Mistfall Hunter mainly uses the player’s skills and gear to dictate how strong you will be when you head out on explorations. However, there are a number of things you can do to buff your character and make them a little tougher, sturdier, or more functional on the battlefield.
Victory Wine is a concoction that is unlocked relatively early in the game and allows you to choose certain buffs that make you more capable on a temporary basis, as these buffs will fade after every round and need to be replenished.
However, the real science of this is choosing the right buffs to add to your wine, and depending on what you’re doing, this may vary. So, here is a breakdown of the best buffs to add to your Victory Wine.
Best Victory Wine Buffs For PvE Combat
Firstly, we want to list the tonics that will make you a little more dangerous when taking on in-game enemies. Whether that be standard enemies, Elites (the Elite Berserker that you face early on, for example), or terrifying mistlords (like Salmar The Cursed Moonwane). Here are the buffs we would suggest equipping:
Valor: Increases Attack. After Lv. 5, this also increases defense penetration.
Strife: Increases Melee Damage. This also applies to magic damage. Increases melee damage stacks after Lv.5
Ranged: If the target is 5 meters away when hit, increases physical damage and magic damage. Effective range increases at Lv.5
Tenacious: Increases Max Health, also increases healing effectiveness at Lv.5
Wealth: Increases Gyldenblod drops in PvE encounters
Best Victory Wine Buffs For PvP Combat
Next, we have the buffs that are explicitly beneficial against other human players in PVP combat and encounters. These fights tend to be a lot more unpredictable, so you need to try and use buffs to keep odds stacked in your favor:
Seeker: Hitting an enemy increases movement speed, stacks after Lv.5
Bulwark: Increases Block Damage Reduction Rate. Reduces Block Energy Cost after Lv.5
Resilience: Reduces the duration of debuffs received. Increases physical and magic resistance after Lv.5
Seamless: Decreases Skill Cooldown Time, knocking down a fellow Gyldhunter after Lv.5 grants a cooldown refund.
Elusive: Reduces Dodge Energy Cost
Best Victory Wine Buffs For Looting
If you’re not necessarily heading out into the world to kill and dismember, but are mainly on the lookout for rare trinkets, or simply want to complete quests, then you’ll want to focus on defense and functionality, as these buffs help with:
Deft: Increases interaction speed, and interactions cannot be interrupted by minor impacts after Lv.4
Vitality: Increases maximum energy. After Lv. 4, you become immune to stamina overdraft effects.
Elusive: Reduces Dodge Energy Cost
Aegis: Increases defense. After Lv. 5, it increases physical resistance
Ethereal: Increases Fall Damage Resistance. After Lv. 4, falling no longer causes Stagger effects.
Best Victory Wine Buffs For Trios
Then lastly, we have the best buffs for when you opt to explore with a Trio rather than going Solo. These buffs tend to focus on supporting the group and maximizing the benefits of effective communication and teamwork. Here are the buffs we would suggest:
Blessing: Increases the duration of buffs applied by you.
Brotherhood: While alive, all allies get increased defense. Can only be applied by one player in a group. After Lv.5, this also grants additional attack to allies.
