Ive been having fun with this game. While not the best tactical RPG, it has enough going on to be refreshing.

[@lordvonsteiner2452]

I've been getting so much mileage out of lady Dindraine so far. She's a really useful character.

[@SlanderedGaming]

Yup they did a great job with her.

[@metheglynpymont8731]

VERY interesting. I just watched a tier ranking video in which the host said Lady Dindraine is basically useless... And then you come along and demonstrate to us why that just isn't so. Well done, Sir Slandered, well done.

[@SlanderedGaming]

I did this video when the game first came out and several patches have been implemented that limit the strategies I used. Check the date on the tier rank video it might be based on the current version of the game.

[@dodang_9147]

@@SlanderedGaming so this strategy doesn't work. it looked really strong. I am playing on hard difficulty act 1 in non-roguelite mode and the game feels... um.. unbalanced? the game throws like 20+ enemies at you and expects you kill all of them in like 1-3 turns with no gear. Its like all characters are either really weak or your expected to *not* play hard difficulty without beating the game already. That or the game expect you to play on "story mode", farm gear and then beat the game, but that just makes no sense at all. I looked like one steam review and it said archers were *complete garbage* and that most people just spammed champions. I want to make was 1 tank(mortred), 2 archers and 1 mage. I also want to play as Tyrant/Old faith.

[@Jasta85]

Note that loot seems to be completely random in this game, I've opened a chest, got a relic, then had to reload, opened the chest again and got something completely different. I'm in Act 3 and have yet to get a heavy armor relic, I did get a weapon right out the gate that let my champion get armor back on kills which went a long way towards survivability. So you have to be flexible with gear since you never know what might pop up.

[@SlanderedGaming]

That's true and part of why you shouldn't just depend on drops to get good gear. Get that upgrade on the Merchant that unlocks relics and make sure you are checking the Merchant and Enchanted Tower every time they restock. Make Sir Ector the master of the Enchanted Tower and always leave him at Camelot so you get Relic Dust and money after every mission. All this together should help ensure you are able to deck your team with critical gear over time.

[@Jasta85]

@@SlanderedGaming yep, I've actually kept ector in my training area pretty much permanently as he provides more dust as he goes up in level. I've also equipped him with random gear with + loyalty bonuses since he's the opposite of both my alignments heh.

I'm glad you put something out. There is not tons of info being put out about the game, but most of that gear doesnt fly on Extra Hard mode. Also, you should get rid of Mordred's ring and give him the Mass Heal ring that Guinevere has.

[@SlanderedGaming]

Yeah looking back that probably makes more sense. It will be interesting to see what gear I can get on this Tyrant run.

Excellent advice especially as most other KZbin advice avoid the class of archers altogether because on hardest level they don't have AOE or similar damage to stop the "hordes". Still to find the the right gear combination when it is needed need some luck

[@Shadow86TheGamer]

It's more about the equipment you were lucky to find than Dindraine itself, i feel, though. Because trust me the archer you get from being rightful-old faith it's insane! He not only does what you do with her but his chain lightning together with ap on kill and immunity to hits pretty much from his ice shell can shut an entire battlefield of ap especially if they have armor is -50% ap to everyone and that chains to 4 people. Imo the scariest archer.

[@boki1693]

I wish I had found this channel before I played my first go through. I died because I played on ironman and Mordred died on mission 5. Every freaking mission was a struggle because I was trying to play it like x-com 2. LOL. Then I saw your channel and started a new game and man, it's not that it's easy or anything but it's not a struggle either like the first game was. My only injury was because I didn't see the mob behind my archer during a set up and he hit me pretty dam good until I killed him. I still made one mistake that I was able to overcome. I am only level 4 and 5. My archer was getting healed and I put the mage dude in for training so I didn't realize I had no long distance toon now. I had one but he was in that "overflow" area at the time. And when I tried to take him out of training, it let me but I still couldn't choose him for the next mission for some reason. I still won but it was more difficult than it should have been. When I first saw this game about a week ago, it really didn't impress me much. It looked simple and I didn't like the graphics all that much. I read a few good reviews and I said maybe down the road when I'm bored with my other games. Well boredom came 2 days later. Or should I say anger and rage! I was playing x-com2 on Ironman and it was fairly late game. I went on a mission and 5 Archons and the Archon King ambushed me all at once. I hate Archons. They tend to give me the most trouble. But the big problem was they knocked my medic unconscious. If that dosn't happen I still would have won. Anyway because it was a timed mission, I now had to carry several unconscious troopers back to the landing zone so they wouldn't be held prisoner. I only managed to get one trooper carrying one unconscious dude back and missed getting the others on board by one turn. I was so mad I rage quit. I mean almost all my top soldiers and equipment gone in a flash. If you never played xcom, you get very attached to your toons. Especially if you name them and design them to look like yourself and people you know. It really hurts when one of those toons that you had from the beginning thats named after your daughter or yourself dies. I started to decide if I wanted to play this game or Crusader Knights 3 with the new add on I hadn't played yet. I figured let me play something light and tried this game. Thats why I said let me do Iron man and evil. I really didn't think this game would be that challenging. Well, imagine my surprise when I started to realize there was way more to this game than I first thought. I looked at the clock and 3 hours had gone by. Then I died as I mentioned above. Now I looked for game hints and found this channel and the game makes so much more sense to me after watching a few of your vids and is way deeper than I first thought. The graphics are even enjoyable for me now. Also, as I mentioned before, sense I am going evil, out of the characters you reviewed, I only have like 3 of them I think. Or use 3 of them. So my experience is somewhat different than yours and I am sure will only diverge further as I play longer. So I get the fun of trying to apply your hints to other characters you haven't reviewed yet.

