HOW TO USE SIRIN?

[swordfish]

I have no idea how to use her. I see some songs that are already picked in the skills tree but cant tell how to use them??

[Kernest]

All the songs are unlocked for free at the appropriate levels, if you pick her, you should see an "additional" clickable drop-down menu which lets you select the song she uses.

All those songs are passive, she goes through the same song for as long as combat lasts (unless you switch it) without you having to do anything, and gains "breaths" as she goes through those songs, which in turn allow her to use some of the unlockable talents in her War & Peace trees.

As much as i love to take Sirin with me, i never found her real usefully. Maby it depends on wich roles are in your goup, shedoes buff melee fighters

I've used her to replace Lantry as the team healer, obviously she's not as good as that (though the songs balance it out). The only real problem is that Lantry is necessary for Voice of Ages.

Sirin is one of the strongest characters in the game. She is a great tank.

Stick her in heavy armour, maybe re-train her stats a bit and you'll see. Her songs are passive, unaffected by heavy armour recovery penalties and so forth.

I don't agree that she's that great of a "tank", but heavy armour definitely works.

Heavy armor without extraordinarily high defenses won't work at all.

Just like light armour without extraordinarily high defenses won't work at all. Any other brilliant insights?

Sirin, due to her songs being passive, is arguably the least affected by higher recovery penalties of heavier armours.

[suejak]

She is the best tank in the game. She has tons of defensive traits that protect her and her allies, and her aura-based attacks require her to be in the fray.

You don't need a traditional tank in Tyranny and all the caster/DPS characters are arguably much stronger than little old Barik, who is a bit of a dead weight.

I let her in her dress, gave her a big 2-HD weapon and put her to the front, never ever seing her going down.

She has or gets protecting auras which are mostly more than enough to withstand any thread.

Of course it depends, how you set up your group. For me she is a "must have".
