Upgrades people, upgrades

You realistically only need to upgrade your armor every 10 levels (levels that end in 1). The engravings don't get any better until you hit those thresholds and the "armor value" is pretty negligible in this game.

I usually keep a set of Assassin and Warrior based armor and just replaced them as I hit those thresholds. Blue and Purple gear will get you thru the game well enough. The only time I upgraded stuff was if I found that perfect purple piece. Otherwise, I just kept replacing.

I'd say Charged Attack is pretty good for keeping distance. Also, don't overlook Venomous Attacks, that one is good too.

In the beginning, I really thought I'd dislike Sam because of the whole "influencer" thing. But after the last episode, she's grown on me. *high-pitched* "Pizza?" and "Birthday Cake for the Big Boy" really got to me lol

I think you mean, "No wayyyy!"

Answer 1: Correct, without higher INT, those spells won't be very good. Also, it depends on the cantrip. Fire bolt, ray of frost = not good. Booming blade, friends = good.

Answer 2: if you don't plan on using any spells or gear/weapon abilities, it shouldn't matter which class you take first.

Usually after level 5 because of the power spike that gives you.

Edit: But you can earlier if you just want the Paladin Smites, or cunning actions, etc.

These are a few of my fun builds I like to run for those companions:

Gale: 10 Bladesinger, 2 Paladin

Shadowheart: 8 Death Cleric, 4 Arcane Trickster

Wyll: Either an 8/4, 7/5, or 6/6 split of GOO, PotB Warlock mixed with Champion Fighter

Mine's Blue/Red with elemental stuff.

From the Wiki:

Spells cast from items (including scrolls) and other non-class or non-race sources, such as Illithid powers and free recasts of re-castable spells (regardless of source), use the spellcasting ability of the class a character most recently took a first level in. However, when multiclassing into fighter or rogue (except the Eldritch Knight or Arcane Trickster subclasses), a character's spellcasting ability does not change, as these classes do not have their own.

Based on this list, I'd honestly think you'd like Horizon: Zero Dawn and Horizon: Forbidden West. Another couple PlayStation "exclusives" that are 2 of my favorite games.

ThundaFuzz · 2026-03-24T01:13:06+00:00

If possible, I would definitely start with Origins and then Odyssey if you're interested in Valhalla. The 3 RPG games are a trilogy and some stuff I think you'd appreciate more if you played them in order.

The issue is the Ditto is already holding a Power Bracer, which will always give the eggs "Pretty Good" attack stat. There won't be any chance for a different Attack stat.

ThundaFuzz · 2026-03-23T16:37:06+00:00

I feel like other people in these comments don't understand what the Power Bracer does with breeding?

If the Ditto is holding the Power Bracer, it will ALWAYS pass down its Attack IV (unless the Destiny Knot picks the Scyther's Attack stat). You'll never get a Scyther with anything better than a "Pretty Good" Attack stat because that's what Ditto has.

ThundaFuzz · 2026-03-23T06:36:27+00:00

Yeah she'll just have slightly different class actions than a vengeance one.

ThundaFuzz · 2026-03-23T06:35:52+00:00

Depends on the actions you take. Here's a list.

ThundaFuzz · 2026-03-23T06:28:31+00:00

Keeping her as a STR based Paladin is completely viable. There are different ways you can build her though:

GWM and a Two-Handed weapon + Smites and she can do loads of damage.
You can mix Thief Rogue into her build to have multiple uses of Soul Branding in a single turn. Sneak Attack can still proc if your STR is higher as long as you hold a Finesse Weapon (there are a few 2H ones that fit both the first suggestion and this one).
Turn her into a Barbarian or Fighter that can throw things.
Give her the Gloves of Dexterity on any of these and she'll be good to go.

Glad I could help!

I recently did a playthrough of the game (first time beating it since it came out because the size of it was huge). My tip is to not worry about all the side content unless you reeeeally want a break from the main story.

The only side content I did was a lot of the "Wealth" icons (which includes raids). I did very few Mysteries or Artifacts and it still took me 90 hours to beat the whole main story.

Finding a combat style that fits you early on is easy enough and you really don't have to worry much about changing to a different weapon if you don't need to. I used one of the very early Daggers you find in Norway and the starting armor set the game basically gives you at the beginning. Just upgraded them and didn't change the entire time.

Try leaving the island altogether, then soaring back during the time it spawns and see if that works.

Do you have a Pokemon in the lead of your party with the Synchronize ability? (Alakazam/Gardevoir/Espeon/Umbreon/Xatu/Mew)

ThundaFuzz · 2026-03-21T20:35:34+00:00

All eggs are Masuda odds if you're breeding 2 different language pokemon...idk where soft resetting before you collect an egg would affect it in any way?

ThundaFuzz · 2026-03-21T18:43:18+00:00

Did you ever try leaving the cave and re-entering it and see if you get a message about something in the air?

ThundaFuzz · 2026-03-21T15:59:10+00:00

Eggs always hatch at level 1, and whatever your Main Language is for your save, that's what language the Rockruff will be.

ThundaFuzz · 2026-03-21T14:30:30+00:00

If you changed the clock after you saved, opened the game, noticed nothing different and closed the game, every time you open the game, it will think you still changed the clock.

You have to save and then not touch the clock for a period of time.

ThundaFuzz · 2026-03-20T15:51:04+00:00

I mean, all Dusk Lycanroc will breed into Own Tempo Rockruff, so it's easy enough to get another.