[@SlanderedGaming]

Awesome! Glad this channel is helping to make things clearer. I've never played X-COM but I keep hearing about it. Hopefully I'll be able to try it out sometime this year.

[@boki1693]

@@SlanderedGaming Dude, X-com 2 is literally the best turned based tactical game ever made. In the character creator you can actually get your toons to somewhat look like the people you want them too. So as I said, if you play Ironman and one of your toons you may have modeled after a loved one dies, there is a VERY strong pull to start the game over. They start off pretty dam weak and you have to be very careful with them so they don't die. As they level up and get more skills and better equipment through research, they become bad asses. When you start, they are wearing next to nothing but street clothes. By the end of the game they look like they are wearing full "Ironman" suits. But the Aliens are getting harder and harder too. If you do play it, make sure to get the "War of the Chosen" add on. It adds a integrated story to the game and special missions that makes it well worth the price. And there are tons of mods you can discover for yourself. Check it out on you tube. There are a zillion play throughs on there. But you might not want to watch a play through because it's fun not knowing what the new aliens will do and missions and stuff until you see it the first time.. Your channel is one of the best I have seen for showing how things work in a game. I am doing so much better from just watchin 2-3 of your vids. I would have watched more but I am too busy playing.

Playing on Hard I've had Mordred almost single handedly kill entire encounters if you can find a choke spot to stand in so only a couple of enemies can attack him at a time. WIth his HP on hit/kill gain (combined with a couple of regain armour every 10 HP healed from any source items), the Mass Heal relic and his temp HP ability, tons of armour and high block he is almost unkillable. The problem is that the AI targets in order of least very armour often so he gets ignored unless you really jam him in the enemy's faces.

When you said that Dindreyne was a crazy damage dealer I was wondering what you were smoking until I realised this was on an older version and only on normal difficulty. 😆 I've only done one play through (on Roguelike Hard) but Morgana with armour breaking and extra AP is a monster. And Ice Wall is just a hard carry when you're fighting big mobs of things with 500-900 HP.

I'm midway through my first playthrough right now. (Old God Tyrant) Usually my party looks like this.

I had to switch the difficulty to hard after a few missions not taking any damage & it's more challenging for sure, a bit of a knife edge. It looks like you have not got on with Vanguards. I have struggled with traps but the leapy backstabby build is really fun and effective (on Sir Tristan in my case)

Guinevere's freeze, maybe a trap or knock down plus Merlin's Illusions and slow. I agree slow on melee is terrible but ranged slows on melee enemies can be be great!

About to start this game today. Really looking forward to it. Have watched a few of their videos and they have been giving me some great ideas. Your team here is pretty much what I was wanting to get just by looking at the morality wheel thing.

Almost all guides I read said that the Archers were the worse class and really bad, but you seem to do very well with one.

This video was made before a patch that significantly changed what kind of buffs you can use on your characters.

