Ideal Spellsword/Templar Build - Best Way To Spend Breakthrough Points

[AsianGirlLover]

I was looking over all the possible skills you could spend breakthrough points on, and the 3 I found most worthwhile for a Spellsword type build are:

1. Kazite Spellblade (woah, who would have guessed)?
2. Rune Sage
3. Wild Hunter

See here for reference: https://outward.gamepedia.com/Skills

My justification for these three are as follows: you ultimately end up with net positives on your health, stamina, and mana stats, depending on how much you’ve sacrificed to unlock mana. You also unlock the ability to heal yourself with mana, which is only possible with advanced rune magic. Wild hunter is great if you want to focus more on being tanky and dealing damage from a distance, otherwise you could go with Philosopher for the mana regen or Warrior Monk for the increased Stamina... the last bit really depends on your preferred playstyle.

(Personally, I only gave the lowest possible amount of health and stamina away, as I prefer to focus more on being a tanky warrior with the ability to self-heal).

So, with that said, what are some of your preferred trainers to spell breakthrough points on and why? Feel free to share your advice on how to create other builds as well.

Edit: I should clarify that this specific build will allow you to be a “Templar.” In other words, a badass with armor and weapons of your choice, but backed up by supporting infusion and healing magic, etc.

Do take note that there are massive mana cost debuffs for using heavy armor. Good luck, friend

Only for wearing helmets. You can bypass that by going for the mana regen perk instead of the extra health, but it’s not worth it when you can just eat fish and be fine.
