re:STR- Full STR becomes especially attractive with soul armor builds like this because VIT gives you less bang for your buck... though I'm admittedly firmly in the 'dead enemies can't deal you damage' camp, as evidenced by my frequent high magic builds. I've yet to run a veilVIT tank myself...

Re: absolution- I had it on another healer but I usually don't bother with Absolution at all, preferring more SP management for healers. Guilt and Pariah aren't too hard to just bruteforce your way through with better-built demons and better tactics, and silence and hex are rare and depending on positioning and what demon ate it, not necessarily crippling.

Charm/Panic on the other hand... You need that off you ASAP and you can't necessarily rely on your pure stones like you could with Absolutionable effects.

Played a shock build with high cunning and raicho speed, was pretty good and finding a lucky ball lightning made it REALLY good
Image

Lots of enemy packs got stunlocked to death by high speed ball lightning spam & bolt chain, it was pretty great. Before I went full lightning I had expose and lucky charm/lucky aid as backup for fighting lightning resistant foes. I did get to the point where I could shock even elec resist foes though.

While having shock get applied as a regular thing was amazing, it was pretty much just a nuke build, but based on cunning rather than pure magic, which was interesting. My mana was basically infinite so I went for refresh. I ended swapping out Tireless for Dragon Soul because I thought it might work for SP calculations for Full Power but I wasn't at all sure... in any case I stayed around 100SP all the time anyway so it was really hard to tell if dragon soul was working or not, so I thought I'd ask you.
Also would dragon soul protect you from stuff like Somnia wave? :?:

Anyway, some possible bugs

Galvanize give SP through Infection

You can use a Wind Card to teleport away from mordecai without losing the link

I died to 2 pelesit and polong because of my raicho soul armor. I'm so used to Polong being totally ignorable that it was really surprising when suddenly a bunch of pelesit bites got aided by polong major pains and I died. Raicho soul armor is really fun but mind weakness is such a pain in the ass... :roll:

Sorry for the slightly longer delay getting back to you, switching to Thanksgiving mode here. :D

Huh. :D I don't know if I've seen a Shock build that went that high on Cunning before, to the point of having only roughly average Magic. :D

Re: Dragon Soul vs. Somnia Wave: Nope! Dragon Soul specifically says *Your* abilities. :D It has no effect on abilities used by anyone else: it's pretty much entirely for breath weapons, at least at the moment.

Full Power unfortunately... does not work with Dragon Soul even though it should! Good catch, and thank you!

Wind Card is actually *not* a bug. :) You can't move away, but you *are* allowed to warp away: Wind Card, like Short Jaunt, is not considered a movement ability. (Though Wind Card failed to mention this, so I fixed that just now.)

Tower:18 is still a good run, even if you did get eaten by evil crickets. :D Thanks for the report and the bug details!

Note to self- Do not ever have an asrai as a goalie on a soccer team...

Nupeppo are pretty hilarious, didn't manage to catch one but had a good laff in Anomaly finding a lone one.

The mandrake link is pretty intense

The golden birds are ok but blind doesn't last long so they mostly burn SP on flashing, could maybe use another 'attack' demon in their packs. Blind is interesting though...

I got double-turned by 3 akateko and a shikigami and slain when I was trying to catch a Whirling Kitsune I was retrieving from a Mirror Chime. woops

Turned from a debuff-ice melee crown hybrid to a bog standard Sudden Chiller. You get a couple of cold passives from corpses and bam! You become a cold nuker, it's just how it goes.

Had Solid Veil snake. Python with Tangler is much more interesting than choking veil and brain knocker python, for sure

um
Had this Freybug which was quite nice for a while
Image

Oh, the rude demons with set alight and acid wash have impressive damage over time. Had to use consumables against 'em a few times
Having too much fun to talk excessively about these runs honestly

Oh no. :D The dreaded "I died with my party at full HP"!

