You hate to see it, everybody is untouched and I am dead. Image I overextended a little bit and got bombarded with Yeti's boulders. I tried to shield myself with Archangel but he was dodging boulders every time, and when I almost got out of range, Yeti got lucky turn acceleration from lucky charm and finished me off.

Tlaloc had pretty sexy entourage in that run, sadly it's almost impossible to recruit them when they spawn with Tlaloc. Image
So I killed them all.

Anyway, this is not the run I wanted to show.

Another variation of dark healer, but instead of drain spells I was using Snuff Out/Expel with reaper's mien. Without any resistance/weakness shenanigans you get 65 power heal whenever you execute an enemy, but with off up, def down and light or dark (mostly dark) weakness you can get pretty ridiculous amount of HP for killing enemies and then distribute it with draw wounds. I never figured out how complete build would look though. At first in addition to Snuff Out/Draw wounds/Reaper's mien I had Might, Vigor siphon, Vigorous, Diehard and Souleater. I decided to keep might after all because I didn't want to be dependent on demons to buff me and off up is always nice when your best source of damage are execution spells. I kept Vigor Siphon too as alternative type of attack. Diehard I replaced later with Expel because more Dark themed packs with dark resistance started to appear and I wasn't getting any use out of Diehard anyway. Souleater was pretty meh in early game, but when you start encountering big holy packs it really starts to shine, I was getting good chunks of HP from fallen Angels and Rulers, but during one nasty fight with a relic wraith I replaced it with Diehard :D just to stop losing max hp from relic preservation mode. But I forgot that souleater is pretty much impossible to come across in the late game so I had to stick with die hard, which actually really helped me in that fight and allowed me to tank quite a few hits without losing my maxHP. But after that I almost never was in danger of dying and Diehard felt useless. I decided to go with Twilight for CD reduction/lower SP cost and Ever ready in the end. Still wasn't entirely satisfied with it because at that point I had very high magic and with some help from buffs/debuffs I could finish off enemies while their hp is at more than 50% so reaper's mien wasn't giving me anything. I had to purposely wait for enemies to drop below 50% for those huge heals, instead of banishing and exterminating them left and right, thus reducing my combat effectiveness.
But overall that build was pretty fun, it's very satisfying to get 50hp heals when you kill an enemy.
I died to Valindra on Tower 22. Don't really remember the details of that fight, but main thing that killed me was my charmed Bigfoot who got to launch logs at me 2 turns in a row. :) After eating first log with my face I didn't bother to check his luck CD and restored some maxHP with a pure stone. But he got very lucky apparently and on the next turn I ate another and final log.

Some "interesting" mechanics.
Off UP makes healing spells heal for more (I only tested it with draw wounds though). It's probably very obvious thing, but I never realized it until now. Probably it's safe to assume that off down makes them worse. In any case I wonder if def up/down has any effect on healing target.
Image
Some weird bug with either maxhp drains vs die hard or with text log. It says Blob refuses to die twice, but second time it says it with red text and endurance CD actually gets popped.

That Sainted Druj Nasu in the "recently slain allies" came equipped with Wrath and Emit Lumin, both 70 Power attacks, but Wrath costs more, has longer CD and longer range. But Druj was using Wrath when enemies were in melee range, which was very inefficient.

Re: My first ghost on 20+ tower

Postby Ferret » Sun Nov 26, 2017 4:29 pm

Gluttony is a surprising omission from any drain build :D +50% drain effectiveness would be huge with Vigor Siphon and Reaper's Mien. :D But, it isn't available super frequently, and it's also possible you felt you were getting more than enough HP without it (though it'd still help with grabbing MaxHP via Vigor Siphon.)

I admit it didn't occur to me that Reaper's Mien would end up being something you had to work around due to being too high damaging. :D

Yeah, it's a bit undocumented (wince) but OFF Up and OFF Down definitely affect healing, since they raise the hidden "MagicPow" stat that both nukes and healing check. However, healing does *not* check the equivalent "MagicDef", so DEF Up and DEF Down have no effect.

Blob refuses to die twice because MaxHP draining attacks are usually two separate hits: one to HP, and one to MaxHP. Since it's two hits, it has two chances to pop Diehard (though since the damage is split between the two hits and the chance of Diehard popping is based on the damage of the hit, this works out to be pretty much the same.)

Wrath and Emit Lumin thing is weird. It should definitely prefer Emit Lumin against a melee target. I'll look into this and see what I can find out. :)

Congrats on a solid near-win run, and thanks for the report. :D

On the diehard blob thing: I forgot to clarify that when endurance cooldown gets proced, log should say "blob staggers, barely staying upright" but it didn't, instead it said "blob refuses to die" but in a different color. At first I didn't notice that and almost lost my blob because of that. It's a small detail, but can catch someone off guard into losing their demon.

Postby oneeyedjoe » Wed Nov 29, 2017 6:11 pm

Got an idea for a "challenge" run: just copy every ability from a unique demon of your choice and make soul armour out of them. I cheated a little bit because Headless has only 6 abilities, but at least those extra 2 do appear in his modifier.
Got up too 83k of credits, the most I've ever had by far, recycle is balanced :P .
Support cuts are decent, but it would be nice to see the active range of buffs/status effect removals on them.

