I shy away from claiming that there are any “auto includes” in any given Banner Saga 2 party. When Spearmen like Tryg kill someone and gain a point of Willpower, adjacent allies will also gain a point of Willpower thanks to Embolden. Almost every Archer has Puncture, for example, which adds strength to their attack based on the armor lost from their target – so long as they stand still. Play to Your PassivesĪlong the same lines, each of your character classes host individual passive abilities that shouldn’t be ignored. Warriors with a shield, like Mogun and Hogun, have more defensive capability than ones with spears, like Folka or Tryggvi, who have longer melee ranges. Yrsa and Oddleif are both ranged attackers, but Yrsa’s Slag and Burn ability has a completely different utility than Oddleif’s Rain of Arrows. But that’s just the tip of the iceberg.Įach of your characters have unique abilities outside of standard attack functions. This can be as simple as diversifying your party roles – adding a good mix of Varl, warriors, and archers.
It may be possible to brute force your way to victory during some of the early battles in Banner Saga 2, but as more dangerous enemy types and more restrictive scenarios present themselves, a dynamic set of tactical options will be necessary. In combat, though, there are a couple of tips that can help keep the fight in your favor. When forging across the continent to escape the Dredge, there isn’t much that can help you outside of trusting your gut. Not only does it test your patience and leadership skills outside of battle, but it consistently tests your mettle in the heat of its tense combat.
The Banner Saga 2, the bloody and beautiful sequel to the 2014 cult hit, is a challenging game.
