willpower
Argenta - Agility

Next time around choose Know No Heresy for at least 1 of them for a player buff of +5% CHC & Armor vs Xenos & Chaos.

[Stechhelm]

This works with xenos, too. They will probably patch it.

LOL 1 Talent = +25 Agl..... what a waste of Talents Amirite fellow kids :D

Yes it's crap. Even on your full team, if it was 25 each it would still be crap, agility sucks. Not only you don't need to dodge if everyone's dead, but even for dodging you're just better puting nimble on characters that need to dodge.

You focus on the talents you need, not those crappy talents. 90% of the origin talents are bad, but the imperial world are very crappy indeed.

Seriously, play the game after level 3 on hard mode, those talents are really bad. Even Nimble, that I hate, is better than that, because at least I can use nimble on a character that has actual chances to dodge. Pick a class talent, any class talent, and it's better than a marginal 5% agility. Especially on Argenta, the first common talent she can unlock is rank 7. The next one is rank 12, and you'll better pick Heavy Weapons//Bolter Expert or Flamer Expert, and if you want dodge ? Pick Nimble.

Abelard better picks MPs and HP. Or improve his brace for impact to give MP to other characters, giving MP to Argenta that can then use her flamer for free because you picked Flamer Expert instead of picking +5 agility and +5 toughness.

That talents are pretty weak and usually you have better one available.

Kind of a shame so many companions are imperial world. The other origins have so much more interesting stuff

Indeed most of the origin bonus equipment in the game is Death World of Fortress World but most of your group are Imperial world or N/A.

just hire mercs. Why risk your precious companions lives when you can just... hire people better suited to fighting your battles for you

Agility bonus is the biggest source of Initiative (that's very important in early-mid game + for Master Tactician / Officer buffer is important until the end of the game). And cheapest source of Lethality for Assassins (who do amazing damage). So it far from being "crap", even if that talent is indeed weak one.

[REhorror]

Yep, it's a good talent if you have nothing else to go on.

I kinda want to put Know no Heresy on Jae as some kind of self-gimp LOL.