[@gregorycritch2129]

My initial impressions were I really like this game!, I did when I first tried it, thought this is cool! Medieval X-Com! BUT there's a few things that ruined it for me, granted I haven't played it for that long but... - There don't seem to be any actual weapons and armour loot to get. Just runes that you can add to your weapon to upgrade it / buff + add damage/blood etc it's not half as exciting as finding a cool new sword and such or nicer gear. - The battles are very repetitive and samey and I've had issues (bugs?) where my units won't attack, despite having plenty of AP and won't use potions. - The other thing that REALLY SUCKED was the difficulty. Normal was challenging but do-able for me but it was way too easy on story (to the point where the enemies can barely even damage your units). *A good example of my issue - On Normal difficulty, I had a party of 5, three of them got injured on a mission - game told me it would take 5 mission to heal one of them - 5 Missions!, Five Missions! FIVE. Yes, you can pay to heal them in 1 mission but I could only afford to do that for one of them, which meant I now had only a party of 3, when it was already challenging with 5. Bear in mind that the missions only get harder as you progress - so obviously it's going to be MUCH harder with 3 than 5. My current party members are bound to get injured now that there's less of them and It hardly seems fair because now I'm stuck in a vicious cycle - when the injured in the hospice are finally healed, they're just going to be replaced with injured from my party and the constant rotating healthy/injured units thing is enough to put me off the game to be honest, so annoying.

[@SlanderedGaming]

Sorry about the bugs you've been experiencing, I didn't have that in my playthrough. The type of enemies you face changes over time and that will change the flow of the battles. I think you get your first new wave around level 7. I stuck to Normal for most of my playthroughs. The injury cycle definitely continues throughout the game. You are given a large group of heroes to work with and the expectation is you will keep around eight of them leveled up to ensure you can switch them out easily. I enjoyed the difficulty but it's definitely not for everyone. On a separate note I keep hearing about X-COM but I have never played it. Looking forward to checking that game out one day.

I have thought about recording the first hour and I might start doing that when I review new games. But as of yet no I don't have any recorded playthroughs.

[@Malinkadink]

It looks like you're playing either on story/normal difficulty based on the level 18 mission and the hp of those mobs. In that case you can pretty much use anyone and get through the game. The game was balanced around hard which is why roguelite mode is locked to hard difficulty and then normal mode can go up to very hard. Playing on hard or above dindrain or any marksman really falls off starting act 3 as enemies get a big boost in hp and start to use a lot more abilities that can debuff or cc you. Vanguards are by far the best killing machines in late game especially on higher difficulties. Mordred unfortunately is necessary in most missions so you have to have him in the group so the ideal build is something like mordred, vanguard, sage, arcanist or another sage for inspire. Lancelot is good too since he brings inspire. Inspire lets your vanguard get multiple uses of jump to get behind targets for assassinations in a single turn. You gear them similar to dindrain getting AP every kill etc. If you can get a relic ring with teleport for someone like lancelot he becomes deadly as well since you can teleport for a backstab each fight. I actually like to bring an arcanist for my 4th due to death hex that can take off a massive amount of hp from an enemy in one turn and let the vanguard one shot them when they otherwise would not have been able to.

[@SlanderedGaming]

[@SlanderedGaming]

Since he serves as the tank I like keeping Sir Mordred in the midst of where all the action is. You can perform Running Charge on a distant enemy even if there's an enemy right in front of you. This creates opportunities for him to knock down archers/spellcasters who are then easily dispatched with a couple of melee strikes. Since he's in the middle of everything, melee opponents still run after him to engage once again. Due to that I believe it is worth picking up that upgrade for Sir Mordred.

I’m going down the Christian/Righteous path and Lady Dindraine is essential to my build. I have put permanent potion buffs on her and she legit can sometimes solo a boss. I was rolling a tank and off tank for ages but I’ve now found a way to play a little smarter with Sir Tegyr (Vanguard). Spend a little time upgrading him and he can kill up to 3-4 dudes in a turn and then hide, he is by far my biggest hitter with the jump ability buff and backstab attack.

[@SlanderedGaming]

I completely ignored Vanguard's during my first run. Looking forward to taking a harder look at them in my Tyrant run.

[@seifeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee]

This works with any vanguard, i'm currently playing with righteous/old-faith and i have Sir Bedivere doing this but with throwing daggers instead. Later on enemies will have a lot of perception making it harder to sneak around them. so this stategy kinda becomes obsolete. Ironically the best backstabbers that i'm using right now are Merlin and the Faerie Knight (both arcanists), last upgrade on Teleport it's to stay hidden after you tp, so basically Merlin is a long range backstabber when you need him to be one and Faerie Knight... well he is just S tier character due to him having range, dodge, and the ability to deny up a lot of attacks with Ice Shield. I literally get him to attack the backline getting rid of archers and mages while also being able to tank them if there are too many of them while also having the ability to peace out if he gets too much damage.

