The best way to play Druid in Dungeonborne

Superficially, Dungeonborne may seem like a game that’s all about swords, shields, and melee attacks against every challenging monster in a dungeon. But deep at the core lies a class that’s so underrated that it opens up new ways to experience the game. Meet the Druid, a character so powerful that you might not need to rely on swords or shields.

Druids are masters of magic and have wonderful spells and tricks up their sleeves that are extremely useful in the dungeon. However, it’s not as easy as it sounds and it can take a while to master the Druid gameplay loop.

Druid skills

With the ability to transform into a panther at the touch of a button and even summon a treant for help, druids can feel like they have a different playstyle than any other character in the game. A player who has mastered the skills of a druid will be someone who quickly switch between different skills.

There are several passive skills that support your active skills. It is important to remember that The Druid’s main attacks are based on two play styles. First, use Primal Awakening by pressing Q to transform into panther form, and second, use spells to create attack and defense abilities with your staff.

If you play as a Druid, you will Use Primal Awakening as your movement-based abilityas well as attacks, as if you were playing a skirmisher who likes to confuse his enemies. However, it can easily happen that you maintain an aggressive playstyle, which is not what you want. In reality, you need to balance your defensive and offensive skills.

In the panther form, You regenerate about 30 primal energy. This is a form of currency unique to druids and acts as a resource each time you assume this form.

How to play Druid

With the power of nature on your side, playing a Druid can be an extremely rewarding experience. Your playstyle will be more confident as the Panther Form and Treant can act as support mechanics in combat.

But once you are back in your human form, it is important to keep in mind that A staff is your most reliable weaponand using different types of elemental damage can make you a resourceful member of a squad. Or a threatening enemy for monsters if you’re playing alone.

Not only does it look cool, but it also gives you a decisive advantage over your opponents in terms of mobility. Your speed will be increased dramatically and this can be used for many scenarios. For example, you can use this to flank distracted enemies or simply charge into a horde of enemies, depending on how confident you are about the encounter.

Once you activate it, a friendly Treant appears nearby and helps you fight enemiesThe Treant doesn’t have a lot of health, but in PvE situations it serves as an incredible source of distraction for enemies to focus on.
3. Your staff is a multi-purpose tool: Whether she Create an AOE damage loop or build a shieldYour main weapon (a staff) can help you with this. There are a variety of weapons to choose from and each serves a different purpose.

It is difficult to define a single way to play as a Druid. Instead Combine these skills to find which play style suits you best.. We recommend using a Treant first to distract your enemies, then entering your Panther form to either escape a situation or charge into battle. Additionally, using a staff beforehand allows you to set the tone for the battle by generating elemental damage that deals significant damage to enemies.

Building and equipping

It is important to know that druids wear leather armor and there is not much point in equipping them with a “heavy” body construction. A druid should be fast and versatile and able to quickly adapt to his environment.For this reason, there are certain items and equipment that you can invest in.

• Assassin Hood: Gives you an 8.6% to 12% chance to deal critical hit damage and restores up to 16% of your maximum HP.

Consumables

Traditional Dungeonborne players know the value of consumables in the game. These items not only increases your chances of survival, but also grants you buffs that can help in combat. For the druid, some consumables are a good choice when he is in the middle of a fight or starting from scratch in the dungeon.

• Vial of Shielding: When you find yourself running low on shields or other energy that can support a druid’s abilities, consuming this vial will grant you a protective shield that can withstand 250 points of any type of damage for 15 seconds.
• Healing potion: No matter how good you are, sometimes it’s just better to rely on this potion than save your health for a fearsome fight. Drink it and you’ll gain 10 HP per second for 30 seconds.

Remember, these Consumables are available from the dealer before entering the dungeon, so keep a few of these in your inventory before going in rather than relying on mid-game loot. Additionally, damage-dealing items like the Incendiary Bottle and Thunderclap Bottle can be used as backup weapons in case your staff or skills aren’t helpful in the challenge at hand.
