All of the fighter skills and many of the specialist skills are weapon based, so when your Barbarian or Ninja are dishing out 300-400% Weapon damage those bonuses are all similarly multiplied, and are again multiplied by another 100% on criticals. "Spell Damage +5% per level" - up to +25%. The biggest damage dealers, the Ninja and Barbarian, built well and strong with the Criticals (and the Druid what with the two bear attacks per turn - so long as he can keep the frenzy up), are going to be delivering a punishing 300-400 damage each turn. "Solid" ones provide a good solid benefit. While this is all a little sad, it makes sense, as the specialists are nearly defined by sacrificing damage at the expense of the special qualities of their skills and overall greater versatility. Which is why Confuse seemed like a good idea be able to inflict regularly, because it's dangerous for your team when they get confused by the enemy. For a first run through, i find starting with jock dwarf warrior and lab rat human mage, followed by a cheerldr elf thief, rocker dwarf pally, and a hipster human clr a nice starting point. Part of his problem is that, along with the Thief, he's an Initiative specialist. About half the time before that, and by committing to this you're not as strong or tough as, well, you aught to be. A selection of great games, from modern hits to all-time classics, that you really shouldn't miss.

Digital Deluxe Edition The Deluxiest Edition of Knights of Pen & Paper 2 includes the following bonus items and expansions:. "Enemies take 20% extra damage from skills they are vulnerable to per arcade level" - Going to +100% or basically dealing 300% damage with specific skills against specific monsters, a 50% increase in efficiency is not bad at all and can easily be used in some specific battles where you have difficulties. And the more likely scenario is that you're slightly hurt, and just use it once to come back at almost full strength. As boring as the Paladin is, seeing as this is the only build of the Paladin worth playing, there is simply no substitute for spamming Weakness all the time. 1. This also translates to 224 overall damage, and that's pretty darn good. In fairness though it does have the bonus of not using up a feather if your player gets killed over and over in the same battle, which he well might as he's always coming back with low health. Knights of Pen & Paper II - IGN The buy it option comes in the form of mushrooms you can find in every shop, and that some monsters drop when slain. I personally value it less just because other choices for Shelves are better. But let's say 750 each turn. Mondo groovy. I'm not that obsessed with this game.). Better off just giving your Cleric the Stun immunity item if this is important to you. Knights of Pen and Paper 2 let me play a Hipster Dwarf Paladin But that ability, that beautiful ability, which lets him ignore the armor penalties on your energy. Because of the aforementioned dispersal of damage you'll mostly be encountering, even just getting this to level 3 (10 heal) is enough to pretty much carry you through about level 15 or so. The third archetype. But then there's Dragons, which must have a pet peeve about Warlocks, because you can't resurrect around them. So this is good, but not great like Touch of Blight or Frostbite, and certainly nowhere near SAKA like Lightning. One of my favorite things about this skill is that it's, finally, another row-affecting skill, to compliment the Warrior and Mage skills. I mean, ivy! And that Ninja with maxed Shadow Chain, Vanish and Black Arts is going to make the Ninja in the Maximum Carnage Party look like an underachiever. opinion) attached. All good. At best this will give your Ranger +16 Initiative (just like the Thief's Backstab), and since no other skill (but Backstab) and few items give a boost to Initiative, this will mean he'll pretty much always be one of the first 3 to attack. The idea, I think, is that if the Thief strikes first she'll be sure to get that bonus, which is true as far as that goes. And specifically because the Monk is a low energy user. The conditions that are consistently annoying are Confuse and Stun and Rage. That and, they raised the price of mushrooms from 50 to 75 gold in the last update. Even leveled to 24, the skill only does 56 to the target, and no direct damage to the group. Thing is, unlike the other two stunning skills, the Warrior's pommel and the Ninja's bomb, the stun is kind of just a bonus to the excellent damage you'll get out of this, especially if you boost it with Arcane Flow (for an unparalleled grand total of 168 Damage). Therefore the best damage (136 maxed) magic is going to do to a single target in