Using this strategy I killed Baron Brixius(Heroic) without focus draining.
4/4 Integrity (Passive 25 Focus Regen every turn) 3/3 Adrenaline (Dispel Poison, 40% healing bonus, 13 Focus Regen, 25% Strength Increase) 3/3 Reform (Restorte 65% of your maxiumum health)
1/4 Endurance (To get to Crystalize) 3/3 Crystalize (Locks targets out of play, stops enemies from death. a four turn stun is invaluable!)
Simply as that.
Your 8 spells should be 1 Leading Strikes 1 Destroy 2 Crystalize (I use two to make sure I keep a target locked out (or two! but one is enough letting you focus on other elements (like the 1 turn stun break) 2 Adrenaline (Casting this twice is very usful and also for healing allies)
With this strategy youy stack health and strength only. Strength is your Main attack ([Destroy] 450% of your Strength!!) Vitality is your Health, and your healing spell The more health you have, the more you heal for, the more impossible it is for you to die. I simply cannot die, and by locking 1 or 2 targets out of play I can kill any opposition
I recommend trying this. Primary Stats: Vitality, Strength
Forgot to add 2/2 Reform...should be obvious though. Solo'd Final fight of stage 13 (team mates died as i killed medic (while locking out sniper) (Then locked out main guy killing sniper and stunning when he buffed) Then last guy is easy... consider my 2.2k health (being healer up to twice every 3 turns)
How the heck did you beat the priest/knight combo in Zone 2 with this strategy. I played one round for like 45 minutes and never got anywhere. It was complete stalemate.
