3 Strong Classes For Denam Tactics Ogre Reborn

[@faizedfoxgaming7426]

Just my 3 top choices for Denam for most of the game what are your guys picks?

[@khongguan5875]

rune fencer

[@TheRobversion1]

1. rune fencer-access to ranged options (both martial and spell), BOS, ease, instill (this is like pseudo-stealth to direct bosses away from denam, quite underrated). conserve mp is great for 1st turn BOS on your WK. 2. terror knight-claymore + fearful impact is a combo that will get you through majority of the game from ch 2-ch 4. TKs only becomes not-needed when you get shamans and start to focus more on magic dmg for the party over martial dmg. drain heart is nice for a ranged and healing option. excellent frontline unit. 3. beast tamer- i wouldnt pick this as his main class but this is an excellent flex class on him. there's alot of story battles where denam is scripted to start near the boss. thats a perfect opportunity to lob weakened/spoilspell. access to hammers and bows (2 of the best weapon types) makes them versatile.

[@Ramza998]

Swordmaster and Terror Knight are my go to’s til Buccaneer if I’m not grabbing Lord

[@tacticaltalent]

Just got to chapter 4. Been using him as a ninja with a katana and dagger for versatile finishers. 1 lightning, 1 air, and 1 finisher that has a 5 tile range. Also poison skill to poison enemies.

[@kmking2000]

I like all your choices here, never thought about using Denam as a Ninja though, since he is always on the front line; but I can see how this would have made your team more versatile in a lot of the story battles. Good video! Keep up the good work!

[@kylegraham6273]

I ran Denam as a Rune Fencer whole game.. just about to head to Hanging Gardens. Once you finish Heim, head to the 24 floor of Potd and pick up the summons.. rune fencers can acquire summons. I also took Cat as a princess so I lost out on Lord.. but having access to summons is strong so rune fencers are really strong. Boon, ease, summons, healing… yes please. I also went sword and bow with Denam.. so many finishers and with the spells.. he can truly do anything. Not so much a front line tank or damage guy.. more of a Swiss Army knife for any battle

[@ValeVin]

I think those're probably the three most common options for Denam that I see people use. I went berserker, and while berserkers are great... they're only great on levels where they can get around and their berserk won't hit their friends. They're a great unit you want to be able to bench, which means a poor choice for Denam. I made him a buccaneer later with Lombardia and another 1H sword so he had counterattack+parry+speedster+evade, and that worked out great.

[@faizedfoxgaming7426]

yeah i made the mistake of trying berserker on denam like early chapter 1 and it didnt go well due to how auto berserk is a thing and it was at that moment i was like maybe rune fencer lol

[@richardkhchang]

Despite loving Rune Fencer generally, I personally don't like Denam as a Rune Fencer because his main advantage to exploit in my eyes is that he has such strong base stats that no class weakness is actually that big of a weakness. If he's a rune fencer, he's just a versatile class that's uniformly improved in a not-so-noticeable way, and with no single gamebreaking ability. I personally go with Berserker because I don't trust a squishy generic with it, that damage is too tempting to not strategically take advantage of (I usually just don't keep Denam near my other units), it fits well with my strategy to break as many objects as possible and stockpile cards at the beginning of every match, and it transitions perfectly into a broken Lord class that can combine Berserk with double hit and Mighty Impact, and maybe even Phalanx to be a one-man army.

[@faizedfoxgaming7426]

but rune fencers get summons berserkers do not and idk if u know summons are op :)

[@richardkhchang]

@@faizedfoxgaming7426 By the time you get access to summons, Denam's likely already a Lord that can use summons, though (that's usually the path I go, anyways).

[@faizedfoxgaming7426]

@@richardkhchang yeah i choose princess first so untill i do more potd i wont be replaying any story stuff to get lord i havent even beat the game yet only beat up till heim

[@bradcook1537]

Commenting at the beginning and may edit after I finish the video. I liked Denam as a Rune Fencer for a good while, only recently (doing the Apocrypha quest) did I change him to Terror Knight for a bit, and then Dragoon to help clear out the monsters. I'm on my first playthrough, Law, and saved Catiua, so no Lord class until later. Just watched your Stat growth video this morning and was debating if I should make Denam a Buccaneer with just a sword, purely for the stats growth. It's a shame Denam can't use the Knight Commander class. He skips straight from Generic classes to Lord, seems a little silly to me but oh well. I remember reading a lot of suggestions saying to make him a Ninja, but I found that class to be underwhelming for anything besides inflicting status ailments.

[@bradcook1537]

Well, I'll give Ninja a try again. It may have just been that my other Ninja just sucked. I can see the benefit of steelestance on him. My only minor hookup is that I like to stick to a few weapons to master. Definitely never considered giving him a bow as a Rune Fencer before, so I might try that later and with the Ninja too.

