It's a nice ability, but there's a strong competition among cantrips, and I'm not really comfortable drawing health from my summoner. Can't put myself in the relic if things get hairy after all. :) Still, it's what I'd go with if I didn't get a lucky Flash Heal.

Either way, things didn't go so well for my poor healer.

In the end, I had to flee from that glitch. After battling them for some more time, I almost killed chaos, only to see it get healed back to full. That's when I knew it was time to go.

On my way out I met Paracelsus, and being me, I had to fight him. And it got me thinking, watching my kasha guilt others and sustain herself from that. Having just one kind of healing, as much as I leaned into it, just wasn't enough, so I needed more sustain and I needed different kinds of it.

Had to retreat from Paracelsus too, I started strong, but then ran out of SP.

On T:6 I could catch my breath and try to rebuild. After getting a lilim and giving her auras and guilt application, I rummaged through bodies, finding - of all things - pink whisper! Charm is invaluable so early on, even if I have to get in melee for it.

Around that point I also found a gandayah, to try to fish for Vital Spells and\or Lifeweaver through fusions.

T:7: Feeling a lot more confident in my build, I got a nice stormsworn ilomba, but there was no place for it in my party.
There was, however, a place for a icesworn Stymphalides. Strong and fast bird, fun to play with, but not tough at all. Now that I think about it, for a tanky build I really didn't pick any tanky demons at all.

On T:8 I saw a mandrake. With 3 abilities I could use I immediately went on to recruit it, fusing gandayah with it and not getting anywhere with that. Still, now I had a reaction to blast people with, an ability to restore my SP, and an area of effect attack with a debuff attached! Things were looking up.

Then I went to Turdak's Sanctum. And hoo boy. Hoo boy. That was a big mistake on my part.
I met some hands (akatekos), who simply outdamaged my healing. I pushed on, undeterred, meeting Turdak himself. He wasn't too difficult, but his bodyguards were. In a long, drawn-out fight, acheris siphoned most of my maxHP, and I had to resort to pure stone to survive.

Some time later, I found druj nasu. Feeling some dread, I decided to link with one; it'd make the ensuing fight easier, and I could use infection to the great benefit. So, I beat down other three demons. I just had to kill two more.
There were no enemies left on this floor. Oops. Fortunately for me, I had items I can use!

After the link expired, I used a peace offering to make it less surly, linked up again, and then used ghost chime. Surely I could punch the enemy summoner and get druj nasu at the same time!

It was Queefer, and he had a lot of demons. Initially I had an upper hand, severely wounding a few of his demons and forcing him on backfoot. Then I killed him. It wasn't a good thing.
There were seven demons, all decked up. 5 of them were sleeping, but it was cold comfort, for akateko was still crazy strong. It healed all damage we could dish out, and kasha deciding to hang back and guilt the sleepers didn't quite help. Even ordering an all-out attack didn't seem to change her mind. Then again, maybe I was just panicking at that stage :D

Either way, the others started waking up, and uh... didn't go pretty for me.

I officially hate being weak to dark now. Maybe I'll pick up a different element next time, something like Fire. I think Pyre Rite, should I find it, would mesh well with general healing and guilt\bloodthirst.

Yeah, it definitely will put you at a bit of risk if you used heavily. :)

Guilt's a pretty solid heal source. 10% HP return per standard turn is pretty huge, and it only gets better with multi-hit attacks (whether it is multi-hit on a single Guilty target or hitting multiple Guilty targets at once) and/or free action attacks. Even by itself it can buy another turn or two for the attacker, and it works great alongside other healing sources.

Pink Whisper is a lucky find indeed. :) Good control effects can pair nicely with healing too, since it limits the damage you take.

It's a little late for this time, but many "kill X enemy" links will let you take the demon to another dungeon floor. Granted, if you're short on time, you may not be able to make it to another floor + find another encounter, which sounds like it may have been what happened here.

Running away from an unexpected/unwanted enemy relic explosion can often save your life... though it would be difficult with a fast demon like Akateko already awake and nipping at your heels. :(

Still, not a bad run. :) Any run that makes it past Anomaly is doing pretty good. :D Thanks for the report, and good luck on your next play!