this game. So you get to know the baddies better by slaughtering them in large numbers. Okay, so 1 point for Body and 2 for Senses. Remember that Paladin skill that causes Weakness? That's the glass half full perspective. Just to say though that the natural compliment to this is Backstab. If Critical and Initiative are what you're going for, ain't nothin' better. The game, for the most part, is a parody of the popular tabletop RPGs of the 80s. This fixes that and, now that I see it in action on a regular basis, I'm kind of sorry I complained. But not really. Otherwise, it's up to you, but for my money I'd put my points in the other skills. Start with a good tank: A Warrior has amazing regeneration abilities, as well as decent . So yeah, I'd definitely take Stun over Confuse, or risk whatever you get with the Warlock, over this skill. All Reviews: It does add a layer to your strategy, but a restrictive one (limiting who you should attack to those behind you in the turn order). So ultimately this isn't really a factor. There's no real tactical benefit here, it just mitigates the least enjoyable aspect of traveling around Paperos. But in either case, you'd be better off just damaging the enemy to get the fight over with - protect your peeps through offense. Which can be helpful with the low level enemies. The Ninja will always have at least decent initiative, so you're likely to be one of the first to strike, and it's not uncommon to go through a regular battle this way without the beasties getting even one shot off. In addition to just being a general all around challenge, you get to see what a Druid with 3 skills plays like, or just how badass the Barbarian can get with points in all of his skills. Now it's SAKA if you max it out and combine it with the Shadow Chain skill. Except that scenario is rare. So the upshot is: mushrooms are a shortcut to level up quick at the beginning, in particular - or rather, only - if you don't want to hang around slaying extra cave bats. At level 12 you kill 5 Rat Traps, and you'll barely even notice the increase on that little yellow XP line. And if you're building your team around the Knight, they can all be focusing on max damage without having to worry too much about taking hits. That said, most classes have a single target high damage attack, a group target lower damage attack, and then other stuff (that makes them unique). So if everyone else takes cover, your Threat could be 5 but it would still be 100%. A Weapon Rack - which is, unlike a Rug, an acceptably cool item to build your team around. Other casters in this game will outshine him in both individual and group damage, but his passive skill is as deadly as passivity gets. This section is created by Ghost381 and includes various team builds for different types of battles. In practice they kind of all fall flat, except for the last two - the group skill in particular. That is right, Knights of Pen & Paper 2 has gone completely free. Don't let the 20 extra MP fool you, this is your specialist class. 3. Knights of Pen & Paper 2 Deluxiest Edition Party Setup And for our final entry, a welcome third lady friend. I know it's a lot of work and it's always good to read from another lover of the game. Someone needs to be the Hipster for the Weapon and Armor goodness, and the Cleric is the one who suffers least from 1 point in each Attribute, especially as a Human. Basically, this table is the only way to make charms a real part of your game. If you do one of those mid-size teams, let me know how it works out. All in all, not worth it, unless you do a special group with everyone focusing on single attacks. Still considering the other alternatives is perhaps the most useless one in here. This guide is about strategy, so it's assumed you've come here because you're halfway through your first play-through or starting your second and you want to know how different it would have been if you'd had your Ninja be a Dwarf or a Goth or leveled different skills. That said, the primary difference is that all gold, damage, health and energy values have (inexplicably) been multiplied by 20. Alternatively, for the former, you could still be a Human Lab Rat, but level Backstab along with this for the Initiative boost (and a basic attack that's actually worth something if you're the first one to hit them), so that you're nearly always the first to strike. You've already had a taste of my Goth hate, so no surprises coming. . If you do get hit, by a group attack like Lightning or something, you waste a turn switching the skill on again, and that can be annoying. Now, the best setup possible for a good game and a great boss battle is the Paladin, Cleric, Mage, Ninja, and Warrior (this in