  In search of guidance regarding character creation and tactics in "Destiny Quest: The Legion of Shadow"

  27 July 2024 at 10:19am

  Hello Everyone,

  I'm just getting started with Destiny Quest, having just finished "The Legion of Shadow." The game's richness and wide range of options are really appealing to me. But as I go along, I discover that there are so many options available to me in terms of character development and gameplay. I was hoping that the more seasoned travellers here could offer some guidance.

  Character Development: I'm going for an equilibrium build as a warrior right now. I want to play both defence and offence with effectiveness. What are the essential abilities and tools that I should get first? Which skills or routes in particular stand out as essential for a warrior?

  Combat Strategies: I'm finding that some of my encounters are really difficult, particularly when there are a lot of foes present. Are there any particular techniques or strategies that could improve my ability to handle these fights? In particular, I'm curious about how to use my skills and items to their fullest in battle.

  Management of Resources: I've discovered that potions and gold need to be managed carefully. What are some pointers to make sure I don't run out of necessary supplies? Are there any improvements or products for which I should set aside gold?

  Advice for Novices: Are there any additional general guidelines or pointers that you believe would be helpful for someone like me? Whether it has to do with quest options, exploration, or really anything else that might boost my mlops gaming experience.

  Thank you in advance.

  The best strategy in DestinyQuest books is always to aim for Speed, no matter what class you are. When your Speed hits a high enough level, almost nothing (with a few exceptions) can touch you, no matter how many opponents they throw at you. There will be no need for any resource managements except in those tough boss fights.

  As for abilities, I usually let them take second place behind the stats of the equipment, meaning I choose equipment due to their Speed stats, then Brawn/Magic stats, then the skills they offer. You can see my general strategy for the entire game.

  Hope that helps in developing your own strategy for the book.

  I've done a warrior walkthrough guide for Legion of Shadow, over on Youtube, if you wanted to check out one or two episodes to get a feel for the class.

  As a novice/starter you may want to avoid going too 'balanced' with your first warrior (i.e I would favour brawn over armour). In Legion of Shadow, armour builds are quite tough to play and get right.

  As Seabreeze recommends, pick items that help boost your speed and your brawn, with armour as a third but less important option.

  When it comes to abilities, speed and combat abilities are probably your 'go to' abilities.

  Anyway, good luck! Legion is the toughest of all my DQ books (in my opinion)!
