Standard Paths

Class: Knight to Champion

Best Characters: Any

Aspects: Vosh’s Sanguination

Weapons: Balanced (one upgrade only), Accuracy as backup

Knight to champion will yield a player phase attacker who can take a few hits in return. Champion’s speed conversion to power can lead to quite a few one hit kills & with knight’s 35% bonus to hp and reasonable defense, they can survive fairly well against physical attacks. If you are really hunting one hit kills, however; a higher speed first class choice might pair better with champion. This will reduce the unit’s bulk, so you’ll have to position more carefully. Anyone will do fine on this path.

Class: Barbarian to Berserker

Best Characters: Alexa

Aspects: Altum’s Descent

Weapons: Balanced

Barbarian to berserker is the speedy attacker route, albeit with lower defense. The 50% armor piercing is extremely useful against some of the heavy armor foes in the game & means barbarians can almost always do significant damage. Bloodlust scales power to insane levels (+75% cap) if you are willing to keep your berserker at 25% HP and play carefully with positioning/counter attacks. Altum’s Descent will leverage Alexa’s high strength growth to give her even more dodge and balanced weapons help preserve dodge.

Class: Defender to Sentinel

Best Characters: Fenton, Helena

Aspects: Jahno’s Stupor

Weapons: Accuracy

Defender to sentinel, no surprise, is the defensive specialist. Defender has one less move (5) than most classes, so make sure you have a plan for keeping them with the group if you pick this class. Defender is better at taking physical blows than magical while sentinel shores up the fortitude growth a bit. Defender’s 15% of defense going to all advanced stats helps mitigate the class’s horrible speed growth but the effect isn’t as noticeable for other advanced stats. Granting 20% defense bonus to adjacent units also can really help build a wall against physical foes.

An aspect like Jahno’s Stupor can make this unit take zero damage from most physical attacks and boost survival against magical ones. Fenton is a good choice for defender with high high defense growth and his accuracy will be less of an issue with a defensive class. Helena would be a more rounded mixed bulk defensive sentinel.

Class: Dragoon to Dragon Knight

Best Characters: Alexa, Helena, Benji, Any

Aspects: Darmena’s Kiss, Yl’undera’s Drift, Koeli’s Spirit(Helena), Zeltar’s Flight (Benji)

Weapons: Balanced, Accuracy as backup

Dragoon to Dragon Knight is the highly mobile fighter with lots of crit and flexibility (magic attacks) built in. Dragon knight is also a useful enemy phase class due to the high damage potential, decent bulk and the ability to counter both melee and ranged attacks. Darmena’s Kiss is recommended to boost their power & Alexa’s personal skill that boosts damage with movement makes her ideally suited for this path. Yl’undera’s Drift can be used situationally to convert magic to defense and fortitude (necessitates using melee weapons instead of fire magic).

Helena also makes a talented dragon knight: she can make excellent use of Koeli’s Spirit to swap fortitude to defense against physical foes & use another aspect like Darmena’s Kiss for offense.

Benji makes incredible use of Zeltar’s Flight on this path with his massive strength growth and paltry speed. This enables him to double most enemies and still do huge magic damage with balanced weapon at the small cost of destroying the damage for critical and accuracy weapons.

Other Builds

Class: Barbarian to Champion

Best Characters: Alexa

Aspects: Altum’s Descent

Weapons: Balanced (single upgrade only). Accuracy as backup

Rather than doubling with high speed, this character relies on ignoring half of the enemy’s defense (barbarian) and speed conversion to power for 1 hit kills (champion). A light weapon will give more power than you get by upgrading & even upgrading balanced weapon more than once actually reduces damage.

Alexa has the best speed and dex growths, so she is the pick for this build. She has a 90% speed growth when taking barbarian & will still have a 55% growth as a champion. This character will primarily be a player phase character for one hit kills, but she will also be able to dodge some blows if exposed to attack and Alexa will have defense growths of 55% and 75% so she can survive some hits.

Class: Defender to Champion

Best Characters: Benji, Fenton, Irving

Aspects: Zeltar’s Flight

Weapons: Balanced (single upgrade only). Accuracy as backup

This champion build balances damage and physical bulk and relies heavily on Zeltar’s Flight to swap strength to speed to maximize the 2.5x speed bonus. Benji has the best strength, so he will get the largest bonus for swapping it to speed (50 to 10). Benji’s strength growth as defender (80%) and champion (95%) will actually result in a higher bonus than from Alexa’s speed in the barbarian version, but this build will still do less damage without the 50% armor penetration.

Benji’s defense growths of 90% and 65% will result in a physical tank that is topped only by a sentinel or inquisitor/guardian build. So this character can be used well on enemy phase and will even survive a few magical attacks.

This build really needs Zeltar’s Flight for offense, so if you already have that planned for another build or want to make two champions, it’s best to only make one defender/champion.

Class: Dragoon to Champion

Best Characters: Alexa, Irving

Aspects: Jahno’s Stupor

Weapons: Balanced (single upgrade only). Accuracy as backup

Dragoon has better speed growth than any tier 2 warrior class besides barbarian & with it’s balanced defenses, Alexa will be able to take more blows than the barbarian version. The damage potential is a bit lower without the 50% armor penetration, but often enough to 1 hit kill anyway and it does have a much higher critical hit chance with dragoon’s passives.

Jahno’s Stupor increases mixed bulk even further, though on normal, Alexa might dodge enough that you prefer to avoid nerfing that and use an 80% magic reduction aspect instead.
