When it comes to upgrade priorities, go for Bolster first, then Retribution as soon as possible. The Vanguard is a good pick for a DOT comp. Retribution is one of the most powerful abilities in the game in terms of multi-target damage and tanking ability. Pick the abilities Crush, Defender, Bolster, Hold the Line, and Retribution and he'll solve almost any issue that you come across in game. To balance out these buffs, Barristan has 20% less resistance to Blight, Bleed, and Burn tokens.Ī typical Vanguard Man-at-Arms should be in the first rank of the party but he can work in the second rank if needed. It also starts Barristan off with 20% more max HP, which is huge considering he's already one of the tankiest heroes in the game. This path applies a 25% damage boost to Riposte abilities and a 50% damage boost to the Crush ability, too. In return for the damage debuff, Barristan will get a 100% buff to move resistance and an improvement to his Bolster ability that removes Vulnerable and Weak tokens when he uses it on himself. This can be annoying, but it's possible to counter this with some strong ability picks and item choices. If you pick this path, Barristan will take a flat -20% damage debuff.
The Sergeant path is one that focuses on team support and the Bolster ability, sacrificing a little of Barristan's damage in return for strong buffs and improved abilities. This is a great way to save up and unlock new trinkets or add more heroes to your roster. The most important thing to note about the Wanderer path is that it rewards you with extra candles for reaching the second Inn in your run. It's a pretty standard path, with no particular abilities or challenges to note. He's very durable no matter which path you pick, so having him on your team gives you the chance to experiment with more temperamental heroes.Īs noted, the Wanderer path is essentially the default path that all heroes have available from the beginning. It's worth trying out all the different paths as soon as you start playing, as Barristan is a great foundational hero to base a team around.
