The most powerful build in Divinity: Original Sin Enhanced Edition
- Turn 1 (Mage): Casts Midnight Oil under two orcs, then uses Wildfire on the Ranger. The orcs are slowed and now have the "Warm" debuff.
- Turn 1 (Ranger): Uses Tactical Retreat to a high perch. Fires a Static Cloud Arrow at the oiled orcs. The cloud stuns them, and the fire from the oil ignites the cloud for an explosion. Two orcs are now stunned and burning—they lose their turn.
- Turn 2 (Mage): Casts Fireball on the remaining two orcs, setting them on fire. Uses Teleportation (a utility skill any mage should take) to drop one burning orc on top of the stunned ones.
- Turn 2 (Ranger): Uses Ricochet to bounce an arrow off the clustered orcs, dealing physical damage to finish off any survivors.
3. The Polymorph: A Shape-Shifting Trickster
- Attributes: Focus on Polymorph skills, Dexterity, and Intelligence
- Skills: Shape-shifting abilities, such as Wolf, Bear, and Drow
- Playstyle: The Polymorph excels at adaptability, using their shape-shifting abilities to change their playstyle on the fly.
The Juggernaut (typically a Knight or Cleric starting class) focuses on physical tanking and earth magic. By investing in Strength, Body Building, and Willpower, this character becomes a frontline anchor. Geomancy provides spells like Midnight Oil to slow enemies and create oil surfaces, and Blessed Earth to heal allies and block cursed ground. More importantly, the Juggernaut uses physical knockdown skills (Crushing Fist, Battering Ram) to target enemies whose physical armor is depleted. This character does not need high Intelligence for damage; instead, its role is to control space, soak hits, and set the elemental stage.

The Inquisitor build is perfect for players who want to play a support character that can provide valuable skills and abilities to their party.