For the maps where enemies come at you from both sides I'd usually focus one side down while moving into their area and pick off the other side.

[@GatsuKS]

Hey man, can you tell me what does that yellow "unbreakable armor" do? Can't find an explanation anywhere.

[@SlanderedGaming]

@@GatsuKS Armor serves are damage reduction in the game. Regular armor can be broken and consequently enemies can do more damage to you as they break more of your armor. Yellow unbreakable armor cannot be broken meaning at all times you maintain a certain amount of damage reduction.

[@GatsuKS]

@@SlanderedGaming Thanks mate, you really helped me. It was the only logical idea I had about it anyway but I wasn't sure. Is there a way to see what is the % of the reduction?

[@Kelzen]

What's the difficulty you're playing? It looks good but the overall general consensus is that marksman quickly become useless and best are champions or vanguards. That's true for higher difficulties so I'm guessing you're playing easy or normal?

[@SlanderedGaming]

This was on normal. Also that Dindraine build has been patched out so it's no longer possible with marksmen or any other class.

[@Kelzen]

@@SlanderedGaming Very recently they also changed the ice wall so I suppose Champions might suffer from it. Anyway, it's good to see the game evolving.

[@Kalamanadi]

Which difficulty are we talking about here? Becaouse on Hard and very hard difficulty lady guineviere definitely cant stand 7 hits.

[@SlanderedGaming]

I played through the game on Normal.

[@quickpawmaud]

Marksmen kinda suck and RC doesn't get any Arcanists so an all Melee build would probably be better. Galahad is also the best tank in the game so you should swap him with Mordred when possible. Sir Leodigrace or Sir Lucan would be good and for the backline assassin Sir Tegyr would probably be your best bet. So a better team would be better team would be Sir Galahad, White Knight/Sir Lancealot, Sir Leodegrace/Sir Lucan, and Tegyr.

[@jktz122]

where do you get merlin and his flying fire dragon skill?

[@SlanderedGaming]

You automatically pick him up as part of the main story. It's when you are more than halfway finished with the game though.

[@jktz122]

@@SlanderedGaming thanks .. i love your channel very clear in the explanation of things

[@saintreem]

looks super easy

[@SlanderedGaming]

The game has went through multiple patches since this guide and the builds I used are no longer possible.

[@razielkadmon547]

Can you Respec your skills?

[@SlanderedGaming]

Yes using the Training Grounds.

[@razielkadmon547]

@@SlanderedGaming awesome, appreciate the response

[@seifeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee]

Wait to be given Tome of Regrets. This will reset your builds for free. So far i got 4 at week 41.

[@MOTat18]

Wow. This seems a little OP, not going to lie. Maybe lady D needs to be nerfed, and Guinevere gaining AP on every kill no matter who does it is kinda strong.

[@SlanderedGaming]

I am just following the rules of the game. 😂 Not sure how they could nerf her because so many different pieces are required to make that setup work. I just wanted to show an example of synergy between a team. Everybody works together to make fights and simple as possible..

[@pursuitolikes5217]

You can play in hard and really hard mode if you find Lady Dindraine and Guinevere too powerful...in mid to late game, you are swarmed with tons of enemies on the field, greatly outnumbering your party...if you can't control the field and kill fast enough, you're done. If you nerf them, what are you going to do in mid to late game? Keep reloading the fights in frustration or play on easy mode?

[@lx7943]

So to get your driane this strong you have choosed the Rightfull Cristian path ?

[@SlanderedGaming]

Yes that's the path I played. It's difficult to get her loyalty high if you are not playing as a Christian. Righteous or Tyrant doesn't matter.

[@Lonewolf-cc7vg]

I need some advice. I have the mc, th ed white knight and lady d need a strong third I'm pro Christian who would u suggest ty in advance

[@SlanderedGaming]

What level are you? Lady G, Merlin, Lady Boudicea, and Sir Lancelot are all strong options. If you are sticking with only Christian heroes I would recommend Sir Tegyr or Sir Balin, both of whom come relatively early.

[@Lonewolf-cc7vg]

@@SlanderedGaming first ty for answering. I I'm level 10 chapter 11 just got solid percival the problem I have is I'm looking for someone else worh that kick ass stand alone like the mc and the white knight

[@onurkayarlar935]

lol. you dont need an offtank for sure. 3 arcanist + Modred, kite to shit out of them. GG. Merlin - Ector /Morgana - Fearie - Modred. Doesnt even sweat.

[@SlanderedGaming]

Yup that's true you can absolutely play that way.
