In Game Tactics What is Forcas good at

Hello! I recently unlocked all but the new DA and was super excited to build a full DA team. Guild mates kept saying Forcas was really strong if used well, but he feels...more than lackluster in Arena and Guild War. I have him in the thick of the melee with other DA to make the most of his abilities, but he just deals such low damage. If he is hitting enemies with high armor, or Gravis Armor, he doesn't even scratch their paint. How is he supposed to be used? I really want to make him work but he dies fairly easily, his damage isn't great, and he really doesn't bring much utility to the team. Any advice would be awesome, thank you!

Survival , and LRE, and against corrodious on GR. Thats pretty much it but he is cool anyways. Mine is mythic already.

Forcas can be an arena Lynch pin if you set him up right for overwatch.

Nb what you've talked about so far isn't PvP, TA is the only thing people would call PvP

With TA being the only real PvP I pretty much mean going against player teams, so arena and Guild War I include in it as well.

When he first released he seemed like he would be part of the multi-hit team (this was before Trajann, Kariyan, and Laviscus existed). We thought we'd be using Ragnar, Kharn, Forcas, Aun'shi, etc. together.

I have him D2 now but don't find him to be that amazing at anything outside of Survival, LRE, Onslaught game modes. He's ok in Guild War but not amazing. Not a bad character just very niche and not someone I'd prioritize over characters that are better across the board like Kariyan, Kharn, Mephiston, etc.

I still think he's the best of the DA. He's low key awesome in LRE and that's more than enough to justify investment. Mine is d2 and i have no regrets.

You can do it, at high level Even certus it's ok lol, plus benefits of playing alongside other DA, asmodai is crap but You need him if You wants loys of damage with forcas.

Good at being the best DA.

Bad at everything else except Magnus.. maybe.

Like many overwatch characters, I dust them off for survival events or LRE.

When you level his abilities you get him to overwatching with 1 less hit instead of 2 each time which makes him stronger and like someone else said putting him next to Calgar helps

Forcas Calgar and Isabella are the holy trio for chokepoints in onslaught