Nuppeppo will probably be less funny when encountered in their normal groups. :D

As I mentioned to joe in the main Matter thread: no way I can give those guys away when I'm letting them have Meditate about 10 floors earlier than you used to get it. :D I figured there had to be a reason anciemt magicians were so interested in harvesting them, and it was a good fit for their original ability set, that's why I stuck it on there. :)

Starting to agree with joe that may status effect AI in general needs some tweaking... but that's outside the scope of Matter build fixes, so it will have to wait a bit.

I'm glad the corpse mechanic does indeed have an impact on builds. :) I figured it would be a neat way to seed some random abilities into the mix.

Would normally get -1 point for not naming him "Pugsicle", but it is not well known that pugs are second to ferrets on my list of favorite animals, so I'll let it go. :D

I hoped Corpo-Secos would be mean. :) I also hoped they'd allow players to get a similar strategy off the ground earlier, if they wish. :D

:P I admit I'd love more feedback, but if the excuse is you're having too much fun to write it, I guess I don't get to really complain. :D Glad you're enjoying the new stuff!

Good run ended by me being (as usual) pointlessly stingy with pure stones and dying to Gorgon/Bonnachon/Druj- Got turned to stone and my healer had to keep removing Infection instead of actually healing me so I died.

Image

Left one tasty ghost on tower 16 though, woo momma.

I knew it was gonna be a good run when I found this Brutal Barometz.
Image
I started up my unspeakable Major Raicho Speed Leadership Wild Frenzy hyperspeed engine and eventually put it together, this time supporting a bunch of already speedy demons. It was some pretty scary stuff, and the usual Crippler that shows up from Hunter Fusions is pretty bonkers. First time I've used a Cynocephalus this long.

I had a bronze offering for a Nupeppo and used it. Didn't know what to do with it really, so turned it into a healer before eating my Nero and Fairy for credits and eventually used a Mandrake to make it Mind Immune because having your healer disabled is bad. As a level 22 to start, it would occasionally punch things for non negligible damage too. Nice to have a healer who is also a tank.
Image

Also in Anomaly I found an Ooze. Even with Raicho speed it kept getting away- first it squeaked through a Pain Glyph to get behind some Blobs and escaped, second time it was just too fast, final time I popped a Might rune and had it in a hallway to catch it. Thank goodness for Peace offerings. I didn't think it's all that good for melee, so I turned it into a magic nuker/buffer that I kept fueled with Refresh. It had a lot of SP management though, so if High Speed Meditate works the way I think it did, that's probably why it didn't ALWAYS need refreshing.
Image

My third summoned demon was the Cynocephalus for a long time, but I eventually put together this scarab, which provided guilt and pariah and esoteric healing modes. Fights ended in a blink of an eye.
Image

Of course, as a rabid Recycle user, I had loadsofmoney and went to great lengths to make silly fusions. Python and Miadchaoin ended up as recycle fodder as they leveled to irresistable levels, and I fought the same Shin ghost 4 times, and while I wanted to do something neat with Stormy or Gluttonous, I ended up just eating his demons. Thanks Shin! Flash actually was pretty annoying, as it prevented me from using Refresh.
Image
Image

Later in the tower I caught another Nupeppo from someone's ghost and turned it into a Fearsome Nupeppo with Anzu. It was just used as a backup healer/nuker and was pretty helpless if I didn't Refresh it constantly.
Image

Keeping my high speed in mind, I tried to make an alternate nuker with an Ooze and a Gorgon, but the results were only OK. The setup of turn to stone or melt+materia siphon was fairly pointless compared to the Wild Frenzy Into Hyperspeed Nukes.
Image

Finally, I found a Jotun from someone's ghost called 'Oldschool' and took it to replace my Cynocephalus. Never used it much but it was obviously quite good, being a Jotun.
Image

So yeah, anyone pilfering my ghost will probably have a really good time.

