Best Starting Faction in BRIGANDINE ABYSS

What Is the Best Starting Faction?

No official source declares one faction universally easiest. A beginner-friendly start is compact, has understandable objectives, and can form multiple balanced troops without exposing every base. Story Mode is the natural comparison set because its six nations provide guided campaigns.

Key Takeaways

• Prefer manageable borders over maximum early territory.
• Check whether the roster forms legal troops within command cost.
• Use the live difficulty indicator.
• Match development and exploration to the first objective.

Beginner Selection Checklist

Count exposed borders, then count leaders who can command useful monster groups. Review nearby enemies and the first campaign goal. A faction with strong individual units may still be difficult if its army starts dispersed or every movement opens another invasion route.

Choose the campaign whose first several turns you can explain: which base develops, which leaders explore, which troop attacks, and which units defend.

Beginner Faction Decision

1. Start with Story Mode unless a specific Mission Mode objective is the reason you are playing.
2. Count simultaneous border threats before comparing the size of the starting territory.
3. Confirm the roster can form at least two useful troops within each leader's displayed command cost.
4. Prefer a first objective that leaves one force available to defend after the opening move.
5. Follow the beginner first-turn checklist after choosing; use Best Faction for the broader mode-dependent comparison.

This decision process is deliberately criteria-based because the official sources do not establish one named faction as universally easiest.

FAQ

Is the strongest faction also easiest?

Not necessarily. Geography and objective clarity often matter more for learning.

Should I pick by story preference?

Yes, if that motivates a full campaign; just review the live difficulty and borders first.

Can Mission Mode be a first campaign?

Yes, but its specialized objectives add another strategic layer.
