Top 10 Most OP Divinity: Original Sin 2 Skills!

[@prado0089]

Divinity 2 is one of the best games I've ever played, the narrative, combat and honestly everything is very well done and focused on being fun.

[@MrCaptainTea]

Hard agree. I never played it because I wasn't really into turn based games but after broadening my horizons with fallout 1 and 2, I tried div 2 out for the first time only a couple of days ago. It's already in my GOAT games list

[@BarbarisII]

Yall gotta play the first one, too! It's incredible.

[@TastyGamingQc]

It’s complete trash. I can’t even get past Fort Joy bc I think I put myself in an impossible situation and if it’s possible to do that in tutorial it means your game as FUNDAMENTAL problems. Can’t fight the slugs bc I need armor. Don’t have armor bc I guess I didn’t befriend the lizard in the cave so he isn’t selling anything. I can’t talk my way out of it bc I don’t have pet pall. Even if I dodge them and go straight to the prison, I can’t fight the ppl there as I have no armor still. I didn’t know the zombie guy was the templar girl father so I killed him without her being there so she won’t help me escape. I am not an elf so I can’t ask the elves to help me escape. I didn’t kill Griff so he gave me a thing which I used to the ppl playing cards so they refuse to speak to me. Literally unknowingly put myself in a corner in the fucking tutorial zone…been trying for MONTHS to find a way out of this mess and it seems like the way I did things just completely fucked everything up. And again if your games allow that then there’s fundamental issues with it.

[@prado0089]

@@TastyGamingQc this is literary wat makes que game good. You can do everything wrong if you want Or even do it unintentionally like in your case. Think outside the box buddy, now that you know the consequences and understand better the tough you can even start over if you want. Or you can continue as you are. Believe nothing you did there locks you in the game or puts you in an impossible situation. If you're having so much difficulty, play on easy, which also solves it. Why would the game be wrong to let you fail if you've told the game yourself that you're looking for a challenge?

[@matrixphijr]

I know this is old, but protip for Uncanny Evasion and Chameleon Cloak: You can delay your turn when it comes back around to essentially get another turn's worth of defense out of these skills before ending them. If you have high incentive, you'll then get back to back turns which you can use to huge advantage. Works great on solo Lone Wolf runs, for example.

[@TylerYoutubeGamingChannel]

Thank you

[@ElectricianAl]

Act 2 where the red prince gets ambushed by 4 assassins you can get an awesome bow that has a permanent evasion stat. So your ranger will basically permanently have 90% dodge chance. You have to start the fight and than sneak your thief behind one of the 2 archers and steal it during the fight(they disappear after the encounter). It is awesome!

[@ElectricianAl]

P.s. I think you need thief skill of 4

[@Br3ttM]

One of my favorites is Worm Tremor with the torturer talent. It's and AoE immobilization, and torturer lets it bypass magic armor. It makes melee enemies mostly useless, and keeps ranged enemies from taking high ground, and for any enemies, keeps them in a nice group to pound with other AoE effects. Torturer is definitely one of the best talents, and makes certain abilities that are normally average into very powerful effects. If you are focusing on physical damage, and the enemy uses fortify, just use anything that inflicts bleed, and with torturer, it will remove that fortify, and all that armor. Anyone with necro, pyro, or geo should get it.

[@mr24coja]

That and if you're going down the Geo route anyways, for lategame you have the option to grab Pyroclastic Eruption, which can straight up one hit kill every encounter in the end game if you set up for it correctly. I personally used it on my first playthrough on Tactician difficulty and ended up one-turn killing the entire final fight, before it even got to transition into the spoiler territory. The downside is obviously that I had to literally reload a save and restrict myself from using the skill in order to witness the actual fight, because I would have missed out on one of the coolest fights in the game otherwise

[@vegetavegeta7552]

Yeah, on lone wolf, teleport into worm tremor can usually disable entire the enemy comp for 3 turns, also not mentioned in the video was nether swap, it can do a lot of the same things as teleport due to costing 1 ap, you can reposition your character for 1 ap so your target ends up where you want them to, also the pawn talent works extra well if you use nether swap regularly, it's a decent talent in general

[@syraphian]

My biggest mistake during my first playthrough of DOS2 was completely ignoring the polymorph skill ie no chicken claw or skin graft for the whole playthrough

[@mrpara7276]

Dont worry they arnt needed, i beat the game on tactician without using polymorph

[@Whitebeardtheking9]

Same.

