Wartales - Solo Archer now viable again??

welcome back to another war tales video uh i am kicking off a bit of a new party here to try something out um with the herak update bringing along the ability to maintain professions um rather than having to uh start a new profession from scratch every time you switch i have decided to try a little bit of a one-man run again um i'm probably not going to film the whole thing i'm more just going to do little bits here and there because what my aim is going to be is to actually kick off right from the word go with just a single archer companion so i tried this a while ago with like a robin hood sort of thing and now i want to see how we go so i'm kicking out my three starting companions uh i did start so that i got 50 bonus experience giving one character a level two start um and that means that we're going to go with valorous victory now they've also buffed the hunter recoil shot so i think i'm going to have a little bit of a play with kind of either the hunter or infantryman um let's see how we go um i have absolutely no idea how this will go so i am gonna pretty much just record short little snippets as i go uh explain what i've done and then tune back in uh over over time uh so my first goal is to run around the map collect some gear to craft some level 2 sorry some light armor for myself as well as a level 2 bow so let me commence wandering around the map and we will tune in again shortly all right tuning into one of our first fights of the game uh taking on just a couple of balls i've managed to roam around and pick up some extra armor and um just wearing some rags and a level 2 crafted bow at the moment and this is the first fight against a group of boars um being level two they do have 38 hit points each uh however they do only have eight movements so my character is faster than them and i can basically just kite them continually to keep them out of range so so far so good i will finish this battle and continue on my way okay after another fight with some bores uh we encountered a very small little group of um a raider and a henchman walking around so i thought i'd take them out as well um took the henchman out first to make sure that he couldn't deal too much damage uh he did trap in the corner and take out my armor a little bit but the raider is a nice easy target for us so a good way to win a small battle and achieve level three which we have done now so at level three we get to pick our main specialization now given that i have just been doing a bit of kiting and that seems to be working pretty well they have just buffed recoil shot so i am going to be taking that uh nice little buff to my dexterity we got a pig bane title for killing a number of boars roaming around the place uh and i picked up the skill mastery book from uh near alexa so we will upgrade recoil shot as well and we're running along with two shots now one that deals more damage and slows and then another kind of finishing shot as well um we should be able to generate enough victory points uh or valor points i should say through valorous victory and we will see how we go and we got some new armor so we can withstand a hit or two now as well and we're off and running all right our next little fight is against a uh plague in rat nest uh now i was trying to be a little optimistic and taking out one of the outgrowths as well uh so just pop that off here with the archer first while trying to stay out of range of the rats and now i'm up to working on the brood mother uh i am hoping i can get her down in one turn otherwise we may very well take a plague wound here um we haven't had the best best rock ball locations to date uh but let's see if we can't heal a couple of rats with this next one if we don't take out the brood mother that is all right and 18 to 26 oh we hit her for exact the the amount of health she needs uh so i don't really need to kill many of the outgrowths uh but i do want to kill a couple just so i can get some uh oils and um extra buffs going on my bow gotta keep this bowman as strong as i can possibly make him all right we've been tracking along with our archer for a little while now and he's up to level four i'm still wearing the same equipment and don't have uh armor layers or anything yet uh did pick up a couple of skills from the companions tent and yeah sitting level four after a bit over an hour now um we're gonna be heading into a um bandit left fight uh now it is still a two skull fight and there are six bandits in there uh so two hoodlums two marauders and two poachers now i'm not too sure how we go we may have to run away from this fight but so far the fights have been going pretty well the fact that they are surrounding us is maybe not the best and we've got double poachers on this side so i think what we're gonna do and is there anywhere to run so if i run down this way i'll trap myself in a corner uh i may need to think about trying to like run up this way so past all of the enemies we're up this way that will also work for us we do have a spear that we can use here and we're going to i want to try to take out the poachers first because they are the ones that will deal the most damage to us all right shot number one uh we do only have four valor points available so i do need to be a little careful with what we're doing here but i think we will be okay uh marauders are the main enemy we won't be able to kill in a single turn poachers and hoodlums i am hoping that we can i do need to try to take the poachers out