The developers of Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous have revealed new details about the archetypes coming as part of the A Dance of Masks DLC, with one of them even giving you the ability to bring a Hippogriff into battle. You’ll be able to check out these archetypes when the DLC drops on June 13th.
Owlcat Games has detailed all the new archetypes coming to the game, with the archetypes revealed in two separate parts on Steam. The first part discusses archetypes such as the highly anticipated Drunken Master, the aggressive Chelaxian Diva, the powerful dual weapon giving Titan Fighter, and more. The second part explains the new archetypes released recently and includes details on even more new archetypes players can expect in the DLC.
The Sable Company Marine archetype because the Warden will let you travel with a hippogriff and let them engage in mounted combat as well. The hippogriff can wreak havoc by swooping down on enemies and using its wings to knock them back, which sounds pretty exciting indeed. The Bladebound archetype because the Magus (inspired by the Castlevania series) will have a sensitive Black Blade as its ally in battle. The Blade will not only help in battle but also protect them while they are unconscious and while switching weapons. If you’ve ever wanted a weapon as a loyal partner, then this archetype fits the bill.
We also learned more about the Mantis Zealot archetype for the Warpriest, who moves fast and uses serrated blades to shred their enemies as well as summoning a horde of mantises to swarm them. This sounds incredibly bad, because you will have a small army of mantas at your command to help you at all times. For a more range-focused build, players can choose the Kinetic Sharpshooter archetype for the Kineticist, as it fires charges. It’s a pretty simple build at first glance, but it’s likely to be one of the more powerful if used correctly.
Finally, Owlcat Games is expanding on the Magic Deceiver archetype for the Arcanist, which sounds really cool because it will let you cheat the magic itself. You will be able to use two different regular spells that will result in a powerful fused spell designed to manipulate and deceive your enemies in battle. This is probably one of the highlights of the new DLC, which is sure to make it much more exciting.
The archetypes in A Dance of Masks DLC are extremely varied and players will definitely enjoy finding out what suits their play styles. There is a lot of uniqueness in these archetypes, which makes them really powerful in their own way.
