Should Taash Embrace Rivaini Culture or Qunari Heritage?

Pursue the Rivaini Culture

It is recommended that players choose to pursue the Rivaini Culture, as the Veilguard Skill and Legendary Armor obtained offers a massive boost in Taash's damage output, as opposed to the weak utility the other choice provides.

List of All Major Choices and Consequences

Outcomes and Consequences

Summary of Choice Outcomes

Prompt
Taash: Yeah.
Choice Consequence
What did she want for you? ・You've convinced Taash that they should embrace being Rivaini.
・Taash gains Rivaini Flair (Veilguard Skill)
・Obtain the Rivain's Legacy (Legendary Armor)
Who was she? ・You've conviced Taash that they should learn more about being Qunari.
・Taash gains Qunari Focus (Veilguard Skill)
・Obtain The Qun's Honor (Legendary Armor)

Embrace Rivaini Culture

Reward Effect
Rivaini Flair
Veilguard Skill		 ・Taash's Critical damage increases by 50%, with damage vs. High Health increased by 25%
・Taash's Burning now deals 50% more damage on the initial hit, reducing by 10% on each subsequent hit
Rivain's Legacy
Legendary Armor		 ・All Detonations now apply Burning to all affected enemies
・Detonations deal an additional +150% Fire damage if the target is already Burning

Rivaini Flair and Rivain's Legacy can skyrocket Taash's personal DPS, with the added bonus of applying Burning on detonate. Rivaini Flair can frontload the DoT of Burning instead of averaging it across its duration, allowing faster kills coupled with the increased damage against High Health.

The additional 150% Fire damage on detonate is highly accessible, as Taash has various skills and upgrades that can apply Burning, such as: Fire Breath, Dragonfire Strike and the second upgrade of Spitfire.

Embrace Qunari Heritage

Reward Effect
Qunari Focus
Veilguard Skill		 ・Taash's weapon attack damage increases by 50% with a 20% reduction in cooldown duration
・Taash's Burning duration increases by 2 seconds
The Qun's Honor
Legendary Armor		 ・Detonating a Weakened enemy Detonates another nearby Weakened enemy (internal cooldown)
・The second Detonation now applies to all other nearby Weakened enemies, not just one

Qunari Focus and The Qun's Honor can spread the Weakening Primer, allowing for more detonates with another character to trigger it in the party.

Though the Weakening effect itself is niche, having The Qun's Honor can allow for subsequent detonates in a party consisting of Bellara and Warrior Rook, or Davrin and Rogue Rook.

When Does the Choice Appear?

After Lair of the Dragon King Quest

After Lair of the Dragon King Quest

This choice for Taash appears back at the Lighthouse, after the Lair of the Dragon King quest. This is the final companion quest for Taash, and they becomes a Hero of the Veilguard afterwards.