perspective of free to play, I also have issues using the Barbarian so I dont personally like it due to the rage effect). Well, this is what you need to do that. Feel better! You're just never going to use it. Lightning. So if you complete a particular side quest at level 10, you will gain half a level's worth of XP, which is (and I'm just making this number up for the example) 1'000XP. Which is 416 points of damage in one go, and the only other skill that consistently gets up in to those numbers is Barrage of Knives. But it's a good choice for the game throughout as you'll be selling most of the stuff you stumble upon and, in particular, your old weapons and armor. A few (too many) of them fall into my special category: "Why In The Name Of Glorfindel's Sword?!" It will be up to Rodgers, who has to decide if he wants to . The AI in this game is not clever (or perhaps just not ruthless) enough to focus all damage on one character to wipe them out (which is what you'll mostly be doing to the enemy). The Smoke Bomb is the focus here, as it'll cripple the opposing forces, often before they get their first hit off - if they even get a hit off. It's more like a spell (although sadly not improved by spell damage boosters). Well, almost, we'll get in to that. But it's actually twice as good. The Athletic | Mar 2. More concretely, there's a series of quests later on (at lvl 25) that involve filling out the Bestiary, up at the Laboratory, which leads to some fairly challenging group boss fights (and you'll need that Doppelganger entry filled to get the second and third fights), so there's that. He's essentially a different kind of Mage, focusing largely on damage (but more ineffectually), with one protective skill just to mix it up and the super cool seeming ability to move monsters around the battlefield at will. Wound 1, Burn 24 - the number denoting the base damage it causes each turn the affliction lasts. An important thing to note is that you can interrupt your game at any point (even in the middle of a battle if you don't mind starting that fight over) to switch your bonuses around. This by far the best way to restore MP. But after that, your options are few: there's one weapon you have to craft (with a static +3 spell damage bonus), one (unique) robe (+2 spell damage), and then an item you can purchase (for +2) and one unique item (for +3). Just the bow, no crossbow, longbow, composite bow or anything. Except, of course, for the "1 point ward" build - which makes everything hunky dory, because then the toughness issue isn't an issue when you can ward yourself from all damage over half the time. Glorious Weakness is the answer. So here's a cool one that can be devastating with the right build. But even if you add all that bonus-ing up, including the Arcane Flow, that's a +46 damage bonus. About this game. With the Bookworm, again just following quest to quest, most of them will be complete. But if your team is focusing on group damage skills, bringing the Hunter with this is still a natural fit. You just can't find good evil help these days. Anger Management is the key here, bringing his, well, just about everything up by massive amounts. So the Knight, for example, who benefits most from good armor, would have almost only half his MP if you pair him with any other player. Why is that? - Level up and get your hands on more gold to unlock epic items and . A game about a game. This game - is awesome! The fact that you can hit the back row with this as well is just sweet delicious blood-flavored icing on your death-dealing cake. 20 October 2015 - 12:57:00 UTC (8 years ago) Store Hub PCGW Patches. The only exception is if this is one of your first characters on your first play-through. So, again, why the hate, devs? Druid, Mage, Ninja, Paladin, and Cleric. Remember that Thief's Grappling Hook thing, that I thought was so cool it was worthy of a personal note that it was great just for me? And, remember, when you enrage your max HP goes up astronomically. Lastly, increasing your Body attribute (through rings and other trinkets), also boosts your Damage, which is then again an amplified bonus with all the skills and criticals and whatnot. Nevertheless, it's a choice, you need to make it, so let me break it down, with the obligatory rating (i.e. If the condition sticks that's 154 damage for the hit, which is better than any other spell (which this is), but if you do that this is all the Hunter is good for. "Consumable restore +15% more health and energy per level" - up to +75%. I've tried a few games and I always start with Jock/Warrior/Dwarf and Lab Rat/Elf/Mage. If only you could level up almost every couple quests instead of every five or six. If you use it on