Divinity: Original Sin 2 - Shadowblade Class Guide Tips Tricks

In this game, players are able to use a very fluid class system where their initial class doesn't have to stay within its original bounds.

Frost weapons increase the direct damage of Water weapons like staves and Teleportation methods wands. Most Hydrosophist related skills don’t have a great impact on weapon damage, so stacking Water damage can be hard. The Mystical and Power Frames seem to point towards a more supportive caster build that can move quickly, boost ally performance, and deals damage with a mix of spells, wands, or maybe even a one-handed sword. Consider piling on helpful Hydrosophist spells like Armor of Frost, Rain, Winter Blast, and Global Cool


Spider Legs (2 Polymorph): Fire off webs that prevent enemies from moving and grants you Haste if you step in them. The webs can also spread fire already laid out by yourself or an ally. A great control ability, but cannot be used at the same time as Spread Your Wi


Runes can be found throughout your adventure, either as treasure or from merchants. However, it can take time to gather up a collection this way. Instead, consider crafting some runes yourself. The supplies can be found all throughout Rivellon. Additionally, if you have access to the Lady Vengeance you can ask Han to fetch your items. As with most crafting, you may have to separate items into singles to avoid combination err


Players who have finished Divinity: Original Sin 2 multiple times may find the grind in each playthrough to be a bit too much to handle. Sometimes, players just want access to the fanciest toys without having to waste too much time trying to respec their build or ensuring that they are investing every point wis


Apotheosis (5 Polymorph): All other Source skills cost 0 Source for three turns. If you have the AP reserves to use other Source skills, this can be very game breaking. This can allow you to instantly use other skills like Skin Graft, Thick of the Fight, Dome of Protection (Custom Character), Demonic Stare (Red Prince), or Time W


Spread Your Wings (2 Polymorph): Allows you to fly nearby points. Keep in mind that if you try to fly over death fog (and aren’t Undead) you might still wind up dying. Good for movement, but cannot use Spider Legs at the same t

Masterwork weapons favor any character that is seeking to deals lots of Physical damage, particularly those that also deal Strength backed damage. Because the rune gives an increase to the base damage, it is more helpful on powerful two-handed weapons. This also applies to the armor slot: since heavy armor starts with more Physical armor a percentage increase is exponentially more valuable than on light armor or robes. For Mystical Frames, Wits is handy for everyone since it increases Initiative and Critical Chance. Constitution is mainly used to meet requirements for equipping shields. And the Memory boost is nice if you have a lot of skills you want to make use of at the same t

Such examples include capitalizing on an Elf’s extra movement potential and the Wayfarer’s expanded toolkit, as well as the Lizard’s elemental resistance and the Metamorph’s penchant for unique atta


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.

Circle of Suns (Ring): decide to kill Sadha inside the Arx Lizard Consulate (this may cause Red Prince to go hostile if he isn’t a main character). Gives a nice boost to Pyrokinetic and the Flaming Skin skill for f


As you explore Rivellon you may come across weapons and armor that have slots. These can be imbued with runes that can grant damage, elemental resistance, combat bonuses, and more. It is better to use rune slots as a supplement to strengthen your current build, rather than making a build revolving around runes. Still, if you like a piece of equipment you can always refurbish it into your most outstanding ge


All that being said, the player doesn't have to invest in any other skill lines outside of the two that are given in the base class.
