My characters and YASDs

The tower awaits!

My characters and YASDs

Postby Saler » Sun Jan 08, 2017 3:25 pm

I just registered today and decided to post my most recent YASD.
I was on Tower 10 with Lifegiver Gandayah, Solid Actaeon (I made him solid because i ran out of demon space), Tuofei, Kitsune, Cursed Acheri (with 49 cunning) and Chindi (fusion material). I ran into a group of 2 Eloko and 2 Kitsunes. I recently defeated a similar group without too much trouble and thought that I could haldle it.
Then I got charmed, immediately Calmed by Gandayah, but then shocked, loosing 2 turns in a row. Gandayah had Soothe and Draw Wounds for healing, but I was already near death and it coundn,t draw enough (it still had HP left). Guess I should've gotten Healing Charm at some point.
I was already planing to take cover behind my demons if I got too wounded, but didn't get a chance to.
Intrestingly, I found out that a charmed demon may use Reshape, ending the charm immediatly.
Overall, I think it was a good run, but I definetly made some mistakes in it.
(I appologise for the wall of text, but is there a better way to show the party dump?)

Hello, and welcome to the forum Saler. :D

Re: wall of text, yeah, you can put it in a code block (one of the little formatting buttons above the text window), I went ahead and did this for your post already this time. :D

Oof, yeah. Draw Wounds is a good maintenance heal, and combined with another heal can be part of a "fix this NOW" package, but Soothe's restriction prevents it from being part of that plan. That said, Soothe+Draw Wounds is a pretty amazing maintenance package: when it's usable, Soothe is the cheapest healing available that doesn't have restrictions on spamming it.

Heh. I didn't know Charmed targets would Reshape themselves myself. :D I guess they probably consider themselves to be allies of themselves still, even if all their other allies are now enemies? :) I'm not sure if I even want to call this one a bug or not yet, I'm going to have to think on it. :)

Sounds like a pretty good run overall though: Tower:10 is a pretty good landing point when you consider >95% of games end on the first few floors. Good job, and thanks for the report!

Thanks for the wall of text solution :) .
I started playing this game back when Training Points (is that how they were called?) existed. Had no idea how you are suposed to get past Tower 3 back then...
This was my first Eye of the dragon run, so I probably spent my stat points too thin. Area of effect attacks were fun and negated most off the sleep problems. It seams you really want to have demons that resist your element if you go Eye of the dragon.
Charmed demons using Reshape makes sense in my opinion becouse a charmed demon has no idea that it's charmed.
I had to kill most uniques I came across because they had "kill in X turns' links and I coundn't hit the weakness they had.
Had multiple close moments before with Snuffouts being used on me, everyones MaxHP geting messed up and Winterkills nearly killing 2 of my demon and halfkilling me and the other demon (the Actaeon).
This was my first time recruiting Actaeon. I was avoiding him becouse I recall dying atleast 3 times trying to recruit him.
Malingee is probably one of my favorite demons so far. I usualy get a Slime, teach Malingee Block Impact and Reshape and then make it solid.
Probably going to do Orb of Power run next.
Edit: I later relised the Snuffout got the cooldown from the demon that had it using Haunt. The other two clsoe moments still count, I think.

Training points were the bomb. So much flexibility and wackiness. And if I remember correctly you weren't allowed to pump and dump random demons for their skills instantly, you had to take them out to dinner and fall in love with them first. The addition of currency made the whole thing feel degenerate. Also 8 demon slots.

As for reshape, I didn't know (but I assumed) that it healed charm either. It sounds like a feature to me, considering its main use is status cleansing on 4-magic frontliners. Calm down with the nerf hammer ferret, there'll be bigger things to nerf in the future. Like taking away two more demon slots and turning then into traits or whatever :twisted:

:P I only said I was thinking about it! I haven't nerfed anything yet, my plate's already quite full for the next build thank you. :P

Traits won't require removing slots, by the way. :P Traits will be joining resistances on the MaxHP adjustment train... although the vast majority won't use that because many traits are a mix of + and - anyway. For examples (none of this is even remotely final, of course, given the feature isn't even in active development right now):

Flying: Increases evasion and movement speed by 15%. If you are afflicted with Shock, Stun, Paralyze, or Sleep, you receive Impact damage, become Stunned if not already, and lose these bonuses until you can move again. (Cute note: It is only possible to put a Flier to Sleep and have it stay if they are already grounded or immune to Impact :P )
Small: Increases evasion by 15% and you always Dodge allied projectiles unless aimed directly at you. Reduces physical damage dealt by 25%.
Large: Reduces evasion by 15%, but increases Max HP by 10%.
Firebearer: You always count as an Ignited character. If you are actually afflicted with Ignite, you count as two Ignited characters.
Malleable: Increases healing, health regeneration, and MaxHP recovery received by 20% (not applicable to healing from drain effects.), but you become weak to Body if not already. (Note: No additional penalty if already weak to Body.)
Gooey Center: You have 25% increased defense at maximum HP, degrading to 25% reduced defense as your HP approaches 0.

Well, I started an Orb of Power (Dark/Debuff) run, got to Tower 5 now.
So far the early game was much more full of pain and bad decisions.

