Best Faction: Antivan Crow

The Warrior class in Dragon Age: The Veilguard is best at absorbing damage through its shield and generally can take more hits before dying. This class can also equip two-handed weapons, making attack and defense versatile in the game.

The Warrior is easily the most balanced class that is good at attacking and defending. However, sometimes you need a little extra health or health potion to stay in the fight for long. For this, the Antivan Crow faction is best for the Warrior class in Dragon Age: The Veilguard.

The Antivan Crow gives you one extra health potion from the get-go. This is incredibly useful if you play Dragon Age: The Veilguard on Underdog, Nightmare, or Unbound combat preset. All three of these difficulties will increase the incoming damage and enemy aggression, and the extra potion of Antivan Crow faction will be a useful addition to your gear.

Best Faction: Shadow Dragons

The Mage class is the master of casting various spells to steal enemy health, unleash elemental attacks, and cast lightning spells. With all these amazing spells, you will need as much Mana as possible, and that is why the Shadow Dragons faction is the best pick for the Mage class in Dragon Age: The Veilguard.

Without enough Mana, you will not be able to cast some of the best spells in the game onto enemies frequently. Shadow Dragons, besides regenerating class-specific resources more quickly, is also a better pick lore-wise.

Best Faction: Veil Jumpers

The Duelist, Saboteur, and Veil Ranger are sub-classes of the Rogue class, and the best faction for these, without a doubt, is Veil Jumpers. This class’s ranged damage only gets better if you deal most of your hits as increased Critical or weak point damage.

Landing critical hits isn’t easy in the game, but you can boost your damage output by using the Veil Jumpers’ crit or weak spot damage buff. While this doesn’t increase the frequency of your critical hits, the enhanced damage itself is a great asset for the Rogue class, making each hit count even more.
