The journey to becoming a greatWayfinderisnt an easy one.
But every greatWayfinderstarted somewhere, right?Wayfinderis an MMO currently in Early Access on PlayStation and PC.
Its unclear when the full game will launch.
So, what are you waiting for?
Here areWayfinder: best tips for beginners to give you a glorious head start.
Some games may even allow you to change characters on the fly while playing.
Wayfinderis a different case altogether.
Youre kind of just stuck with them, regardless of whether you like them or not.
To give you a rough idea of which character to pick, each one has unique strengths and weaknesses.
They also have unique abilities, combat tactics, gameplay, play styles, equipment, and more.
Wingrave is your tanker and healer.
Hes perfect for those who like to get up close and personal with the enemy.
Niss is a silent assassin who likes to strike down enemies from the shadows.
For now, you could only unlock the above three.
Take the Time to Learn the Mechanics
Hack-and-slash games almost seem straightforward.
Its in the name.
You, well, hack and slash until the enemy pleads mercy.
Effectively, mindlessly smashing those attack buttons and bleeding the ground red.
InWayfinder, though, combat is a little different.
Youll find the mechanics a little slower and more methodical, perhaps more akin toDark Souls.
A quick tip is to learn your characters moves and weapons.
Particularly learning the opportune times to use the special skill sets to your advantage.
Also, learn the basics of blocking, parrying, and dodging.
you’re able to block incoming attacks using your shield and two-handed weapons.
Or parry using daggers.
But you’re free to also dodge attacks using Wayfinders special short-distance fast travel through enemies.
Take the time to enjoy this neon-filled weird fantasy delight thats incredibly polished, comforting, and inviting.
you might even take a step further to unlock Artifacts, which you might store echoes in later on.
Either way, they give you a boost in combat that youll definitely need down the road.
The best way to do so is to experiment with Echoes.
Level Up Wisely
Besides Echoes, another way to progress inWayfinderis by using the Affinity system.
Upgrading comes at the cost of your points, so confirm to choose which stat to upgrade wisely.
Affinity doesnt just end there.
Theres an Affinity Perk menu thats easy to miss, right at the very bottom of your screen.
When you pull it up, it shows each stats perks or special, powerful skill modifiers.
Some perks are already available to you.
However, others are unlockables that only become available once you reach certain milestones on the main screen.
So, feel free to experiment with every active and passive buff to find whats right for you.
