Crit-based builds work great with this Talent, as Warlord enables characters to get +2 AP whenever they land a Lethal or critical hit.

Before agreeing with Malady to set sail to the next chapter, absolutely make sure you have reassembled your dedicated party. In the following cutscene Ifan, Loshe, Sebille, Red Prince, Beast, and Fane will perish if they are not currently recruited, as well most of the Seekers. Only Malady, Gareth , and Tarlene (if saved) will remain.
