The monsters will have most, or at least many, of their attacks interrupted when this song is active. If her comrades are surrounded by a lot of enemies, Leliana can plant herself in the thick of it and keep the monsters locked down in a nearly perpetual state of stun. The Captivating Song is one of the best 'swarm control' abilities in the game.

The bonuses increase with her Cunning score. The Song of Courage provides hefty bonuses to critical chance and attack bonus. She will towards the end acquire Master Archery, but by then it becomes icing on the cake.īard Songs: The two key songs here are the Song of Courage and the Captivating Song. The delay caused by Aim will be more than offset by the Repeater Gloves that drastically reduce the firing time. Leliana often makes certain parts of the game so much easier by either using her bow to egg on outlier monsters as part of the 'drawing out' technique, or by wiping them out as a sniper in a process of attrition. Aim, in conjunction with the Song of Courage and bonuses from many of her items, will also allow her to score critical hits with her bow with great frequency. This, by the way, coupled with a high enough Cunning score, suffices for pretty much every trap in the game.Īrchery: For Leliana to simply acquire Aim represents the economic route to making her an effective Archer. Mechanical Expertise at 8th level: A lot of traps that will come shortly will require this, so not getting it now means missing out on a lot of experience. I have certain priorities to address, and in a certain order.

The Bard and Ranger specializations have a certain synergy or way of complementing each other that makes this the perfect build for Leliana. Starting Inventory / Enchanted Dagger (Grey Iron), Seeker's Circle Strength 18 Dexterity 22 Willpower 16 Magic 14 Cunning 17 Constitution 10 I used it to change Leliana's appearance to more closely resemble what she looked like in the Dragon Age television commercial. I now use the Sacred Ashes mod from Dragon Age Nexus, which allows me to significantly alter the appearance of either Leliana or Morrigan.
