Tips and Tricks for Dragon Age: The Veilguard.

In Dragon Age: The Veilguard, the threat to Thedas is more severe than any previous situation. Solas, known as The Fearsome Wolf, is attempting to destroy the Veil, which is just one part of the challenges your character, Rook, will face. The odds are against you, so it will be essential to use every possible advantage to overcome them. Although the game offers various difficulty options, a thorough understanding of the systems and mechanics will allow you to face the challenge without needing to adjust the settings. There is a lot to take in as you enter this universe, so key tips and tricks will be provided to help you.

Choosing your class is crucial in the character creation process. You have three options: Warrior, Mage, and Rogue, and the selection you make will determine your role throughout the adventure, as you won’t be able to change classes or control other party members like in previous titles. It is advisable to think carefully about this decision, and if you have doubts, there are resources to guide you towards the most suitable choice. Once your class is defined, you can experiment with your build. The skill trees in Dragon Age: The Veilguard are highly branched, allowing you to explore different specializations on your way to the most powerful abilities. Fortunately, you are not tied to a single build, as you can refund your skill points at any time and redistribute them if you feel your character isn't evolving as you expected, you want to try another specialization, or you've removed a skill you didn't like. It's also vital not to neglect the development of your companions, as they also require you to distribute points as your bonds with them grow. Just like with Rook, you can refund their points whenever you wish.

You enter a world filled with destructible objects. There will be thousands of boxes, jars, barrels, and carts that you can break, which can be beneficial for acquiring a bit of gold, although this resource is generally scarce. Often, you will be able to obtain sellable materials and crafting items through these objects, so don’t hesitate to destroy what you find in your path.

The Beacon will be your main hub, where you can meet with your companions between missions. After completing a main mission, it’s advisable to check the map to see which characters are available for conversation. If you see a silver clock icon, don’t miss the opportunity to talk to that character, as it's a time-limited conversation you won't want to lose. Exclamation mark icons indicate personal quests for companions, while dialogue bubbles indicate important points to discuss and improve your relationship with them.

This title is more dynamic than its predecessors, so you may not use the tactical menu frequently until you face a tough boss. When forming your party, choose companions whose synergistic abilities can interact with each other, as this maximizes total damage. Remember to pause during fights to plan your moves strategically. Also, pay attention to enemies that have armor or barriers. Identify the golden or blue bars over their health, as they indicate the presence of a resistance you need to overcome before applying your most powerful attacks.

Do not underestimate the environment during battles. Each class has abilities that can push or move enemies, which can result in strategic eliminations if you manage to throw them off a cliff or into the water.

Gold is scarce, and you won’t receive it in large quantities through missions. It is advisable not to buy new gear at the start, as you will find numerous items that can be upgraded during your exploration. When you decide on a weapon you like, invest in its upgrade at the Workshop.

Finally, don’t forget to engage in side activities and explore. Side quests are varied and enriching, allowing you to increase your reputation with factions. Companion personal quests are especially rewarding, and don’t overlook the rewards that can arise simply from exploring different areas, including the Altars of Evanuris, which will help you increase your maximum health.
