One big benefit of Charge is that you can use it in the surprise round, even though you're normally only allowed a single move OR standard action in that round. Charge is the notable exception to that rule. So feel free to start combat by attacking with your archer(s), then send your frontline charging in before the enemy can move. Just make sure your paths are clear.

[@WolfheartFPS]

Most definitely

[@Baraz_Red]

It often does not work right now in turn-based. Not sure if it is a bug or if turn-based it just using a stricter rule. ? EDIT: patch notes today read "Charge ability was getting interrupted randomly before starting [in Turn-based mode] - fixed." So maybe that is gone actually.

[@Vengefulwight]

@@Baraz_Red From a few hours play after the patch, if the bug isn't completely removed, the occurrence rate is drastically reduced.

[@hekilightbringer298]

If you use charge during the surprise round, you can still charge, but you are only allowed to move up to your speed (instead of up to double your speed).

[@drunkenhobo64]

important to note you can only charge your regular speed in a surprise round, instead of the usual double movement speed.

[@sirmarshall9521]

So glad there is a turn-based mode, I like being able to actually see what's happening.

[@epicfailville4091]

I had to speed up all the animations for turn based because everything was way too slow for me, but now I can’t play without it.

[@WolfheartFPS]

@@epicfailville4091 Yea some of the fights feel a bit long for turn-based. I have actually been doing some of the longer combat encounters half and half. Start off RTwP and then when I see I am getting my A$$ kicked, I switch to turn based lol

[@bofad6074]

honestly if rtwp just showed the same info it would be alot more viable, doing both is def the best. I like to wait till my frontline gets into the enemy then switch to turn based, usually that happens before the enemy can cast any spells. Kinda cheecky but blackwater happened so no mercy

[@wideout7838]

Turn based is p worthless so long as ur pausing when need be or if spells are coming out there’s no reason not to play in real time

[@bw8382]

I turn off turn based for big battles, like protecting defender's heart. For some reason, that specific battle was easier in real time. If I'm storming a city or protecting from a horde of undead, it seems easier to just do real time

[@joshuahansen3222]

Fun fact: Fighting Defensively is a free action. If you are in Turn based mode. You can freely turn it on at the end of your turn, and back off again at the start without losing any actions. Basically giving you a free +2 to AC at all times.

[@Bleilock1]

wow, one more reason to play turn based lol

[@protoroc]

It seems kind of broken and I try not to abuse it in core difficulty.

[@shuramanchka]

Actually I am not sure this is correct right now (maybe was fixed in future patches) You need to make a physical hit(at least with melee) for the bonus defense to kick in while defensive stance is active. If you attack with it turned off and at the end of the turn you turn it on again you will not receive the defense bonus.

[@Glaasse]

I just wanted to mention that you may be the first person I've heard pronounce coup de grace properly in like 10 years, and I really appreciate that.

[@WolfheartFPS]

I read this comment initially thinking that it was going to be someone telling me I was saying it wrong.. but it wasn't! I did my research on it before making the video :-D

[@RFC-3514]

Well, properly for an English accent (in French the "r" would be different), but yes. It's so annoying to hear people talk about "coo day grah" (which would be "coup des gras", or "blow of those greasy" in French I mean, you probably _can_ kill an enemy with enough grease, but you'd need to feed it to them over years and then hope for an artery blockage.

[@XoRandomGuyoX]

Speaking of Coup de Grace, IIRC Ember's(or another witch's) Slumber Hex lacks the Hit Dice limit found on Sleep. So she can lull even demons and other strong beasts into slumber. That's a good time to smash them with a Coup de Grace from your strongest melee damage dealer.

[@WolfheartFPS]

Great tip!

[@bobbarkerswag6989]

I don't even know if the game is winnable without Slumber Hex. Its so broken

[@WolfheartFPS]

hahah yea if you can really figure out good combos to set up for it, it is game changing!

[@Baraz_Red]

For fun, some weapons do Critical Hits X3 or more... (those weapons require to roll 20, in comparison to weapons that do critical hits on a roll of 18 or 19 for example, but it is automatic with Coup de Grace [translate to Mercy Kill].)

Be careful where you charge to. It sucks to charge at one archer, and then the fog of war lifts, and there's five other melee mooks standing there, all of whom are going to flank you AND get that -2 to your AC as a bonus. I've gotten mauled that way.

[@Azr4el]

Coup de Grace is also used to kill enemies that have immunities and can only be killed by certain damage e.g. Cold Iron, you down them and finish them of with Coup de Grace.

[@novatonoob]

[@ershin_chaos5815]

Coup we grace also kills off enemies with Regeneration. Useful when you don't have the abilities to disable them. Helpful in Blackwater.

[@thegrim418]

Jesus Blackwater was hell with my lineup.

