✦ Striking Abilities

Ocean Burst: strong big aoe attack that deal Crush damage with high Penetration.
Biting Winds o'Eld Nary: throw a powerful storm at enemies that deals Frost & Crush damage with high Penetration, that jumps from one to each another. You can empower this attack to make it even more devastating and more jumps.
Blast of Frost: inflicting Freeze damage on anyone caught in the Blast, good damage.
Watery Double: summon a clone of yourself. It has access to your low-level spells but also every accessory gear bonus abilities you have, and this build use alot of it. So this allow you two to both double down on damage or crowd control.
Call of the Restless (from Neck): Summon the Undead.
Minoletta's Concussive Missles (from Ring): Fires multiple missiles of pure force at the target, causing a shockwave dealing powerful Crushing damage to foes close to the impact. The more power levels you have, the more missles you can send out.
Fantastic Friends (from Wand): Summon 2 Drakes to fight along side you.

✦ Crowd Control Abilities:

Nature's Mark: apply a good debuff on enemies making them easier to target: -10 Deflection, -10 Reflex.
Chill Fog: apply strong debuff to every foe in the affected area which lasts for awhile (Blinded: -5 PER, Flanked, +100% Recovery, -10 Accuracy, ranged attacks range is halved). Thanks to Watershaper special you can put this on top of allies without hurting them.
The Shield Cracks: -2 Armor Rating of enemies in area of effect, when upgraded it duration is increased each time enemy takes damage so it can pretty much last forever.
Fear Followed Them into Foothills: a powerful hard CC that paralyzes enemies in the area of effect for a good duration (Paralyzed target can't take any action, they get -5 Dexterity & 50% of all incoming Hits convert to Crits).
→ When upgraded, after Paralyzation ends they will get Frightened (-5 RES, -3 Power Level, Can't cast offensive abilities). You can empowr this ability to make sure it connects and give enemies a long hard time doing anything useful at all.
Its Crashed could not be denied: a less powerful CC that stunt enemies instead of paralyzing them. But it's easier to hit than the one above.
Embrace of the Earth Talon: another aoe paralyze attack that has fairly long range and deal decent Slash damage. It's great to throw at enemies backline or double down on crowd controls to make sure enemies stuck in time.
Dread Howl (from Armor): Frightened enemies around you in a big area of effect for a good duration.
Tayn's Chaotic Orb (from Ring): throw an orb that jump from one target to another dealing crush damage as well as applying different type of debuff afflictions on the targets.
Garrote Choke (from Glove): melee choke an enemy into Paralyzation for a good duration.

Every constant healing powers of Druid work on top of each others, giving Tekehu great healing capability when he goes all out as HP would just keep pouring in. It also synergizes really well with builds that damage self or squishy builds.

Hej Sin Tee! I was wondering if it's possible to get a glimpse of the AI script (iOS user here)? Or is it also possible to enter the script somehow for Steam on iOS?

Kenpachi 30 Sep, 2019 @ 8:29pm

Thanks for the AI script dude!

Lampros 27 Sep, 2018 @ 5:55pm

Behavior editor set-up, please? ;)

Lost Sinner [author] 27 Jul, 2018 @ 6:07am

Extract the script to: \Username\Saved Games\Pillars of Eternity II\CustomAIBehaviors

Where do I extract the AI script linked in the youtube video?

Thanks very much for this (I have appreciated and enjoyed all of your builds). I'd be interested in seeing your take on him as a pure druid. I'm not personally fond of the Chanter class, and I find it to require far too much micromanagement. As a druid, Takehu could easily be a healer and striker (effectively replacing Xoti).

@japkh78: check the video description, i put a download link for Tekehu AI script there, steam blocked the download site here.

Soseman 8 Jun, 2018 @ 6:28am

I prefer to give him Lord Darryn's Voulge (poleaxe) and focus on his aoe lighting abilities. To be honest that weapon and Tekehu are a match made in heaven. :)

japkh78 6 Jun, 2018 @ 12:58am

Hi, Can you please provide some AI script for this character? Thanks
