Overview

This Orengall build focuses on pairing the extra Grace provided by the Orengall pact to boost damage thanks to the use of Grace weapons. With the two wolves the Orengall can summon, this allows you to tackle all PVE content in Soulframe and do well without needing a party, being more than capable of killing off bosses with ease while taking down enemies one by one or using the wolves to deal damage while you sit back.

Virtues

Primary

Grace

Secondary

Courage

Focus on improving Grace with all virtue points you are getting as you level up your envoy as that is your main damage increasing stat, however, you can also spare 10 points into Courage if you want to try out different, Courage weapons. Also worth keeping in mind that Howl scales with Courage which boosts your damage if you use a Courage weapon instead.

Skills

Orengall

Werewalker: This is an incredible skill for moving as it turns you into a wolf for a limited time but keep in mind that your character is left behind until you attack out of the wolf form. Also, attacking an enemy while in wolf form executes most enemies, dealing very high damage so try to use this to instantly kill enemies.

Packhunter: This skill summons a spectral wolf, using it a second time summons a second wolf. They attack nearby enemies on their own and defend you but you cannot control them eventhough they do very good damage and cannot be killed.

Howl: Use it to boost your damage and smite chance, increasing the overall damage you do. Use this in the beginning of fights to make it much easier and always try to capitalize on smite procs.

Sympathy

Focus on getting Soulbound up to boost damage when your wolves and allies are around (sparrow also counts), Feral is good for the occasional mob kill it provides while Akin helps keep Howl active as much as possible. And of course, Saphene's Gift is fantastic to boost damage while Everbound is a nice max HP boost to help with defense.