[@Istalior]

You all gonna love Coupe de Grace by the time you reach Blackwater. Reason being - all enemies there have regeneration Same way as trolls do. and that regeneration can be only disabled by electricity or adamntium weapons. at first you can use electro wands and other stuff - but later you will get mooks that are immune to electricity. so considering that you probably do not have adamantium weapons at that point - they seem immortal. But this is where Coupe de Grace comes into play. It can kill regenerating enemy regardless. So this is one way to deal with that nightmare of a location

[@WolfheartFPS]

nice. I will be sure to keep it handy

[@nickllama5296]

Fire or Acid don't work against it? That's odd.

[@Istalior]

@@nickllama5296 they have specific regeneration weakness - electricity, same as fire and acid for trolls. first bunch of the mobs can be killed by electro just fine - but as i mentioned later part have mobs that still have regen electricity - but immune to electricity at the same time so it chancels out. that leaves only adamant and Coup de grace to deal with them

[@Fastwinstondoom]

That place is also buggy AF, one of my companions came out of there with a permanent debuff that kept doing ticking lightning damage. Poor Greyboor was sitting at -400 hp in Drezen. Had to reload xD

[@khanhnguyen-tt3ff]

Man I hate Blackwater they should include this in the stip or clue in some quest.

[@Mister_Taxman]

Here's a handy trick regarding Coup de Grace. If you are playing on Real-Time with Pause, you can let any of your characters automatically do Coup de Grace on a helpless opponent if you RIGHT-CLICK on the skill. If there are no helpless enemies in the battle, the AI will simply ignore the Coup de Grace auto-command and do an auto-attack instead.

[@WolfheartFPS]

I may have to try doing this alongside right clicking on Slumber with Ember. Auto coup de grace's all day!

[@Hekk.]

:0

[@orarinnsnorrason4614]

Also fantastic to use this on channel positive/negative. You just right-click and your healer constantly heals until his ability per day runs out or the fight ends.

[@azarisLP]

Less great if the helpless enemy is on the other side of the battle and your party member runs through a wall of AoO's to get there...

[@JonathanSirico]

Ember's Hex/Sleep ability with Woljif's coup de gras is a death dealing combo.

[@vispunk]

This combination got me though *so* much content

[@ryanstewart2289]

I'm running a kineticist so I usually coup de grace with them because they use their kinetic blast instead of a weapon.

[@orarinnsnorrason4614]

I have a tip. When you're in real-time (when you have all group selected) never click on a target to attack. Instead click on the ground next to it and let the Party AI do the rest for you. This way your group doesn't get "locked down" into attack speed/animation if you would click a target but instead they run to the spot where you clicked allowing you to close the gap way quicker. This tactic is also very useful your targets are running away. Just click the ground next to them to catch up quickly.

Just started playing this last night & absolutely loving it! Tried to get into Kingmaker several times but it didn't stick, probably something to do with the overall story or time limit in the background, not sure. This feels a lot more 'D&D epic', even if we do start at lvl 1. So I've decided on a Winter Witch, and started with a Keen Kitsune Witch Doctor, much to my surprise! I assume I'll need to level to 5th to get 3rd level divine spells (the prereq for WW), then I plan to switch to an actual Witch of some flavour til 5th (again for 3rd lvl arcane prereq), then finally to Winter Witch. I know the WW is a bit under-powered in the TT version of PF, but I'm just roleplaying a theme here, so don't care too much :). Thanks to all you utoobers for all the really informative and helpful vids guys, very much appreciated! ;)

In addition, coup de grace can be used to kill enemies that regen like the trolls and linnorms from kingmaker.

[@PlanetarPL]

Yesterday I learned important detail about Fighting Defensively. Its not enough to just turn it on - you have to turn it on and actually make an attack and then it applies. So if you just turn it on and move, drink potion, cast spell or whatever but do not make melee (for range too?) attack it will not activate.

[@Alister222222]

