The world of Dungeons & Dragons: Dark Alliance is one that is full of adventure and excitement. Those who hope to see all of it though will need to be very prepared for the journey ahead of them. Doing so will mean that players will need to figure out the best way to play as their chosen character.
This essentially means that players need to determine what the best possible build is for the character that they are playing as. There are many different ways to build a character, but certain stats and abilities are just frankly better than others. This guide shows players the best possible build for Drizzt.
In order to create the absolute best version of Drizzt possible players will need to first focus on improving the character's stats correctly. When prioritizing stats the player should put points into Intelligence first and Strength second before following it up with Dexterity and Constitution. Wisdom and Charisma can then be Drizzt's dump stats. Intelligence and Strength will be the stats that allow the player to snag skills that enable him to deal the most amount of damage.
The player will then want to decide what feats they should select. These feats can be taken from three different categories. Here are the feats that the player should take from them:
Expertise
Drizzt whole thing is that he is fast and nimble. This means that he requires a lot of stamina, so these feats will ensure that the player has to worry less about the amount of stamina that they are using.
- Athletic - This skill will allow the player to use the evade ability but use 15% less stamina than normal.
- Endurance - With this feat, the player will gain 10% more stamina.
- Keen Mind - The cooldown on abilities will take 15% less time than it used to with this feat.
The Hunter
While Drizzt is not as strong as some of the other characters in the game, he can cause a lot of damage in a short amount of time if played correctly. These feats will enable the player's damage-dealing potential to remain as high as possible.
- Duel Wielder - This feat grants a 5% increase to physical damage across the board.
- Improved Critical Hit - With this selected the player will gain a 30% increase to critical hit damage.
- Second Wind - Once selected this will earn Drizzt a 5% decrease to stamina cost for all actions.
The Ranger
Since Drizzt is based around moving and attacking as quickly as possible, he tends to be kind of vulnerable when it comes to actually receiving damage. The feats selected from this category will make it more likely the Drizzt survives during combat.
- Tough - This will grant a 10% bonus to max health
- Defensive Duelist - Doing this will convert 100% Dexterity points into armor. This will greatly boost Drizzt's armor class.
- Uncanny Dodge - This grants a 15% armor bonus for two seconds after evading an attack.
There are actually a few different armor sets and weapons that will work really well for Drizzt depending on the route that players want to go in or the needs of their specific circumstances. Here are the two armor and weapon sets that players will probably most want to invest in:
Tundra Raptor Set
As stated earlier one of the most important aspects of Drizzt is his ability to move and attack enemies quickly, which means that stamina is an extremely important thing to him. The Tundra Raptor set will add to the character's already impressive stamina-based skill set if they are wearing enough pieces from this set. Having three or five pieces from this set on will grant the player a 10% and a 15% reduction in stamina cost respectively when using abilities. Additionally, if the player is wearing all eight pieces they will earn the ability to use precision strikes after dashing. This will greatly increase the chances of dealing a critical hit to someone. The Tundra Raptor Set has a higher chance of dropping during the course of Companions of Icewind Dale.
Remorhaz Brotherhood Set
This is another set that works really well for Drizzt abilities. One of the downsides to this character is that he has little elemental damage potential unlike the rest of his teammates. This makes handling certain enemies in the game frustrating, but with the Remorhaz Brotherhood Set, the player can eliminate those issues. When wearing three or five pieces of this set the player will earn 10% and 20% elemental penetration. If the player manages to get eight pieces of the set though they will earn 40% Bonus Elemental Damage whenever they score a critical hit as well. This ensures that Drizzt's combat abilities will earn a considerable element boost. There is a higher chance of the Remorhaz Brotherhood Set dropping during The Mask of Kelvin.
Once the player has gotten all of their gear and feats figured out they will then need to determine which abilities and combat moves they will need to use while fighting. When it comes to these abilities the player will want to focus on those that are best suited to Drizzt's strengths and learn how to use them correctly. When it comes to combat moves the player will want to focus on those that inflict status effects on enemies or grant Drizzt additional buffs. Here are some that are most useful for Drizzt:
- Dark Hands - This ability is a ranged attack that can cause a high amount of damage and has a 60% chance of inflicting curse on an enemy when it hits.
- Dark Portal - This is an AOE attack instead that has a 70% chance of inflicting curse on an enemy when it hits, and will also fill the Ultimate bar by 2%.
- Dual Edge Strike - When this hits there is a 35% chance of shortening the cooldown of abilities by 4%.
- Near Conjuration - Another AOE attack that will have a 60% chance of inflicting curse on enemies. The player will also be healed by 1% whenever this attack hits as well.
- Battle Trance - If the player uses this ability they will be granted two separate buffs: Frenzy and Vampiric. Frenzy will boost the player's damage and Vampiric will give the player lifesteal whenever they attack enemies.
- Faerie Fire - This is another ability that will grant Cursed on nearby enemies (which will double the amount of damage done when attacking an enemy). The ability will also inflict frightened on enemies which will cut their movement speed considerably.
The thing to keep in mind in combat is that until they are able to acquire the Defensive Duelist ability, Drizzt is once again not built for taking higher amounts of damage. Until they can get that ability the player will want to evade as often as possible to avoid taking damage. After evading the player can then use their ranged attacks to hit their enemies from a distance and then evade again before the enemy can retaliate.
The player should also keep in mind that there are several moves that Drizzt has that are unblockable entirely. Several of them also deal necrotic damage as well, so the player can try and boost this by equipping a weapon that grants increases to the amount of necrotic damage that is dealt. Players will also want to use Drizzt's ultimate ability as often as possible in order to greatly boost their damage-dealing potential.
Dungeons & Dragons: Dark Alliance can be played on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and PC.
