Thrall Stats and Attributes Explained | Conan Exiles

[@pirtu7145]

Just to add a tip for whoever is reading: You can unlock the Perfected Heavy Armor set from one of the journeysteps. This is a great armor set for thralls, since it gives more armor than your regular heavy armor, and all the pieces give +5% Agility AND +5% Strength (if crafted with a T4 armorer, preferably a shieldwright ofcourse). If you use this armor for your thralls, you remain a bit more flexible with what weapons you can give it. There are min/max sets for strength and agility, but I prefer the Perfected Heavy set for my thralls. Great vid!

[@xxxlonewolf49]

I watched a video that showed archers with higher agility hitting more often, even not missing with really high agi.

[@darkerthanblack8897]

Today i got a Brute who was blessed by the gods with vitality😂 He is technivally a berserker with more dmg now

[@Bearith]

Nice video Wak. Glad you showed us how this works. My biggest takeaway is the vitality for the thralls! I've lost several thralls recently with all the changes. However, I love the ability to reroll the thralls perks. That makes getting the higher vitality much easier. Thanks.

[@robingrapentin2238]

Thank you for putting out this info, there's so much misinformation in the community because most people don't understand the various hidden stats/multipliers!

[@Alabama664]

Thank you Wak for putting out another video that thoroughly explains what each stats for thrall is about. I started playing Conan when Age of Sorcery Chapter 1 was released and I am still playing the game today. Your videos have helped me to learn a lot about the game. Things that I learned in Age of War: For lower level, it is probably best to knock out a T3 Dafari or Exile fighter first. After that, it is a good idea to try to get your hands on a Cannibal Brute, Ritualist, or Thugra. Players on my server have gotten Brutes with 100% growth rate in BOTH Strength and in Vitality. They are squishy when you get them, but does a monstrous amount of damage at level 20. Bearers are also a good option. When playing at a higher level, getting the Berserkers from Mounds is still a great option if you plan to do some purges. They start out with 2600hp with great damage. Pretty good right out of the box. The best way to get Named Archers/Fighters, Dancers and Bearers is to do a purge. Doing Level 8, 9 and 10 purges will give you the best thralls. Crafters are unavailable though. Important: Always put your defense into testing with a level 1 purge and slowly move up from there. The easiest way to defend against a purge is to use "Fence" or "half wall" to make a long choke point and have 10 - 20 Berserkers to guard the exit of the choke point. One thing that I noticed is that the Fences(half wall) seem to mess up the pathing for the Purge A.I. They would somewhat get stuck on their own inside the choke point. On the other hand, they move swiftly through normal walls and Door frames, and it would just be a bloodbath when that happens. Be ready to lose thralls when testing out with the new purge, which is why I recommend using Berserkers(level 0) for defense as they can be easily replaced.

THIS is the information i needed! I got sucked into tooo many posts on reddit with a bunch of knuckle draggers arguing over nothing lol.

[@seamusoconaill8265]

I was hoping that this would be the next video. Thanks for all the math and research work.

[@ThisIsMrEricTV]

I've noticed that when leveling my thrawl, they usually get positive perks more than negative when I have well-trained active over war party. Once you have them to 20, switch to war party and have fun but know they will not have those extra HPs from well-trained.

[@neffer1960]

Very informative. Thank you Wak

[@AnoAno94]

Thank You!!!! Finally the DEETS!!! THANK YOU! As a popular CE content creator, it's great that this info is finally laid bare for more people Sorry if you saw my annoying comments about this before.

[@wintersteale8869]

Thanks for the info. I just don't understand why I need a certification in trigonometry , to make graphs, 20 sheets of paper and 5 hrs to figure out all these stat numbers for thralls. Damn you Funcom! *shaking my fist*

[@griffinhatchling]

Bonus information: the stat grow rate indentifies how likely it is to get a +1 on the stat, but after this gain there is a second gain roll at half the grow rate. A thrall with 100% vita grow will get +1 vita per lvl for sure and a 50% chance to get another +1. If you boost it to the max, (100%+14%) you have a 57% chance to get +2 vita per lvl.

[@highcommander2007]

also a third chance to get a 3rd point, 25% in your first example. And 28% in your second example.

[@ww1950]

Thanks for the info.

