Various questions, inlcudig Juggernaut, Exp points and Dmg.

[xpanta]

Hi,

I am in Ep.3 and still enjoying the game.

Here is my new list of questions.

1. Does juggernaut give more AP/MP/SP the higher the skill level? All of the three?
2. How Experience points are distributed? Kjartan almost always used to level up a bit faster than the others. Now it is Vraes (Ep.3). How is that?
3. Vraes has 16 Blades, 16 in Strength and +26 Dmg Bonus and 12 Holy Dmg, wielding a Broadsword (44-81). Kyera has 5 in Hammers and 6 in Strength. She also has 20 Ice Dmg, 20 Light Dmg and 16 Dmg Bonus using a Morningstar (61-134). In Ep.3 Kyera is doing more damage per hit (Vraes gest one more hit. So in total Vraes is making more damage). Does this make sense?

Chris.

Can't answer the first two. But for the third one, I'd recommend reading the combat mechanics. The skills increase chances to hit/parry, not damage. Hammers have the hugest damage, but also the widest damage range. Swords are generally more defensive, having a higher pay stat than the other melee weapons. Spears have high accuracy and high base damage.

I'm not as experienced as some of the other people on this board, they can probably provide more insight or correct me if I'm wrong.

I'll take a stab at these. The Devs can probably give better answers.

1) Yes, but at fixed increments. At levels 1, 4, 7 and 10 the bonuses increase, but not in between. I don't think the specific numbers are published anywhere though.

2) There is team experience, which is shown at the end of your turn and every character gains that much experience. There is also individual experience that is given by killing specific powerful enemies, such as bosses. In this case the hero that strikes the killing blow gains more, individual experience. It is likely you killed a boss or two with Vraes. It's also worth noting that it's not only bosses that give individual XP. I've noticed that Giant Rats and Shamans also give bonus indvidual xp. One thing to do is spread the boss kills around to get your characters to level up about the same time.

3) Blades and Strength have no impact on the amount of damage you do, only on your ability to hit. So it makes sense your above post that Kyera is doing more damage because she has a more powerful weapon (even with Vraes damage bonus added in) and more elemental damage. I'm guessing that you're playing on a lower difficulty level and/or using very powerful Dodge/Parry stripping curses to keep Kyera hitting. I know that at higher levels she would almost never successfully hit with those stats.

Hope that helps.
