Elven Curve Blademaster

Elven Curve Blademaster

Sasaki Kojirō and Sephiroth fans rejoice: the elven curve blade is Kingmaker’s equivalent of a nodachi. Powerful versions are readily acquirable throughout the campaign, with Bane of the Living as the ultimate option if you can defeat the hidden Astradaemon. While categorized as Finesse Wielding, elven curve blades are also two-handed weapons and benefit from the 50% bonus damage of Power Attack.

This build combines Power Attack, sneak attack, and critical hits to inflict effective damage. It obtains the Iron Will feat at level 5 to mitigate dangerous mental failure, and the Blind Fight feat at level 15 to negate invisible enemy shenanigans. All remaining feat choices are dedicated towards the elven curve blade, Shatter Defenses, and late game dual wielding for Allslayer. While the obvious endgame weapon is Bane of the Living, inclusion of two-weapon fighting for an Allslayer in each hand provide attacks that devastate enemies immune or regenerative to Harm.
