Hedge knights are technically "the best" heavy melee in terms of potential but they're so, so expensive and having the right talents is uncommon enough that it's usually a waste of money. Squires are a bit better and only a little more expensive on average.
I just tend to avoid the ones carrying expensive equipment but I usually hire them if they're under 1k. Militia is one of my favorites as they can be affordable but have more boosts to their stats than cheap backgrounds. Originally posted by Toxic Toast:Any backgrounds to avoid in general? In my last few runs Iv'e been jumping on militia when I see them, with some.success I think. Sellswords (and Hunters) have the best potential for hybrids. Farmers and Hedge Knights have high HP/Fat base which is good for Forge. Assassins and Thieves have high starting Initiative which can be good for those kinds of builds. Idk about hiring guides, but I'll add this.īest "cheap" backgrounds (in no particular order): Thief, Brawler, Farmer, Wildman (sometimes).īest "premium" backgrounds (in no particular order): Hedge Knight, Swordmaster, Adventurous Noble, Sellsword, Hunter, Assassin.Īlso depends what you are trying to hire for. Try-out is recommended, as they can come with some nasty traits like Asthma. Not generally a go-to premium hire, and too expensive for very early game, but they can be decent options in the early to mid game if you can find one for cheap and need a reliable hire for a backliner or Banner candidate. Can reliably make for reasonable polearm bros, and can handle frontline jobs with some mind to workaround their weak hp/fat.
They are like worse Swordmasters but a lot cheaper and more common.
