You need to spend a certain amount of renown points. Eliminating a certain number of enemies isn't the only requirement for leveling up.Thanks to that they won't stop developing and remain at a lower level. Try to create opportunities for these heroes that will allow them to eliminate opponents (preferably those enemies who were weakened by other party members). This is especially important for support characters. The only way to level up a given character is to have them defeat a certain number of enemies. You don't get classic experience points.We will only remind you its most important rules: The leveling up mechanism (promoting to new ranks) used in The Banner Saga 3 is the same as the one from the previous games. For example, an archer doesn't need to have Armor on the maximum level. Some of them aren't that useful for characters with specific specializations. You can of course develop them even further but don't try to have all the stats on the highest possible level. This means that breaking their armors is very important.Īdditional Note: Your heroes start The Banner Saga 3 with a high level so their stats should already be well-developed.

Don't ignore this stat because many powerful enemies are well-armored. Armor Break - determines how many Armor points you can deplete with your attack.All your characters should have this stat on the highest level. A very important stat that makes Willpower points even more helpful. Exertion - determines the amount of Willpower points spend on a particular action.by having high morale or by using certain artifacts). This stat should also be developed on a regular basis but remember that Willpower points can also be gained in other ways (e.g. You can spend Willpower points on extending your movement reach, strengthening your attacks and using abilities.

Willpower - determines how many Willpower points a given character has.These characters won't die that easily when they get attacked by your enemies. All of your characters should have this stat at the highest level, even those who fight at a distance or serve as a support for the party. It determines the amount of damage dealt by a particular character and their amount of health points. Remember to increase this stat for your fighters and Varl - they fight in the first line and can attract enemy attention. Armor - determines the number of Armor points.With all that explained, let's move on to the game.The Banner Saga 3 has the same main stats as the previous games in this series: Once you've created your first TBS2 save file, you can go back to TBS1 and finish it with the other character so that you can start a second new game and import your second character for a second save slot. You will need to play through to the end of TBS1 with Rook or Alette as the survivor then import the save to begin your TBS2 run so that you create a save slot with them. While playing as Bolverk's caravan, try to buy as many decent items as you can to make Iver's caravan in TBS3 a lot easier.

Having Stravh's Bond from TBS2 is also highly recommended as it once again makes Alette almost unstoppable. When playing through TBS2, you can have a maximum of 1,000 Renown at one time so spend it and rank up a fighter or two if you're getting close to that cap. In TBS2 all of your characters start at rank 3, but all renown and kills from your TBS1 run will carry over. Only get them up to rank 2 (maybe 3 for Gunnulf and Iver for that extra power) while still spreading out kills as much as you can between them. During this playthrough, pick a few specific characters to focus on (I went with Mogr, Gunnulf, Iver, Egil, Rook, Alette, Oddleif and Truggvi).
