YAVP: Titan's Fist, Slash and Electricity

[Ferret]

Yeah... I could see where that might still happen. It's a tricky bit to write AI for.

I mean, I can see where some builds might happily plop their SP down to 0 Refreshing guys, even if they have an ability or two that needs SP and are simply choosing not to use them in favor of Refreshing.

Of course, one of the keys to trigger the AI Refreshing you is... not having enough SP to use all your abilities. Which is normally a great rule. But.. not always, as it turns out. Writing rules to try and figure out the player's intent based on their build/actions is always a tricky business, and in this case it may be effectively impossible to get it right.

So what I did do was add what should be a hard lock that won't allow the AI to give SP to someone who themselves gave SP away last turn... but extending that lock more than 1 turn starts to enter dangerous territory where the player may now, in what is a different situation 2+ turns later, really want that Gandayah to give the SP back.

All that said, your solution may actually be the best one: If you plan on funneling a lot of SP to a character, you probably should not let them have Refresh themselves (after all, if you really want the SP to go somewhere else, you could just send it yourself anyway.)

[Sandman25]

Consider deleting Refresh from your Gandayah. If you don't, your Gandayah will often Refresh you after you Refresh it, wasting of 10 SP for no benefit (since it costs 5 SP to cast Refresh). Teach Refresh to someone else if you want to hold on to it.

Thank you, good idea!

I think I will disband the Charged Peta (initially I wrote Pita ), I am afraid of monsters with electro attacks and they often have rElec themselves so electric attacks from my demons will be the least useful.

[Sandman25]

I killed Artemis on T:5...
That's nasty, a pack of 2 Ukobach with Pink Wisper and 2 Huo Shi with Pink Wisper too, they charmed me for at least 3 turns. I unsummoned Gandayah with Calm because it was really low on life

[Ferret]

Oof. Fire heavy group gets Charm, and your Calm guy was weak to Fire. That is some weapons grade RNG evil right there.

[Sandman25]

Yes, the game seems much harder than before. Also I don't remember guys with electric ranged attacks so early (I found two more such groups). It is a fun build when it works, those Blobs were killing themselves. But many fights are too dangerous despite my high Vitality (putting 1 Str, 4 Vit for several levels).
Got 2 more Veils, now I need about 400 credits to Soul Armour with that Kasha (4500 credits, that's expensive indeed), though perhaps I will get a new level in next fight:
I met Zajdi (hero with Regenerate, +50% SP regen and 85% melee attack for 10 SP), probably I will go for attack.

[Sandman25]

I think there is a bug, I was able to hire level 16 Shoggoth on Anomaly 3. I am level 8...
I sacrificed 2 allies, gave a healing stone and 25 HP, moved closer alone, that's still too cheap IMHO. Now I have Dazzling Veil and an ally with more HP than me and the ally resists Ice (I resist Fire/Elec/Dark/Light).

That's no bug. Shoggoths have a very small chance to appear in the Anomaly.

Is it really too cheap? Sacrificing 2 allies is a big deal for most parties, I would expect, unless they're setup such that they usually have 1 or 2 "temporary" allies around. This is harder to do if you have the base 6 slots, and if you spent upgrade(s) on Capacity Up (which you did) in order to fix that, then I would argue you were just reaping the rewards of that choice.

There are other "rare spawns" like this running about too in other places, by the by, not just the Anomaly.

Worst case, think of it as Demon's version of finding a really good artifact really early. It won't happen every game, but it will make life a bit more exciting when it does.

[Sandman25]

I see, it is working as intended. Ok then, I am happy it is not a bug and I can continue playing

I guess I should put points into Magic/Cunning, those veils can be useless soon. Agility is not used for veils because they always hit, right?

[Ferret]

They'll never become entirely useless even with no Magic/Cunning: they'll just drop to around 75% effect. Not great, but you might be able to live with it if you really want to go full Vit or Str/Vit.

Agility is actually oddly unhelpful: not only do Veils not use it since they always hit, it will raise evasion and cause more attacks to miss you: misses don't trigger most veils. Though on the other hand, you can also use this to control the rate at which you take damage, making it easier for your healers to keep up, so maybe it isn't all bad?

[Sandman25]

75% is probably fine indeed. It explains why my Vitality does not help much vs those charm/ignite/poison attacks. I basically skipped turns when fighting with Blobs who had Poison Veil despite being resistant to Body as every my attack wasn't doing much damage but was increasing level of poison in my body, got to 2 levels before realizing it is a bad idea to keep attacking.

When I used Soul Armour on Kasha my HP went down from 74 to 70, do you use different HP factors for different starting relics? I mean if I was Orb of Power who took Soul Armour on level 5, would my HP go up instead? Or did I lose HP because I lost resistance to Body?

Very interesting build, quite powerful and with unique playstyle.
