How to link your Ashes of Creation Intrepid account with Steam

Ashes of Creation launched in early access on Dec. 11 as Intrepid Studios made the alpha available on Steam.

While the early access has been launched on Steam, the version was already available on Intrepid’s official website. If you already had access to the alpha version, you can just port it over to Steam and play from there.

This guide will list all the steps required to connect your Intrepid account with Steam.

How to connect your Intrepid purchase of Ashes of Creation to Steam

This method applies to those who have already purchased the game via Intrepid, or if you decide to purchase from there in the future. Completing the following steps will allow you to connect your Steam accounts so that you don’t have to purchase a second copy.

• Go to the official website, and log in to your account where you’ve previously purchased Ashes of Creation.
• Navigate to Account Settings.
• You’ll find a Steam account available among all the connection options.
• Click on Connect. A pop-up will open that will take you to Steam.

• A new prompt will require you to sign into ashesofcreation.com (while your Steam account is connected)
• Click on ‘Sign In’ and wait a few seconds for the process to complete.

If you started playing Ashes of Creation like I have (early access on Steam), you can also connect it to your Intrepid account.

• Launch Ashes of Creation from Steam, and you’ll find a Link Account option. Click on it, and it will take you to Intrepid’s official website.
• Either create a new account or sign in to your existing one.
• Sign in using your Steam account. If this step fails, retry from the beginning.
• Authorize the link and wait for the process to complete.

Once done, you can resume playing normally using the launcher.

Ashes of Creation has a pretty extensive class system that determines how you play the game and clear different content, and it will largely depend on whether you’re engaging in PvP or clearing all the content solo.

The early access version is available on Steam and offers eight classes for you to try out. All eight classes have their own unique playstyles, strengths, and weaknesses. However, the best choice will vary based on whether you’re going for solo play or PvP.

I will list down what I believe to be the two best choices for both modes.

Best Ashes of Creation classes for Solo

Solo play in Ashes of Creation is slightly tricky in my experience. While all eight classes can work well in the correct hands, there are two of them that just work very well for me.

• Cleric: Much of your problems disappear if you don’t die at all. The Cleric’s kit makes it very hard for you to die if you’re using the abilities well. Both Divine Flare and Deliverance provide massive heals, allowing you to survive the deadliest of attacks. Smite and Juggernaut add enough damage potential for you to damage enemies at will. This is arguably the safest choice you can make if you’re playing Solo.
• Summoner: The reason is quite simple. You play on your own, but you’re never alone. Most of the work will be done by your summons, aka pets. They will tank, do damage, and even heal based on what you’re summoning. You can serve every role possible with the Summoner class, which makes it a decent choice.

Best Ashes of Creation classes for PvP

Compared to solo play, you’ll have to be more strict with your class choices if you want to stick with the meta. Here are my top two choices when you’re facing other players.

• Fighter: The good old Fighter class is an excellent choice for PvP. Its biggest strength is excelling in close-range combat. It will be immensely beneficial if you can close down on enemy players before putting them down. The Fighter can also heal itself with the help of Blood Fusion. The kit also offers a stance-swapping feature, allowing you to change things up based on the situation of a battle.
• Cleric: No surprise that what I consider to be the best class in Ashes of Creation is amazing in PvP. If you’re fighting in a team, the importance of heals rises further. In PvP, you’ll want to use the Cleric in a sustained role, and your job will be to keep the team alive (unlike Solo, where you’ll also have to do damage).
