Sword of Convallaria (SoC) - Iggy Build, Hilltop Hero
Iggy is often overlooked in Sword of Convallaria, but with the right build, he can become a formidable force. This guide will show you how.
Iggy shines as a Breaker in Sword of Convallaria, especially when positioned on high ground. His Gray Wolf trait provides a significant attack boost. While his complex mechanics can be daunting (that’s why he landed low on our tier list), careful build customization and mastering his gameplay on varied terrains can unleash his full destructive potential. Make sure to check out our other builds on Col, Momo, Nungal, Magnus, Maitha, Gloria, Faycal, Dantalion, Inanna, Beryl, Alexei, Rawiyah, Samantha, Edda, or Garcia or see our Skill Tree of the Best Characters.
Best Skill Set for Iggy in Sword of Convallaria
Iggy, with his trusty spear, has a nice alert skill that can damage any enemy entering a 2x3 area. With the right build, he excels on diverse battlefields. Here’s the ultimate skill set for him:
- RK1 – Mountain Tribes. This passive skill grants Iggy +1 movement when his HP is full. Additionally, he deals increased damage when attacking from, or moving to, a tile two levels higher. This complements his trait well.
- RK3 – Gray Wolf’s Leap is a great instant support skill that grants him increased critical damage for 1 turn if he jumps to the target location. After that he can perform another action. On the other hand, Haunting Preparation (a passive ability) matches nicely with his trait. With this, Iggy can recover 10% of HP and gain Highland status regardless of his position. If he defeats an enemy, he recovers 1 energy point. Both are very helpful, so choose one that matches your playstyle.
- RK5 – Preempt. With this reaction, Iggy strikes back when being actively attacked from front or side.
- RK7 – Luxite-Dust Smoke Bomb deals Magical damage to all enemies within 2 tiles from Iggy and inflicts 3 stacks of Infection, and reduced movement for 2 turns. After casting, he can move any remaining movement points.
- RK9 – Invigorating Strike enhances his basic attack and additionally recovers 1 energy point.
- RK11 – Behemoth Hunting is powerful single-target attack dealing massive damage. If the target’s max HP is higher than Iggy’s, his Crit chance is increased by 60% and he gains Shield Break II before attacking. If that skill is performed when he has Highland status, he basically becomes unstoppable.
Legendary characters are the ultimate goal in Sword of Convallaria, but don't let that discourage you. Epic heroes like Angel, Tempest, Crimson Falcon, and Abyss can form the backbone of a powerful team. Check out our guides to learn how to maximize their potential.

Been with gamepressure.com since 2019, mostly writing game guides but you can also find me geeking out about LEGO (huge collection, btw). Love RPGs and classic RTSs, also adore quirky indie games. Even with a ton of games, sometimes I just gotta fire up Harvest Moon, Stardew Valley, KOTOR, or Baldur's Gate 2 (Shadows of Amn, the OG, not that Throne of Bhaal stuff). When I'm not gaming, I'm probably painting miniatures or admiring my collection of retro consoles.
