For new Talents aim for Executioner to regain AP, Hothead for critical hit rate, and Elemental Affinity to reduce AP costs; if you are using more spells than pure melee also get Savage Sortilege to gain magic criticals. With Gift Bags, Sadist will deal Fire damage on Burning targ

The default Metamorph build is 2 Strength, 2 Finesse, 1 Two-Handed, 1 Polymorph, 1 Persuasion; Chicken Claw, Tentacle Lash, Bullhorns skills and Opportunist Talent. This is what recruited companions will have, but your main character can tweak this to be a bit better. You can also retrain your allies once getting to a Magic Mirror for respec

As a Battlemage, you will be dealing with some mix between Physical and Magic damage. It would be better to just prioritize one: either heavily invest in two-handed Strength weapons and Warfare or Intelligence staves and Pyrokinetic . Either way, being on the frontlines means that it would be good to wear Strength-based armor. Consider starting with 1 Strength (mostly for future gear requirements), 2 Intelligence, 1 Warfare, 1 Pyrokinetic, and Civil Ability matching your character (Barter for Ifan, Loremaster for Sebille, et

The base Battlemage during character creation (or if you recruit a companion) is 1 Strength, 1 Intelligence, 1 Constitution, 1 Warfare, 1 Aerotheurge, 1 Persuasion; Battering Ram, Shocking Touch, Blinding Radiance skills and the Comeback Kid Talent. While Air damage is serviceable, you can cause much more destruction by beginning with Fire damage and adding in other elements la

Knight of Amadia’s Gloves (Gloves): Enter Amadia’s Shrine at Nameless Isle and solve the entire puzzle inside for this reward. An Intelligence based armor that gives bonuses to Pyrokinetic and Aerotheu

This can cause players to miss entertaining encounters and puzzle solutions, which can become pretty grating after a point. Thankfully, with the Infinity Spirit Vision mod, players don't have to manually trigger this power every single time, which will save them the headache of wondering if they've missed out on a ghostly encounter because they forgot to turn Spirit Vision

You gain a bonus to Pyrokinetic and Hydrosophist, or Geomancer and Aerotheurge that swaps each turn. This is a great talent for mages that use elemental pairs. Because of the way surfaces and clouds react, it is best to pair up Pyro with Geo and Hydro with Aero for damage, buffs, and healing. Since which cycle you start with is random, it might not be as helpful if you lack a bonus at the time of cast

Specializing in Aerotheurgy will give access to Electric Infusion, Cursed Electric Infusion in the Summoning skill line. Aerotheurgy uses the power of air and storms to build up the player. This skill line works well for a stealthy supporting role. To the best effect with Summoning, abilities like Favorable Winds, Blinding Radiance, Erratic Wisp, Blessed Smoke Cloud, Teleportation, Nether Swap, Apportation, and Chain Lightn

While already pickpocketing someone, become invisible to other characters’ vision cones. This is a great way to making stealing much easier, especially in crowded towns or enemy filled dungeons. Anyone can be the team’s thief by investing in the Thievery Civil Ability, but Undead and Dwarves have small advantages: the former can unlock doors with their fingers, and the latter gains a bonus to Sneaking to initiate crimes in the first place. Stealing from others is the best means of making money or nabbing key items instead of completing a qu

Characters gain talent points at level 1, 3, 8, 13, 18, 23, 28, and 33. Divinity Original Sin 2 is programmed for more points at higher levels, but due to the limited amount of experience points, it is likely most parties will complete the SLG game strategy at level 22

Spirit Vision is one of the most important abilities a player can use to uncover hidden quests, talk to spirits that have passed on, and uncover any hidden information that will help them understand the lore of the world even more. Unfortunately, this skill needs to be activated every single time, and the instances of its use aren't always that obvi

Divinity’s bartering system is solid overall, but it does have one endlessly frustrating issue: the barter and persuasion skills used are character-dependent. That means if a player accidentally makes a trade with a non-bartering specialized character, they can kiss all their extra money and bartering bonuses good

Whenever someone uses a Source Skill, you have a 1/5 chance of gaining Source; it requires being level 6. This talent is best used once your party can hold three Source Points, likely near the end of Reaper’s Coast around level 15 or 16. The party should have some kind of synergy when using Source Skills of the same damage type, like Arrow Storm and Grasp of the Starved, which are both physical attacks. Greedy Soul is less useful for reactionary and healing Source powers you might not use as of
