Perhaps more important however is that the amount of Focus you gain is directly based on the amount of damage you deal. Might affects all damage you deal, and as Ciphers are designed to primarily deal damage, this is obviously important.
Just a few guidelines though:Ī primary stat for the Cipher and one of the most important. This is min/maxed of course and isn't always the optimal spread, as such you may choose to add extra CON or RES to help with your squishiness. With Deadfire Archipelago - Drifer chosen as the back ground. The attribute spread I would recommend is: This ability is great on any class and Cipher is no exception. Its still a pretty good race overall though.īlah blah Silver Tide. The Cipher however does have a fairly limited number of them available.
You do lose the ability to use a helmet though.ĭeath's Usher is a pretty good damage dealing talent when paired up with damage over time effects or AoE. This will also work on fear auras which can be very useful when fighting dragons or drakes.įunctionally, their ability is similar to a Human's, though it packs much more of a punch. Getting a bonus to all defenses upon being hit by a Will attack is pretty good, as enemy casters (In particular other Ciphers) will likely aim their spells at you. Not much else to add really, enjoy getting those crits! Overall, this race's usefulness ultimately hinges on your play style personally I think an extra weapon slot is quite useful.Īn excellent race, Ciphers love crits and this race helps increase your chances of getting them. Obviously if you plan on taking advantage of their weapon sets, you'll want the Quick Switch talent to minimize the amount of time you take swapping weapons around. One strategy is to equip two guns and fire one shot from each to generate a large amount of Focus and then switch to 3rd faster attacking weapon like a War Bow. Stun however is mostly deadly for frontliners due to their greatly reduced Deflection, though it is an annoying status effect as a whole.Īn extra weapon set can provide some utility. Ranged Stuns though can come from Cean Gŵla, Greater Wind Blights and a majority of enemy Druids. Not too many enemies will be using Prone attacks on a Cipher, assuming you're able to keep them away from melee attackers. Its not a bad choice for a melee Cipher, but for a ranged I'd probably look at other options.Īccuracy bonuses to Wilders and Primordials is actually better than you think, since a lot of the most dangerous enemies in the game are of these types! Adragans and Ogre Druids are among these, and we all know how much of a pain those two are. Most of these types of attacks usually come from melee attacks, however enemy Druids are very trigger happy with spells of these types.
Poison and Disease resistances are alright I guess. Overall, I'd say its a pretty strong pick. Both types are also very useful to have in Cragholdt as the numerous casters in the area favor those two elements. Cold damage resistance in particular is very helpful when dealing with Shades early in the game. Resistances to burn and cold damage is never a bad thing. This does however restrict your power selection a tad bit, as you'll most likely want to avoid powers that move you close to an enemy, such as Ringleader. Typically the race of choice for a ranged Cipher, since just by being 4m away from an enemy you'll gain damage and accuracy bonuses. On the other hand, unlike Godlikes, you can still wear a hat which may be significant. Wood Elf is the race chosen for this build, it doesn't hurt to explore the other races as some can possibly offer more.Ī ranged Cipher typically want to avoid damage whenever possible, so the Human's racial ability isn't particularly something you want to rely on, and the ability itself is pretty weak compared to what the Godlikes have to offer. Personally the race choice doesn't really matter too much, though some races are a lot more useful than others. This guide is intended for Path of the Damned, but there's no reason why it couldn't work on lower difficulties.

This guide merely exists as an example on how to build a ranged Cipher, and isn't strictly the only way to build one.
