Turdak's Sanctum, YASD and ramblings

[Ferret]

Oof. Tower:12 is a solid run though, congrats on clearing the Anomaly so quickly too.

Mordecai's definitely a jerk. He has two nasty debuff-on-attack abilities, and several strong attacks (two AEs) to apply them with. Bandits are usually pretty wimpy, but the extra Stuns aren't fun in the already nasty circumstances.

"Walkabout party" composition definitely seems to become more important as you climb. That I don't mind in and of itself... but I admit that if I begin to believe a single ability has become necessary for it, I will probably have to do something about that. Then again, I've been glaring a little at Cleanse/Calm/Absolution and Mind status effects in particular for a bit now, so this isn't very new thinking on my front. Just not sure what, if anything, I should do with them yet.

Someone will try a Twilight build someday, and I look forward to seeing it. Draw Wounds will probably be required.

Re: auto-explore and MaxHP, I probably need to try improving the explore algorithm again at some point... that or make MaxHP only decrease when in combat (but significantly faster.)

Affection and Devotion will be getting a mild adjustment next build. Nothing too serious, probably just dropping the 150 on their limits to 130 or so, maybe a +5 SP increase. They are really good compared to other heals right now, even with their funny mechanics.

Interesting that you had lots of training points sitting... was that normal for you before this build? I am not 100% sold on the changes I made to modified demon frequency, and one of the reasons why is that I felt like in my own playthrough it had somewhat diminished the training / matrix systems... the matrix system considerably, since most of my party came pre-modified anyway.

You definitely had a good pair of mobile bug zappers in that Aithir and Akateko If they had managed to live, you'd probably have been okay, Mordecai isn't a big fan of Lightning.

Good luck on your next run.

On the subject of things like Panic and Paralysis and Charm- on the one hand, they are more frustrating than simple debuffs like Chill because they don't just disable the character, they disable player control of the character. But I'm not sure that psychological aspect is the same as them being mechanically unfair. After all, I think my winning characters didn't bother with a Calm walkabout(though it look like both winners did at least have a healer who knew it)-they were just strong and didn't take chances like I took with Mordecai.

Also note me saying 'Moredcai' was intentional on my part-I might be misremembering, but I think that's how it is spelled in the Cynocephalus guy's link description. So there's either a typo in my memory or in some instance of Mordecai's name appearing.

I do tend to start having training points pile up around the later levels of the game, especially when I don't have any demons die, and with the extra Anomaly XP I think I reached that level a little sooner than usual- Tower 12 instead of 14, maybe? As for increased modified demons, I did feel like I was finding more than usual, especially of the sort where you get two different types of modified demon in the same pack.

[Ferret]

Ah ha. There was a typo in Mordecai's "proper name" setting. (Proper name is only used when I want to tell the engine to refer to something by name.) Fixed, and thank you.

Yeah, I'm not 100% sold on there being a major issue with Mind debuffs yet. I'm worried/thinking about it, but not at the acting stage yet. You're right that the psychological issues w/ loss of player control have to be considered when taking reports about it. People tend to be far less "accepting" of Mind-related deaths than they are more straight damage based kills, and it colors feedback received on the topic.

It's expected that modified demons are roughly 50% more common than before, and also that less of those will be "sharing" a modifier, so you will get more unique modifiers / different ability rolls. Those two facts together might be a little much...? We'll see. Still noodling on it. I have noticed a lot more games getting to Tower:4-6 this build, but that could also be people bringing their A game trying to get to the Anomaly.

Hmm.. so you've always felt you have lots of TP at the end? Well, at least there's a negotiation related valve for it now, but it still feels like something I should take as a caution sign. I'll have to noodle on this a bit too.

Thanks again for the frequent reports and feedback. I've probably said that more than a few times by now, but it's worth repeating.

[wizzzargh]

Ugh, had a really terrible death and lost a pretty frabjous team This might be the only death so far where I think there wasn't anything I could have done to avoid it. I had just killed a summoner and was retreating from the afterparty, when a pack of Raiju showed up. My demons were already 50-90% dead and surrounded by summoner demons, so no matter who I unsummoned and summoned to protect me the Raiju just ripped through them, stunning them and then turning to me. Maybe if I had quickly trained Pink Whisper onto all my other demons, let Miaodchin, Turdak, and my Shoggoth die to the summoner leftovers while I kept running, then summoned my weaker (and still half dead, mind you) demons to Pink Whisper the Raiju, then kept fleeing as the summoner demons joined the fray leaving some of the newly upgraded Pink Whisper demons to die and cover my retreat ... yeah, I dunno about that. I do wonder if Dash could have saved me in this scenario where Swiftness was insufficient.

Also, maybe a blizzard rune for Chill and a Curse Rune for speed down(do they give speed down?) would have been enough to outrun the Raiju in the long term, but short term they would still have been in pounce range after those runes, which was why I tried using the Heart Rune.

I was also seriously considering using a Trouble Chime to spawn monsters in between me and the Raiju- that's how bad it was.

