Divinity: Original Sin 2 - Metamorph Class Guide (Tips & Tricks)

While the Rogue does not typically excel in the center of a brawl, they are incredibly adept at picking targets and isolating them. Try to focus down on enemies in isolation and those on the fringes, ideally disengaging and moving away from larger clusters of foes after the damage is done. Given the Scoundrel skills that allow cloaked teleportation ability, it is especially helpful to target ranged combatants; the worst-case scenario is that they are forced to displace, sometimes costing the opportunity to shoot at the party, the best is that a threat has been completely elimina

Choosing the Metamorph as a preset Origin will also elevate the build’s penchant for unique attacks through the Polymorph Skill School. Opportunist (Talent) now gives the Lizard Metamorph the chance to always attack enemies trying to get out of their melee range. Not only that, they can rush opponents for a quick attack (Bull Horns, Swen Vincke Polymorph 1), hinder their movement with a close-ranged attack (Tentacle Lash, Polymorph 1), and even transform bosses into poultry (Chicken Claw, Polymorph

With this in mind, the only other skills that may work well with these are Summoning, Geomancy, or possibly Hydrosophist if the player wants this character to fill the role of healer too. Summoning and Geomancy can deal both physical and magical damage depending on the skill. Hydrosophist can only really be used for healing and magical damage. Here are the best options in these skill lines for an Inquisi

Medusa Head (2 Polymorph): Deals Earth damage around you and will cause Petrify on enemies with no Magical armor. Nice if other party members deal Magic damage, but might not be as useful if the team focuses on Physical damage. Also cannot be used with Bullho

Additionally, the much-contested Journal received a rework. Instead of having everything in a single tab, the Journal now has different parts - dividing major questlines and side stories. Moreover, Larian mentioned having added or rewritten "more than 150,000" words of text. As such, this factor potentially changes or adds many things to help tell a more cohesive sto

Conjure Incarnate - Summon a creature that will match the element of the ground they are cast out of. The element will affect what type of damage they deal and what abilities they have access too. Incarnate will last until killed or combat ends. Once the player character reaches level 10 in summoning they will summon a giant Incarnate Champion instead that deals 50% more dam

Due to this class being entirely based around dealing physical damage, the player will likely want to stick to that type of damage base when looking at new skills. This is because when a player deals magically based damage instead they are attacking a different shield. Usually, the best choice to go up against enemies in Act I and II is to keep all the character's damage of the same type to all fight the same shield base. Only later on will the players need to diversify their dam

Contrary to the Scoundrel, the Warfare Skill Tree relies on fighting enemies head-on. Their Skills will have them hit enemies as hard as possible until they fall - perfect for tanks and other direct damage dealers. Unlike other Skill Trees, Warfare Skills rely heavily on the Knocked Down and Crippled status to stop enemies from moving. They also have buffs that grant Enraged, Deflecting, and Thick of the Fi

Aside from accessibility, Larian Studios also took the time to tie up some loose ends in Original Sin 2 's Switch iteration. For instance, the game now focuses on being more straightforward with their quest and gear descriptions . This element is unlike the original game's more in-depth approach. While gamers might say this "ruins" some of the flavor of the game, it does make the Switch version more free-flow

Scoundrel is a skill-based around stealth attacks. These skills are where the player can decide whether their Shadowblade will be a ranged or melee fighter. Choosing this skill line will require the character to almost always use daggers, but can be used as a projectile or melee weapon. With skills from Backlash to Wind-Up Toy, Scoundrel is the Shadowblade's integral skill l

When divvying out Attribute points, it is wise to initially prioritize Finesse and Constitution. Finesse is the governing ability of the Scoundrel skill tree, the central core abilities that make the Rogue effective, as well as boosting the damage on the lighter Finesse-based weapons that are best suited to the class. Constitution will be especially helpful to offset the lesser protection offered by light armor - while it should not be the key stat for the class, having a solid health pool to fall back on can buy the character enough time to get out of danger. Wits is also worth dropping a few points into to amplify the already impressive critical damage of the Rogues, as well as ensuring an early initiative positioning to keep mobile. Strength, while not exceptionally relevant, can be helpful to beef up for some expanded carry capacity and the ability to get some heavier weapons. While heavy armor will never be particularly useful for the class, it does not hurt to make sure that the player can always access the finest light armor and stand up or themself in a head-on confl
