The Pawn

The Pawn

The Pawn permits your character 1 AP worth of free movement per turn.

✗Requires Scoundrel 1

Incompatible with  Executioner

The Pawn is a talent.

Overview

The Pawn grants 1 free AP of movement at the start of each turn. This movement AP can only be used for walking – it cannot be spent on skills or attacks.

Strategy

• The Pawn provides 1 free AP of movement each turn, which is useful for characters who need to reposition frequently.
• Many experienced players find that mobility skills such as  Cloak And Dagger,  Tactical Retreat, and  Phoenix Dive handle repositioning effectively, reducing the need for The Pawn.
• The Pawn is most valuable on characters who lack access to mobility skills, or on builds that need to save their mobility skills for other purposes.
• On Tactician difficulty and above, offensive talents like  Executioner or  Elemental Affinity are often preferred, as ending fights faster through damage provides more value than positioning flexibility.

Notes

• The internal talent ID is `QuickStep`.
