That's even better than 3*3 area, it's gonna have some neat implications. One of which is sublimate and it suuuuucks. 15 of your SP and one turn for 10% of enemy's current SP, why even bother. And you have to chill them first too. What if sublimate was -10 SP flat at least. Also I thought of a little change to frostbite, what if it would reduce SP by Power/10, flat. That way sudden chill with frostbite won't be so OP and powerful single target spells will be able to dry key targets out of SP more easily, instead of killing them before SP thing even matters.

Ruler was cheating with his lightning bolt and kept hitting me through that corner. Didn't manage to capture the right moment with lightning animation, but you still can see it from his position and event log that he hits me when he really shouldn't.

I went ahead and bumped Sublimate to a 20% drain. Chilling isn't that hard, mind you, but it did seem a bit weak for one of the few SP drains that does no damage, even if it is a friendly fire proof AE.

Frostbite I'm happy with as is, for now. :D

Hmm... that Ruler thing is not technically a bug... but I can see why it felt like one. I'll see if I can fix that without busting my LoS/LoF code up in some other frownier way. :D

I think I played with most of the new abilities enough to form an opinion on them.
Auras. Most of the defensive auras aren't that great, cleansing and relieving being the worst. Maybe stacking them on 2-3 demons is worth something, but 1 aura isn't going to do much. Mostly because most body effects are very easy to apply and keep reapplying, also demons who use them often don't have much else to do in terms of abilities. Also poison can stack and some packs can stick poison+ to your entire party in one turn and then just keep refreshing it. I'd rather use one turn to remove poison++ so enemies would have to build it up again than have its duration lowered a bit. Poison and infection last for quite a bit also, so maybe if aura would remove 1 tick of duration instead of 0.5 it would be more attractive. Relieving aura suffers from similar problems. Melting in its nature is very easy to apply and held stacks. Blind gets countered well though, unless your aura bearer gets blinded. And that's another thing - auras get disabled by things they are supposed to counter. With plain cure abilities at least you have a chance to use it properly when you are under some control effects like panic or paralysis. Not being so easily countered would be a good selling point for auras. (The only exception when aura isn't disabled while direct cure is is muted absolution).
Calming aura is decent-ish, even though it also gets shut down by all the effects it suppose to remove (not sure about charm though). In one run I had Maj Ehlose with iron mind and calming aura as the only calmer for a while, it was pretty good. Normalizing aura is specifically good for anomaly against Fotias and Paracelsus. Didn't feel the need for it in other places. Absolving and uncursing auras looked fine, didn't use them myself though. Uncursing aura must be especially good against brief debuffs.
Healing and vigorous auras are pretty good. 2-3 is enough to see the difference and unlike duration shortening auras these are useful at all times.
I think auras are more suited for wild demons rather than summoners. You probably won't give Infectious to each and every one of your demons, but fighting packs of 4-5 demons who can reliable infect you isn't that uncommon. It works other way around too - giving cleansing aura to everybody isn't really worth it, but when you meet pack with 3 Neroes in it it will be hard to keep them poisoned. And on practice auras actually showed themselves far more useful in fights with other summoners.

Offensive auras are far more interesting, not all of them though. Accursed, zealous, foul and dispelling are in a good place. 8% is good enough for effects that last 5 turns and have some impact on the fight. Dispelling aura counters cries and self buffs really well even without being stacked. Also pretty good against big packs with buffers, keeps them more busy. Fearsome aura... it exists, I guess, didn't use it myself, didn't see much difference in fights with Chachapumas so can't say much about it. Combustive aura need a bit of an increase in odds. 8% for a brief DoT is meh and fire already has abilities with sky high ignite chances. They may require you to use 1 turn, but they also give you control on whom you are going to ignite. Shocking aura has similar issue because Volt Call is a thing, but it can work with some shock chance stacking so I'll give it a pass. Chilling aura though... Ice already has plenty of ways to chill everything you can see. Yes, Sudden Chill might be expensive and you have to actually use it, but it's guaranteed chill on everything. Chill effects isn't even that good, it's main advantage is that you can stick it to anything that isn't ice immune without any problems.Chilling aura just doesn't fit in that theme. And 15%, come on.

Iron stuff are good at what they do, I even used Iron core in one of my builds where I had Profane Ruhin soul armor. I think I got shocked like 5 times total in that run (which was a win btw). Iron mind is good against packs of Oni. Some are more useful than others of course, but depending on your build each one has its uses. They probably were meant to be combined with auras for maximum efficiency, but isn't that a bit too much of a commitment just to counter some status effects?


Panacea. It is great. I wish AI wouldn't use it to remove 1 debuff though. Haven't been screwed by that too much though so can't complain yet.

