Divinity 2: The Best Skills For An Undead Character | Game Rant

Divinity: Original Sin 2 has been out for a while now, but that doesn’t mean players aren’t still trying to figure it out. One of the hardest things to figure out when starting a new game is what type of character to choose. Undead seems cool, but they don’t play like a normal flesh and blood character.

How do they work? What skill do you possibly choose to complement a skeleton? After all, traditional healing won’t work, and blessing them will make them die fast. Undead characters may seem cool, but they take a bit of finagling.

When playing as an Undead, the first thing players will notice is that healing potions no longer work. To substitute, Undead characters need to use poison to keep themselves alive. Unfortunately, poison isn’t always at the ready on the battlefield. That is why Contamination works so well. It spreads out poison in a large area and heals all Undead while damaging the living. What makes the skill better is the effect it has on blood and water. It turns them into poison. The more blood on the field, the better.

The second thing that Undead characters tend to notice is any normal healing spells like First Aid and Regeneration deal damage to them. Once again, we need to turn to poison, Poison Dart to be specific. This ability allows a player to place either poison an enemy or they can throw it on the ground to set a pool of poison. It is a great tool to use instead of Poison Potions as it deals 100% poison damage. This is often more effective because it scales up as a character levels up and increases their attack power.

What is an Undead supposed to do besides spreading poison around? Well, use it to their advantage of course! Siphon Poison is an effective tool to take full advantage of the poison clouds that will be spread. This skill sucks up poison in an area and adds bonus damage to the player’s weapon based on how much is sucked up. It is perfect for gaining extra damage from the spread of poison on the battlefield. Plus, Undead who decide to use poison will have a neverending supply to buff themselves with.

Let’s say that a player doesn’t want to do poison, or maybe they want to combine it with another skill tree. Necromancy is another great tree to branch into when playing an Undead. Raining blood works well on a few levels. This skill causes blood to rain across an area of the battlefield.

This douses fires and also causes enemies to bleed. This is perfect for contamination, but if a player doesn’t feel like using poison, it can still be used to heal. But that’s another skill.

So a player decided to branch into Necromancy. Now what? All that blood on the field and nothing to do with it. Well, Blood Sucker changes that. This ability allows a player to suck up all the blood surrounding them and use it to heal themselves. Let’s say the battle is against other Undead. What is a player to do if they use poison, heal them? This alternate version of healing comes in handing for an Undead so they can stay alive on the battlefield.

Need more healing and damage? Look no further than Mosquito Storm. This ability send out a swarm of mosquitos at an enemy to drain their blood. It deals 100% physical damage and also heals the player. That is hard to beat. Grabbing that will allow for some more healing for the Undead and less worrying about the damage they will receive. When combined with other skills, Mosquito Storm can really help turn the tide of a battle.

When caught in the fray of battle it can be hard to catch a break to heal. In most battle situations there will be an enemy or two that stand in the distance and attack from afar. Nether Swap is a useful skill to help escape the battle and get some much-needed healing. Plus, most of the skills listed so far are for a ranged character. This skill lets the player swap places with another character on the battlefield. That can be friend or foe. It can also be used to swap an ally with someone as well.

Say a player decides to branch into the Aerothurge tree and they already have some Necromancy. Vacuum Aura is a great skill to pick up so a player can get help with those pesky enemy skills. This skill deals air damage to enemies within an area and sets an aura on the player that causes silence and suffocation.

Perfect for living enemies and great to make it so enemies can’t use their skills. When playing Undead, Aerothurge abilities can really help out.

What is readily available so far, heals the Undead, and is easily set ablaze? Poison. If a player decides to go along with poison to help them out in battle, they can take advantage of the situation with a little fire to help deal some extra damage. Ignition shoots out a blast of fire damage around the player and ignites all the enemies. It also catches every susceptible surface on fire. All that poison will explode in fiery fury and deal a little extra damage to enemies. Be careful because that can end up hurting the player as well as allies.

Living Wall is one of those perfect defensive abilities that complement an Undead character extremely well. This ability summons a wall of vines that block the enemy’s path. This can be useful in corridors and tight spaces to prevent enemies from traversing so a player can hit them from afar. What makes the ability even better is the poison clouds that the vines emit. Undead characters can stand by them for some nice healing while being more protected.
