Crowd Control + Support
The best starter pact for new players. Combines crowd control, healing, and damage in one flexible kit. Preludes 15 (Oscelda): Virtue is free per loadout (no Virtue Lith). Review Pact Arts renames before respeccing.
Oscelda is consistently rated as the most beginner-friendly Pact. The P11 video praised its Vernal Pool sustain and crowd control. OrbIsNull P15 rates Courage=S−, Grace=S− (near-invincible with full water passive), Spirit=A+. The site's A tier is slightly conservative compared to OrbIsNull's best-virtue S−, but reflects the Pact-level average across all three virtues.
Community ratings per Courage / Grace / Spirit route — does not change the overall pact tier badge above.
Full water passive — near-invincible sustain anchor.
Full water passive — strong boss control.
Strong passive but squishy caster body.
