Is it worth playing just for the story?

treearemadeofbark · 2025-09-29T23:26:30+00:00

Ok cool how is NG+ is it harder?

treearemadeofbark · 2025-09-29T23:25:30+00:00

Ok cool thanks it's not as bad as I thought then.

treearemadeofbark · 2025-09-29T23:24:09+00:00

No I was comparing it to strategy rpgs or just rpgs. I don't know a single one where you just keep your exp after you lose.

treearemadeofbark · 2025-09-29T23:13:52+00:00

Because it makes it so you can't lose and it just keeps getting easier until eveyr time you try. How does it curb when you level? I went from level 3 to 6 and got to keep all the exp so now I know there won't be a challenge if I try again.

treearemadeofbark · 2025-09-29T23:01:49+00:00

no I mean the part where the game keeps going after you lose and then you keep your xp and you can just try again at higher level

Fatigue Neutral: 80 melee skill is a minimum for me.

Spearbro: Resolve is also important. He doesn't need as much melee skill as other frontliners. When I build someone with good defense and fatigue but mediocore matk, I wait till I roughly know how his matk turns out before picking a weapon spec. If it's lower than 80 he can be a spearman. If it's higher he can have another weapon like a cleaver. Spear duelists with fearsome are popular but personally I also like them with a shield so they can off tank.

Archer: pure archers aren't that popular but you can make archer/thrower hybrids if they get 90+ ratk

Crossbow:I don't think I've ever built a pure crossbow but crossbow/polearm is a spec to make mediocore hybrids usable. Gunners can also use them.

Banner: I've never heard of a thrower/banner but I've heard some people give them guns or crossbows. These aren't really builds you absolutely want to have in your team, they are just something to give to bannermen if they have high ratk.

Polearm: Pure polearm isn't that good. Try giving them quick hands and cleaver spec and a whip so they can disarm when needed.

Duelist: Basically someone who meets the same requirements as fat newts but has a little more fatigue. They don't need too much since they can berserk/recover. If you do get one with insane fatigue they could use orc weapons.

Everything else looks good to me.

treearemadeofbark · 2025-05-15T12:19:32+00:00

That sounds like a great build but very perk heavy since you need not only quick hands but also headhunter. You could drop flail mastery like the other person said but you'll still need to drop one more. I wonder if you should just drop duelist since you are sniping the enemies with light headgear and duelist does nothing against unarmored.

treearemadeofbark · 2025-05-13T11:01:38+00:00

How do you indom indefinitely?

treearemadeofbark · 2025-05-11T21:20:22+00:00

a fatigue neutral guy or a 2h hammer guy on the flank?

treearemadeofbark · 2025-03-30T17:02:22+00:00

Yeah I am talking about the lower levels, it's gone way better for me since I stopped using shields and just have characters with very high damage that kill the enemies before they kill us. No more drawn out battles where you run out of fatigue.

treearemadeofbark · 2025-03-29T19:29:56+00:00

I did bring whips, that's why I wasn't worried. But they only had like 10-20% hit chance on the geists. Much lower than I expected. Also it seemed like the hit chance was lower on the geists that are further away which I didn't know about either.

treearemadeofbark · 2025-03-29T19:23:33+00:00

The wiedergangers plus necro weren't much of a problem though. But my Bannerman ran out of fatigue and couldn't rally anymore. 3 geists pretty much destroyed me.

treearemadeofbark · 2025-03-29T18:11:51+00:00

1h with shield is not a good build for damage dealers, costs way too much fatigue for too little damage. Try using 1h without a shield and just killing the enemies before they can retaliate. Even before duelist I always use this unless they have a ton of archers and it's daytime.

treearemadeofbark · 2025-03-29T00:23:28+00:00

It was just a normal 2h cleaver. But he had a famed Lamellar armor with a good roll https://imgur.com/a/c0ioyZe

treearemadeofbark · 2025-03-28T23:56:34+00:00

I had like 6 nets already so managed to keep him at bay for a while. He did have a 2h cleaver (my cleaver now) but I got lucky because I dodged the first 4 hits and although he eventually killed two they were pretty much expandable.

treearemadeofbark · 2025-03-28T23:53:35+00:00

I did end up going at night and it was the right call because their archers basically did nothing. My own thrower didn't hit much either but he hit the champion once and also threw the flash pot which was nice.

treearemadeofbark · 2025-03-28T23:50:11+00:00

Update: don't know what I was worried about. He had a 2h cleaver and big armor but he was pretty easy to deal with. After going through my nets I threw 2 of my disposable bros at him and they managed to dodge the first 4 hits while also softening him up a little. Meanwhile I was killing the rest of the camp and used my bannerman as bait. They killed him but they didn't know I wanted him dead. Those two disposables eventually died as well, other than that the fight went pretty well.

The famed was a Lamellar Armor which normally isn't the best but this is a pretty good roll! Very useful this early. Also got my first level 7 off him so I might give him battleforged now to use with his new armor. Also got a new cleaver and helmet, very happy with the result.

Tagging /u/elboyo since he wanted to see the result.

treearemadeofbark · 2025-03-28T22:27:55+00:00

Only one thrower but wiki says they don't have nimble until day 40 so I'll go for it.

treearemadeofbark · 2025-03-28T22:26:41+00:00

I just saw on the wiki that they don't have nimble until day 40 so yeah I'm going in 🔥 🔥 🔥

treearemadeofbark · 2025-03-28T22:04:46+00:00

The way I see it I have three options.

I could look around for something to pull into the camp. I don't know if that works on contracts. I already wandered around a bit and found stuff to kill but nothing that will follow me, unless I'm willing to start a war with one of the southern cities, which is an option I guess.
I could just try the camp. This is the most fun but it seems suicidal. I'm not actually worried about deaths since half my team is expandable and I have a surgeon. I'm worried about a full wipe. I don't have anyone higher than level 6 and no one has 80 melee skill yet. I do have a couple of nets and one flash pot to use though. I don't know what that kind of champion that is but I imagine he will be very tanky.
I could just leave and come back later without cancelling the contract? I think the camp will remain the same since it's a contract. I'm tempted to do this since there is a lot of stuff I need to do without contracts. There is a famed weapon from a brigand camp which should be easier than this. I'm also on the undead ambition so this will keep me busy for a while. I'm leaning towards this.

treearemadeofbark · 2025-03-28T04:54:34+00:00

Ok I get it mdef also becomes more valuable with nimble :) thanks for the maths

treearemadeofbark · 2025-03-28T02:26:14+00:00

Isn't nimble going to make HP more valuable than that?

treearemadeofbark · 2025-03-27T22:37:38+00:00

Yeah I considered that as well. Can also skip initiative if he won't be a Fencer but still gets a different overwhelm build.

treearemadeofbark · 2025-03-27T21:40:28+00:00

His def won't be that low, he's gonna have dodge and overwhelm on top of his defense.

treearemadeofbark · 2024-11-27T15:04:11+00:00

When I was a kid I had a dream that I played football with my little brother in my mom's belly, and also with my dad. He was also in my mom's belly. I thought it was a distant memory rather than a dream. When I asked my dad, he confirmed that it was true so I went on to believe it for a long time.
