Troglodyte Legacy

[jewelllbby2]

Has anyone completed a playthrough as a Troglodyte char? If so what are some tips? The 25 pouch capacity and no armor or backpacks is kind of limiting. I preferred halberds anyway so I'm comfortable with that at least.

Considering that Trog stuff got discovered earlier today, I highly doubt it that anyone completed it lol.

What we deduced is that it's best to make all 4 armors as they're pretty easy to make and very light. You can use mage armor as lantern and for casting healing spell on self.

Other armors are situational depending on what you need as they're pretty strong each for their own thing. You'll have to depend on alchemy and cooking A LOT.

Best trainers to take are: Shaman (for stronger boons thus more offense/defense), Mercenary to be fast troggy and Monk 40 stamina and master of motion.

Enjoy your Troggin'!

Can you elaborate?
I have no idea what you're talking about here.

If you stick a common mushroom in a legacy chest then make a new char with that one as the ancestor you will start as a Troglodyte Katitoff.

So there are armors for the Trog, Evangelion? Where can I find the recipes?

[Evangelion]

It's only a wiki thing. But in base there are 4 armors you can craft and use on troggy only.

Ragged clothes (any trash body armor piece you can find laying around) + mushrooms (Blood Mushroom, Star Mushroom, Grilled Common Mushroom and Woolshroom).

Just drop Ragged clothes + one mushroom in crafting and press craft.

They cannot use active skills? All of the skills?

Yes, Trogs can't use any active skills except the stuff that you start with. You can have all the passives you can get tho and they work.

Aww, I thought it can at least use some spells, like the mana trogs. I even made a hat for that!

[Evangelion]

You can use trog spells, the one that heals you and allies and gives you discipline and rage boons (and to your allies) and the other one is the bolt that hits enemies and applies pain and confusion to them.

I know, but these two spells do no damage. I do wonder though, if shamanic resonance is learned will my trog be able to apply amplified boons in co-op.

[Evangelion]

I don't think it will, pretty sure Shaman only increases the stuff you have on yourself... But... It's worth a try! Let me know if it does it.

Ohhhh, need to try that for the sake of challenge.

Edit:
THIS IS AMAZING!

I agree that Shaman/Monk are pretty obvious choices if you're going solo trog and using all the forms, but there's a lot of options for the third breakthrough to consider, and I consider mercenary one of the weaker choices actually.

At the top I would look at Hex Mage and Rogue Engineer. Hex Mage has Bloodlust and Lockwell's revelation, both of which are very helpful for low mana builds (which trog always is since there are only 2 spells they can cast) and for stacking damage with sanguine cleaver/crumbling anger (though for a straight damage build abomination enchant is better).

Rogue Engineer is probably even better though because you can still use pressure plate traps as a trog as usual, and feather dodge synergizes with acrobatics in the endgame.

All the hardest fights are going to be helped more by traps and more dodging than they'll be helped by 10% movespeed and cheaper sprinting.