Also I swear I saw Wild Frenzy do FOUR hit combos a couple of times.
Also I saw some questionable healing priorities (The Haietlik in the pic had Dark Gift but decided to use Focus instead... I deleted Focus immediately after).

Re: Turdak's Sanctum, YASD and ramblings

Humble little Infection. It was one of the first status effects I implemented, so it will always have a warm spot in my heart. :D

I admit I never fully expected Wild Frenzy to as popular as it has been, even knowing it would allow multi-hit passive proccing fun. :D But I'm not unhappy about it.

Nuppeppos are one I wasn't sure how they were going to turn out. Low/no aggressive ability demons are always a bit of a risk (see also: Arachne) and usually a bit of trouble to get right, but I'm hoping Nuppeppo have turned out to be happy additions. :D

That is one very weird Ooze. :D And yes, a high Speed character can use Meditate more often if they wish: The cooldown for it is literally 0: the only time it matters is if something else has stuck a Cantrip cooldown on you; that will prevent you from using it.

Reaper Omen is probably the single most important ability you can hope for for any build that has lots of AE or multi-hit attacks. I don't doubt for a moment that you were able to get some good work done with it... though I'm surprised it was reliable enough with 12 Cunning. :D

4 hit Wild Frenzy huh... hmm. That ability never seems to want to work quite right. I'll add it to the investigation list. Thanks! :D

Re: the mis-healing Haietlik: EEEEKK. EEEEK EVEN. That's supposed to be a pretty ridiculously ironclad rule of the AI: always, always heal a summoner in trouble. Are you *sure* Dark Gift wasn't on cooldown or something? :( I'll investigate regardless though, this is pretty scary... though I'm at a loss to explain what'd have changed on that. Hmm..

I'll look into it at any rate. :) Congrats on a pretty good run, and thanks for the report. :D

I don't know what coulda set Dark Gift on cooldown- The only other non haietlik ability was lucky aid.

Well, when you're level 8 a level 22 could have no abilities at all and still be pretty good. I can't say I'm excited because of all those turn-delay abilities, but as raw potential to be a big early game boost, Nupeppo are pretty cool.

In any case I did another quick run. Sleep tight Aniki.
Image
Ran into a double encounter of Jotun and basilisk and linked with a Charun since I didn't think summoning replacements for my poisoned party would go well, then when looking to put on Eternal Glory I pressed y instead of t. Very stupid death- I had hoped to die to a tower 23 ghost!

Image
Was a fairly haphazard build with lots of weird corpse abilities I cycled through while staying with the trusty Might+Sure Shot support strategy. Couldn't save Medusa, but my party was well-equipped to kill Perseus and Vorpal Cleave was quite good. Inquisition was to give my Jotunn a little extra healing, and Filth Wave was situationally useful for ensuring enemies who started dying kept dying- good against enemy players

Not too much to say about final party composition- basically I just let a the Jotun I bronze Offering'd in Ninkasi's kill everything. Are they the strongest non-unique demon currently?

I played around with Eat alive+Dreamstalker shenanigans on a shoggoth for a while but that was eclipsed by these two demons
Image
Image
Who got Ball Lightning from an unpictured Ionic Eloko and obliterated packs that couldn't handle electricity. I did sometimes use the Shock they caused and my high speed to inflict double Eat Alives on enemies. Eventually they fell behind in levels and then due to being speedy devils kept dying to focus fire so I stopped reviving them, though they each died at least twice before I gave up on them.

Saw Anansi but accidentally let the Jotun kill him. His encounter turned into a double with some extra trees and abatwe that was pretty dangerous with the yanking and poison needles.

Managed to recruit Ogun, turned him intoa Forged Leib Olmai for no real reason. Having >100% speed makes defeat links much, much easier. (My soul armor was a psychic gremlin, and I really felt the body vulnerability this run with paralysis and poison)

Catoblepas were a little disappointing because all their SP went into Slow. Maybe a few Gandayah in their packs could help.