[@faizedfoxgaming7426]

i like the bow with a 1h cuz than u get choice of 8 finishers instead of 4

[@williammclachlan4078]

My first play through on Reborn, Denam was a TK until I used wheel to go back and get Lord (took Princess first). 2nd play through I went with RF. 3rd play through was ninja. My one observation from all three would be that when used as RF he felt more on another level Vs a generic. I didn't get the same feeling from the other 2, which are just fun, awesome roles.

[@faizedfoxgaming7426]

Thats cool u took the time to do that and weigh em all kind of equally. I would say rune fencer on denam is like a mini lord its basically like a class that just works so well for him its insane

[@Warmaker01]

My Denam had been Knight for most my Law campaign but I switched to Terror Knight early in Chapter 4. Knight got less and less impressive as time went on in my campaign. Knight is very tough, but so what? The AI goes for the stuff that it can damage more easily anyways. There are no Aggro Mechanics. So with Knight Denam being ignored, the damage output he did was poor. He wasn't really putting in conditions, and his damage dealing was mediocre. He became simply another battery for Heal. Even my other regular Knights got used less and less. Terror Knight was different. Inflict Fear with a PBAOE aura or use 25pts to do it with 100% success on a melee attack. Couple that with my Claymore+1 for Breached effect, I sent TK Denam to take on the toughest threats. Fear + Breach effects by a single character, start laying in big damage with Denam, and set up the other party members to do even more damage. TK isn't as sturdy as Knight, but just tough enough for the job. Also there's a Dark spell where you siphon off HP from enemy NPCs, so TK Denam can still top off his HP a bit if needed.

[@faizedfoxgaming7426]

i agree knight is pretty useless most of the game cuz his main selling point is phalanx but the enemy wont target a unit it cant deal lots of damage too so they just ignore him what good is a tank without taunt...white knights are best knights :)

[@luckmanyo]

I say you use Knight wrong lol Knight can be damage spons, absorbing damage with guardian aura? from attacker front liner like berserker or tk or backliner like shaman or witch It made later potd floor survivable from 1 hit archer to mage

[@edenknight777entertainment5]

The terror knights special attack with a weapon that inflicts breach is the ultimate debuff especially against the Dark Knights. It turns the Dark Knights into an average unit lol.

[@faizedfoxgaming7426]

oh yeah 100% thats how i use mine

[@paranoumenon]

IMO, for majority of the game, the best Generic class for Denam is RF. All rounder stats growth. Second best would be knight. A tanky support Denam is great for the entire game. Third best class? Anything but cleric. However, my favorite class for Denam is Warrior with Dagger+Sword. This way, he has close + mid range finishers and two chances of parry every turn. He can play very offensive like FFT's Holy/Dark Knight by spamming finishers. Heart Crusher is a nuke and Rending Gale is a story boss killer (2h sword is also good but it doesn't get its range finisher until lv 30. And parry is a lot better than counter esp against buffed bosses). Thx for the upload

[@faizedfoxgaming7426]

yeah i agree but some people said it has the worst stat growth but i would rather have the all around for when he becomes lord plus u got stat charms that can fix anything

[@paranoumenon]

@@faizedfoxgaming7426 Exactly. IMO, all charms that players can get from the story battles should be reserved for Denam, because he lacks bonus stats that most uniques benefit from their special classes for 36 levels. Even with those charms consumed, WKs and KC still beat him in overall stats lol.

[@ChrisTobin603]

I made Denam a Terror Knight. He really is a death machine.

[@faizedfoxgaming7426]

He is and its a great class for him even if its a super slow class still a solid choice

[@Jbessette]

I also heard that Denam can also has access to the buccaneer class

[@faizedfoxgaming7426]

yes that is true

[@saliver5909]

My Denam uses magic so Rune Fencer then cudgel + 1h sword Lord class for him. Summon lv.2 handles most things and if he needs to fight close quarter, close in and sword finishing move. Skill is cudgel, 1h sword, meditation, and conserve MP

[@faizedfoxgaming7426]

cudgel and sword combo is really good for getting the most of ur magic for sure

[@saliver5909]

@@faizedfoxgaming7426 One thing though I am not sure if I really need the cudgel skill. I put it only for imagined extra magic damage. But if the damage change is miniscule I probably will try another skill in its place.

[@faizedfoxgaming7426]

@@saliver5909 u get some extra magic damage but from what i herd and since its pretty small unless someone knows more about it but i would think RF has pretty awesome skills to use in its place unless u want the finishers

[@Spacefrisian]

I actually made him a Dragoon with 2 handed swords. seen my entire team wreck through those nasty beasts and or dragons when needed. Made alot of battles alot easier. Wished i could make him a White Knight though.

