All Starting Equipment in Death's Gambit
Gift |
Class |
Type |
Description |
|
Cape | A weathered capem donned by the enlisted soldiers od Vafos. Your mother would have been proud to see you wear its color. But has it all been worth it? | |
|
Heal | A plume from the legendary Phoenix. Unleashing its natural radiance has restorative properties. | |
|
Dagger | Daggers that deliver attacks in rapid succession. The tools os both thieves and knightsm when precision is more valuable that brute force. | |
|
Shield | Your movement speed while block is faster. A simple lightweight shield. There's really not much else to it. | |
|
Greatsword | A common, heavy, two-handed weapon, particularly effective against multiple foes. Its worn steel bears the weathering of practiced hand. How many of Vados have fallen to its edge? | |
|
Haldberd | A common, heavy, two-handed weapon with long reach. All shielded knights of Aldwynn carry these. | |
|
Shield | Infantry shiled for soldiers from Vados. No amount of preparation could have change what ultimately happened. If what Death said is true, I hope they don't scorn me in the after life... | |
|
Longsword | A standard Vados issues longsword. ITs hilt is decorated like a tree, where its branches from the crossguard. The blood stains look as though they're macabre blossoms | |
|
Axe | A standard Vados issues axe. ITs weathered blade has seen multiple expeditions. Sometimes those who participate simply have nothing more to lose, and everything to gain. | |
|
Tome | A simple spellbook used by most apprentice practitioners of magic. They are traditionally hand-me-downs from master to ward. | |
|
Helm | Notorious for their service as royal advisors to kings, the Magisters of Nuram wear prominent white hoods and a golden mask to veil their treacherous smiles. | |
|
Item | Removes Poison. Said to grow from the ashen wake of fire, the white blossoms are symbolic o f purified souls. For this reason, funerals in Vados often overflow with the pale petals of the draconem. | |
|
Item | Gives 25 soul energy when consumed. Stories of the towering Gaians have been passed down for generations. It's the Sandmen's job to harvest the slumbering giants for parts. | |
|
Item | Returns you to the last Death idol rested at. The opalescent jet feather of a crow. They have long been the harbingers of Death, their eyes said to be a gateway for him to observe our world. | |
|
Scythe | A scytge given to those who worship Death. Just as a farmer harvests wheatm so to does Death harvest souls. Out life force transcends into a new plane of existence to perpetuate life beyond our understanding. |

Assassin Finesse/Haste hybrid for the win. Bow/Spear. Not for a mortal run though. That would go poorly for you. Nice speedy damage and exploitation of roll timing. Probably a little squishier than other classes though. Mythril boots help.

playing 5hours on this class. Maybe i suck im lvl 24 and have only beaten owlking so far. Boring grinding to level up and the combat is dull. Shold i pick another class? which is better, cus i think this class is crap and i never block anyway since the mechanic is*****.

It's worth pointing out that the Sentinel starts off able to wield almost all of the best strength weapons in the game at the base stat of 7 str because of the soul ability, making it a solid choice for the "Perfect Run" achievement in which you don't level up and eat the game in under 4 hours.
soldier is so broken, lmao. Always pick it up as main or secondary class.
