Made a "Hell Knight" build with my Dragonborn warlock... Sellsword background and Took the perk that gives you heavy armor proficiency.
Nice. Thanks for the post. Cheers!
There are some truly amazing spells/Invocations worth mentioning: Slow, Bestow Curse, & Contagion completely nerf dangerous enemies 👍🏾
Very true. Thanks for mentioning. Cheers!
Great video and content. The Dragonborn/Fiend/Sellsword was fun and a more versatile build, but a little bit limited in scope for max melee. You’re going to use EB a lot more than you lead on. Of course you want to be in melee asap, but leading the charge with a ranged attack is often more beneficial than charging in and losing your tactical advantage. At level 5 you’ll be averaging 20-30 damage with a decent EB.
You’re right about playing with stats, but you missed the part of utilizing magic items to facilitate for your gaps. The 1/2 orc and the DB are the normal choices, but a high Dex elf or 1/2 elf will gain you a lot more after a bit of playing. I used a rapier at level 3, until I found gauntlets of ogre str. Then I switched to a 2h sword. At endgame my elf has a 20 AC with his starting Warlock armor. There’s so many bonus str magic items, you can honestly stat dump str and then find/buy a 19-25 str belt/gauntlets to supplement your stat. Now I rock a giant Str belt and a 2h maul.
Lastly, the Timekeeper has the highest DPS of the four subclasses. The fact that you can cast Haste (3rd att > malediction) or Grtr Invisibility (better for your team than the darkness/Devils sight combo) gets you more attacks or better att/Def, without relying on others buffs as much. If you have a good team, the likelihood of getting all three buffs (malediction+greater invisibility+haste) is pretty high.
Thanks you for the comments and additional build advice. Cheers!
Nice video, probably should mention the Lifedrinker invocation at level 12.
You are right, I did not mention it given most people will not get to level 12, but I should have. Cheers!
This build goes hard in the paint.
It does indeed. Cheers!
Love all your Solasta content, it’s been really helpful. I’m using the UB mod now which has a great Patron option called SoulBlade which is basically a HexBlade from 5E. Let’s you do a pure CHA version of this melee build. Also multiclassing Paladin or Fighter on this build is super cool. I hope they add multiclass to the main game but for now it’s a reason why I always use the mod.
Thanks for the post and comment. I cannot wait until they allow Multiclass! Cheers!
@@VaniverseGaming If you enjoy this game man; get the Unfinished Business Mod. It's a collective effort by the community and basically allows for all the QoL things that aren't included in the game and gives the ability to multiclass (with custom subclasses) and even adds a few races. Mod is a must have.
I will have to try it out. Cheers!
@@VaniverseGaming Cheers! You won't regret it mate. It's exquisitely crafted. From start to finish.
Sounds good. Cheers!
Had a concept made once for a Small sized reborn "mummy" who used a caestus wrapped in mummy bandages. To most he looked weird, a little creepy, but still small & "weak." Oh, boy, were they wrong. He was an Undead Bladelock (level 1 fighter) with a 1D4 Caestus as a pact weapon (Dexterity). At level 20 he was built pure tank with 225 HP (functionally 325+ HP with 6 uses of Form of Dread).
Basic attacks were 2D4+9 with either an extra 4D8 for Green Flame Blade (converted to Necrotic damage) or an extra 6D8 Necrotic damage from Eldritch Smite.
The first would heal an average of 29 HP with Eldritch Smite (16 without) & 30 with Finger of Death.
What a great concept. Thanks for sharing. Cheers!
note that you get ogre gauntlets early so you can dump strength to get 19 and later even upgrade to the belts that give 25 strength.
Yeah - I did not incorporate items when doing this build. I did in my other build videos I believe. Cheers!
Invisibility spell & Beguiling Influence (Persuasion expertise) help very much to sneakily complete ogre power gauntlet quest before level 5. They can always be switched out later 👍🏾
Man I was excited for the L5 gameplay that didn't make the cut lol! Cool idea on the build.
L5 gameplay? Cheers!

Oh, whoops. I did say I was going to show that and then added lv 11 footage....Sorry. Cheers!
No worries, still a great video! Are you able to link the footage? I've been trying to find it and see this Bladelock in action!
I forgot that I did not have footage on this one. I did make a video on a party of four lv 11 Warlock gameplay that I did instead. Did you check out that video? Sorry man, I failed miserably on this one lol. Cheers!
I run Bladelock with Wardenblade and a sheild. My Ac is insane. I dont pick up follow up strike because i just use thirsting blade.
If you want a sheild tho, picking up Raise Sheild feat is fantastic especially against range.
Great tank build for sure! Cheers!
Why roll the dices if you can use the free edit options? As far as i know it doesnt limit anything.
BG3 builds told me to dump strength to charisma after pact of blade , is STR important after pact of blade ?
Pact of the blade in BG3 was homebrewed. in BG3 yes, you do not need STR. In 5E tabletop Hexblade allows the CHA to be used, and in Solasta you cannot use CHA at all. Cheers!
Well... Extra-nice. I've got my baddies. Four half-orcs, one hoodlum, one berserker, onecombat cleric and this warlock. They WILL save the world
They sure will! Cheers!
man....after watching that 'vision', I've been planning to roll back some 4 half-elves and human mix squads of plain knights? like some sort of 4 horsemen, and they'll be hard hitting, with black armors and heavy hitting slash swords...who was that one dark knight protecting the entrance being held by wizards? in exactly that vision?
I do not think he had a name. But he was a Paladin for sure! Cheers!
you need to make BG3 build videos
It is on my to do list. Cleaning up some old videos to post for Remnant 2 than B3 will be main focus. Cheers!
when rolling with dice for stats at least get some low stats too, i understand the point of "having fun" but this is plain op haha
if you get 18 17 at least get
Well technically you are either a MAD SAD or DAD. Most classes only need 3 good stats so it’s okay to have a few dump stats :)
i thought pact of blade use cha for your weap why so much str
No, pact of the blade does not. The Hexblade subclass is where you get that in 5e and Hexblade does not exist in Solasta. Cheers!
how do u respec im solaata
You cannot Respec in Solasta without a MOD. Cheers!
I will run sword and board because I AM A TANK PLAYER. I will make the warlock tanky.
Go for it! Cheers!
0:47 you promise to show us how this build plays at around level five, but then by the end of the video it turns out, you never did! Meh
Haha, yup I messed up. I ended up doing an all Warlock subclass gameplay video instead. What can I say I am a failure..Cheers!
Needed that 🤟Thanks! Promote your social media with P R O M O S M.
