My Assastarion starts all of my fights for me, he’s a powerhouse!
Gloomstalker assassin action surge Durge with club of giant strength and titanstring bow is my solo honor mode build. Nuke an enemy and go invis with the Durge cape, drop out of combat and repeat. You can take out the whole game with this strat. I like running either halfling or deep gnome since they get stealth advantage and good saving throws.
No matter how strong he is, I can never get over how insufferable his personality and voice are
All I ever got from him was super rapey vibes. Nothing charming about that slimeball from my perspective.
And he feigns elegance, but it never struck me as authentic. Just a manipulation technique.
I don’t want to spoil anything, but if you decide that his back story has twisted him into a vengeful madman, you can uhh…get pretty crazy powerful with him late game.
I didn’t even use him for that. I did that part myself :)
You really missed out then. There are some amazing builds for Astarion.
Really, because he’s like one of my main damage dealers, especially if I start the combat. That’s like 4 attacks in a row, and at least 1 of them is gonna crit, and 2 of them are sneak attacks.
