Outward Definitive Edition : War-hammer Combat Guide

[@windtotem4727]

Dude, your Guides are awesome! Even for a veteran-Outward Player, I still learn quite a few things and get inspirations for new Builds^^ Thanks for that! And show us your greathammer-Build! :D

[@pentagram4872]

Thanks for the support! Will share the build ;)

Epic fight with the sharks. Need to go get me a hammer build now 😂

[@pentagram4872]

Hahaha the strenght here mainly comes from the armor and the totem you would probably destroy them even more with a palladium halberd ;)

[@dawidmarciniszyn7546]

I might add that attack skills like predator leap and flash onslaught are extra effective while using a hammer, since it`s a very slow weapon with high base dmg and impact. I also love finishing enemies with juggernaut skill and watching enemies ragdoll into oblivion, best part of hammer gameplay for sure :D

[@pentagram4872]

True though i dont use them in my current build. Oh and yes finishing enemies with jugg is just the best xD

Looks fun, I haven't done a Warhammer playthrough yet so I would definitely appreciate your build as a guide. As always great video 👍

Thank you! the build should be coming soon hopefully xD

Great^2 Hammer guide! Juggernaut is easily the most fun ability in the game. Having to trade hits might seem like a big disadvantage, but with how much your enemies will be laying on their backs - I'd say not a bad trade-off) Please share your build, however I can already deduce what it is. I use the most basic paladin build: Monk, Hunter & Shaman, but I really want to experiment with Primal Ritualist, especially since wind chimes apply doom and for the coop healing capability.

[@pentagram4872]

Thank you! Will share the build then dont know when but i will. Sky chimes is very very powerful if you rewatch the parts where i fight the sharks i litteraly stand in the middle of the 3 while outhealing their damage xD

[@MiguelAbd]

This build looks awesome as well! Omg I need a video on it too.

[@NeoCrafter007]

I might actually try hammers now

[@pentagram4872]

glad to hear it ;) good luck then! hope i helped.

[@nizemee729]

I did play a hammer build before DE and it was really effective against 90% of the enemies using a Tsar Greathammer. It was one of the most fun builds to play also!

Hey can you please tell me how to get backstab in definitive edition? I went to the Vendavel Fortress and none of the NPCs will talk to me, cant sell iron ore, cant get the backstab skill for the shiv dagger etc. I couldnt find any information anywhere

[@pentagram4872]

Probably a bug, if you cant get it in vendavel the trainer in levant slums sells it ;) hope can fix the problem though

[@ave3360]

@@pentagram4872 you think its a bug? they really didnt change anything about how the forstress works? I was ready with over 60 iron scrap to sell lol. Anyways what happened is I just went in there, killed Crock and few other, went down and when I tried to interract with anyone a message popped up that "this person is not trying to draw attention" or something.. that he doesnt want to speak to me, also there were like no pickaxes on the tables etc like there used to be, so I thought maybe if I kill the others they might speak to me.. so I killed Balira and Rospa, nothing changed, and when I reloaded the game all the npcs were gone. I have no clue what to do, is there a different way I should try to get in next time or? :) EDIT: oh also there was no cook and no alchemist there, not sure if intentional as well EDIT 2: I appreciate your reply and I've been enjoying your vids bro! :)

[@pentagram4872]

@@ave3360 oooh i see no its not a bug, the devs were tired of people just killing crock and then walking in the fortress like nothing happened. So now when you kill crock every enemy except the with is triggered. The cook and the medic also become hostile. So now if you want to get the backstab from here you need to get captured by crock when entering the fortress. Thanks for the support!

[@ave3360]

​@@pentagram4872 oh damn, I knew they made some changes to make the game harder but this was my go-to strategy to get some money every new playthrough and now its gone! :D I might let them just capture me then if they didnt change that part as well haha, anyways thanks for clearing it up for me!

[@conghoangle8594]

At start game, I use Juggernaut to sneak attack because you don't have backstab skill yet. After getting backstab skill in Vendavel Fortress, I continue use Juggernaut to sneak attack when waiting for backstab cooldown.

[@pentagram4872]

Hahaha jugg and backtab two of the funniest skill in the game ;)

[@conghoangle8594]

@@ave3360 The first time you go to Vendavel Fortress, no one will attack you. If you attack them first then the every npc will attack you (except the prisoners) and prisoners will not talk to you. In my case, first I talk to Crock and accept to stay there and you will peacefully become a prisoner then you can get the backstab skill and sell iron scrap (but the cost of iron scrap in definitive edition is only 2 silver per 1 piece). If you want to get out of fortress, you will choose between fight or pay 30 silver. If you choose to fight, the Vendavel Quest (related to Cierzo will be destroyed or not) will start with every one attack you, and you cannot get Power Coil from Crock for send him to Burac.