[@austonsmith536]

my biggest mistake is playing this game blind, like a lot of people say is best to do, when this is my first CRPG ever... anything this dude is talking about on the list sounds like a Chinese-Greek dialect from Polynesia. Minus the title of the skill. Even the .... "4 on 1 someone is lame...". In the JRPG world doing something OP like 4-on-1 is the opposite of lame, it's smart.... especially if you suck so bad you'll die if you didn't. That's like one step to "get-good" level... but it's fun learning new tricks. I'm still not sure where the Dye is in the game? I thought CRPGs have Dyes?

[@hestral2894]

One of the most OP combos is to slap Ruptured Tendons on an enemy then Chicken Claw. Massive damage for two turns. And to add a little more damage try and set fire all around for even more.

[@99_tech35]

this is my favorite move by far! it's also hilarious

[@FernandoSilva-fq8ou]

Add to that haste so the chicken runs longer, so more dmg :D

[@Tyndaal604]

Unstable + Last Rites on 2 characters hahhaha

[@zen1258]

If you add bleed fire, they also take fire damage for every bleed tick. But requires both physical and magic defences down.

[@johnroscoe2406]

If you're going to talk about vanilla unmodded skills it would make sense to show vanilla unmodded gameplay...

[@sloppymcfloppy3349]

I’ve watched your smite content for years and didn’t know u played DOS2, this is dope👍🏻

[@DudeWheresMyCardz]

My mate is absolutely dominating with the tentacle slap and the sheild throw!

[@QuintonChinouya]

idk, i feel like because of when you get skingraft, it's not all that OP. You get it late into the game when you're already supposed to be doing broken stuff. In addition to that you're also asking from yourself to invest 3 points into polymorph which can feel awkward at times. Chicken claw is a very resilient disable but because of the characters that i have that could use it feels a bit too expensive for me. I mostly play solo and i'd say for me this would be my top 10. 1. peace of mind 2. adrenaline 3. teleportation 4. chameleon cloak 5. uncanny evasion 6. (the scoundrel that makes you teleport spell) 7. haste 8. fortify 9. magic shell 10. that one spell that gives you armor based on dead people honorable mention that one warfare spell where you hit the ground and stun people

[@gdoggy121]

I’m so happy that you’re getting into this game.

[@Silverbolt197]

I'm surprised you didn't mention the scroll version of Skin Graft. While a bit limited by how many animal scales and source orbs you can get, it has no AP/SP cost, or once-per-battle restrictions.

[@unisamati5478]

No joke, corpse explosion is bonker. Especially pair with teleportation and nether swap.

[@JackCast101]

I’d swap dominate mind and chicken claw for Tentacle Lash and Apotheosis also another honourable mention i would have is Peace of Mind, it gives a decent stat buff but the 20% accuracy increase is really nice to have

[@petrsidlo7614]

I have piece of mind on 3 characters, the boost to offensive primary stats is nice for sure, but +10 wits late game? total game changer. I cast on characters in conversations, than on at least one other before the fight, the initiative and crit chance do wonder for gaining early control in a fight.

[@jesta1215]

Honestly the best skills in the game are all in the polymorph tree. ESPECIALLY "Tentacle Lash" and "Spread your Wings". Tentacle lash is a guaranteed disarm and is a ranged attack that melee chars can use. It also scales pretty ridiculously with strength. Spread your wings makes you fly. Meaning you are immune to all ground hazards and you can get high ground for more range/damage on casters or archers. They are both stupid good.

[@RafaelSilva-qz3os]

I would tie Apothesis with skin graft, just because you can use both + AP generating skills in the same turn. It led me to build a stupid Fane Aeromancer + Poli God, where i could cast ThunderStorm twice and still have some lighting for the turn and next turn, absolutely disgusting

[@finna1002]

Love this type of content. Intersect please cover baldurs gate 3 when it's fully released. Please please please. Also do a playthrough of it. Bg3 is basically divinity original sin 3

[@Cicincz]

also you can keep teleportation gloves with you up to level 20 :D where you change them for imortality set

[@jeffbezos2960]

Playing with out teleport feels like you lost your arms

[@sephiroth8377]

Cloak and dagger (self teleport) has to be the most over used skill in my current playthrough with my kiddo and the Dwarf ability Petrifying Touch

[@LuluTheDuck33]

I'm still confuse about Skills. I'm just starting out the game. So many good skills listed here are spread out across multiple Skills group. Should a single character learn all of these skills? Should we spread Skill points thinly across multiple disciplines?

