All Pacts in Soulframe and Their Skills

Quick Answer

• 12 published pacts in Preludes 15 (incl. Wyld variants) — each has 3 Arcanics (skill names on individual pages at /pacts).
• Which pact should I choose? Match your starter weapon Virtue — Courage → Tethren, Grace → Sirin, Spirit → Oscelda. Use the Which pact should I choose? block on /pacts plus the pact selection guide — your starter is not permanent after Tuvalkane Bond 3.
• Wyld variants (e.g. Wyld Tethren) count toward the 12 — not extra pact slots.
• Unlock paths: Garren Rood after Torment Stag; Ode Tempest for Ode'n gear — craft/swap at Tuvalkane Bond 3.
• Full pact index & tier list: /pacts.

Which pact should I choose?

Soulframe pact choice is a Virtue + playstyle decision, not a permanent class lock:

| If you want… | Start with | Then unlock | |--------------|------------|-------------| | Melee bruiser / Courage weapons | Tethren | Garren Rood after Torment Stag | | Stealth, bows, Grace kits | Sirin | Orengall (Shewolf Snared) | | Spirit casting / support | Oscelda | Bromius (Waste Bear) · Ode Tempest |

Decision flow lives on the /pacts index (choose block + tier table). This page lists every pact and unlock path; pact selection walks beginners through the first pick.

All Pacts in Soulframe and Their Skills

Each Pact grants three Arcanic abilities tied to Courage → Spirit → Grace. You can equip Arcanics from other Virtues, but scaling follows your stats. Pact choice determines your ability pool, not your weapon or armour — you can swap weapons freely while keeping your Pact.

Starter Pacts (early game)

| Pact | Playstyle | Sample build | |------|-----------|--------------| | Tethren | Melee bruiser | Tethren melee | | Sirin | Stealth / bows | Sirin bow AoE | | Oscelda | Spirit caster | Oscelda support |

Mid-game unlock

| Pact | Unlock | Notes | |------|--------|-------| | Garren Rood | Torment Stag | Spirit control, factions — recommended for co-op support builds | | Bromius | The Waste Bear fable | Physical damage, Ode-themed abilities | | Orengall | The Shewolf Snared fable | Summoner, wolf companion — pairs with Juniper bow builds |

Endgame Ode line

| Pact | Notes | |------|-------| | Ode Tempest | Oden weapons + Tempering — late-game scaling |

Preludes 15: several passive Pact Arts were renamed (e.g. Forestall, Stalwart, Glimmer, Redoubt) — see Pact Arts P15 before you respec.

How to unlock non-starter Pacts

1. Complete the associated fable or boss encounter (Torment Stag, Waste Bear, Shewolf Snared).
2. Reach Tuvalkane Bond 3 — required for all non-starter pact crafting.
3. Farm the pact-specific fragment (e.g. Garren Rood Pact Fragment) from boss encounters.
4. Craft the pact at Tuvalkane in Nightfold.

Browse every pact page on Pacts index for skill names and fragments. The hub lists 12 published pacts (including Wyld cosmetic variants).

Builds and respec planning

Pact choice locks your Arcanic kit, not your gear — browse community builds filtered by pact before you spend Tuvalkane materials on a second weapon. If you are still on a starter pact, compare Tethren, Sirin, and Oscelda pages for exact skill text before committing Bond 3 crafts. After Preludes 15 renames, cross-check Pact Arts P15 so your loadout notes match the client.