Really, if it had been any pack that wasn't a bunch of faster than normal pouncing shock-causing enemies I think I could have escaped. The problem was just that after killing the summoner, I had 8 half dead demons and was still facing 8 enemy half-dead demons, so I just didn't have the hit points available to beat the fresh pack of raiju.

Anyway, now that I've complained about hard things being hard, I'm going to immediately do a 180 and say MAKE THE GAME HARDER!
Or less histrionically, I think there might be too many modified demons now. Unlike my matrix-less last run, I found two silver matrices by floor 1 1/2, and by Anomaly:2 I looked like this, and my log of lost demons probably has like a dozen more modifed demons in it.


I think the increased number of modifiers, plus the 3 extra anomaly floors might be too much. Matrixes at least make you give something up, but I was just drowning in special demons this game- note that I had 2 silver and 3 gold matrixes just kinda sitting around when I died. Maybe this was just a fortunate game, but man.

Anyway, I had pretty good luck with an Ukobach firing squad and Bask in the early game. When the Fiery Ukobach died I turned my Kasha into a ranged attackers as well. Having lots of fire resistant demons definitely made the Anomaly easier, though I almost got incinerated by 3 Fotia focusing Fan Flames on me and ignoring my fire resistant demons. I made great use of Low Profile on that Solid Goblin- they'd dance in front of the enemy while me and two fire flingers all flung flames. I had warmth at one point but I couldn't realy tell what it was doing, so I switched to Bask instead. I think I only finally got rid of the Goblin when I was picking up Turdak...

Lets see- I managed to fail the Actaeon and Artemis links- Artemis Hexed Actaeon when she showed up and the hounds started ripping into him, but then when I tried to salvage the situation by switching to Artemis SHE started getting eaten by hounds while Actaeon dodged all my attacks, and they both ended up dying. My dudes were just feasting on doggy souls so I was never in all that much danger, but man, talk about awkward...

The Buff/Debuff build I randomly started with was quite nice- I tend to ignore Protect because Angels strike me as not super desirable demons, but it was pretty good, and got even better in the late game when I could stack Protect with Juggernaut and Oppressor on my demons. I picked up the Anomaly Shoggoth again, and it just got more and more horrific as it and Miaodchaoin traded tricks and I fed a Lilim to it to remove mind resistance and so on. It had Innocence from a Cursed Fetch(my thoughts on fetches- only cool when they're demolishing your demons, underwhelming when they're on your side) for a while, which after Protecting it, made it pretty much invincible when it was closing distance. I imagined it just shapeshifted to look like the floor...

Anyway, I was thinking about rare encounters like ghouls and shoggoths and I was thinking- how about the occasional Acheri in Tower 1 1/2, eh, eh?

Anyway, Miadchaoin was easy to recruit with a bunch of fire-dudes, and then Turdak was easy to recruit with my mighty ogre, shoggoth, and still-very-effective flame dart flinging.

Also, very minor 'bug.' Sometimes, Zaji would display as being vulnerable to fire again, but he would actually still be resistant for like, half of my action. I can only assume this is some weirdness with my turns not taking a full turn due to walking around with swiftness or Chill or something? I tried to take a screenshot but Demon actually tracks my screenshot cursor so I couldn't take a picture AND hover over Zaji to show the alleged fire vulnerability (I should have just taken a picture of the full screen, derp)


That reminds me, Preta are one of the few demons that I preferred the old sprite. That floating basketball head and it's toothy maw looked hella savage...

[Ferret]

Ouch. Bad Raiju, bad! The only thing I can think of you didn't mention was maybe finding a capture mechanic that could have helped you. Turning a Ludoc Centaur against the rest of his minions post-explosion is the classic example of this, though Lioth is usually far less accommodating. And yeah, curse runes do still give Speed Down.

I'm going to play a game myself today, just to see what's what, but I think I am going to end up agreeing with you that there's a bit too many modified demons at the moment. I already was leaning that way, and I'm seeing more and more evidence of it. When I adjust things like this, I tend to try fairly big adjustments first and then walk them back until I find a good spot. +50% modified demons was too much, so the next build will probably be +25% the old amount.

I think Fotia have ended up being the scary monster of the Anomaly: they're now the first smite-spammer you can meet in the game, and they aren't polite about it. Fan Flames has a high SP cost for the damage, but Bask mitigates that somewhat (while also giving them a little healing.)

Warmth is definitely a bit subtle, but I promise it helps. The effect is easiest to see if you watch your SP count carefully from turn to turn. Even just one Ignited target will make a pretty good difference, and if you have a real cookout going, it will be marvelous. It's also worth noting Warmth's HP regen boost *is* modified by Malleable, if you have it... you can almost have Regen without Regen if you can find enough demonburgers to throw on the grill. Of course, if you have Regen too, well...

Actaeon and Artemis: The lost episode of "When Animals Attack"

Buffs are pretty nice. Stacking defensive buffs and defense passives is definitely a good way to get some real protection in an otherwise cruel Tower, especially if you've recruited a monster out of its weight limit like the Anomaly Shoggoth. (Is this a bad time to mention there's also an Anomaly Raiju? )

Fetches are definitely nastier against you than they will be for you, in most parties. Their encounter groups are designed to take advantage of Void Touch not doing "damage" and Innocence giving bonuses against targets at max HP, but it takes a lot of work to make a group like that of your own. On the other hand, Innocence is a *really* good passive and they give access to it 4 or 5 floors earlier than normal so I'm okay with them being a bit mean-spirited.