your big scary fighter, they should already have high Threat and decent to great Damage Reduction. At the end of the game. Vines on their heads, vines squeezing the life out of enemies, and I suspect a heavy dose of the dried vine weed pipe at the end of a hard day battling evil the renewable green way. Okay, it's not really anything like that skill - not sure why I mentioned it. Max the knives before anything else, although you could take the time to put 1 point in Stealth so you don't get hit more than once in a turn. Well, I mean that's technically true, but actually more of a gimmick. Build your Druid with Animal Companion and either Feral Mauling or Grappling Vines as your two maxing skills, but put just one point here for the ward. But really you only need to get this skill up to mid-level to take advantage of this magical healing loophole. Now all this makes Bulwark totally at home in the SAKA realm already, but just to make it even better, he also regenerates up to 9 Health and Energy for everyone else each time this is used. This big ass ethereal green bear-shaped cloak thing envelops the Druid, he becomes super strong and angry. So, you're one of those eh? Kind of like the Druid, the Psion has some truly original skills that look and act cool, but they are ultimately less impressive in practice than in theory. In order of severity: 1 - Perhaps English is not your first language, or perhaps something else, but I would have appreciated a little more use of pronouns and adjectives. If you use it on your weak little Warlock, yes, okay, he'll take less damage from the hit, but still, he got hit. Without the Bookworm it takes 28 kills to learn all there is to know about a beast. Really, most of the fun of replaying the game is mixing and matching and having fun with it and experimenting. And lo! They might bop you on the way out with a single hit, then down a potion or two if you need to and go back into the same room. Oh the mysterious Warlock! THE MISSISSIPPI SCHEME. You're basing your decision on what, exactly, can that new Warlock you just unlocked do. You can also, perfectly validly, spread your skill points out evenly among all of the Mage's skills. So this one is just, well, absurd. This is, damage-wise, the same as the Mage's Lightning at 104 damage max. All of your classes are going to be able to max out 2 skills by the end of a game. With a Jock Dwarf your MP will be almost only half of your HP, but if you go with a Rocker Human, they'll be almost equal - so just 1 point in this and then you've come close do doubling the damage you can take, and in the process maybe get one or several free attacks. If you don't have one or more skills in your team that need the Go Set, take this instead. At what point are skills maxed out? All rights reserved. Soon enough this gelatinous cube shows up, literally sucks the weapons off of our Ranger and Fighter and starts digesting them (the weapons, not the warriors - yet), when I decide it's time to bring out the big guns. On the other hand, not using abilities is most of the times counter-productive despite the higher damage. The Ninja is still the king of Criticals though, and you're about to find out why. If you commit fully to this idea, you can make all your other players low Threat casters and specialists and also give them weak non-Threatening weapons so that after casting this once the Knight's threat is at about 85%, and a second time brings it to 95%. Second thing: "Does this mean I have a Thief who can't actually Backstab?" I am not sure that the surfer on the barbarian would be a wise choice, however. Point made. In Knights of Pen and Paper 2, you can enchant weapons in crafting with scrolls and with charms. Both the Warlock and Mage max out at 136 in the single damage category, and they all inflict Conditions in their own way so, really, I don't get it. At level 40, that's about 40 x 32 (1280) more potential HP. Your only weakness then is Vanish, which will keep you at 1 Threat no matter how big of a stick you carry, until you get hit that is. Unfortunately, despite looking cool and having some genuinely groovy out-of-the-box-thinking kind of skills, kind of like the Hunter this guy is not terribly efficient unless you use him just right. Which it was. The answers are: Yes, no, and kind of. Both have their minor advantages, but I'd go with the Exchange Student for the extra HP from the Body point. In fact, if you don't have that Cleric in your party constantly refilling your MP, you're never gonna really feel like you have enough MP (unless you happen to be a juju-swapping Monk) - especially in dungeons. "When able, basic attacks expend 4% Energy to deal 4% extra damage per level" - up to 20%.
