Any good builds or combos?

[illathid]

Just started up a new game after impoorting a save from banner saga 1 and there's so many new options I'm at a bit of a loss on how to proceed. Anyone have some good general tips for stat, talent, and ability selection they'd like to share?

Without going into too many spoilers:

Bolverk is a chapter of his own! Using +BRK and +CRIT items on him can make him ridiculously OP.

A nice combo I abuse is using Zefr's Breeze (her second ability, unlocked at Rank 6) on Bolverk or a Tempest-Warrior like Krumr or Bersi, for a "telegraphic" double attack. Of course, Zefr must be placed right before those varl in the turn-queue.

I've written too much about this already that I'll probably just drown you if I go over it again, so I'll just throw some links your way to other discussions that have been held on this topic if that's ok - and hopefully of some help:-

Nice re-cap, but, don't forget your own guide, man!

Oh, good point. That might have something useful too. Not sure!

I just kind of play how I want man. But for a good party setup... I would take 2 archers, 2 high Arm/Arm BRK heroes, a high Str hero annnddddd some kinda support/mender.

Keep your shield up in the front. Position and protect your archers for good dmg. Deploy your STR guy to wreck people without getting hit, play it safe and then take risks when you are feeling more confident.

Good luck :D

Thanks, that's useful.

I'll check these out too. I've read your guide which is very helpful, but is more explanatory than evaluative if that makes any sense. Thanks!

Yeah, that's generally how I play too, but I like hearing other opinions too. :)
