🛡️ Combat & Skills

Combat feats, skill-tree unlocks and the big single-hit damage trophies.

Sudden Fury

BronzeFull guideCollapse

Perform 3 critical hits within 10 seconds.

GradeBronze
MissableNo

How to earn it

Land 3 critical hits inside 10 seconds. Build crit chance/critical abilities and pile into a group so crits come fast.

Tip

Eradan's ranged criticals or a crit-boosting skill make this trivial against a pack of weak enemies.

Now for wrath, now for ruin!

BronzeFull guideCollapse

Kill 4 enemies simultaneously.

GradeBronze
MissableNo

How to earn it

Kill 4 enemies at once with a single area attack. Herd a group together (they clump in most fights) and hit them with an AoE ability or heavy sweep.

Gem-studded

BronzeFull guideCollapse

Slot an elfstone into an item.

GradeBronze
MissableNo

How to earn it

Open any socketed piece of gear and slot an elfstone into it. You'll pick up elfstones early — do it as soon as you find a socketed item.

Well-arrayed

BronzeFull guideCollapse

Equip all parts of an armor set.

GradeBronze
MissableNo

How to earn it

Equip a full matching armour set (head, chest, etc.) on one character. Set pieces drop as you play; once you have a complete set, wear all of it at once.

War-hardened

BronzeFull guideCollapse

Achieve at least 1 rank in a tier 3 skill.

GradeBronze
MissableNo

How to earn it

Level up enough to reach the third tier of a skill tree and put a point into any tier-3 skill. Comes naturally as you level.

Battle-master

BronzeFull guideCollapse

Unlock every active-cast ability in one character's skill tree.

GradeBronze
MissableNo

How to earn it

On a single character, unlock every active (cast) ability in their tree. Focus your points on one hero's actives rather than spreading them.

Tip

Do this on your main. By the end of a Heroic playthrough you'll have the levels; respec if you sprayed points early.

Warrior Exemplar

BronzeFull guideCollapse

For one character unlock every skill that modifies War Cry, Sanctuary or Evasion.

GradeBronze
MissableNo

How to earn it

Unlock all the modifier skills for the shared abilities War Cry, Sanctuary and Evasion on one character. Another 'dump points into one hero' trophy — plan your build around it.

Relentless

BronzeFull guideCollapse

While in Hero Mode, perform a streak of 50 hits.

GradeBronze
MissableNo

How to earn it

Fill the Hero Mode meter (build it by fighting), trigger it, then land 50 hits without dropping the combo.

Tip

Enter Hero Mode in front of a large, weak group so the streak keeps ticking. Fast-attacking Eradan racks hits quickest; avoid whiffing so the counter doesn't reset.

Fell-handed

SilverFull guideCollapse

Deal 1500 damage in a single melee strike.

GradeSilver
MissableNo

How to earn it

Land a single melee hit for 1500+ damage. Easiest as Farin with a fully-charged heavy attack, buffed, against a tanky enemy late-game.

Tip

Stack damage buffs (Hero Mode, potions, War Cry) and crit on a strong enemy or boss — the higher your gear tier, the easier the number.

Like a Thunderbolt

SilverFull guideCollapse

Deal 3000 damage with a single ranged strike.

GradeSilver
MissableNo

How to earn it

Land a single ranged hit for 3000+ damage. Use Eradan's charged/critical bow shot with every damage buff active, ideally on a Legendary run where enemy health (and your gear) is highest.

Tip

Buff up (Hero Mode + potions), aim for a critical charged shot on a big enemy. Coming back to it on Legendary with end-game gear makes 3000 easy.

Living Shield

SilverFull guideCollapse

Absorb 25,000 total damage during the course of 1 level.

GradeSilver
MissableNo

How to earn it

Soak 25,000 cumulative damage in a single level. Blocked and absorbed hits count, so tank up as Farin with a shield and wade into enemies rather than avoiding them.

Tip

Do it on a long, enemy-dense chapter. Keep your healer (Andriel) alive and just let the hits land while you survive — it accrues fast in big fights.