Fighting defensively can be extremely powerful if you build for it. It can be very hard to have enough AC to tank things at higher levels, so you should consider taking the following talents on any tanking character to improve their defensive fighting. The following is slightly simplified. (Edit: You can also take these feats on pets to help make them super defensive tanks...) a) Dodge, and Improved Unarmed Strike: Not because they matter (although +1 AC is ok to have), but because they will unlock the next feat... b) Crane Style: This is a monk fighting style, but as long as a character has the above two feats, anyone can take it and toggle it on forever. It will increase your AC by a further +1 when fighting defensively, and also reduce the attack penalty to just -2. I take this on any tank I build, or anyone that is likely to be close to the front of battle. It can be handy on rogues and any melee really. c) Crane Wing: This is a straight upgrade on top of Crane Style. You gain a further +4 AC when fighting defensively, taking it to +7 or +8 AC (depending on if you have 3 ranks in mobility). d) Crane Wing Riposte: The final(ish) upgrade to your defensive fighting - you will gain a free attack of opportunity against an attacker that rolls close to your AC, but also have the penalties for fighting defensively reduced to -1. So for the cost of -1 attack, you are gaining around +8 AC and a chance to do an attack of opportunity per round. Pretty strong. Another route to do this is to take a single level in monk, which can be very powerful for a lot of frontline (or solo) characters. You will get Improved Unarmed Strike for free, and a free 'monk feat', which can include dodge or crane style. You will also get either wisdom or charisma added to your AC if you aren't wearing armor, which depending on your character can be a lot of free AC (you can wear bracers of armor that give about as much armor as actual armor, or use the mage or archmage armor spell for armor, and still benefit fully from the monk AC). A little side effect is that you will also 'flurry' with any monk weapon (such as staves, kama, sai, etc), meaning a single level dip gets you an extra attack per round on those weapons if you are using them one-handed with a free hand. Anyway I wrote way more than I meant to there, hopefully it is helpful to someone.

[@kelvinl2214]

Martial Disciple background gives Improved Unarmed Strike feat, I used it on my Aldori Defender build, saves a feat slot that can be used for better feats.

The biggest advantage of Charge is that it ends with an attack. That means no standing in range of the enemy while flat-footed or without Defensive Fighting benefits while they get to pound on you for a round.

[@chrisnelson6991]

So much better then Kingmaker. This may be my all time favorite CRPG. So much depth, good story, options for building a character is absolutely crazy. Could use a video on crusade mode and if you turn on auto do you miss content? Thanks for the content.

[@teaoanimar]

If you're in turn based mode and want to avoid the aoo to cast a spell or make a ranged attack, usually it is better to simply use 5ft step. There's no chance involved, it will always work (when conditions allow) and you'll still be able to take a full round action. The downside is you won't be able to do a normal move but you can use your move action for other things like that full round action or to cackle or whatever.

[@dilsoncamacho4100]

IMHO there is a lot more to be said about fighting defensively - you need 3 points in mobility (ignoring bonuses) to get the full effect of fighting defensively; you can improve the whole series with the crane style and the other crane style tree, just the basic crane style reduces your attack penalty by 2, you can reduce it to only 1 with the last of the crane feats. Making a character around fighting with fighting defensively and crane riposte is a very nice idea, especially if you have an aldori defender style with some extra parry. There is a lot to do around this ability. _________ Coup de grace was originally introduced because there were situations in kingmaker where you could get stuck - the main one being fighting a troll and not having a source of acid damage (there was a big segment about trolls with fire damage immunity in kingmaker), you would reduce the enemy HP to zero and he wouldn't die, and if you stopped attacking he would regenerate, but if you kept attacking, he stayed knocked out on the ground. In PNP you could just remove the head and other bits of the troll and call it a day, even if it came back, it would take days, but not in a videogame, so coup was the go to solution, a insta kill that can only be used on already pretty much dead enemies. Many times it's not really worth it using coup since you can finish that one last sleeping enemy by simply having the whole team attack him before he stand up and the extra attacks of opportunity.

2:18 - There also can't be an upturned root, a pamphlet on the floor, a mote of dust in the air, or a figment of the imagination in the way either, apparently. There have been _so many_ occasions where I can't tell what could possibly account for the "path to target is blocked" message in this game, particularly while scooting back and forth trying to line up an ambush vector. I can't complain overmuch because it's a cavalier charge that explodes whatever I hit with it when it works, which is often, but pathing obstructions have been truly baffling sometimes.

rage gives a +2 str and con but a - 2 to ac. this is with any rage effect. note the con boost is temporary and if the rage ends and you have taken more damage than you have normal con than you die. for example if you have 10 con but got rage (making it 12 con) and you took enough damage to go down to -11 you will die. as the rage effect ends when you go unconscious and since the rage was all that you keeping you alive with that gone now you die. keep in mind death happens at -your con. so Camellia who has a who has a 14 con dies a -14 hp.

I have defensive fighting on at all times with my tank, there's also a feat that reduce the attack penalty (Crane Style). As far as acrobatics though, I hardly ever use it. I'll only use it when an enemy manages to threaten a backline character (and most of the time the enemy chases the person down so unless your tank isn't already busy or you have another tank/off tank in your party ready to stand between the character trying to get away and the enemy, then acrobatics wont really do much for you. Definitely good for melee casters though) As for my tank, he never uses acrobatics since his AC is so high that most attacks miss unless its a crit or he's flatfooted or its a stupid swarm(Level 7 and 50-52 AC buffed but flatfooted is like 29 AC and touch is like 30 somthing since its a no armor, dodge/dex based tank).