[@faizedfoxgaming7426]

that would be really cool if he could be a white kniight i like that idea

[@Theswazzer]

Terror knight all the way. Except one battle with a former friend

[@GutsOfRivia]

So is Denam stronger than generics when using a generic class?

[@faizedfoxgaming7426]

correct, he has higher stat growths

[@Hectorhc13]

Terror Knight é vida! kkkkk

[@TheRobversion1]

yeah ninja's controversial because when it comes to inflicting conditions from ranged, casters or archers are better. their dmg is meh but if you have a mage denam (from initial questions) and have been levelling him up as wizard and giving him int+ gear, ninjutsu is like a poor man's summon. so yeah a physical ninja denam, i'd pass. a mage ninja denam works very well quite surprisingly. baldur's bow + benumb to inflict conditions. then ninjutsu to deal dmg.

[@faizedfoxgaming7426]

it was a close one between ninja and swordmaster for me for the 3rd spot lol

[@TheRobversion1]

@@faizedfoxgaming7426 swordmaster only works if you level denam up funnily as a cleric. the key on the swordmaster are the dances. being able to aoe weakened/breached/slow is potentially strong. those only increase in effectivity if you have a high mind (and the spellstrike item). if it's just a physical swordmaster, you're better off just going TK.

[@natzekai5108]

I would like to ask consindering this. Im in chapter 3, have been playing Denam as a warrior (default). Now, i have always played him as a melee. Surpisingly, my stats are 124 str but also 125 int somehow. What would you recommend me to pick as a class. RF or melee ninja? i would have to level up daggers.

[@TheRobversion1]

@@natzekai5108 if RF is an option then its that by a landslide. Its one of the best classes in the game. The 125 int probably comes from card pickups, charm usage and/or you answering int-related questions at the start. This is actually a good thing as once you get to mid-chapter 4, the best denam is a caster denam. Melee/ranged martials get replaced by casters in performance from that point to the endgame. Ninjas are mediocre units only useful in the early game. RFs start out great and carry well into the endgame as its arguably the best generic class in the game. I'd suggest switching him out of warrior asap as thats gimping your stat growth. If you want to retain denam as a melee unit, you're better off levelling up in training as a berserker. If you want him to be a ranged martial, swordmaster is the best training class for him at the point you're in. For a caster denam, you can level up as a wizard unless you've unlocked warlock already then that's better.

[@natzekai5108]

@@TheRobversion1 awesome answer, thank you. Howerver im not sure i understood. I have been playing him With 2h swords from the start. I allready have a berserker Who im hippy With and im using a special npc Who comes as swordmaster. Considering this you suggest to transform denam into warlock? Which weapons?

[@doclingrifa3414]

YESS TERROR KNIGHT!!!!!!!

[@faizedfoxgaming7426]

hell yeah TK is amazing

[@quickpawmaud]

I am using the Knight

[@IzunaSlap]

Terror Knight is just too darn sssssssssssssllllllllllllllllllllooooooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwww........ I need Denam to move his butt, especially when the plot forces him into duels or sticks him directly in front of a boss like Oz. I made him a Bucco and I don't regret it yet.

[@faizedfoxgaming7426]

Yeah terror knight is slow so u either need RT boost to help him or dont be a terror knight :) Be a rune fencer its the best

[@Shadowbane3]

Swordmaster, then Buccaneer until I unlock lord

[@faizedfoxgaming7426]

swordmaster would of been number 4 if i had a top 4 its a great class

[@Shadowbane3]

@@faizedfoxgaming7426 I didn't appreciate rune knight until later in the game, I might have gone with that early on rather than warrior. All four are good choices, imo

[@faizedfoxgaming7426]

@@Shadowbane3 for sure worst class u could make denam starting out is a knight or even worse cleric

[@visbaluz]

Denam : front líner.. Warrior , berzerker and swordmaster. Warrior : high HP , single target burst damage and guaranteed breach (vigorous + Claymore) Berzerker: humongous melee damage and AOE. Nuff said . Swordmaster: single target burst damage (falling blade) , team utility inndances and absurd melee tankiness : minds eye+ preemp + falling blade . The sword Master is such a reliable debuff machine if You feed denam with ment charms , BUT it falls until late Game when enemies outlevel You 15+ , 10+ levels.

[@faizedfoxgaming7426]

Swordmaster is a great option that would be my number 4 for sure

[@paranoumenon]

Warrior is great when players put a lot of hard works into their multi weapon skills ( at least 5 of them). They're boss killers, esp with Denam playing as one.
