Necessary powers for Emily

[超高校級のEther]

What are the must powers for Emily?
I'm currently using Domino and far reach.
Is shadow walk necessary?
Or is bone charm craft good?
Any ideas?

Shadow Walk is pretty op from what I heard

[hunt45]

the only ones i have found nessesary are the upgrades for your far reach shadow kill to make your enemies disapear and domino is a descent ammo saver but not nesesary just handy. i have almost collected all the runes so far and i now have almost 30 of them i can use but no need for it

Domino and shadow walk. I haven't used any others yet.

[Yes?]

Domino is a lot of fun; having people kill themselves is wickedly hilarious and shadow walk makes me look/feel a bit evil.

Shadow walk reminds me of The Darkness. I love that.

A thread reporting that using shadow kill results in a loss of runes. I don't know if it's true, but did you gain loots after you shadow kills a guy?

Shadow walk seems to consume to much mana. And the reason why I didn't like it is that, the mana used by shadow walk can't be regenerated. While after using far reach 3 seconds, the mana used is regenerated. That gives you infinite use of far reach if you got time.

Depends on your play style.

In my first game where I played shadow/non-lethal I only ever used domino, far reach and dark vision. Charm crafting and double jump for passives.

I also invested in Shadow Walk, but i literally never used it, I even upgraded it to use rat tunnels.

So the rat tunnels. Is there any loots like runes or bonecharm can only be required through rat tunnel? If not, what's the benefits of shadow walk rat tunnel power? Honestly speaking I didn't see many rat tunnels in game....

mesmerize is high mana cost - but it can be a fun way to distract enemies

"Necessary"?

Fully upgraded far reach

Others are "optional" but they make the game more fun.

Keep in mind that

- far reach(pull) doesn't work against witches
- mesmerize doesn't work against witches
- shadow walk (3 insta kills) works against witches.
- domino works against witches but sometimes it requires you to waste too much time on tagging enemies due to locations limitations)
- dark vision is great (+ you can regen health with a bonecharm)

I would go for

- far reach(full upgrade)
- dark vision (only two upgrades)
- shadow walk (all upgrades except for rats tunnel) coz it looks cool and badass and it is useful against witches.

Actually the only place I ever thought it might be useful would be to get past the wall of light between Sokolov and Jindosh, I haven't encountered a single other place in the game where it seemed remotely useful to use a rat tunnel.

At that point in the game on both my playthroughs, I haven't had shadow walk or possession yet.

Pfft. Mana is easy to get back. I always find that I have max mana, because I am careful with my management.

Actually, Mesmerize works against witches. It does not work against Delilah or Brianna however, as expected, so you don't get an easy win against bosses.

My emily non lethal playthrough, I went fully upgraded domino, far reach, and agility. Then I put some points in shadow walk. The one to make you go faster is really good. Doppleganger is awesome too. If you're going non lethal just get the initial point and the one that blinds enemies after it dissipates. I did so much fun stuff by planting mines then using doppleganger to have the guards run right into them lol. Fun stuff.

One ability tree I feel is neglected considering crafting just 10 charms got me an achievement with less than 3% completion is bonecharm crafting. This ability tree is really good and should be upgraded in any playthrough. Being able to stack the same trait multiple times is insane. With swift stalker stacked 4 times, I was moving insanely fast. The sense of speed and vaulting felt better than in Mirrors Edge lol.