I haven't gotten to the rare encounter design yet, though that is planned for the next build. Acheri do meet the basic requirement for inclusion in Tower: 1 & 1/2 (they are undead or have to do with corpses, that second clause being why Kasha gets to live there), but no promises.

I'll look into the Auraward issue. Haven't had any issues with it that I know of, but then I haven't looked at it in a long time.

I'll pass on the feedback about Preta to Geminimax.

Party commentary: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9RmnuHTJI9U

Party commentary, more seriously: I'm glad you had fun with a support build. I always worry I'm the only one who enjoys those. The Shoggoth was definitely the star of the show. Though.. it is a little frowny he didn't have a good spammable attack. Eat Alive is a bit situational for that role due to the accuracy issues. Speedbreaker would have been really good with his Psychic-boosted Cunning. As good as Yellow Whisper generally is, I might have let him keep Speedbreaker over it. Only a thought though. Miodchaoin seems to be in a similar boat.

[wizzzargh]

Yeah, there weren't any good capture mechanics I'm afraid- Everything was either a 'chase me' or a 'kill dudes while I keep trying to kill you' or 'fight me,' none of which were very helpful. I think there might have been a 'I'll be neutral for a while' but I was already out of line of sight of most of Lioth's pack when the Raiju showed up.

I reduced Shoggoth and Miadchaoin's attacks down to Eat Alive because
1- I had Hinder Host to help their accuracy
2- I had lots of ways to Stun enemies between stunning veil and Mighty Roar and that's an auto-hit near as I can tell
3- Panic and Charmed enemies seem easier to hit as well, not sure if that's true or confirmation bias

so Eat Alive with Bloodthirst basically took care of healing and did really great damage- I felt completely alright with the lowered accuracy and the higher damage, especially when Juggernaut gave them extra attacks. I was also under the impression that speedbreaker would only affect movement, would it also have lowered the rate of enemy attack?

Also wow, that movie.

[Ferret]

Stun is auto-hit for almost any damage effect (exception given to things like Storm Strike and Emit Sparks, which are so hard to control even a target sitting still will still be missed sometimes.) Panic helps in that it sometimes messes up dodge/parry/block. Charm doesn't help at all because Charm is nasty enough.

But yeah, with Hinder Host and lots of Stunning, Eat Alive could work out okay as main attack I guess.

Speedbreaker is a Slow effect: the target will act less often, it affects anything you do with your turns. (Haste works the same way, incidentally, in reverse.)

And yeah, that movie is crazy. It was the first thing that came to mind when I saw Mighty Roar on so many demons though.

[Shadowdweller]

My turn for a Mordecai death. I knew better, but just had to try it Could barely even damage the guy tbh.

[Ferret]

My most recent test game is still in progress, but yeah, I think I'm going to have to pull back a bit on the modified demon rate. Not all the back to where it was, but definitely running a bit hot right now.

[wizzzargh]

So I spent some time up in canada with a friend and we both managed to pull off a win in the modified-demon heavy build, though it was offline so no internet records (I THINK he survived Tower :17, I'll revise this if I get a shamefaced email from him).

I believe he won with the Ignite based Vodun Mask and Blight, and did well with a Jiang Shi and Vile Kasha and Vikhor and Headless pulling weight for most of the game, with many a healer. Apparently he made heavy use of Guilt, both for healing and to fuel his own Tormentor.

I had some late-game deaths to Chachapuma and Raiju and even Miaodchaoin Roaring against physical vulnerable me and Artemis after failing to link with him in time due to rune stinginess. Raiju in particular are so dangerous because it seems that if they can burn through your first three demons, they can keep going through replacements faster than you can summon them. Also, I thought I could escape when I Blue Whispered the pack with some demons and broke line of sight, but they were back after me so quickly that I wonder if one of their Electropulses just woke them all up immediately.

My winning character ended up with a great deal of roaring and elemental breathing going on amongst my party, and hey, I even got Dragon Soul in on that. As for my own character, I was a healer but I was often walking around with like +50 max HP thanks to Vigor Siphon so I was effective both in spending my SP on healing and HP on Draw Wounds. Also, upon entering Tower: 17, I saw the exit portal in sight so I just took it immediately, which led me to wonder whether points are based on turncount or experience gained.

Um, Jiangshi are really good and if I recal correctly this guy actually had two of them for quite some time. So making the overlevelled Shoggoth into a sort of Jiangshi was really good too. Overall I still think Anomaly makes the game easier, but perhaps that's just because I've gotten used to dealing with the packs and the guaranteed uber-powerful NERO healers. Though since I had Draw Wounds, I didn't really want Affection with this build. No real interesting ramblings this time I'm afraid.

Here's a better illustration of what I meant with Zaji earlier- I'm hitting him with the 100% ignite cantrip while he's displaying as being vulnerable to fire, but he's still resisting it.