I ran into a group of a Faerie, a Lifegiver Echeneis and a Vile Echeneis (with Envenom and Poison Veil) and tried to link with the Vile fish before doing anything to the healers. The link fail and most of my team gets beat up by poison while I fail to do much damage because of the healers. Naturally, I had a Silver Offering I forgot about.
Got most of my team set on fire by Combusts and Fire Breathes from a Fiery group of 3 Raichos and a Freybug.
Tried to link with Vikhor before exploring the level. Ran into another demon group and had to flee the level.
While fighting a Fist Wraith, I acidentally left a gap in my frontline and got hit with a Bullrush to Clobber combination. Reminder, this is an Orb of Power character.

I'm think of making this into a topic for all of my characters.

Ooof. Sounds like a rough first few floors, but at least you see the causes of the problems you've run into. :D Once you're more in the swing of things and succeed at those recruitments, they'll give you the power to push to higher floors. :D

Feel free to use the thread for your character posts. :D

My team is actually comming together now, with most party roles filled. I'm still missing a primary debuffer/status inflicter. I even have a secondary healer with Pyre Rite, I think it's called.
I'm at Tower 7 now. I have a free slot and a Satyr, who, I belive, I could get a Cursed demon from. Or maybe I find something to fuse on him (not as likely with it's not so impressive Cunning).
I still have a minor problem of my demons not doing what I expect them to do, but in those cases they're still using debuffs, so it's not that much of a waste.
I also still don't have Cleanse or Calm, witch are, judging by my last run, nice to have.
More on the funny and kinda embarasing side of probmlems, I found myself acidentally blocking the way foward for my frontliners a few times. Good thing you can swap places in this game :) .

Edit: I made further progress and judging by the difficulty of the fights my character might die soon. Since this will officially make this my topic for other characters I would like to know: how do I change the topic title? Edit my first post?

Re: My characters and YASDs.

Aaand he's dead. My Orb of Power (Dark/Debuff) Summoner is dead. Might have been karma for Snuffing Out a level 1 weak to darkness 3 HP Wraith.
On Tower 8 my party was badly beaten up by a group of Alas. It got worse from there.
On Tower 9 I had a nasty fight with Chachapumas. I also tried to recruit Turdak and ran out of time while he was in red HP. Oh, and the Satyr I planed to use for fusion died, so did the Tuofei I replaced him with. Recruited an Aitvaras later.
On Tower 10 - more Chachapumas, getting my rest interupted twice, second time by Raiju. Lilim dead, Silver Offering used.
On Tower 11... no that much memorable hapend, actualy. I probably almost got killed by Chachapumas again. Oh, and I had to leave early becouse there were strong ice using demons (don't remember the name) and I had 4 demos weak to ice.
On Tower 12 - Oni killed 2 of my demons and I coundn't beat the next encounter becouse of that. The next encounter? Chachapumas.
I think this run ended becouse I couldn't make my team strong enough. I guess skiping Anomally is as risky as entering it? And I should probably be more willing to go against my fussion plans.
Multiple strange looking thing happend. It looked like a Ghoul Pounced me through a wall and an Aspis was Asleep and Ignide at once. And failed Snuff Outs still get benefit of Guilty/Tormentor. Not sure if any of this is intended, but it looked a bit strange to me.
This run was definetly fun. 83 Snuff Outs killed, 27 failed. Yes, I kept count to the best of my abilities. Might try Hand of the dead run next, although starting with demon sacrificeing upgrades scares me.
Code: Select all
Summoner Saler...

Whoops, I missed your edit to your reply! I'm not sure I have it setup where most people can edit topic titles, but lemme know what you want it to be and I'll be happy to change it. :D You *might* be able to do it by editing your original post and changing the subject there? Not sure though.

Tower:12's not a bad run. :) Congrats on reaching that point. :)

Skipping Anomaly: did you skip it entirely, or were you chased out at some point? Skipping it entirely can definitely be risky: you dodge 3 floors of nasty encounters, but you're a little behind for the next 5-6 floors of normal encounters. Being forced out of it mid-way or so is much less severe usually. Either can be overcome, but it takes awhile to catch up, and of course, it will get harder if you're forced to leave other floors early.

The best counter for falling behind is to try and recruit some locals, since many of them will usually be the right level for the area even if you and your current party aren't. Even if they aren't usually demons you'd prefer for your party or strategy, being the right level may make up for it in the short-term. The Capacity Up upgrades can also help in this situation, by giving you more demons to throw at problem encounters before you run out of reinforcements.

Pounce through a wall: I'll see if I can repro this. I will confess it may be possible to pounce around a corner in such a way that the Pounce visual clips through the corner, but in such cases there was a clear line of fire according to the usual line of fire calculations, and this is just a visual artifact.

Sleep + Ignite: This isn't a bug. :D Magical sleep is pretty deep: Ignite, Poison, and Pariah damage don't wake up targets, a fact which can certainly be used to your benefit in the right sort of build. :D

Failed Snuff Outs triggering Guilty/Tormentor: Hmm.. I'll look into this. :) Thanks for the report!

Pretty good success rate there on Snuff Out. :D It may be worth mentioning, if you didn't already know, that since it is resolved as an attack, having Offense Up on yourself and/or Defense Down on the target can be considerably useful in helping it stick. :D

Thanks for the write up. :D I'm glad you're enjoying the game. :) Starting to sound like you'll be talking about your first win soon. :D
