Tripple_Barnett Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 Hi. I just finished my first playthrough and unlocked 40/54 trophies. I am nervous about Tactician Mode being too difficult for me, but I will try it. Does anyone have any great tips or good character build suggestions? Thank you in advance!

jobe13 Posted December 26, 2023 Share Posted December 26, 2023 I recommend scouring YouTube for builds specifically designed for tactical/honour mode. It’s helped me get about halfway through the Underdark. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used a Open Hand Monk build myself for Honour Mode. Pretty great. (With a Fighter, Sorcerer, Heal Cleric in my party.) You already have the most important thing in the game though, knowledge. So, you don't have to be scared about it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toyhouze, ItalianSpartacus, Cephalopocalypse, and Nizzar GG are my personal favorites. But be aware that they are on pc and not PS5, although that doesn’t really matter since you’re just looking for build information and not cheats or exploits. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jobe13 Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 I’m also using an Open-Hand Monk for my TAV and am loving it, but I recently respec-ed Karlach as a Throwing Barbarian and am absolutely wrecking everyone’s shit. I had been putting off the Adamantine Forge boss for days because I was terrified of what I saw online (I have difficulty with overly- busy combat due to my sight and reflexes not being what they used to be), but using Karlach as a TB, Wyll as a Dark Wizard, and the 3 Golem summon made this fight easier than my ex-wife. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tripple_Barnett Posted January 2 Author Share Posted January 2 I think I may give up for now and take a break. I am at level 8 on the Mrykul fight and he one shots my team turn 1. I just can't beat him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tripple_Barnett Posted January 2 Author Share Posted January 2 It took a lot of quick saving, but I finally beat Mrykul. I used Paladin (MC), Shadowheart, Lae'Zel, and Karlach (maybe I should have used Gale or Wyll), but it still took me a while. Mrykul can deal significant damage. The guest character helper (I won't spoil it) helped a lot. I am nervous about Act 3, but I hope to beat Tactician Mode. I wish anyone else good luck on their Tactician runs.

This will be something that applies throughout the whole game, and with the way healing spells and potions are designed, it is better to not use them but instead deal more damage on your own ends. Crowd control or raw damage provides the easier solution compared to trying to play a traditional RPG/MMO party with a healer, but invisibility potions or haste potions offer a great deal of ulitily, and considering you can throw them to activate them on a different party member can sometimes make it a rescue. Also remember you can use potions from any party members inventory, they dont need to be on the character you want to use them. I couldnt wrap my head around how to fight the adamantium forge guardian on honor mode, so I simply abused the returning pike and physics: attacking from above. But Mrykul simply died after 1 round of fighting. Edited January 3 by Jinkelz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tripple_Barnett Posted January 3 Author Share Posted January 3 Mrykul took me way longer than I would like to admit. I always forget I could throw potions. I need to try that. I am just happy to be in Act 3. So far just doing side quests and I am almost at level 10. I am worried about the Gortash, Orin, and the final boss fights (I already know I will try to use Invisibility to skip those CRAZY mob fights towards the end which I can't imagine how difficult they will be. Thanks for the tips and congrats on that 1 round Mrykul fight. I wish I could watch your fight! 4 hours ago, Jinkelz said: This will be something that applies throughout the whole game, and with the way healing spells and potions are designed, it is better to not use them but instead deal more damage on your own ends.

ArtMontef Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 I think I will pass on this. Maybe one day when they will add crossplay my friend can help carry me through tactician mode, because my brain just simply cannot deal with this game lmao. Even normal mode is sometimes too hard for my smooth simpleton brain, it requires too much knowledge of deeper mechanics 🙄 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrykul was the hardest part to beat for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jobe13 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Honestly, I’ve found that using the right builds can get you through tactician mode fairly painlessly. I won’t lie, as much as I love these types of games I straight up suck at them. But using Karlach as a Throwing Barbarian and my MC as an open hand monk has gotten me up to halfway through act 3 on tactician. I play around with the other two slots, usually story-relevant. But Karlach is my constant. If I could have a team of just Throwing Barbarians, I would. Unfortunately there’s only one Ring of Flinging and one Nyrulna. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These were my final builds: Main Character (Atem) Build - LVL 12 Paladin/Mind Flayer/Hunted One - I was a Drow and The Dark Urge with the Slayer Form earned after the Orin Boss Fight! Shadowheart Build - LVL 12 Cleric - Trickery Domain/High Half Elf/Acolyte/Selune Karlach - LVL 9 Barbarian - Berserker/LVL 3 Fighter Champion/ Zariel Tiefling/Outlander Lae'Zel - LVl 12 Fighter - Battle Master/Githyanki/Soldier The video shows all the permanent buffs and abilities that I used. Good luck with your Tactician run! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