[@MadPirateShin]

Growth percentages are not truly random. Catch the same guy enough and you will start to see patterns, pets show obvious manipulation with some of their growth locked at the 40% minimum. Something noteworthy is that adding the growth from each stat will always give you the same number for that faction: some factions even get enough points to have a chance at 100% growth in two attributes!

[@Mister_Peppers]

In the modders guide that they released it says you can add "weights" the these values so that the growth chances will favor certain stats.

[@MadPirateShin]

Yeah, I have noticed that certain factions tend to get higher % in specific stats@@Mister_Peppers , but there are also hard caps: the Relic Hiunter Treasure Seekers could not get more than 80% growth in agility (last year, have not tested this year).

[@Mister_Peppers]

@@MadPirateShini have notice hykerian and shemite archers of all factions got a bump to their ranged multiplier. This includes rhts (#10 and 12 i think). I had to spawn them to see what their models were and they were indeed hyk and she.

[@Yolo_Swagins]

Great video

[@sharktits2043]

Good Video, breaks down pretty much all the relevant thrall info needed. Your best thralls no matter what are still all the usual suspects, Cimmerian Berzerkers/Dalinsia start with good Vit and some Str bonus, so make excellent meat shields with a decent damage mod of 2.2 for melee, and like 2.1 for ranged, just take a long time to level up, can easily handle anything the game has to offer. Cannibal Brutes are your glass cannons, high damage, low hp, good for mass archer spam or high dps personal combat buddy with the well trained perk in authority. Relic Hunters were sadly nerfed into the ground and no longer worth using, their high starting hp and hp per level was nuked, as well as their base damage mod now being like 1.7 for both melee and ranged. Volcano fighters are in the same boat, they have lower hp than Berzerkers, and not as much damage as Cannibals, so no real reason to use them over the other two. The most important 2 stats for a thrall are still that hidden damage modifier # and their starting hp and hp per level to determine how tanky they can end up.

[@zaidmohammad757]

Black hand elites also gain 8.25% per 10pts agility/strength. N Batu (dogs of the desert) is a terrific thrall. Very underrated

[@Malaena]

yes I have seen this damage bug with bows lately to. you can see the hit register and do nothing, sounds like with your testing it is actually 1 damage but still a waste.

[@copious983]

Great video, TY. What happened with accuracy? That used to be thing. My brutes eg. I don't give them bows anymore cos the last time checked (on beta) they seemed to miss a lot whereas the dragoon archer guy hardly ever missed. I doubt accuracy would've been removed entirely from the game because of the mechanics it was tied to that are still in the game.

[@aresgalamatis7022]

@4:50 you should also clarify that archer/fighter has no impact on being better in melee/ranged... simply put it does not matter in game. Give an agility archer a bec-de-corbin and they will be deadly with it, should they have have enough agility... or even better get any named bearer with heartsblood or the festering one and they will live long enough to kill anything, because of their crazy health, plus have the slots to carry your loot after the fight ;)

[@daxive4918]

Nice Video. Also, correct me if I am wrong, but thralls aren't affected by stamina. That's why I ignore Grit and just let them wear heavy armor. The more armor you have, the less another point gives. 1000 armor is 80% damage reduction already, a few points from grit doesn't change that. (math could be slightly off)

[@highcommander2007]

Grit is more than stamina. Grit grants your thrall bonus armor value. Each thrall has a hidden grit ratio where they gain specific amount of armor per grit point. For example a thrall with 10 grit points and 100 bonus grit armor listed in the stat attributes window has a 10 modifier to grit.

[@ErnaMcburna]

So I went on a mission for black ice, I took my strongest thrall (level 14) T3, I make it near the mountains and decided to swim across the water to access the mountains, as soon as we touched land we were attacked by 6 npc’s, killed 3 the 3 that were on my thrall he killed one and the other 2 finished him I ended up diving back in the water and fleeing in terror, I marked that location on my map I will avenge him…I was able to sneak past that area and did find some black ice, has nothing to do with this video, but I need to level my thralls better so here I am

[@user-em6ww6pn8q]

