In this comprehensive guide, we will explore how to create an optimal party composition in Wasteland 3, ensuring synergy between characters and covering all necessary skills for successful gameplay. Although combat is essential, other skills play a vital role in achieving triumph.
Party Composition Overview
Wasteland 3 has 16 Non-Combat Skills, and to cover them all, four of the six party members must choose one Combat Skill and three other Skills. To ease this process, create a separate party member that stays at Ranger HQ, focused solely on Weapon and Armor Modding.
Besides custom characters, Companions must also be considered within the group. This guide will discuss early Companions, Lucia Wesson and Marshal Kwon, which will aid in fitting other Companions.
Lucia Wessen and Marshal Kwon Skill Sets
Lucia and Kwon have different Skill sets, with no overlap. However, there’s room for improvement. For example, Lucia can shift Weapon Modding to a character in the HQ, while Kwon can refocus Sneaky Shit elsewhere, reallocating wasted Skill Points.
Mid-game recommendations for these characters include:
- Lucia: Small Arms (8), Barter (7), Survival (6)
- Kwon: Automatic Weapons (7), Kiss Ass (7), Leadership (7)
Lucia works well as a Shotgun Build, whereas Kwon thrives focusing on SMGs or Assault Rifles with elemental damage.
Additional Builds
With the previous Companions fitting two weapon types and four Non-Combat Skills, you now need additional builds to cover the remaining ten. Consider the following:
- Reckon Rocketeer: Small Arms (7), Explosives (7), Sneaky Shit (7)
- Drunk-Fu Fighter: Melee Combat (8), Animal Whisperer (7), First Aid (6)
- Fantastic Firestarter: Big Guns (7), Weird Science (6), Toaster Repair (7), Mechanics (7)
- Standard Sniper: Sniper Rifles (7), Lockpicking (7), Hard Ass (6), Nerd Stuff (7)
These builds will cover all necessary Non-Combat Skills, providing a balanced and powerful team.
Final Tips
This guide offers a strong foundation for a successful party, but feel free to customize as needed. Adjust skills, redistribute points, and optimize the group for the situation at hand.
If you’d rather keep Weapon Modding on Lucia, add Armor Modding to Drunk-Fu Fighter or another character at HQ to free up points for your primary group.
Lastly, introduce new Companions gradually, ensuring they complement your existing members. Don’t be afraid to create new characters, adapt and experiment as the game progresses.
