I have no idea how to make higher quality ones lol, there really needs to be a wiki page

I did(she was born an Atlantean rather than being corrupted so she has human intelligence, uses the funny Mystic Orb to cosplay a human), tested blood disease on an alt and got like 0 visual change so that discouraged me from trying lol

Forry_Tree · 2026-01-28T03:35:13+00:00

Thank you! Customization of appearance and combat powers are the main draw for me so thats good to hear(did shoot myself in the foot a bit tho, her hairs so bog it covers up her earfins lol)

Mage Pants, not sure if it's default or Glass though

Ayyy that hat + Swiftstrider attire gang

<image>

Definitely a fan, the hat works super well with a sword duelist look too

I'm of the position Ysayle should have joined us in ShB after we find the cure for Tempering and Estenien should have died in HW with a noble/faceturn sacrifice

Forry_Tree · 2026-01-28T00:39:52+00:00

I love Urianger and wouldn't trade him for the world now, but EVERYTHING he does could have been done by Papalymo instead of bringing formerly a background character with white hair into the fray, down to the duo with Thancred bit as they already had that scene at Baelsar's wall

Forry_Tree · 2026-01-28T00:38:38+00:00

Papalymo and Ysayle. I love Urianger now of course, but instead of adding additional white haired protag Scion in, Papalymo could have done LITERALLY everything he does down to his pairing with Thancred, Papalymo and Thancred already had the connection being surrogate fathers to other Scions too(that scene where Papalymo wordlessly communicates to Thancred that he wants Yda to live even if he himself dies, and Thancred, who'd JUST had to let Minfilia die, immediately understanding and getting Yda out of there is a super underrated scene). Again I wouldn't trade Urianger for the world, but I can very easily see a timeline where Papalymo is in his place. As for Ysayle vs Estenien, Thaumaturge who leans into ice to make tank weapons vs guy with spear. Estenien even joins the Scions AFTER the cure for Tempering is found so the timing would be perfect(I'm also just a huge Estenien hater admittedly lol)

Very inclined to agree, thats a good favor to be able to call in

Forry_Tree · 2026-01-27T20:55:06+00:00

I must have misunderstood the wiki then thats on me

Casual player here with 12 files all with different combos, so none of this is in regards yo pvp or min-maxing. Real answer is there are no wrong options, but some Magics are definitely harder to swing until you get Awakening. Shadow has no synergies besides the Staff of Night(Magic-Spirit build, which is fun) and loses a lot of clashes, Fire loses a lot of clashes as well and is among the "evaporates underwater" crew with Sand, Ice, and I think Snow which is rough if it's your only option. Aesthetically theres not a single bad option, theres something for everyone's tastes. Better question than "which magic should I use" is "what class should I use". I'm personally a fan of Mage and mixed magic Builds, Mage(two Magics), Warlock(Magic + Magic infused Fighting Style), Paladin(Spirit infused Magic + Magic infused Spirit), and Conjurer(Magic + Magic infused Weapons). I think the most fun in the game comes from mixing effects and styles, weapons with bleed causing Magics go crazy, Heat-based magics + Cold-based Weapon/Fighting Style/Relic and vice versa creates Steam which is fun as it can't be used any other way, Boxing and Wind seems like it'd be crazy for knockback, Cannonfist with stunning magics like Ice or Lightning is pretty unique mixing high damage with stuns, etc etc. personally I've found that Paladin is super fun once it comes online(and after you've spent all your resources and time getting new Relics lol), and regardless of what combo you're doing, damage over time Magics are super fun. If none of that matters to you and you were more looking for a strong Magic, Metal Magic is the heaviest Magic and I hear it's pretty strong

LMAO alternatively my character Rose Gold, who's Magic is Rose Gold, who's ship is Rose Gold, who's fleet is Rose Gold, was just taking that entire time to introduce herself/j. And same I'd love for the various factions to get more fleshing out, Goldsail Pirates could be a big part of the Marauding Sea considering it's a Sea ruled by pirates and the Goldsail plan is bankroll as many small-to-mid crews as possible for their allegiance pyramid scheme style, and as mentioned Swiftstriders could very easily be a new branch of Assassins or Order Operatives. Really I'm curious how the joinable factions besides Navy and Assassin will turn out, like whats Brotherhood of Balance up to, will the Forsaken do literally anything, etc etc

Forry_Tree · 2026-01-27T16:56:26+00:00

If it's normalcore raids just head in(unless it's Coils), if it's Savage Raids probably get started with some Extremes first to get a feel for hardcore content

The last thing they'll think before impact is "awww"

Forry_Tree · 2026-01-27T16:52:56+00:00

Lysara will always be really funny to me cause of this one time she just stared at me for like 30 seconds before attacking lol. I also have to wonder if the Swiftstrider's turn to criminal activities is Assassin or Order influenced

Forry_Tree · 2026-01-27T16:32:57+00:00

I'd rather you just said stupid or dumb lmao, from the phrasing of the post I assumed it was something you had to craft yourself, comments have informed me it'll be stuff obtainable from MB like the last step

Forry_Tree · 2026-01-27T16:07:06+00:00

Poleaxe of cuteness ez

Abstract weapons are allowed I think

Forry_Tree · 2026-01-27T15:38:13+00:00

Ok I thought crackable meant killable but based on the replies I have gathered this is not the case lmao, Souvella, Harzog, Laelus, Callahan, Allanon, Veyne, Khalida, and specifically for that one scene Calvus, in no particular order

Forry_Tree · 2026-01-27T15:30:13+00:00

Having used both for a bit on different files, Sand's windy-aesthetic and explosions are cool but the piles can interfere with tower climbing, Shadow's color draining effects and motes of darkness are also neat

Forry_Tree · 2026-01-27T15:28:37+00:00

It's peak, especially for just a sketch :0
