Leadership

leadership

Leadership grants +2% dodging and +3% to all elemental resistances per level.

Leadership is a combat ability in Divinity Original Sin 2. 

Leadership Notes

  • Leadership is best used on close-range resilient characters in support of other close-range damage characters, due to its short (8m) range.
  • Adding it to a tank or shield-based build is ideal as the already healthy character, who doesn't necessarily need the bonuses of other skill trees, can provide Leadership's benefits to their squishier allies.
  • The character building Leadership does not receive any of its benefits.

      Thing with resistance and dodge/block is they are absolute, so closer are you to cap the higher return you get per point but its obviously try for opposite.

        Closter to the absolute the more worth in point invested. So having higher starting values is best before thinking on investing.

          Probably not that good, but I can imagine it would be funny to have 2 lone wolves max this out to make each other absurdly tanky. Probably works best with dual wielding dwarfs.

            With level 20 leadership (10 invested and 10 in gear) you give 60% resist to all friends, with a mere 40% to all resist not they are immune to all elements.... call that useless xD? (You can go way beyond 100% resist with leadership making you heal instead of taking damage, if not decaying of course).

              Seems like it could be good on 4 man ranged party, especially with Dome of Protection.
              As for who would invest 10 points into this combat ability? Probably a dedicated support Summoner, after he maxes out Summoning.

                "Leadership is a civil ability in Divinity Orginal Sin 2."
                Is it? Is it really? Here I thought it was a combat ability and that Original had 2 "i" in it.

                  In the Definitive Edition, the range has been increased to 8m. May not change much, but hey, improvements.

                    Leadership is a total waste of points, the points are so few that they are far better spent on other skills. They overnerfed the skill, I would have understood it if they had kept the LOS requirement for it to work and made the range 13m and 15m if one had the far out man trait. But 5 meter?! Seriously.. It's ruined.

                      If they deleted Leadership tomorrow, would anyone notice? Lol.
                      Pitiful range and doesn't work on the character who takes it. Now if it affected the leader, I could easily see this as an amazing tank stat.

                        If I have two characters with leadership abilities, will they each character receive the others leadership skill?

                          This is kind of a worthless talent, in my opinion, after they nerfed it to 5M down from what used to be the entire screen. This is especially true in higher difficulties where you must split your party up in order to win fights. This might work if you wanted to play with four melee characters but there are very few encounters in the game where enemies are bunched up. You're probably better off just investing points into primary talents.

                            i have a leadership 9 and a leadership 1(due to armor) character and everyone aside from the 9 char has the leadership 1 buff. seems like a bug.

                              This will not stack if it is on multiple characters. Only the highest level will be received, but at least all characters can get some form on leadership buff.

                                For those attempting a Lone Wolf play through either solo or with one companion, this will -not- buff the character go puts points into it.
