[edit] Stefan, Fighter Henchman
Nation: Ascalon
Profession: Warrior
Armament: Sword and Shield
Armor: Warrior Tyrian Armor
Stefan is available for hire from Ascalon City onwards until Thunderhead Keep, where he is replaced by Devona.
[edit] Location
- Ascalon (all towns and outposts)
- Shiverpeak Mountains (all towns and outposts except Deldrimor War Camp, Marhan's Grotto, and Thunderhead Keep)
- Maguuma Jungle (all towns and outposts)
- Crystal Desert (all towns and outposts)
[edit] Skills used
From Dragon's Lair on and in Hard Mode:
"Charge!" (replaces Sprint)
[edit] Evaluation
As with all henchmen, Stefan will attack whatever the party leader is currently attacking. Keep this in mind if you're using effect-on-hit skills (such as Mark of Pain) to maximize your body counts. Be aware that if not already fighting, Stefan immediately engages any enemy that attacks a party member, be it by ranged attacks, spells, or melee. This, of course, means that he will rush right into the middle of an enemy mob, drawing the attention of more enemies. If he is your only frontliner, keep him alive at all costs, as he's the one who'll be trying to soak up all the physical damage.
Pros
- Has a fair survival rate in combat.
Cons
- Has sub-par offensive power; attacks are weaker than Little Thom.
- Has pathing issues around corners when enemies are in the way (similar to melee enemies trying to attack spell casters in the party). If trying to reach an enemy around a corner/bend and there is another foe in the way, he will often be stuck in that foe and do nothing. The problem with this is that while stuck he will not heal himself or use stances, so he becomes a softer target.
- Although he gets "Charge!" later in the campaign, he does not use it often.
[edit] Dialogue
- "Are you here to just talk, or is there some real bravery in that gut of yours? My sword is sharp, my shield is strong, and I'm itching for a good fight. Are you going to stand there all day, or are we going to go find some trouble?"
