Tactical guidance

Playing Thief

The thief is a class that steals things, whether it's small objects, magic or a grand robbery.

Their infiltrate ability lets them sneak into magically guarded places without raising any suspicion.

With Quick Getaway, you are able to escape from pursuers when you use it after Feint or Disengage. If used after feint, you can effectively more for 5 AP in 1 turn which lets you move faster than the enemy. Even against groups, they will never be able to catch up and attack in the same turn without movement abilities of their own.

Fast Hands can also help with escaping, allowing you to open or close doors without using AP on them. It can also just let you draw a weapon or consumable.

Snatch is a situational ability that makes it impossible for enemies to use consumables against you when you are close to them. If you are able to close in on an enemy before they can draw their weapon, you can even steal that.

Spellsteal is another situational ability that lets you steal a buff from the enemy. It removes the buff from the enemy, so even if you can't use it very well it may still be worth using.

You attempt to steal an effect from the target, removing it from the target and applying it to yourself for the same duration, provided you meet the requirements (if any). You must pay mana equal to the effects original mana cost. Effects granted through stances, transformations and permanent effects cannot be stolen. After stealing an effect, you can’t use this again until the stolen effect has ended. The stolen effect also cannot be re-applied on the target until it has faded from you. You must have seen the effect be applied or otherwise identified an effect before you can steal it.
