However, here you need to use it just to reset your Crusader/Man-At-Arms, and in turn you get a -20% DMG penalty and a lone Riposte in the backline without guarding, and you practically eliminate Bulwark of Faith and Retribution from your options. Duelist's Advance's Riposte is active for two turns, meaning you only need to use the skill every other turn. To be honest, I'm not sure how well Highwayman works in that setup. if there's a straggler with a few leftover HP that you really need to get rid of right now, I guess it's an option. Holy Lance and Iron Swan are great here, Vestal and Highwayman less so, and bringing a Leper for Intimidate. I'm also a bit surprised, because if you want to deal with the backline as efficiently as possible, this doesn't quite compute. Those are cool parties, but there are many neat party compositions in the game. Nerfed!Ĭrusader can hit pos 3&4 with Holy lance, while dancing with the HWM.Īfter pos 3&4 are dealt with you can easily kill pos 1&2 which are just high life/protection, low damage. Man-at-Arms could stun pos 3 while dancing with the HWM. Highwayman could have hit pos 3&4 with Duelist Advance. Vestal + Highwayman + Crusader + Hellion/Leper Vestal + Highwayman + Man-at-Arms + Hellion/Leper I wouldn't call that a dancing party, but it's an option. Since you like Highwayman you can also pair her up with him, both in the frontline. I've not found a way so far to really utilize her in a dancing setup, but I think it should be possible. The pseudo-dancing Vestal ist just a fun option to play her.Īntiquarian less so, but there is Get Down and afair many of her skills work from a multitude of ranks. Now arguably this is unnecessary, since you'd usually just put her in the backline or rank 2, give her profane/sacred scroll, and she'd be perfectly fine - probably even more effective for less work. a Shieldbreaker in a way that manipulates Vestal position between 2 and 3, depending on what you need out of your Vestal skillset atm. Vestal herself never dances, but you can play e.g.

The CC trinket set adds bonuses to both and a dancing party is the way to capitalize. As you know there's basically two vestal setups, backline and rank 2.

She's not a dancer herself, but can work very nicely in dancing parties. MadalinStroe: How are the Vestal and Antiquarian dancing characters? Unless you mean the Vestal skipping his heals, only to move back a position.
