Party Synergies & Combos 🔥

Every combo below is drawn from the current (rebuilt) Level 7–8 player guides. Click any character name to jump to the exact ability on their guide. The party's builds changed significantly, so these replace the old smite/bard/warlock-era combos.

Advanced Combat Combos

1. The Concentration-Breaker Lockdown (Keyleth + Shadier + Gootcha)

  • Setup: Keyleth marks the enemy caster with Hunter's Mark and attacks twice; her Mage Slayer / Concentration Breaker makes every hit force a concentration save at Disadvantage (see Keyleth, Mage Slayer Feat).
  • Layer 2: Shadier holds Counterspell (DC 18) for the enemy's big spell and uses Magic Missile to auto-break concentration (see Shadier, Control / Counter).
  • Layer 3: Either caster drops Silence (Keyleth 2nd-level / Gootcha 2nd-level) on the enemy mage to shut off Verbal-component spells with no save.
  • Payoff: Enemy spellcasters lose their buffs, summons and control almost immediately.

2. The Control-and-Punish Zone (Keyleth or Karma + Shadier)

  • Setup: Keyleth casts Web or Entangle (DC 16), or Karma casts Entangle (DC 16), to restrain a cluster (see Keyleth, Battlefield Control / Karma, Control/Debuff Spells).
  • Combo: Restrained = auto-fail STR and grants attackers Advantage. Keyleth's Gathered Swarm push (DC 16) slides escapees back into the area each turn.
  • Payoff: Shadier drops Fireball or Storm Sphere (DC 18) into the trapped cluster for maximum value.

3. The Faerie Fire Alpha Strike (Karma / Keyleth + party)

  • Setup: Karma or Keyleth casts Faerie Fire — the whole party gets Advantage on the lit targets and invisibility is cancelled (see Karma / Keyleth, Control/Debuff Spells).
  • Combo: Gootcha converts that Advantage into a guaranteed Sneak Attack (4d6 necrotic) and Alexios buffs strikers with Bless.
  • Payoff: Coordinated focus-fire with everyone hitting at Advantage.

4. The Anti-Heal Execution (Gootcha + party)

  • Setup: Gootcha's Reaper's Strike makes a Sneak Attack Necrotic AND stops the target regaining HP until her next turn (see Gootcha, Sneak Attack); Chill Touch does the same at range.
  • Combo: The party dog-piles the no-heal target — devastating against trolls, vampires, and self-healing bosses.
  • Finisher: If the foe has cheated death before, Gootcha spends a Soul Token → Reaper's Verdict for a maximized auto-crit to delete it.

5. The Ancestral Bunker (Xanphina + Alexios)

  • Layer 1: Xanphina attacks the priority target while raging; Ancestral Protectors gives it Disadvantage vs everyone but her and grants allies resistance to its damage (see Xanphina, Ancestral Protectors).
  • Layer 2: Xanphina uses Spirit Shield (reaction, -2d6, or -4d6 vs dragons) to cut big hits to a squishy.
  • Layer 3: Alexios's Warding Flare imposes Disadvantage on an attacker and hands the target temp HP; Bless / Bane swing the math further (see Alexios, Defensive Abilities).
  • Payoff: A nearly unkillable front line with Xanphina's 101 HP and rage resistance anchoring it.

6. The Concentration Protection Stack (protect a key concentrator)

  • Layer 1: Xanphina Spirit Shield reduces incoming damage (lower damage = lower save DC) and Ancestral Protectors gives the attacker Disadvantage.
  • Layer 2: Karma Protection from Energy grants resistance to an expected element (see Karma, Healing/Support Spells).
  • Layer 3: Shadier Protection from Energy / Intellect Fortress, or Alexios standing near for support, further buffer the caster.
  • Payoff: Spirit Guardians, Web, Slow, or another concentration spell almost never drops.

7. The Battlefield Command Drag (Alexios + reach/OA party)

  • Setup: Alexios uses Battlefield Command (reaction, 1/LR) to force an enemy to move up to 15 ft, ignoring opportunity attacks for itself (see Alexios, Reactions).
  • Combo: Drag a foe off a downed ally, into Keyleth's Web/Entangle, or into Xanphina's 10 ft reach (Garmok's Flail) for a punishing opportunity attack.

8. The Stealth Strike Opener (Keyleth + Gootcha)

  • Setup: Keyleth casts Pass without Trace (+10 Stealth to the party, 1/LR free; see Keyleth, Utility Spells).
  • Result: Gootcha reaches roughly +20 Stealth and the party gains a surprise round.
  • Payoff: Gootcha opens with a guaranteed Sneak Attack (Steady Aim or Advantage from surprise).

9. The Hex of the Fated Combo (Gootcha solo signature)

  • Setup: Gootcha casts Hex of the Fated, naming an ability (e.g. WIS); the target now has Disadvantage on those saves (see Gootcha, Subclass Magic).
  • Payoff: Her follow-up Cause Fear / Tasha's Hideous Laughter (and the party's WIS-save control like Alexios's Hold Person) land far more reliably, plus +1d6 necrotic on every hit.

10. The Save Bonus Stack (Alexios single-target rescue)

  • Setup: Alexios's Aura of Protection (allies in 10 ft, +5 to all saves with CHA 20) plus Bless (+1d4) keep allies' saves high (see Alexios, Support / Healing Spells).
  • Note: Shadier no longer has Bardic Inspiration (she is now a Wizard), so the old +1d8 Inspiration layer is gone; lean on Xanphina's Rally the Line (reroll a failed save, 3/LR) and Karma's Eldath's Sanctuary (end a condition) instead.