[@ave3360]

@@conghoangle8594 thanks for the detailech explanation bro.. Well as it seems there is no reason to go there early game now with all the changes, iron scrap nerfed to 2s etc, what a shame.

[@conghoangle8594]

@@ave3360 the only reason I go there early in definitive edition is to get skill backstab and maybe the ornate chest.

[@mkv2718]

Tip for Juggernaut fans: go with the Speedster tree and abuse Unerring Read before pulling it off. then use it unlocked on a group of enemies and free aim. it also pairs really well with Probe, as it gives you a nice little jab, tho this does kinda alter the overall playstyle of the war hammer

[@pentagram4872]

Isnt it kinda risky to use the speedster with such a slow weapon? When exploring why not but you would have to be quite good to beat stronger enemies. Am i wrong?

[@mkv2718]

@@pentagram4872 Nope, not at all (at least no more than any build). It won’t be AS tanks as the tankiest builds, even tho the skills will be the tank focused skills from the speedster and warrior monk trees, but my build uses the TSAR mace (notoriously the slowest weapon in the game) yet I do not need to worry about that as I use a combo of speedster skills, armor, and the Sorobor faction skills to max out my cooldown speed. My 3rd tree is the Wild Hunter, and predator leap is my main damage skill, along with juggernaut and probe (I just used juggernaut as the example because it’s a mace only skill) not at my game, and haven’t used that character in a bit… but when my cooldown is maxed out I think I can get predator leap out every 15-20 seconds or something like that. (Can’t recall precisely). The main thing is that skills are NOT affected by weapon speed at all, so attacks like probe come out just as fast with the Tsar mace as they do with anything else. In fact, since my cooldown is so low, I generally only use the mace special from the normal attacks. And even with the medium armor I have on, my tank skills are enough to protect me (usually) if I mess up my juggernaut timing. The build is speedster, monk, hunter. Focus on the tank passives from both speed and monk, and generally just predator leap for Hunter (feral strikes kills your rage boon, and you’ll already be needing to keep your discipline boon up) Then I go with the Tsar mace since it has the highest physical dmg in my the game and more importantly, it’s indestructible. Then the shadow Kazite set with the Kazite oni mask (I think, which ever legacy mask reduces cooldown) and go with the Sorobor faction for that extra cooldown. This is a tough description, but I’m sure you can figure out what I’ve done from there. Spamming juggernaut and predator leap in between probe is pretty fun. Probably one of my favorite builds, and it’s not as risky as it sounds. Up there on the learning curve, but not as bad as sigils stacking or something

[@IL4NCER]

Greataxes next?

[@pentagram4872]

no idea actually, might consider it, same as the warhammer, have not played the greataxe in quite some time so i will need to make a playthrough first to make sure i say something relevant. I had no idea on what to cover next sooo maybe ;)

Would you be willing to showcase your halberd build

[@pentagram4872]

For some of my guides i dont actually use a build, but a demo character, wich is the case in my halberd video. I will certainly end up dropping a halberd build though but not that soon... hope you understand ( i can still write you a halberd build if needed)

[@Gator.Raider]

@@pentagram4872 I totally understand and yes please I’m new to the game I just bought the definitive edition watched your guides and liked the halberd the most so if you’re willing to write it down I would greatly appreciate that and I’ll turn on post notifications for when you drop a video for a halberd build but thank you again if you write one down

[@pentagram4872]

@@Gator.Raider my bet is you want this for one of your first runs so i will leave the legacy and caldera stuff out of the window ;) thrice wrought halberd, adventurer armor chest with heart of cierzo enchantment, crimson plate boots with aegis enchantment, elite hood with aegis enchantment, faction : blue chamber collective, 1 point of mana, spellblade (infuse frost,elemental discharge)/shamanic(mana push)/hunter(predator leap, feral strikes). Not the best looking build but you can do quite a lot with it. If you dont like it tell me and i ll come up with an other one.

@@Gator.Raider there are 4 legacy chests all around the map. You put items in them and then at the character creation select a legacy and these items will be in the legacy chest of your new characters. Some items tranform and become more powerful by this process.