early because of that extra damage um i obviously can't slow four enemies per turn but my recoil shot is quite nice as well for that uh okay so we've got a double hoodlum nice and close could it run in and use the spear i think i'm going to try to take this guy down first that's a very nice critical hit and now because he's not slowed he's obviously going to run a fair way so let's head away and i'm kind of hoping this poacher moves his way slightly to the front so it would have been nice to take out the poachers first but as we can't just yet i hope he's going to stay in front for us now the poacher's knockback shot doesn't actually cause a slowdown which is good for us at least anyway and [Music] that poetry is out in front enough that he's going to be my target this round so we are going to have to inch forward which does put us in range of the hoodlum unfortunately let's see if we get another nice crit oh we're close not quite all right put you down we are going to sprint away here as well so i could have saved the sprint but i'd prefer not to take the extra hit uh and i just thought this would be a bit more of an interesting fight to show you how um the recoil archer works against a large group of enemies rather than just the small kind of groups of sort of two three that i've been fighting uh one reason that i add in a few of these extra skills is that you can do some cool stuff like using wrath on the archer to get an attack of opportunity up close causing some extra damage and what not on the tougher enemies like the marauders uh now he's down to one health so he's going to be a perfect wrath target as well uh though this marauder being closer what do we want to do let's knock him back and being down to one valour point is not amazing so if we were fighting a larger tougher group we may be in trouble here um obviously we're down to just two now uh i do really want to upgrade the bow that i'm using because um a level two bow is not the strongest overall uh so that will be one of the very next steps anyway that is our level four archer taking out a two skull bandit camp uh i will continue leveling up him up around the rest of the truce and we will be continuing on to harag very soon okay then we have progressed our archer along on his path uh so how archer is now a level five archer uh carrying a bowl of the brave and um just some armor that i picked up off her merchant at level four um plus a couple of dexterity armor layers um crafted ourselves some quality projectiles for some extra damage on our ranged attacks uh and otherwise progressing along quite nicely did get a nice um double movement uh bonus on the last level up as well which was good the only problems that i had in the truce were that i couldn't actually capture uh a person for the quest over here um the farmers in this uh vineyard and abbey quest decided that they were just yellowing and um basically couldn't take them down um i did sort of finish the loop vineyard or the vineyard loop stuff but um decided against doing all the extra fights around here uh so with vertruce sort of mostly complete i'm going to head off into herrag we might run along and see if we can't take down a bear to finish this video off and then i think i'll save the uh level six through eight kind of stuff for another video another time um i do expect uh level eight to still take a little bit of additional time to um jump into just because it's going to be a fair whack of experience that we need for it uh let's pick up a another little pony here uh yep you're already level three uh i do like the ponies being at level three just because we do get the extra carrying capacity on them uh and little bit of extra constitution all right now there's bears there are usually some bears hanging out just in this forest here there we are all right let's surprise them level three bears we've got a little bit of valor uh and my aim here will obviously be to slow them down much as i have for the rest of it uh i think harag is going to introduce a few more difficult fights to the mix mainly around the um the number of infected you can get at certain points in time uh and this might be a very small little battleground i don't think i have a lot of hiding room here so let me get myself set up near a trap and commence operation remove the bears from the forest all right nice nice nice huh does that stop them now or are they just really slow i think they're just really slow what's the movement only five that is very good for me uh let's take him down with that and of course bears do have a second life as well so i definitely oh it does look like i can move a fair way into this forest that's cool i love the environment in herak um [Music] yeah so bears you do need to take down a couple of times before they actually uh give him the ghost and we'll wrap him and since we've got a spare valor point now boom so wrath with fury galvanization uh and a vulnerability buff on them allows us to take out some bears very easily uh i think the next challenge for this archer and why i think six through eight will take a bit longer is some of the buffs the enemies have but so far i would say that the solo archer build is definitely more viable 100 thanks to the harag changes uh so it has been oh yes extra pony means more food doesn't it ah let's feed you one of those done now overall it has been a fun little experiment though i think i'm about two and a half hours in and overall it's been good thanks for another video and that is kag over and out
