Even better than Rupture Tendons is the Sawtooth Knife skill. This skill can be grabbed after a player reaches level four from Hilde in Fort Joy. What makes this skill great is that it deals direct damage to the enemy's health bar without needing to go through physical armor. If the enemy happens to not have physical armor , this skill causes them to bleed for three turns. Like many of the other skills, this one can backs

Players who get cursed cannot be healed anymore. Rather, healing ends up hurting them and can even get them killed. This will cause players to have to waste action points to bless each ally that is caught in the sm

While it’s perfectly possible to kill major NPCs and progress throughout the game, it helps to remember that NPCs take their dialogue seriously. As such, when an NPC makes another NPC feel like a major character in the story, chances are they’re right. And killing certain characters in Original Sin 2 can cut specific storylines entirely, with the SLG game Cheats prompting players when it’s too late. Unless it’s a player’s second or third playthrough, they shouldn’t kill NPCs haphazar

Possibly the best skill to use on a single enemy from the Scoundrel tree is Terrifying Cruelty. This skill can inflict two different status effects on the enemy hit by it, Terrified and Bleeding. Bleeding will cause damage over time for two turns and Terrified will cause the enemy to run away in fear. On top of that, this skill deals one hundred and ten percent damage to the enemy and can backstab. The only downside to this skill is that it costs three action points to use and has a four turn coold

Rupture Tendons is a great skill for players to obtain as soon as they can. It is a great skill to use against boss enemies to take them down a peg. This skill is great for two reasons. One, it deals one hundred percent damage to the enemy and can backstab. Two, it causes the enemy to take damage whenever they decide to move. Setting up a situation where the enemy will have to move after using this skill will cause them to receive piercing damage with each step. Ruptured Tendons only lasts for two turns, but it is worth

The Scoundrel tree is one of the most tempting to use in Divinity: Original Sin 2 . Scoundrels focus on hiding in the shadows. They sneak across the battlefield undetected and assault their enemies with lethal backstabs. Some players may have always been interested in what a Scoundrel can do and some players may be new to the g

The atrophy status effect makes the enemy rely on magical ability because it takes away their ability to use their weapon and any physical attack abilities. Atrophy is set for two turns. This skill is another that can be bought from Papa Thrash in Driftw

Winter Blast is another skill that players can grab early. It can be grabbed when players get to Fort Joy and should be bought whenever they have the available gold. This skill damages enemies and also causes the chilled status eff

Say a player decides to branch into the Aerothurge tree and they already have some Necromancy. Vacuum Aura is a great skill to pick up so a player can get help with those pesky enemy skills. This skill deals air damage to enemies within an area and sets an aura on the player that causes silence and suffocat

When caught in the fray of battle it can be hard to catch a break to heal. In most battle situations there will be an enemy or two that stand in the distance and attack from afar. Nether Swap is a useful skill to help escape the battle and get some much-needed healing. Plus, most of the skills listed so far are for a ranged character. This skill lets the player swap places with another character on the battlefield. That can be friend or foe. It can also be used to swap an ally with someone as w

How do they work? What skill do you possibly choose to complement a skeleton? After all, traditional healing won't work, and blessing them will make them die fast. Undead characters may seem cool, but they take a bit of finagl

The Harbinger proves that Scoundrel, Warfare, and Huntsman-based builds still work like a charm against seemingly strong bosses. Aside from physical attacks working normally against the Harbinger's Physical Armor, non-Fire/Poison attacks seem to pick off its Magical Armor as w

It’s important to remember that the Harbinger itself has immunities towards Fire, Poison, and Decaying, as well as 20-percent Water Resistance. Moreover, Dead Magisters have 200-percent Resistance (meaning, they can heal) from Poison. On the get-go, these statuses mean players can’t rely on good ol’ burst Spellcasters in this bat

For those who don't know, chilled causes a decrease in movement speed and dodging. It also causes a decrease in water and air resistance. In other words, enemies who use the Hydrosophist skill tree will deal more damage to chilled all

Backlash is one of the most essential skills for any Scoundrel build. It can be chosen when creating a new character or when the player reaches Fort Joy. This skill teleports the player who uses it behind the enemy and backstabs them at the same time. One of the best parts about this perk is the low action point cost. This skill only costs one action point. The downside is that it has a 3 turn cooldown, so players will have to rely on other means to get behind other enemies. That's where the other skills come