[@Inters3ct]

You definitely can't (and don't want to) get every skill listed here on one character. But you might use multiple like for example Flesh Sacrifice, Adrenaline and Skin Graft work really well together as you can gain 3 AP then reset cooldowns and gain 3 more for a huge first turn in combat. For those you need an elf with scoundrel and polymorph investment. Just experiment with what skills synergize well (for example Pyro and Geo as you can explode oil with fire) and see what works for you!

[@JoaoVictor-rg5ix]

05:44 Or just teleport them onto a Lava Pit. Its perfect for those ultra-regenerative enemies.

[@darkchevalier]

New to the game and really helped me, even though I was confused with your skills list as I didn't recognize them. Just found out that's from the odinblade spectre mod lol

[@coreyano]

#1 adrenaline (Solo-#2 chameleon cloak) #2 flesh sacrifice #3 teleport #4 skin graft #5 hmmm... Chloroform for magic user? Corpse Explosion for necromancer? Grasp of the Starved? Swap? Pyroclastic? Haste? Peace of Mind?

[@user_was_lost3529]

Hey, don't know if you are gonna answer that, but how do you have 8 AP available?

[@Inters3ct]

Lone Wolf trait

[@user_was_lost3529]

@@Inters3ct oh, thanks, that makes sense

[@LuluTheDuck33]

Isn't Tactical Retreat and Teleportation skills are the SAME? Is there a point to have both?

[@Inters3ct]

Teleport can be cast on anything. Allies, enemies, items, chests, etc. It's much more useful than tactical retreat.

[@Miviene13]

Nice video! Anyway I would appreciate if you talk a little more understandable, because not all of us are English native speakers and its extremely difficult to hear some "portions" of the words 😅 I remember when I visited UK and met the real one UK person and I was shocked because i couldn't even hear when one word ends and another begins so you made me feel it again even its like 10 years later and I study English a lot 😂 I'm sayin that because it may cause losing some viewers, which is sad because your works is valuable. :) Cheers

[@CamoCoveSNIPER]

Are those necro skills that day odinblade a mod installed or a giftpack introduced recently

[@Inters3ct]

It's the Odinblade Spectre class mod, focused on piercing damage and stacking agony on enemies

[@CamoCoveSNIPER]

@@Inters3ct that sounds super fun I play on console unfortunately. Trying to get a pc so I can actually replay the game fresh again with the bois

Just got divinity 2 last week cause of the rebate on ps5 and started a solo classic campaign 2 days ago. Now im stuck in act 2 cause im pure solo and outmatched but i think some of these skills are gonna help if not, ill lower down diffulty by 1

[@TitoLounge11]

Skills I thought would've made the list: [Flesh Sacrifice] extremely versatile, costs 0 and innate so doesn't require any investment except being an Elf. [Apotheosis] insane return for hefty investment, combined with Skin Graft will let you solo a team

[@Indie4evar]

But...they are in the list?

[@TitoLounge11]

@Indie4evar Yeah idk wtf I was on commenting that

[@williammitchell6254]

i wish i wasnt so ass at this game. 3 playthrough and the farthest i ever got was level 14 but i kept losing and getting one shot the in missions i was the right level for cause my gear was bad.

I like using Flesh Sacrafice to set up a blood pool.

[@mikehawk1780]

What are these sauce points you keep mentioning?

[@PJxpanterx]

I only use adrenaline on characters that become stronger if they have more ap i a singel turn, I feel like it's a waste for half of my characters and I use other skills for them instead, so not that high on the list for me...

[@Turanic1]

got rings with teleportation , dominant mind and reactive armor on different characters

[@kayiuleung5724]

What about apotheosis?

[@adhominem1342]

you forgot corpse explosion / mass corpse explosion , in act 2 it already out dps my 2 hand sword warrior with just 1 ap lol.

