You are free to pick and choose which you want outside of these because everyone’s style of play is different and there is no perfect way. In this section we’re going to cover the “must have” Swift Annihilation Abilities for this Build. It also gives enemies a chance to group up so that you can AoE them. If you’re playing Turn-Based you can get away with heavier Armor because you will only have one attack per round no matter what you do, so going later in the turn order to gain more protection is not that bad. More attacks = more Wounds & more Focus = more Damage.
You need good Penetration to use this Weapon type, but thankfully we gain an extra +3 Penetration from Thunderous Blows and Hammering Thoughts, so this is not an issue.Īrmor-wise you’ll want to use something light so that you can attack as quickly as possible. This is very very good, and only gets better as you progress the game, and you gain better Accuracy. What weapon type you like to use is up to you, but Great Sword has an amazing Weapon Modal that allows you to do an additional 30% Damage in exchange for -10 Accuracy. Primary Attacks only use 1 weapon maximum for attacks, and if we dual wield the off-hand weapon will not be used when attacking this way, so we go Two-Handed. Transcendent Weapons and Armorīecause Soul Annihilation, Raised Torment and Skyward Kick are all Primary Attacks it makes sense to use a Two-Handed Weapon. You could take Nalpazca if you want, which would be better than No Subclass if you don’t mind the drug management.
Helwalkers are better suited to ranged Builds that hold their Woulds for increased damage, whereas with this Build we’ll be spending them as fast as we gain them, thus No Subclass. I would have preferred Helwalker, but honestly you spend your Wounds so fast I don’t really see the point. This ability is only obtainable as a Soul Blade Cipher.įor my Monk Class I chose No Subclass because Shattered Pillar only gives you Wounds when attacking with a melee weapon, and we use a decent amount of spells with this Build.
In short, if you are playing a melee Cipher you’re going to want to play Soul Blade. Gaining Concentration when you down an enemy doesn’t hurt either. Soul Annihilation is one of the best melee abilities in PoE 2, and it allows you to damage any enemy since it deals Raw Damage, which goes through Armor. Transcendent Subclassesįor my Cipher Subclass I chose Soul Blade for cheaper Shred Abilities and access to Soul Annihilation. By the time you are finished casting that, you should have enough Wounds to AoE again with Raised Torment, or use Skyward Kick if it’s single target DPS you’re after. This should fill your Focus up quite a ways and allow for a Soul Annihilation or an AoE spell. You’ll cast Borrowed Instinct to buff your Accuracy and Defense, you’ll use Mortification of the Soul to gain some Wounds (if you need to), and then attack with Raised Torment. You’ll pop Enduring Dance for extra Accuracy and Wound generation, and Turning Wheel will boost your Intellect and melee Damage. The way this Build works is that when combat begins you’ll buff with Thunderous Blows for added Penetration and Damage, and Lightning Strikes for increased Action Speed and Damage.

Ciphers do this by attacking and Monks do this by being attacked, which means no matter what you do you are constantly gaining Focus or Wounds.īoth Wounds and Focus can be generated infinitely each combat, which is a huge plus point of this Build. What I really like about this combination is that you combine 2 self sustaining Classes that can regain resources through out the course of fight, so that they never have to just auto attack. The Swift Annihilation Build uses a combination of deadly attacks and spells from Monk and Cipher to handle any situation you may face. Pillars Of Eternity 2 Deadfire Builds Guide: Transcendent (Swift Annihilation) Please note that this Build Guide was updated for the 5.0 version of the game, as well as 1.02 on console (as of January 25th, 2020), and works with both Real Time with Pause and Turn-Based. If you’re new to Pillars of Eternity 2, or you just love creating characters as much as I do, then this Guide is for you. Please keep in mind that this is my Transcendent Build, and there are plenty of ways you can build this class, and this is not the only one.

I’ll be providing information on Attributes, Weapons, Armor, and most importantly, what Abilities to take and how to use them. In this Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire Build Guide we’re going to be taking a look at the Transcendent Class, which is a mixture of Cipher and Monk.
