![]() It gives a “Soul Annihilation” special ability that basically amounts to a melee finishing move that eats all your focus and deals damage proportional to the focus it takes. Soul Blade is ready-made for multiclassing with any melee martial class. Soul Blade – Pillars of Eternity 2 Cipher It’s just hard to justify this subclass when Ascendant is capable of chain-casting any spell and doesn’t have to deal with the affliction requirement. The downside is that your soul whip damage is decreased against targets who aren’t susceptible to any sneak attack afflictions (for instance, flanked). Each successful cast on an afflicted target returns a bunch of focus. ![]() Beguiler – Pillars of Eternity 2 Cipherīasically the Beguiler subclass allows you to chain cast charm, domination and other deception spells if you’re casting them on flanked or afflicted targets. Because this allows you to spam your abilities at zero cost, it’s usually best (though not required) to single-class an Ascendant so it can chain-cast all the most powerful level 8-9 Cipher spells. Intelligence increases the length of the ascended state, so you’ll want to max that out, and building focus using a ranged weapon shouldn’t be that difficult overall. The trick with this build is to A) build focus as quickly as possible and B) keep the Ascendant state active as long as you can. Power is reduced while not at full focus, but once you hit full focus, your power dramatically increases and the focus cost of all spells is reduced to 0. Ascendant – Pillars of Eternity 2 CipherĪscendant is probably the most interesting of the Cipher subclasses and arguably the most powerful. Pure Cipher can generalize and do all of those things but, then again, so can the other subclasses pure Cipher just loses out on those extra bonuses that make each subclass particularly effective at what it does. Focusing on crowd control? Beguiler is what you want. Want to play a caster? Ascendant is the way to go. ![]() There’s nothing wrong with a pure Cipher, but in general it’s not as optimal as choosing the appropriate subclass for your intended playstyle.
