During Sony's State of Play showcase, BioWare showed off some dragon-busting Dragon Age: The Veilguard gameplay, with a mage character going up against multiple evil beasties. In a second trailer, the build used is dissected, and we can glean a little more about how power progression will work in the upcoming, expansive RPG.
The Rook in question is a level 35 mage, focusing on fire damage to exploit a specific dragon's elemental weakness. Wielding staff, dagger, and elemental orb, we see just one way the player character can stack the deck against enemies and overcome fearsome odds. Careful use of abilities will allow the player to exploit synergies and inflict status effects and maximum damage. You can check it out for yourself below:
