Warriorīattle Stomp – This Skill allows you to clear surfaces, but more importantly Crowd Control enemies once they have no Physical Armour. Please keep in mind these are not mandatory, but if you find you are having a difficult time then try gaining and using these and you should be fine. Below is a list of recommended Skills, with notes about each, that you can obtain in Fort Joy.
You can learn a number of Skills that provide you temporary Armour buffs in Fort Joy, as well as ones that Crowd Control enemies, and these should be acquired as soon as possible (if you didn’t take them during Character Creation). Maintaining your Armour and stripping your enemies’ are the two most important aspects of combat.
Also, consider using a Shield on melee and mage characters earlier on in the game, where the damage difference between a One-Handed Weapon and a Two-Handed Weapon is not as great, and the extra Armour is extremely useful. It’s a great idea to try to balance the amount of Physical and Magical Armour you have, with a slight emphasis on Physical Armour, because most of the early game enemies will deal this type of damage. Where your Physical and Magical Armour displays are located.īecause Armour is so important you should prioritize equipment with higher Armour values rather than the bonuses they give (except for maybe Jewelry), and this goes for all of your party members.