11. The Buff-a-Striker (Shadier / Karma + Keyleth)

  • Setup: Shadier casts Haste (+2 AC, extra action, double speed) on a frontliner like Xanphina (see Shadier, Buff / Defense).
  • Combo: Karma casts Flame Arrows on Keyleth, adding +1d6 fire to her next 12 bow hits (see Karma, Damage Spells (3rd-level) — it explicitly names Keyleth).
  • Payoff: Layered, slot-efficient damage buffs on the party's best weapon users.

12. The Heal & Revive Chain

  • In-combat pickups: Alexios Healing Word (2d4+5, bonus action) and Karma Healing Word (1d4+5, bonus action).
  • Sustained: Karma Aura of Vitality (2d6/turn) and Healing Spirit (see Karma, Healing/Support Spells).
  • Anti-death: Alexios or Karma Revivify (1-min window), with Gootcha's Soul Token → Queen's Veto (reaction, heal a dying ally to half) and Stolen Vitality as emergency insurance (see Gootcha, Soul Tokens).

13. The Investigation Dream Team (Shadier + Gootcha)

  • Shadier: passive Investigation 21 (Expertise + Order of Scribes Scholar).
  • Gootcha: passive Investigation 19 (Expertise + Reliable Talent).
  • Effect: The party almost never misses clues, traps, or hidden mechanisms. (Note: Shadier's passive Perception is only 9 — let Karma or Gootcha watch for mundane ambushes.)

14. The Slow / Banish Boss Strip (Shadier + Alexios)

  • Setup: Shadier casts Slow (DC 18, up to 6 foes: half speed, -2 AC, one action) or Banishment to delete a boss phase (see Shadier, Boss Fight Day loadout).
  • Combo: Alexios adds Banishment / Hold Person / Command to neutralize a second threat, while strikers focus the slowed boss.

Buff Stacking Guide

Maximum Save Bonus (single target):

  • Alexios Aura of Protection: +5 (CHA 20, allies within 10 ft)
  • Alexios Bless: +1d4 (avg +2.5)
  • Xanphina Rally the Line / Karma Eldath's Sanctuary: reroll / condition removal as a backstop
  • Total: roughly +7 to +8 average on a save, before rerolls.

Maximum Attack/Damage Boost (single target):

Maximum Survivability Stack:

  • Xanphina Rage (resistance to physical) + Ancestral Protectors (Disadvantage on attacks) + Spirit Shield (-2d6 / -4d6 vs dragons)
  • Alexios Warding Flare (Disadvantage + temp HP) and Aura of Protection
  • Karma Wild Shape (+21 temp HP) for self-tanking; Gootcha Blessing of the Raven Queen (resistance to all damage after a teleport)
  • Result: a front line that is extremely hard to drop.

Notes & Strategy Tips

Combat Priorities

  • Alpha Strike: Karma/Keyleth open with Faerie Fire; Alexios casts Bless; focus fire at Advantage.
  • Lock Down Casters: Keyleth (Mage Slayer) marks the enemy mage; Shadier holds Counterspell; either drops Silence.
  • Protect Squishies: Xanphina attacks the priority target (Ancestral Protectors) and holds Spirit Shield; Alexios's Aura gives +5 saves in 10 ft.
  • Resource Conservation: Shadier uses cantrips/item spells for routine turns; Gootcha spends rogue slots freely; Karma uses 1 Wild Shape per serious fight.
  • Emergency Buttons: Xanphina Relentless Endurance, Gootcha Uncanny Dodge / Queen's Veto, Karma Wild Shape, Keyleth Guarded Mind.

Frequently Overlooked Abilities

  • Alexios: Spirit Guardians (walk through enemies); Radiance of the Dawn is no-slot AoE; Warding Flare; Battlefield Command; he is the new party Face (Persuasion +8). No more Divine Smite, Vow of Enmity, or Extra Attack.
  • Gootcha: Reaper's Strike anti-heal; Hex of the Fated + control combo; Cunning Strike (Trip/Withdraw/Poison); Soul Tokens. No more Warlock Pact Magic, Hellish Rebuke, or Wails from the Grave.
  • Karma: Elemental Fury (+1d8 every turn in Wild Shape); Flame Arrows buffs Keyleth; concentrate while Wild Shaped; Staff AoE ice.
  • Keyleth: Mage Slayer Concentration Breaker (two hits = two saves at Disadvantage); Gathered Swarm push DC 16; Web/Entangle/Silence control. Melee is dead (STR 10) — she's a ranged controller now.
  • Shadier: Counterspell, Slow, and Haste swing fights; Elemental Adept makes Fire reliable; Memorize Spell adapts the loadout; items cast spells for free. No more Bardic Inspiration, Cutting Words, Iron Rebuke, or Song of Rest — she is now an Order of Scribes Wizard.
  • Xanphina: Spirit Shield (-4d6 vs dragons); Ancestral Protectors works vs breath weapons; Graze deals damage on a miss; Rally the Line; Restraining Ward. No more "Savage Attacks" extra crit die.

  • Tank: Xanphina (Ancestral Protectors, Rage, 101 HP), Karma (Wild Shape)
  • Striker: Gootcha (Sneak Attack + anti-heal), Keyleth (bow + Hunter's Mark)
  • Controller: Shadier (Slow, Counterspell, Web), Keyleth/Karma (Web, Entangle, Faerie Fire), Alexios (Hold Person, Banishment)
