Check out all available and recommended classes for Fane!
Last update: 09 March 2020
This page of the Divinity Original Sin 2 guide contains a detailed description of Fane, one of the heroes that can join your party. This section contains information regarding this character, available classes (and their descriptions) as well as recommended classes when choosing Fane as a main hero or a companion.
Fane is the second character and the only Undead that can join your team (provided that you didn't select this character as yours). He can be found on a small field located east from the beach. In this chapter, you can find information about the character itself, classes that are available to him (along with their descriptions) as well as a recommended class if you want to choose Fane as your main character or a companion.
Recommended classes for Fane
Fane works great as:
- Inquisitor - since this character is invulnerable to Bleeding and Poison effects, he is well-suited for fighting in the first line. The best class for that is Inquisitor which gives him access to Blood Sucker and Mosquito Swarm abilities - the first allows Fane to heal himself by absorbing a nearby pool of blood (which is created by him when he attacks an enemy) and the second ability heals him while hurting Fane's enemy.
- Rogue, Shadowblade, Wayfarer or Ranger - all of these classes focus on dealing damage at a cost of health which means that they can be quickly killed by an enemy. Play Dead ability is invaluable here - if there are any troubles you can activate it which makes an enemy lose their interest in Fane and then you can continue fighting in the next turn.
