Who Should Do Each Job In The Last Gambit?

Recommended Companions for The Last Gambit
Choose the Right Person For The Job Send Emmrich to Remove the Wards Send Lucanis to Fight the War Mage Davrin or Emmrich to Fight the Juggernaut Send the Less Preferred Companion

Choose the Right Person For The Job

Each choice presents the players with a hint as to what kind of skills are needed for the task at hand. This is a deciding factor for whether or not the chosen companion fails or succeeds at the assigned job.

As mentioned above, having good Strength with the Factions, as well as having your allies be Heroes of the Veilguard also helps boost the chances of survival. Both are secondary conditions that should not be overlooked.

Send Emmrich to Remove the Wards

For the first choice, the Veil Jumpers need someone well versed in magical wards or protecting others. As of writing, Emmrich is one of the companions that has been confirmed to succeed at the task.

Ideally, the companion you send for this task has achieved the Hero of the Veilguard status, and the Veil Jumpers are at a Faction Strength of level three, or three stars. Missing either of these conditions increases the chance of failure.

Send Lucanis to Fight the War Mage

The second choice recommends selecting a Companion who can fight mages, or perform suprise attacks well. Lucanis has been confirmed to be able to succeed if all the previously mentioned conditions are fulfilled.

Similarly to above, it is recommended that the chosen companion is a Hero of the Veilguard. The Antivan Crows and Lords of Fortune are also recommended to be at max Faction Strength.

Send Davrin or Emmrich to Fight the Juggernaut

The final choice is looking for a Companion that knows how to fight large enemies, or constructs. Davrin can succeed at this task, and if players had an alternate for him in the first choice, Emmrich may also be selected.

As is with the prior two choices, send a Hero of the Veilguard to maximize the chance of success. For this choice, the Grey Wardens and Mourn Watchers are the factions needed to have full Faction Strength for better odds.

Send the Less Preferred Companion

As the selected Companions will not directly participate in the upcoming fights of the quest, it is recommended to send the Companions that are lower-levelled or who won't be selected by the player for battle.

Above is a summary of the outcomes and consequences of all choices. The options presented for each choice will differ based on the player's party, and that some Companions may be unavailable due to previous choices.

Either Neve or Bellara are unavailable based on who was sent to dismantle the wards in the previous quest, and either Harding or Davrin will be unavailable based on who was sent to lead the distraction.

Results of Choices are Variable

Several factors affect the results of the choices above, such as the hints presented during each choice, the player's Strength with the in-game factions, as well as if the Companions have the Hero of the Veilguard status.

Choosing incorrectly, or lacking in any of these factors makes the Companions more likely to fail. Conversely, picking the right Companion, having high faction Strength, and being Heroes of the Veilguard increases the odds for success.

When Does the Choice Appear?

During The Last Gambit Quest

The thread of three choices appears at the beginning of The Last Gambit quest. Rook and their allies will convene to discuss their plan of attack, presenting the player with these choices throughout the meeting.
