So, if players want to create the strongest Death Caller, they should pay attention to this build. This guide includes valuable advice on the best Perks to select, the equipment that synergizes perfectly with its passive skills and traits, and the best combat strategy to outmaneuver even the most dangerous enemies.
Best Build For Death Caller In Dragon Age: The Veilguard
Death Callers aremasters of Life and Death, and their fearsome spells cause Necrotic Damage and steal the Life Force of enemies, as well as generate buffs for the party as they decimate their foes.Necrotic damage is one of the best damage types in the game, since many enemies do not have resistance to this element (even the final Boss is weak to Necrotic damage) and it also pairs up nicely with Cold Damage thanks to certain Perks included in this build. To get things going, verify to pick the following Perks from the Mage Skill Tree:
There’s a total of66 Skill Points to distribute, considering the base 49 Skill Points and an additional 17 fromFen’Harel Altarsthat are hidden throughout the World. Make sure to reach the maximum level and collect all the Fen’Harel Altars in order to make the most out of this build.
Necrosis: Causes damage over time and overcomes Barrier. It is highly effectiveagainst Bosses like High Dragonsand powerful enemies like Pillars, Antaam, and Pride Demons.
Best Gear For Death Caller In Dragon Age: The Veilguard
All the enchantments and bonuses from this gear will synergize perfectly with the Death Caller’s build, granting empowered abilities, Necrotic Damage, and augmenting the number of Necrosis Affliction DoT that can be applied to the enemies. The best part of it is that there’slittle room for mistakes with the Death Caller’s combos, since they’renot overly complex like the Spellblade ones,or are not so dependent on strategic positioning like the Evoker’s.
Best Strategy For Death Caller In Dragon Age: The Veilguard
The Death Caller specializes in dealing AoE damage and targeting enemies to cause Debuff-empowered Necrotic damage, as well as to generate Afflictions that deal damage over time. With that in mind, players should start the fight by usingFrost NovaandCorrupted Groundin tandem to generate a strong AoE that culls down weaker foes, while severely weakening strong enemies and riling them up for a follow-up attack.
Ideally, Death callers would combo using the Veilsong, which will result in a powerful combo of 11 attacks that can cause severe damage. If they make some tweaks in the Shadow Dragon branch Perks and end up taking the Bolt Volley Trait, this will duplicate the amount of projectiles this build fires but will lose some of the intrinsic power for abilities and other buffs.
Final Attacksare the last attacks of a combo chain and often trigger certain effects, depending on the Perks Rook has chosen.Staff Energyempowers attacks with bonus damage and applies an affliction when full, depending on the Elemental Type of the staff. Final attacks from Staff can also Detonate or Shatter, depending on the Passive Perks the Mage has. Somespecial Final Attackscan be unlocked byTraits(special Perks) likeSoulburn,which can Detonate Sundered targets.
If they want to use the Charged Range attack of the Staff, the Mortal concentration + Invigorating Beam + Death Surge Perk combo will ensure a strong energy blast that causes high damage. This attack even steals the life-force of the rivals, and thanks to thesynergy with other equipment, it replenishes more Mana.
As Charged Range attacks constantly consume Mana, it will leave the Death Caller a little bit stranded when it requires casting a spell, but thanks to the Passive synergy selected, it will only take a simple Staff combo to regenerate the whole resource pool.
Alternatively to the Veilseeker, Death Callers can also equip the Unique Staff Meredith’s Legacy, whichdeactivates all healing sourcesbut grants +10% leech effectiveness,
and it leeches health on hit. This is incredibly effective and can also synergize with the above-mentioned passives, especiallyInvigorating Beam. But beware, this is a high-risk, high-reward build choice and players should only pick this option when they completely dominate the Death Caller’s abilities.
Remember, the Staff also has a somersault Area attack, which, thanks to the passives from this build, has been improved in both AoE size and Damage, and also applies Necrosis to nearby foes. The same can be said about the Jump Attack, which can cause severe Stagger to foes, leaving them open for a Takedown. Thanks to the passives picked in this powerful build, Takedowns also recover health, ultimate, and mana, so keep this in mind and use every chance to replenish resources during battle.