Good luck Bro. I lost about 2 or 3 level 20 Thralls. Oh it sucks. Almost every time is because if I die they will bug out and just stand there while getting beat up. I lost a Level 20 to the Dredd Cannibals which normally my Thrall will destroy them all herself. But I died goofing off and ran back as fast as Possible but was 5 seconds to late. I scene her just standing there not fighting back at all with about 6 Cannibals beating her up. Made it 5 ft from her but she died. I was so pissed. I figured I'd get back there and she Kill them all or would have left to return to my Base so just a warning. I got a Cimmerian Berserker now at level 20. She's very easy to get because she is alone, sometimes a He. But so far with her Legendary blades she's destroyed everything we came across. Oh and watch that Damn Snake at the Ruin's near the Sink hole in the desert along the river. It poison's you're Thralls so fast. Use Gas arrows. Oh and the last Boss in the Silver mine is brutal also, we had to retreat. But my Thrall and I been going through 3 skull bosses pretty easy so far. The first, second, third, forth main boss been pretty easy. I do feel heart broken after losing my Thrall's and we also get are revenge. We just destroyed all that Underwater city a hour ago. Are Journey sets forth for new danger tomorrow lol. Good luck friend.

Grilled steak to level up Vitality in your thralls.

[@Quinlan-Michaelis]

So when you're talking about you want to level your thrall up in this or that you make it sound like you can control manually what stats a thrall goes up in but you cannot. When they level it puts points in their stats based on that percentage. Unless there's something I'm absolutely missing which I would highly appreciate being told

[@MadPirateShin]

Feeding them specific foods will boost the growth % of various attributes. For humans: gruel increases STR growth by 14%, while the grilled steak increases VIT growth by 14%. You have to get them to eat after each level, since the leveling ‘uses’ the increase. Certain foods will over-write the increase from other specific foods, so try to keep your follower on a strict diet.

[@13Danielx]

Thank you for this. I thought I was missing something too.

[@dhaishan7078]

I wish they'd make roasted haunch a 7% agility / 7% vitality growth chance buff 🤔

[@DaddySadiist]

Could you tell me what the best individual thrall is for strength and or agility?

[@altakiri4001]

So focussing vitality and grit over strength or agility gives best dividends. Then equip whatever weapon they levelled the most in.

[@highcommander2007]

not exactly true. Because the faster you kill an enemy the less time they have to kill you back. The tankiest thralls with all the points in vitality and grit take far too long to kill something. They might take 100+ hits from the thing you are trying to kill. Where as a high damage thrall with a little health might only take 10 hits in the time it takes to kill. The only exception to this, is if you plan on doing all the damage. In that case a very tanky thrall is fine while you beat on the enemy.

[@altakiri4001]

@@highcommander2007 Through a bit of playtesting (not extensive, I don't really care enough to truly Min/Max) I don't find too much difference between the innate melee damage bonus for the thrall with the small percentage upgrade from a combat stat, however the armour and health bonuses tend to, at least to me, provide a more tangible benefit, than a few extra points of damage on whatever weapon they're wielding. That being said, It's a game, play the way you want to. Enjoy it the way you like! The opinion I have expressed above above is subjective.

[@highcommander2007]

[@Unknown40829]

Hey 👋, can someone tell me how to use the fighter thralls I've searched on yt but can't find how to do it.

[@jorgecrespochavez399]

Hi, so I just need to ask you… If I’m leveling up a thrall on strength, and it has a very very low agility… would that affect on how the thrall will behave when fighting!? I mean… coz when thralls are low level they tend to be pretty clumsy and inconsistent… does agility has something to to with it!? Or is it purely for the “agility weapons” thing!?

[@D_Da_Tree]

So in the growth chance is that 1 stat per level or do all stats have that % to level up?

[@Lost_Elfgirl]

Hey Wak, do you know how to get that armor now cuz the guys who sell this are gone? I never found a recipe for it even in the admin panel exist an epic variant of it. I do not want to cheat and spawn it in, but I can not find a way to get that armor, so you or anyone here have any idea?

[@jiridubislav8640]

I dont understand what you mean with * levelling them in a certain stat * or giving them attribute points. the thralls I have here just level randomly

[@highcommander2007]

A thrall gains 1, 2, or 3 points in a stat each time it levels. You can give food to help influence (adds 14% chance) which stat that will be. It is still random, unless you have a thrall which has a growth chance of 100% in a stat.

[@Raussl]

however, the dmg boost a thrall gets from strength or agility is almost irrelevant compared to its melee or ranged modifier. Thrall dmg is obscure and broken...the "effects" category doesn't even work. not even mentioning how much inferior animals are. Golems seem to fit though, not sure about zombies.

