Choosing a patron deity

The game asks you to choose a deity once you’ve answered your five questions and slightly altered Denam’s stats. Your selected deity’s element becomes Denam’s element until you change it with an elemental mark at some point in the game.

Tactics Ogre: Giga Tempest

Whichever element you choose for Denam, you can use the same-type weapons and spells to achieve even greater power. The different elements each have their unique strengths and weaknesses, which might somewhat strengthen or weaken your characters depending on the situation.

Unsurprisingly, there is no “wrong” answer in this situation. Their dualistic nature is off the table because you cannot choose Light or Dark. For elementally-infused weapons and spells, there are more than enough alternatives to make any suggestion practical.

And that completes our guide on Tactics Ogre tarot questions. If you’ve answered 5 tarot cards and chosen a deity, you might want to take a look at our article titled Tactics Ogre Reborn routes (Law, chaos, and neutral) explained.
