Hi
@booze man ! Love your name haha
Welcome to the deadly world of the Exiled Kingdoms! This game is hard, it's what makes it great. It's a real challenge, nobody ever saved Varannar without breaking a sweat, a finger, losing an arm and a few vital organs. It's a harsh, unfair world. But once you beat the game, you'll be greeted as a true hero among us
Rogues are very hard to play, and you're hitting the level-wall (7-10) right now. It gets easier once you survive through it. There are many different builds you could try out, to find the playstyle that fits your personality most. Here is my best suggestion!
- Use your companion
Grissenda as a shield! Equip her with good armor and shield, maximize her HP and defense, and have her fight in melee (not with a bow). Don't focus too much on her offense, you need her to be tough. Learn how to bait your enemies by going close to them, then retreating a bit at the last moment. Grissenda will engage them in melee and take the blows in your place. She's tough, she can take it. Don't hesitate to make her use health potions during a fight, if needed. While she takes the heat, find a way to attack the enemy from a distance (with a bow), or with a sneak attack (stab them or flank them). If an enemy starts hitting you back, run away a bit until Grissenda becomes their target once more. Then resume your attacks. Try it, tell me how it goes!
(While your own HP are precious, your companion never dies. She will only faint like a pokemon, then wake up at 50% of her HP total. She's essentially immortal. Use it. Get her in the line of fire. Hide behind her. Push her into crowds of monsters if you need, she won't mind! Let her be the tank, while you deal the real damage)
