![]() ![]() The player controls a group of Hands of Avadon, warriors under Redbeard's command who seek out and fight a conspiracy against the Pact.Īvadon: The Black Fortress is a single-player role-playing video game. The servants of Avadon have great power and are not bound by the laws of the Pact, or rather, they are the law of the pact, though this can lead to corruption and abuse.Īvadon is led by its 'Keeper' Redbeard, a powerful and mysterious figure who was elected by the council that decides matters relevant to all members of the Pact, but in so being elected Redbeard holds the position of keeper for (his unnaturally long) life. The fortress of Avadon is a force within the Pact a small army of warriors, spies, assassins, and diplomats (known in-game as Hands, Eyes, and Hearts) tasked to protect the Pact and eliminate any threats to its safety, both internal and external, before they have the chance to grow. The Farlands include among their nations such fantasy creatures as Wretches, Giants, and Titans, with other fantasy creatures, such as Dragons, also existing within Lynaeus. The Pact has banded together to fend off invasion from the Farlands. There is the Pact, an alliance of five nations, in the centre of Lynaeus, and the Farlands, a loose-knit group of faded empires and barbarian territories, on the outskirts of Lynaeus. The Avadon series is set on the fictional continent of Lynaeus, which is divided between two primary warring factions, with internal struggles within these factions. It was later released for Android and Linux, and included in the Humble Bundle for Android 2. ![]() Version for the iPad was released on June 18. The game was released for Mac OS X in February 2011, and for Microsoft Windows in May. It is the first game in the Avadon trilogy. Warrior was my main toon so I couldn't exactly swap him out but I'm guessing a party with 2 shadow walkers and a mage would be the easiest combo to work through the game.Avadon: The Black Fortress is a single-player role-playing video game developed by Spiderweb Software. I use shields on all toons because 2h weapons don't nearly compensate for the loss. I usually try to use a warrior with a 2h weapon but that was completely pointless in this game, the 2h barely even do more damage then a 1h. Gotta say compared to avernum 4,5,6, I found the combat in this game immensly frustrating since every mob AoE's, knockbacks, roots, stuns, thorns, or charms. Then using the shadowstalker to pick off the low HP ones and just try to get your warrior to stand in the way, though once again taunt is pretty worthless in this game. Mage should get to fire all of her AoE's in 2 turns, then potion to reset cooldowns and repeat, that will severly weaken the adds on the fight you're referring to. Spec the mage for AoE, and the warrior to provide AoE battle frenzy. If 1-2 adds get on the shadowwalker, let him tank them and fire missiles at the ones on your other guys. His acid globe will never compete with his razordisks because. Just get his throwing skill as high as you can and any passives that help it out. There's also a lot of items that give +missle damage or crit chance, in particular that shield with +25% crit chance. Shadowstalker has the highest single target dps by miles because you can pump dex like crazy and not sacrifice any defense. Basically the whole game is setup to screw melee over. Shadowstalker melee was bad because it relies on backstabs, if you're that close to an ally you're going to take crazy AoE dmg because every mob in this game AoE's. The Melee DPS tree (left column) was also bad because your warrior is constantly knockbacked/stunned/rooted/charmed. Daze/charm/confusing gets resisted like crazy and neither it nor the buffs last long enough. I respecced around lvl 25 ish and suddenly the game became a whole lot easier.įirst, the mages CC/buffs tree is terrible. Most of the fights boil down to pure DPS races, playing defensively was not working for me for a number of reasons. The cooldowns on the shamans heals were too long and seemed like wasted turns that should be providing dps. I used warrior/shadowalker/mage the whole game. Dex is immensly powerful due to providing high defense and missile damage. The balance in specs/stats in this game is way off, for starters. I just finished a playthrough on hard and can share what I learned. ![]()
