Skills and statistic points | Character Sword Coast Legends Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

Each time you gain new experience level, your character and allies receive few skill points to distribute. Better skills usually require more points to be invested in them. Bonuses from such skills are worth investing more points in them. By doing so, you can gain the maximum level of a skill faster. Usually it is few times better than its regular version. When distributing points, you must have at least a basic plan. Most of all, remember that each character should fill a certain role in the party and be a supplement to other characters. The development plan can be applied to any type of skills, attacks, weakenings or interacting with the world. Below you will find an example plan of distributing skill points on high difficulty level:

Rogue - In case of rogue, start with developing the Search ability, it will help you in finding traps, hidden passages and secrets. It's a vital part of gathering gold in the game and because of that you can't afford to ignore it. After obtaining the maximum level of Search skill, invest in Hide skill. It will allow you to quickly eliminate enemies with a surprise attack that has great chance for critical hit. Next skills should be: Hidden Dagger - thanks to this one, abilities of elite enemies will load longer. This skill is very useful during hard battles. Endanger - a skill that deals large amounts of damage and greatly reduces resistance to slashing and piercing damage. You should use this ability on strong enemies that have great resistance, such as bosses and elite opponents. During this curse you should use the last skill - Deathstrike. Due to the long loading time of this skill, use it only against bosses and elite enemies. Combined with the Endanger curse and the hide, the character can kill enemies with a single critical hit. As for the statistics, in case of rogue you should develop dexterity and wisdom.

Cleric - In case of clerics, skills that regenerate the health of hurt allies are the most important ones. It's not the only, but the most important advantage of this character. Remember that during the battle you must position your clerics far from the frontline and from the center of the battle. It is important for cleric to avoid direct confrontation with enemies. First, focus on buying the maximum level of Healing Word, Prayer of Healing, Cure Wounds, Disciple of Light and Restoration skills. Once you buy few healing skills, you can focus on buffs for your team and curses used against opponents. When distributing the statistic points, focus on wisdom and constitution.

Fighter/Paladin - Warriors should be versatile. Not only should they deal damage, but also focus all incoming damage on themselves. They are qualified in controlling the whole battlefield by using various weakening attacks. Warriors are the core of your party. The cleric and warrior are making an inseparable pair and if one of them dies, the other will follow. Don't focus on damage, but on securing advantage on the battlefield when buying abilities for warrior. Most of all, focus on cries that enforce the team and weaken the enemies. Buy the skills that focus on controlling large territory instead of dealing damage to a single opponent. When distributing the statistics, focus mostly on strength and constitution.

Wizard - Wizard should be like warrior. This character deals quite high damage, but his most important trait is skills controlling and weakening enemies. When distributing points, buy paralyze, disorientation, speed reduction, sleep and other weaknesses that will allow you to avoid fighting the whole group of enemies at once. After removing some enemies from the battle, simply use the rogue to eliminate them before they can understand what is actually happening. The base statistics for wizard should be intelligence and charisma.