Light stuffs. Are also good, especially with miens. Can be incredibly powerful yet not too powerful. Their cost made sure of that.

Shortened duration of agony made Adria really dangerous. She does about 40 damage to "normal" targets with her smites, weak to dark will have a really bad time against her. Haven't seen Charliss but it's probably safe to say that he is even more of a jerk now too.

Not much to debate on the defensive auras: they were designed assuming you'd stack them. :D That's the trade-off, more or less: stack them on multiple demons and you get protection from that element's status type, without having to pay SP or spend turns like you would with direct removal, but at the cost of using up more total ability slots. As you noticed though, some are good enough to use even in one copy.

I'll look into reducing the circumstances which disable auras; they probably are getting disabled by too many things at the moment.

Offensive auras (auras in general really) are definitely new ground in terms of balance, so I'll probably take another pass on their apply %s soon-ish as I figure out more about how powerful they actually are in practice. I was trying to be cautious, especially with Ignite (since it's a damage-dealing aura) for the first swing, so any adjustments will probably be in the + direction.

Iron + Aura stacking is expensive, but on the other hand, if you end up with only one weakness, it's one of the status effect elements, and you can spend two ability slots to basically become almost immune to those status effects (with the bonus of providing some protection to your allies too), that's not so bad. This'd be particularly true with Mind, which tends to do low damage, so the one thing about a weakness an "Iron Aura" setup doesn't protect you from (extra damage) doesn't matter much anyway.

The AI will use Panacea to remove 1 debuff if it is feeling flush with SP, thinks it is about to die and should stop worrying about SP costs, or the debuff is dire or causing a dire situation, but yeah, it shouldn't be doing it often.

re: LastSamurai build: Work (and, if I'm being honest, Dragon Quest 11 :P ) have me a bit tied down, but I haven't forgotten about the Execute issue, I'll look into that sooooon. :D

Thanks for the feedback and reports. :D

About that issue, if you try to hit healthy allies with execute you will miss every time, but still gain SP for bloodlust, maybe that'll help locate the problem faster.
Can some of the Iron passives unintentionally get their user focus-fired more often? AI would see the low duration on status effects and would try to refresh it every turn.

Yeah, I've got a pretty good idea what's wrong with Execute and friends now, and that example is in line with it. (Basically, I told Execute and similar abilities to "use the best of two"... the problems being I didn't remember that instant death AI evaluation is intentionally slightly inaccurate, especially when level differences are present, and I also forgot what that'd mean if you tried to use it on ally.)

I wouldn't call it unintentional, but yes, Iron passives may cause the AI to try to continually re-apply some effects, if it REALLY wants the target to have that effect.

I started an orb run a couple of weeks back and just finished it, it was full shock build with storm lord and some expensive things. For a while I was running with haste, stellar nova and snuff out, later I replaced them with gaudium, lunar nova and pink sign. Gaudium is pretty amazing for tier 2 spell, despite its exp based CD you can use it once per encounter without any problems. Again, I wish there were more floors to the tower, I'd like to try miracle based build with channeler and wellspring but you get this stuff so late in the game. Hmm, let's say I have lux, gaudium and wellspring, if I use gaudium first I will get wellspring CD, then I will use lux and gain miracle CD, the question is: can I use any miracle ability once wellspring CD is cleared but miracle CD isn't? Will there be miracles for other elements? Damage and all status effects won't work with all elements though so there is an opportunity to get creative. Mind could mess with targets' cooldowns or make them forget some abilities completely for a short time, matter could mess with resistances, etc.

Nova abilities are pretty good, especially when you can spam them infinitely thanks to galvanize/storm lord and 105% to shock with fully powered volt call. Blasts however look way weaker. For almost the same cost you only hit 3x3 area and only the middle point gets the full power, Novas are way better option for most, if not all, situations. That's only in theory though: in all my runs I haven't seen a single demon with light orbs yet (they are orbs, right? I just assumed that judging by their icon lol).

Missing Pele and Ionic Jinn with lightning ball and some +shock passives; I lost them to a ghost chime. That stormwalking hunter Eloko was fun, I wanted to give him eat alive instead of leech bite since he'd be close to shocked enemies most of the time, but shoggoths refused to show up.