The only thing I hate is how sleep spells are only useful for like the first 3 levels. After that, everything has more than 4 hit die, so there's no point in trying. And by the time you unlock the advanced sleep spell that works on 10 hit die, every enemy has 11+ hit die. So those spells are effectively useless. The hex works on any hit die, which is awesome, but it counts as a supernatural ability, and therefor doesn't gain any extra difficulty class from feats that affect enchantments as far as I understand it. Making the hit die not an issue, but the difficulty class being so low that most enemies don't have a problem passing the will check.

Man I didnt even realize coup de grace was a thing til like act 3 (first playthrough), and after making so many other mistakes I'm going to just start a new game...

[@bin4saken69]

Love this, I've always wondered what these do

[@WolfheartFPS]

Great to hear. Thanks Brandon.

[@Haan22]

The elite way of charging? Line up all your melee outside of detection, pause, issue the charge command on all of them, unpause, watch the glorious murder race. And you can switch to turn based once the charge hits home.

[@WolfheartFPS]

I’m going to try this lol

[@michaelhughes9278]

@@WolfheartFPS there is a feat that gives you double damage when mounted on a charge its really good. it's basically like a free critical hit that the beginning of battle.

[@ffbotha]

Yep, can confirm that this is highly effective

[@redcapetimetraveler7688]

4:50 "coup de grace" is a medieval thing ,, when knights fought each others in heavy armors,and when one enemy was badly wounded : his victor had to use a dagger called "misericorde" to deliver the deadly blow.

[@Deadknight67]

Actually, Coup de Grâce was originally used by Torturers in middle age to signifie they'll end the sufferings by killing the person. The Verb "Gracier" meaning to pardon or give a favor. In the context, stopping the suffering was the favor given. It only became a fighting expression in the Renaissance the late 17th century. As for the miséricorde, it's disputed whether the weapon was just a dagger sometimes called dagger sometimes miséricorde as the defending fighter would say "miséricorde" (have mercy) when the weapon was drawn.

Great guide. Please also make a video on mutation warrior like the witcher.

Interesting. I don’t know much about that but it sounds cool.

@@WolfheartFPS it's fighter archetype. Mechanics is kind of similar that of vivisectionist minus sneak attack.

[@Seigmoraig1]

For Fighting Defensively, once you get level 5-6 and your attack bonus is no longer puny, just leave it on and never take it off. The bonus to AC is much more valuable than the penalty to attack rolls

[@WolfheartFPS]

great tip. I shall give that a try

[@imranbohari1]

fantastic video

[@philkitty5945]

Thanks Wolf, good few tips I've learnt there! I just need to stop making characters and play the actual game more :) Keep up the fab content & 100K subs coming your way soon!

Haha I feel ya Phil. Thanks!

[@SmegInThePants]

I'm playing a similar character, primal druid, went azata, way fun. Full on strength and wis. Same companion. I went a different race. Cleave is great w/the triceratops w/its heavy handed single attack, turns its one attack on a single target into one attack on multiple targets. I plum forgot until act 2 that the primal version of the druid can change any spell into an enhanced version of enlarge person (if used on yourself), the tooltip just shows the normal text, but when used on yourself its double the normal benefits. Also, can use it on others as a normal enlarge person which can still be handy. And u still retain the ability to change any spell into a summon spell. Truly a jack of all trades. W/abundant casting one can spam summons and buffs. And w/the mythic paths ya can easily make up for the trade off that a jack of all trades usually has to make. Like in azata can go 'incredible might' to make up for the less than full BAB progression a druid gets. And it procs special effects on charge, so if one uses the tips in the vid and remembers to use charge, they get a ton of extra benefit from it (any azata of any class would, not just a primal druid, but a primal druid in smilodon form w/its inherent pounce ability gets 5 attacks after their charge + the incredible might proc, plus it also procs on crits and w/a charge netting u 5 attacks you have a good chance of critting somewhere in there for an additional proc of incredible might). Fun as hell.

[@jmmywyf4lyf]

Coup De Grace is one I used heavily.. Acrobatics is one Ive never once used.

[@briankelly1240]

Fighting defensively is great because you can turn off when attacking them turn right back on after attack, best of both

[@choilee3]

thx your tip! English is my second language so i cannot fully understand all skills effect. After this i understand these skills haha

happy to help!

In turn-based combat its better to press shift and move safely without checks (unless enemy is big, like some bosses, and has wider reach)

Great stuff, yeah I gradually discovered the utility of these things myself over a period. But wrt the Inspire Rage thing, are you accepting rage when you have the square spinning (on) or are you accepting rage when the square is dead (off)?

[@WolfheartFPS]

You accept rage when it is spinning. Thanks!
