DON'T pick Glass Cannon #60707405/08/17 12:41 PM | |

OP HombreFelipe stranger H Joined: Aug 2017 | Hi! I'd recommend you not picking Glass Cannon as a talent since it makes you unable to block status effects. Of course, if you play on Explorers Mode the enemies don't stun, so sure use it. I tried GC out for an entire playthrough and it got boring real fast with not being able to play. |

You want to make sure that character is always first in the fight, that way you can take advantage of their increased AP regen. Without high enough wits or enough characters who can remove status effects, glass cannon is rather pointless. |

Glass Cannon is a high-risk/high-reward talent, which synergizes particularly well with Adrenaline, Flesh Sacrifice and other AP-giving talents. |

You will be stunned round after round. Is that still a thing? I get stunned frequently in Explorer Mode. Both from coincidental sources (air damage when standing in water/blood) or direct sources (skills that include stunning). Last edited by Incendax; 04/09/17 04:40 AM. |

Joined: May 2010 Location: Oxford | Yeah, I've also been permastunned in explorer mode if I don't watch where I'm standing (or get caught in a downpour). It may have been changed in the last release as I only played up to the prison but certainly before that it was a regular nuisance. J'aime le fromage. |

Even without Glasscannon some early encounters in the EA way pretty though, without serious preparation, because of the bad equipment enemies could instantly stunlock your team otherwise. |

Irons journeyman I Joined: Sep 2016 | It will be better in the Final Build, because than it will take 2 steps to get stunned, shocked --> stunned. However even in EA it's extremely strong, you just have to be very careful how you play. |
