How to Get Early Reputation in Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn

Reputation is one of the core resources within Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn, which is purchasable for skills and character upgrades. What if I told you there is a way to get a solid reputation early in the game? Buckle up because here is an ultimate guide on how to get a Reputation early in Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn.

How to Get Reputation Fast in Flintlock

I have found an excellent method in Flintlock: Siege of Dawn to farm thousands of reputation points in the comfiest and most chill way possible. What’s the secret? Playing a board game called Sebo. This game, offered to you by Baz in an encampment—which lets you play against many characters in the cities and camps—is one to your reputation bonanza.

On winning a game of Sebo, you will get 400 Reputation Points. But do you know what is best? You can play it as many times as you want, thus making it a prime candidate for some serious farming. 

How to Play Sebo in Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn

The game’s rules are pretty straightforward:

• Movement: Each player can slide one of their pieces to an adjacent junction per turn. Another token must not occupy the new junction.

• Winning as Attacker: The attacker wins if they form a triangle (Rift).

• Winning as Defender: The defender wins if the attacker does not form the triangle (Rift) within the allotted turns (this number changes).

• Token Count: The attacker has four tokens, while the defender has 3.

As a Player, you will always start as an attacker. If you form a triangle and win that round, you must successfully win again as the defender to earn your 400 Reputation reward.

How to Play Sebo as the Attacker

Playing as the attacker is pretty easy. Often, the AI will play sub-optimally or even let you win. This movement pattern worked for me in most games:

1. Move the bottom token to the top-right corner.
2. Move the top-left token right.
3. Move the bottom-left token up-left and then up-right.
4. Victory by marching forward until the connection is made.

This pattern succeeds in about 80% of games. You still have enough turns to jiggle your way to victory even when it does not. Here are some other strategies:

• Central Control: Keep as many tokens in the centre line as possible. This gives you flexibility as these tokens can attack in all six directions around them.
• Multiple Vectors: Open up multiple attack vectors by keeping your tokens close to each other.
• Lock Down Opponents: Try to lock down the opponent’s tokens in corners or places they must guard, forcing them to move and giving you an advantage.

How to Play Sebo as the Defender

In most of the cases, playing the defender is easier. The clue to success is holding the centre line and not allowing the attacker too much manoeuvrability. This is how you do it effectively:

• Control Centre: Try holding the centre line to limit his space and options.

• Make Strategic Moves: Any token that will be moved should be checked to see if the opponent’s token can take its place in the next turn and finish the game.

• Non-critical Moves: Moves that do not advance the attacker’s goal. This includes moving a top token that is not grouped with the rest and a bottom token to a non-threatening position. 

Win at Sebo for Maximum Reputation

You’ll pick up on Sebo after a few plays, and it’s pretty fun. Not only will you get off to a good start with a few thousand reputation points, but it will also sharpen your strategic thinking.

Further Tips on Reputation Farming in Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn

While Sebo is an excellent source of reputation in the early stages, here are more tips on how to get more reputation overall:

• Complete Quests: Always look out for quests that give you reputation points. Focus on these first to increase your reputation fast.

• Explore Thoroughly: The game isn’t a rush, so take time and go around and see characters who may provide extra ways for you to gain a reputation.

• Upgrade Smart: Spend your reputation points on skills and upgrades that increase your reputation or make winning at Sebo easier.

• Join an Encampment: Camps are an excellent place to find people to play Sebo with. Make sure you visit them regularly.

Summary

Getting a good reputation in the early Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn stage can set up success. Master the game of Sebo and follow these tips; then, your reputation points will flow like anything else. So, go out there, challenge Baz and other people to a game of Sebo, and your reputation will soar!