Second run was all vitality heart. For the first part of the game I had all buffs except haste and some passive healing/defense. Later I replaced all buffs with gaudium, panacea and meditate. And before tower 20 I got mysterious unicorn from a ghost, rolled revelation on it once and got inspire. :D Really good pick, exactly what I wanted for that build. Oh and I had nuppepo since anomaly; got soothe host and heal wounds with revelation from it. Another high level demon who ended up carrying me was charun from turdak's sanctum. For the last few floors all my strategy turned into "cast gaudium, inspire charun, remove debuffs if necessary, keep inspiring him". I also had 2 unicorn with me, I kept the mysterious one with inspire and fused nuppeppo onto the second one. Charun with all available buffs and double inspire was unstoppable until the end, although on the last floor enemies started catching up in levels and stats so he wasn't as powerful as before. I got wild dance in the end just because I could I guess, it also fit into my cheerleader theme. :) Noticed a little bug with SP coloring: the number turns red when you cannot use an ability because it's still on a cooldown, even if you have enough SP to use everything. Maybe ritualist passive has to do something with it too.
Would be nice if abilities that remove debuffs warned you if you are about to use it to remove nothing. Don't know about any specific ones, but panacea doesn't warn you. And because I was running with unicorns, occasionally I used panacea on a target who just got panacea'ed already (skipped too many animations and didn't notice how debuffs got removed). So yeah, a little warning when you are about to remove 0 negative effects would be nice.
Why mass speed up cry isn't a thing? We got slow host, dolor, gaudium to mess with everyone's speed, but no brief mass speed up?
And a random question: what kind of build will have hostile titan's fist summoner and where in the tower will he/she appear?

Congrats on the wins. :D

There will be more floors, someday. I'm always torn between new features and new content... eventually content has to win though, if only because I'll have all the features done. :D

Yeah, Gaudium being usable once per encounter is intended. It's not so good for fighting off debuffs or very long fights, but it can get you a good burst of buffs immediately and that it does very well.

To answer your first question: Wellspring absorbs a cooldown you are able to gain if it can, but it doesn't change existing cooldowns or cooldown types required by abilities. Therefore, if Wellspring isn't on cooldown, but Miracle is, you won't be able to use any Miracle cooldown abilities, even though Wellspring is available.

Undecided on Miracles for other elements: long cooldowns is kind of a "priest" thing in Demon, and that usually means Light/Dark/Heal/Buff/Debuff. Not completely opposed to Miracles outside those elements, mind you, just explaining why I haven't done it already. :D

Burst vs.Nova: You're right that there might be an issue here, I'll take a look before the next build release, which should be soon incidentally. (It was originally going to be today, possibly, but got a bit more mired than I thought on the Execute-related bugs.)

I'll look into the issue with the SP coloration too: that's a new feature, so not surprised there might be some edge case issues. :D

I'll also look into debuff removal warning on no targets. No promise that'll make the next build, but it's on the list. (We're very close to a build release, and that one might be a bit awkward of a fix, so I don't wanna hold a build for it if it gets thorny.)

Speed up cry will eventually arrive. :D

I don't know the answer the titan's fist enemy summoner question yet. :D I'd need to be further along with the upgrade revamp build to know that sort of thing: I usually do the details of encounter design fairly late, relatively speak, in a build cycle.

Congrats again on the wins, and thanks for the report. :D

Couldn't win my first run on the last update unfortunately, still got far enough. Tried to carefully maneuver among Jayle's sleeping demons because I wanted to recruit her spicy baleful raiju with stellar nova, cruel touch and emit void. Then got charmed and on the same turn my healer got put to sleep.

Really like this update so far, summoners with consume demon are not obnoxious waste of time and resources anymore, I don't have to waste half of my credits on restore demon, early game isn't boring anymore, you can't just demolish everything with powerful AoEs early on. However, I will say it again, relics should have more variety in starting abilities among each other. Even their sprites kind of suggest what type of build one or another relic is suited for. Like, it doesn't make sense that a guy with immense strength can use divine powers or heal or that pale looking dude with a glowing hand shoots needles. Since first ability is granted by relic itself it should reflect the general idea of a build for this relic.
Not sure how I feel about 10s in all stats from the start. On one hand it really helps in the early game if you find some good random abilities from corpses even if you are not planning on building further for them, on the other hand if you already have a build in mind and it absolutely doesn't need a certain stat (agility, magic and cunning can be absolutely useless in some build) then you can end up having up to 27 (or 30? not sure if stats can go down to 0) stat points not even contributing to your build. That's slightly over 5 levels worth of stats.
Homunculus is... interesting, however I can see myself getting bored of starting with the same familiar every single time. Would be cool to have about 5 unique starting demons with different modifiers.
Demon preservation is fairly balanced. It doesn't make your demons immortal and gives safe net for risky plays in case thing go terribly wrong. Full recovery of maxhp takes a fair amount of time so you can't just throw your guys at enemies again and again, even with lifeguard and deathmarch.
No weaknesses/multiple same demons - didn't really used those features yet except that one time when I fused unicorn onto unicorn, it was quite convenient.