Re: My first ghost on 20+ tower

Postby Ferret » Fri Dec 01, 2017 12:40 am

That's a neat challenge run idea. :D Huh... now it gets me wondering about game modes... ::scribbles in the idea box::

Yes yes, I know, Recycle is a little too awesome. :P A reckoning is coming... eventually. :P Luckily for you guys, I really can't afford to moosh anything else into this build, so it'll have to wait. :D

The support cuts're a tough case: they effectively have two ranges, and there isn't a really elegant way to UI that other than an outright hack. Maybe the easy fix is just make them range 8 so nobody worries about it anymore, but if I do that I probably need to raise the SP cost... maybe? I'll think about it. :D

Congrats on the special win, and thanks for the report. :D

FINALLY!!
Since my last post here I was actively hunting last demon for full completion. Took about 10 runs, most of those were actual wins, but Slenderman was refusing to spawn. On one of those runs I had enemy lure and used 4 trouble chimes on tower 20 with no success, but alas, game could resist only for so long and it is finally done (with a little help of a golden offering ;) ).

Summoner Jason...
was chosen by the Titan's Fist,
selected Slash and Healing as their starting elements,
has earned a score of 66305,
is currently at Tower:23,

MaxSP: 100

Strength: 81
Magic   : 4
Vitality: 74
Agility : 41
Cunning : 5

Immune: Body

Weak  : Electricity

Abilities Known:
1) Sure Slice (Type: Slash, 15 SP. 70 Power attack. Cannot miss.)
2) Ghost Pierce (Type: Pierce, 15 SP. 70 Power attack. Moves you to different, randomly selected, position adjacent to the target.)
3) Earth Break (Type: Impact, 25 SP. 70 Power attack.)
4) Bloodlust (Type: None, Passive. Restores SP per target damaged when you deal damage with Slash, Impact, or Pierce abilities. 5 SP for the first target, 4 SP for the second, etc. No further recovery after 5 targets.)
5) Malleable (Type: Healing, Passive. Improves natural HP regeneration and healing received (including from the Regen status effect) by 25%. Does not affect healing received based on dealing damage.)
6) Counterattack (Type: Slash, Reactive. 50% chance to respond to damage dealt to you by adjacent enemies with a 55 Power attack.)
7) Healing Factor (Type: Healing, Reactive. Bestows Regeneration when an attack reduces your health to 50% or less, restoring health over time. Cooldown: Factor (1))
8) Mobility (Type: None, Passive. Reduces the turn cost of movement and movement abilities by 30% if no Charge abilities are on cooldown. Cooldown: Charge (0))

This one was pretty simple: use ghost pierce to break through enemy lines and then smash. I kept sure slice just to counter any +evasion/-accuracy shenanigans because my agility was pretty low. Counter attack was a good source of extra damage because I was always surrounded by enemies anyway.

4) Crippler (Type: Dark, Passive. Provides a 20% chance for your Slash, Impact, and Pierce attacks to apply Hex, which reduces physical resistances (not immunity) by one level, and reduces physical damage dealt.)
5) Unconquerable (Type: Defense, Passive. Reduces Endure cooldown by 1 turn when damaged by enemies (excluding Ignite, Poison, and reactions).)
6) Heavy Guard (Type: Impact, Reactive. Responds to attacks by adjacent enemies that you block or parry with a 40 Power attack that has a 35% chance to inflict Stun, causing the target to miss their next turn. Cannot miss.)
7) Ready Block (Type: Defense, Passive. If your last action was a Melee or Direct range Slash, Impact, or Pierce ability, provides a 20% chance to block Slash, Impact, Pierce, Fire, Electricity, and Ice attacks.)
8) Parry (Type: Defense, Passive. Provides a 33% chance to parry Melee and Direct range Slash, Impact, and Pierce abilities if your last used ability was also such.)

My second win with eye of the dragon. Pretty straight forward build: shout at things, soften them up with hex and then eat them all.

I also tried another roleplay challenge. Vodun mask with Artemis build, but it died to a mirror chime :lol: .

Holy crap. :D Amazing! Congrats!

Adding 1 level to the Tower generally adds 1 XL to what you can gain, slightly more when using Enemy Lure. So you might very well be able to barely hit 35th. :D

Ignite can do pretty good damage on its own, and Firestarter pretty much cancels out Fire Resistance in terms of trying to apply it. All you need then is one of Fire's many relatively high odds Ignite chance spells and you're probably good to go. :D

:D Stormwalk as a way of focus firing huh? Yeah, I can see that working. :D Pretty good little battery build there, and yeah, it'd be even crazier with real spells (though Reprogram is pretty real :P )

I'll probably make a blog/twitter post about your win tomorrow night when I have a bit more time, if you don't object. I can reference your Twitch channel too if you like. :D Lemme know :D

Thanks for the report, and I'm glad you're enjoying Demon as much as you are. :D

I don't mind the post, put putting there my Twitch channel would be false advertisement as Demon is a pretty rare thing there. I will most likely try to stream it once matter update is out though.

Fair enough. :) I won't mention the Twitch channel for now then, but if you still plan to stream the Matter build once it's out, I can say something then. :D Thanks!
