How to unlock the Pact

A free Tethren Pact may be selected at the beginning of the game during the Rise, Envoy Fable . If Tethren was not chosen, see alternate methods of acquisition below.

Core Arcanics

• Fellust (courage) — Consecutive melee strikes deal accumulative damage. Each successful hit increases weapon damage.
• Call of the Ancients (spirit) — Draws attention of nearby enemies (taunt). Increases damage dealt and reduces incoming damage by half.
• Clash (grace) — Shockwave that staggers enemies around you. Increases defense against Stagger.

Suggested loop (general)

1. Fellust before hail
2. Call of the Ancients to group mobs
3. Blitzel fully charged Arrow Hail
4. Swap Grinn for melee stragglers

Gear direction

• Blitzel — common pick for this route (verify virtue attunement before crafting).
• Grinn — common pick for this route (verify virtue attunement before crafting).

Virtue focus and differences

Primary virtue is Courage. Compared with other Tethren variants (ranged, tank, or magick), this page stresses ranged positioning and Arcanic timing. If your group lacks control or sustain, consider a sister build instead of forcing one virtue stack.

Pros

• High Overall Damage