[@sailor_seller]

- where's Peace of Mind tho? it's straight up FREE pre-buff that provides a ton of stats and status prevention/removal - since you're mentioning Reactive Armor it would then make sense to mention Fire Trap and Corpse Explosion (single and mass versions), since they are absolutely busted given their low AP/source cost - I think Dominate Mind should not be on the list, it's too much investment for something you can do with consumables + charm is not a very consistent form of CC to begin with

[@lilmanshank]

It’s a noob list. No Pom, no haste which is free one ap. Dominate mind is kinda useless for 3ap, always found there were better moves

[@rafetizer]

Skin graft, machinery - sputnik sickles found in the sea

[@misterfister7714]

Uncanny evasion is pure battlemage skill provoke>evasion with some passive protection like reactive shot. Edit: Where is implement amazing skill, especialy how chain reaction just follows explosion after explosion while they cant even move, i usualy have 2 corpse explosions when i have geomancer in team; its just too much damage turn after turn. Dont forget shackles of pain on undead and usieing large healing pots to deal amazing damage to bosses and high HP mobs, all you need is enough armor if you want to survive that is, 290+ is optimal in early game, fortify, mendle, living on edge, good shield, i mean its just free damage and good one, i always kill Dallis on ship like that or whats also good is decaying touch if you dont manage to kill it with pots and you have some AP left use sucking blood or restoration to finish it off, oh how i love it.

[@KingStratzah]

Having adrenaline. Time warp and skin graft on one character is busted. My buddy and I did lone wolf. I was the tank support cc bot and he was the blaster glass cannon. Those skills made us absolutely busted.

[@coreyano]

And flesh sacrifice

[@jacoblutz6211]

Chicken claw+rupture tendons OP

[@ThatJaMzGuy]

[@chadkoehn6432]

[@Inters3ct]

It's such a great game!

[@nelrettodelcetaceo]

why chicken claw would be better than a normal knock down ?

[@dcc1974]

I think there may be a few reasons, at least from what I've noticed. It lasts 2 rounds (IIRC), it disables anything the target can do, except run around the battlefield, which if done properly, runs that NPC/chicken through a gauntlet of party members with the "attack of opportunity" ability. Also, if the chicken is in the midst of fire, or has "ruptured tendons" applied, it'll take damage each step. So, for that one spell (especially if combined with some select other factors), you can have a pile of free damage done at no cost to your party. I used this to great effect on Loic the Immaculate at the very start of Act 4. Well, along with Teleport to get the whole thing started.

[@ariemugisatriaji8928]

Flesh Sacrifice is why i always using elf character

[@MrNifty-pj5yu]

Inter if you're big into fantasy games, I'd recommend heroes of might and magic 3 in the wake of gods. Thank me later.

[@cyber_ortek]

For F’s sake why everyone is calling DOS2 Divinity2?! Divinity 2 Ego Draconis is a good game too and I just finished it few months ago. People should pay more attention to that game, turning into dragon and burn enemies is very cool. Plus Divinity 2 is actually the latest events in Divinity timeline.

[@LuluTheDuck33]

If Chameleon Cloak can be used outside combat to perform Steal. Then what's the point of investing in Thieving point at all? Does it worth investing in both Chameleon and Uncanny at the same time? Or are they redundant? I mean, if your are a melee character having Chameleon is counter productive because you want the enemies to attack you, rather than your wizard or archer.

[@GastNdorf]

Chameleon cloak only allows you to not be seen, Thievery influences how expensive or heavy the items you can steal

[@TastyGamingQc]

Okay I’m getting insanely frustrated with this shitty ass game. I’ve been in Fort Joy for MONTHS bc there isn’t a single npc saying anything. The only thing there is to do is go past the fire slugs to that prison thing and my ppl keep dying almost instantly every time I tried the encounter. Ppl said "you need armor from the lizard guy in the cave" but dude isn’t selling anything he just keep saying "tighten his grip around his sword" . Then some ppl said "oh my god just steal the armor around camp" okay but even when I succeed at that it just cause literally every soldier to be on the lookout for a thief and then ENTIRE camp starts attacking you. So I’m sorry but it feels like none of you ACTUALLY played this game before because yall are clueless as to what I’m suppose to do and every person is just saying dummer and dummer stuff. Someone said to literally force my way into the guarded gate…with no armor and at level 2. Like honestly I gave BG3 a chance bc it looks much better dut Divinity 2 is just a fuck fest or half baked mechanics and story.

[@TastyGamingQc]

You need to walk around, explore and talk to literally everyone, you'll get quests, exp and rudimentary equipment. Also, make sure if you're not using the lone wolf talent, to run with a full party of 4 by talking to all the companions. Game is definitely tough, but if you do the right quests to level up, it's not too bad.

It took me over 200 hours to really figure this game out. And by figure out I mean somewhat understand the way it works. Insane game. The Witcher 3, FF7 and Skyrim are my favorites. This game is just incredible and I wish luck to those (like me) trying to figure it out; good luck
