Hello all,

I am looking for recommendations for building Tekehu for my upcoming Deadfire playthrough. Some questions:

Do you usually go Watershaper Druid SC or Theurge? Or maybe Stormspeaker SC?

What weapons and equipment would you recommend for Tekehu?

Any talent recommendations?

Thank you!

Imo the best "power gamer" option is to go single class Druid. This way Tekehu just gets the best selection of spells, including the foe-only bonus spells he gets on level-up and also Great Maelstrom (which is incredibly powerful).

The most potent item choice (from Power Level 8 on, but it's aöso great before PL8) is to use the Great Sword Effort, enchant it with "Hemorrhaging" and use it to attach Avenging Storm procs to all your spell crits.

Here is an encouter where I cast only Tangelfood + Avenging Storm:

And here I cast Avenging Storm + Great Maelstrom:

If you want a detailed explanation why/how this works you can read it here:

Another good option is to use Lord Darryn's Voulge as a "casting stick". It gives you nice power level bonuses to all storm spells.

 

The most powerful set for Tekehu is, in my opinion, SC Stormspeaker 

Of course there is many way to build him without the inconvenient to be overpowered, and druid / chanter doesnt require a lot of micro-mangement to be efficient, but Tekehu is the only one to have access to The Ranga and, in this sens, is really interesting. So this is a overvitamined version of this particularity exploited in this topic.

I think Tekehu is the strongest companion whatever you build him, anyway only-foes chill fog is insane and you don't wanna miss the shark spiritshift
