Best Abilities for Noble Scion

Best Starting Noble Scion Abilities
Tanglefoot Icon Tanglefoot Parry Icon Parry Evasive Icon Evasive
Best Noble Scion Abilities
Steady Aim Icon Steady Aim Marksmanship Icon Marksmanship Piercing Thrusts Icon Piercing Thrusts
Finesse Icon Finesse Constant Recovery Icon Constant Recovery Arrow Deflection Icon Arrow Deflection
Power Slide Icon Power Slide Critical Strike Icon Critical Strike Flurry of Blows Icon Flurry of Blows

Despite the fall of your once noble family, the Noble Scion would still have been educated in the more refined form of combat. Get Parry to display your mastery of one-handed swordsmanship, and Evasive to show off your speed and endurance.

Later on, you can get abilities that fit your persona in court. Steady Aim to display your keen eye for observation; together with Marksmanship, Finesse, and Piercing Thrusts to show that you are not merely capable in court but also outside of it.

At higher levels, get Power Slide for a satisfying and nifty way to engage your enemies, as well as Critical Strike and Flurry of Blows, to get even more damage potential, with a display of refined yet relentless skill.

Best Weapons for Noble Scion

Best Noble Scion Weapons
Swords Pistols

As a Noble Scion, you excel in swordsmanship and gunpowder handling, mostly because unlike commoners, you had access to both in your youth. Wield a One-Handed Sword in your main hand and a Pistol in your off-hand for both close and mid-range combat capability.

Best Armor for Noble Scion

Light Armor is best for the Noble Scion as it grants them freedom of movement on the battlefield. Its lower stamina penalty also synergizes with the abilities you take later on down the Ranger tree. However, being a noble, you are no stranger to having options and wearing Medium Armor is a must, especially before a particularly tough battle.

For this Noble Scion build, you can use the following stat priority when leveling up: Might > Dexterity = Resolve > Perception > Constitution > Intellect. If starting a new game, you can tweak your starting stats and go with: Might = 3, Constitution = 1, Dexterity = 2, Perception = 2, Intellect = 1, and Resolve = 1. During early game, you can focus on raising Might and Resolve while relying on items to give bonuses to Dexterity (+DEX) and Perception (+PER or +Critical Hit/DMG).
