Archetypes :
Though you will encounter many different enemies and factions, there are combat roles that are common to all groups. Categories called archetypes define those roles, from the humble front line standard trooper to the inspiring commander, and establish the further advantages assigned to them. Weapons and abilities also determine the tactical behavior of such archetypes.
[Trooper]
The standard warrior archetype picks a target on the battlefield and rushes to engage directly in melee assault. This broad category also covers creatures with natural weapons, such as spiders and the mabari. Easily affected by all effects, physical or magical.
---Traits---
None
---Abilities---
None
[Trooper - Weapon and Shield]
Troopers with skills in Sword and Shield will benefit from increased resistance to physical attacks, but they are weaker against magic. They adopt the same behavior as basic Troopers.
---Traits---
Medium armor and defense bonuses; Weak magic resistance
---Abilities---
None
[Trooper - Two-Handed Weapons]
This soldier has been designed as a damage-dealer, a shock troop who inflicts bigger hits but is less adept at dodging blows. Slow two-handed weapon strikes can be avoided simply by moving your character clear of the attacking enemy.
---Traits---
Medium damage and attack bonuses; Weak defense
---Abilities---
None
[Trooper - Dual Weapons]
Dual-wielding troopers increase their damage per second with a rapid flurry of attacks. Only lightly armored for speed, they take more damage from successful hits.
---Traits---
Moderate damage and attack bonuses; Weak armor
---Abilities---
None
[Trooper - Archery]
This archetype covers all physical ranged attackers and marks a change in tactics to match the weapon. Archers will advance into range and no further, keeping their distance and firing missiles in support of other troopers. They are weak against melee attackers, but heavier projectiles can still pack enough punch to cause Knockback. Archers will happily pick off weak when staying beyond range of your tank’s Taunts and threat generation.
---Traits---
Moderate damage and attack bonuses; Weak armor
---Abilities---
Knockback - In melee range, Archers use a general knockback to create space as a defensive maneuver. No damage.
Sureshot - The archer will drop to one knee and focus intently on one target so as to not miss. The archer can not be knocked down or interrupted during this action.
[Trooper - Staff]
Mages follow similar rules to archers in their preference for ranged attacks, but not all spells demand clear line of sight and hiding in cover may not protect you from Area of Effect(AoE) splash damage. Employing direct assault to counter those resistances, rogue stealth attacks and battlefield teleportation skills can swiftly disrupt an enemy’s magical rearguard. As Mages typically gain a resistance to spirit damage, they suffer from a lack of fortitude and can be interrupted or knocked back by a medium to strong attack.
---Traits---
Moderate damage bonus, Moderate magic resistance bonus, Weak armor
---Abilities---
None
[Assassin]
This specialist can wreak havoc and confusion during even a modest skirmish. Every assassin is capable of invisible movement through stealth and a Disengage ability, which returns them to stealth after knocking their enemies back a short distance. Between those events, they have two special attacks they can deliver from hiding. The announcing backstab inflicts an extreme amount of damage. The second stealth attack inflicts additional damage over time, of a type determined by the group or faction. Even when unseen, assassins have physical presence and can trigger protective glyphs or receive damage or force from Area of Effect magic.
---Traits---
Medium attack bonus, Weak armor and health
---Abilities---
Stealth - Invisible movement; duration 10 seconds or first interaction action.
Backstab - extreme amount of damage from stealth. (100% Critical Strike Chance) This will also steal Health Poultices from your inventory which the Assassin can use.
Disengage - Stealth after knocking their enemies back a short distance.
Poison - After backstabbing an opponent, the Assassin can deal a second slash that temporarily poisons the victim. For resistance purposes, this poison inflicts nature damage over time.
Use of Potions
[Bruiser]
The bruiser archetype is essentially a sponge for damage. It cannot dodge, with successful hits being easy to score, but high armor reduces even elementally maximized damage taken. While your companions are chipping mere slivers from its mighty health bar, the bruiser is dishing out pain with unwelcome generosity. Keep the bruiser occupied by one tank character, and use any functional freezing or halting spell to slow its attack rate and grant breathing space. Petrify can halt any enemy, but also acts as further armor on the target. Settling in for the long haul against any creature with a large health bar is suggested, one should first remove all lesser ranks from the battlefield to prevent the stray companion from being overwhelmed.
---Traits---
Very high damage, Medium attack bonus, Moderate armor bonus, Very weak defense
---Abilities---
General abilities between Bruisers will vary.
For a clear example see Ogre in the lists below.
[Commander]
The commander archetype not only presents a tough fight individually, but also plays a supporting role as well as direct command of its allies that greatly increases the peril posed by an opposing force. They can extend an aura over the battlefield, healing and conferring specific benefits on their allies. This archetype is also capable of self-defensive abilities and boasts a powerful medium-to-long range debilitation spell or Area of Effect artillery.
The aura appears as a halo around the commander's allies’ feet, though it may be lifted temporarily if the commander is stunned or incapacitated. This is one way to turn off the buff they provide for their subordinate ranks. Another would be to kill them outright. These auras vary and are specific to the faction of the Commander.
---Traits---
Immune to Silence; High armor and fortitude
---Abilities---
Aura of X - Any number of specific effects can be relayed by this aura to the commander's allies.
Field of Effect - From this single ability multiple effect may be employed by the different types of commanders you will encounter. From the Mass Pull of a Revanent, to the grenade of a human commander which can slow, damage, and interrupt anyone in a small area all in a single attack.
Faction Specific Incapacitation - Generally a single target stun.
Command - the commander can order his surrounding allies to focus on a single target.
Use of Potions
[Devastator]
Devastators are magical artillery units, possessing a strong “nuke” spell that will swiftly explain the archetype’s name unless interrupted. Devastators deploy a ranged Area of Effect(AoE) spell, a defensive spell and a teleport. The status effects and elemental affinities vary with the devastator’s group or faction. Such enemies are a top priority for
elimination and, despite their weaknesses, they often maintain a stiff challenge for any party seeking speedy removal. Once the devastator have used its teleport (which can take it to a number of pre-determined points on the map), it cannot do so again until the cooldown period expires.
---Traits---
Very weak health and armor; Immense spell power
---Abilities---
Shield - Can be an offensive weapon in addition to the typical shield
Nuke - Varied applications, most often are AoE.
Teleport - Relocates the caster to any number of pre-determined locations, occasionally does not relocate caster
Faction Ability - Generally some form of heavy direct damage to a single target.
Use of Potions - Humanoid Races only.
[Boss]
This archetype offers no extra special abilities beyond additional toughness, resistance and immunity.
Of course, that’s enough to ruin an array of combat tactic set-ups.
Bosses will still be forced to attack a specific target, then kited around an area. Allowing companions to bring it down via ranged attacks.
---Traits---
Immunity to Knockdown, Immobilize, Enslavement and Paralyzed are gained.
---Abilities---
Unique additions to the standard set of abilities and tactics for that Archetype are gained.
[ArchBoss]
The toughest bosses test your staying power and party management.
---Traits---
Immune to Knockback, Knockdown, Immobile, Stun, Paralyzed, Immune to Enslavement, Sleep, Inevitable Death, and Explosive Death
---Abilities---
