<br>That customization is key even when working within the game's prebuilt character classes. While it is truly a mix-and-match system, there are ways to maximize abilities to fit an archetype, filling out a valuable role in the party. For some, the best place is on the front lines as an armor-clad knight, for others the back lines as a spell-slinging sorcerer. Some, though, prefer to mix it up, to strike from the shadows, and leap back into the dark as soon as the damage is done, keeping the enemy ever on their toes. This is the art of the rogue, the stealthy, sharp striker class that excels at both damage dealing and unmatched mobility.

Dwarf characters work very well - the inherent racial boost of +1 to sneaking saves point commitments later for an ability that is nearly necessary for the positioning-heavy rogue playstyle. Elves are also quite effective; though the Loremaster bump is something of a write-off, the Flesh sacrifice skill is incredibly useful and pairs well with the Rogue's Adrenaline skill to either take the edge off the subsequent AP drop or to set up an action-heavy round.

The exceptional mobility provided by the class makes them uniquely suited to maneuvering around enemies to get the big pop of extra damage from a backstab. Simply move into the radius behind the chosen enemy (depicted as a triangular field with a dagger icon) and attack as typical. It is important to note that not all abilities benefit from the backstab position - check to make sure that the chosen attack makes use of the boost to ensure that AP and recharge time are not being wasted. Rogues can also be quite effective at a distance, but many scoundrel skills rely on being up close, so it can be wise to just keep a ranged weapon on hand for a tight situat<br><br> <br>Larian Studios has been routinely updating **Divinity Original Sin 2 ** with more quests and content.

On top of the starting skills of Adrenaline, Throwing Knife, and Backlash, some solid early picks for the Rogue are Gag Order and Rupture Tendons. These two work together to fill in what are some of the small gaps in the class; Gag Order allows magic users to be silenced, allowing the player to cut down on a primary source of ranged danger and level the field into a physical fight, while Rupture Tendons causes ongoing damage while the effected enemy moves, punishing any pursuit of the rogue.