[@locngo2120]

they nerfed them do u have an update ?

[@k1llerc0ach69]

Great video! Why are the harder to get thralls worse? I feel like that should be the other way around. The fact that berserkers don't get a higher percentage for strength on top of not getting a higher damage modifier is just dumb. The harder to get thralls should be better. The base health is a good start, but there should be more 🤷

[@frillen5834]

I wouldn't call a berserker for a hard to get thrall, they are among the easiest to get in the game, heck even in early game you can knock out the single 100% spawning wandering berserker, he/she is always alone in an area where nothing will interfere, all you need is some patience and avoid being hit by him which is fairly easy... I mean ffs in my last restart on a fresh server I knocked him out shortly after I had unlocked the thrall taker, I was somewhere between level 10 and 15, took some time yes, but holy hell it is an easy named fighter to get XD

[@k1llerc0ach69]

@frillen5834 I can see that point, but the area that he is in is challenging to get through for someone who isn't as experienced. I kinda see it as a progression based game. Finished with noob river, move on to the upper desert, then jungle, highlands, snow, then volcano. Yes, you can just run through them, but the health and damage they deal should reflect the quality of the thrall that you will get. Compare knocking out the berserker vs cannibal brute. Brute is SIGNIFICANTLY easier to knock out, faster to level but kinda squishy. The berserker is leaps and bounds harder to get in regards to damage dealt, resistance to blugeoning, and the area he resides. In all regards..... his stats should be higher.

[@frillen5834]

​ @k1llerc0ach69 I'm sorry but I have to disagree with you, and that is alright, we all have different opinions :) Yes it is true that the Mounds is a harder area, but it also lacks a lot of threat from wild animals, there isn't much other than wights around them, however they are very easy to spot and avoid. Yes an unexperienced player might not do well getting up there to get a thrall, but they probably wouldn't even do well knocking out a T4 exile either :D Ever since full release after ea, T4 relic hunters, cimmerians, nordheimers and to some extent vulcano fighters have been way more overpowered compared to all other factions which is a shame and only create metas, if anyone should have a slight buff it should be relic hunters and vulcano fighters. Funcom is trying to make all factions usable as fighter thralls, and the new system isn't perfect but they are getting closer to their goal. T4 cimmerian fighters are those that were least affected by the changes, vulcano fighter became much worse and worst of all relic hunters have almost hit bottom from pretty much always have been a top tier. Also you got to remember that a cannibal brute like a T4 exile comes out of the box with only 15 attribute points compared to 45 attribute points for the remaining factions, cimmerians have more than 2500 hp when placed, a Brute has a little more than 400 hp, that is a huge difference right from level 0, especially since hp now is the main focus for any follower. Damage isn't that important anymore, pretty much any T4 fighter no matter their faction will perform well in general combat when they are levelled, it is only against high hp things like bosses where a higher damage output will save some time, but in combat against several enemies it is their ability to survive that counts the most, and I think that is what Funcom is aiming at. Yes thralls still needs some more balancing, I wouldn't mind all T4 thralls no matter their faction having the same levelling speed, but giving buffing berserker more would just make them OP again. sorry I am just tired of seeing them be pretty much the only choice thralls, especially since they are so damn easy to get early on, it is no coincidence that what you see the most of around peoples bases is Dalinsia's and berserkers. also I think they need to have a system where T4 fighters aren't a guaranteed spawn, but be a bit more random and if a T4 fighter spawns it will automatically have 2-3 helpers around them that cannot be knocked out, so that you actually have to fight to get to them :)

[@k1llerc0ach69]

@frillen5834 I never really thought about it like that 🤔. I never really noticed the additional attribute points now that I think about it. I guess I just kinda ran with the meta and got a little upset that they nerfed my boi again 😅. The health difference is definitely noticed but the lack of the damage modifier was a little confusing to me. Your explanation makes a lot of sense. I can definitely say that they have kinda messed up named bearers again with hp being less on a level 20 t4 vs a t3. But the fighter mechanic does seem to be improving and giving different thralls different capabilities. I did see another comment that I found interesting. Give the thralls in different areas different inate abilities. Maybe give Nordehiemers/lost tribe frost snap, skelos gets poison, Dafari bleed ect. I think it's interesting but don't think it would be well implemented.
