My characters and YASDs

The tower awaits!

Well, I decided to skip that Sanctum and I'm at Tower 19 and while I havn't cleared it, I'm probably not going to. As far as I can tell, I have 2 groups left: a Summoner whose name I forgot and a group of Light demons lead by a Ruler. Summoner battles are hard enough with a planed and well developed, and I basicly took whatever demon I could. Also, he had a Unique. The Light demons seem to deal a bit too much damage to comfortably deal with. Maybe I could win, but I don't think I should risk it.
I finaly got the name of the demon that chased me out of Anzu's Sanctum: Impudulu. And I got my revenge. :twisted:
The most troublesome fights I had were against droups of 2 Faeries, 2 Abatwa and a Unicorn. Those Poison Needles are kinda nasty. Rakshasas also gave me some trouble.
While all of my current demons are doing a good job, Tlaloc and Imbued Jinn seem like most useful of them. Probably because they both have AoE magic and AoE support.
Not much hapened with my party development: I recruited a Shojo at gave it Soothe, and Tlaloc also has Vigorous now.
Going to go to Tower 20 later to make sure I'm at my best while doing it - don't want to mess it all up right here. I might even take a nap before doing it.

Re: My characters and YASDs - First Victory!

Postby Saler » Wed Feb 22, 2017 9:25 pm

I did it! I won!
Tower 20 wasn't all that eventful, actualy. It's not like I expected a huge jump in dificulty (that will hapen if/when this game will have a final boss), but I expected to have more than 1 or 2 chalaging figths. One time I couldn't recover all of my party's HP before having to enter another fight and also ended up taking a few AoE attacks. The other time I ran into a group of demon that had high magic and could use Rage, Drain Life and Drain Vigor and had a lot of resistances. It was hard to take those guys down. I cleared that floor.
My party, obviously, had little development this floor. I just spread some abilities that, in my opinion, would make my party more effective at dealing with various nasty surprises.
My final score is 31208. This run was certainly full of stresful moments, however after the party wipe at Floor 16, I didn't have as many problems. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, I guess. (Shame my demons didn't get stronger...)
Starter 2nd cycle with Faithful Heart (Light/Buff) with Malingee as my starter demon. I'm probably not going to post about my progress as often as I did now that I won, but I will still try to make posts sometimes.
I think I'm going to be a bit more experemental with my party builds now. Try to be more flexible and try out various demos and stratagies. Probably still am going to fuse Lifegiver demons for Cleanse/Calm/Absolve.

Congrats on your first win Saler. :D You definitely had a strong comeback after the near-disaster on 16. :D

The reports of this last game in particular have been fun to read, in part because you've been giving at least one successful case of being able to recover from both a party wipe and from missing large chunks of XP. :D It's one thing for me to babble on about how the math and numbers are supposed to make it possible, it's another to have a data point that suggests that this is in fact true. :)

Don't let the somewhat easy ride you got on Tower:20 fool you though: Tower:20 has been a source of some rather nasty battles for other players, and there is a certain Hero who often (but not always) shows up there who is quite nasty. But no, it isn't intended to be a special jump in difficulty: in the scheme things, Tower:20 is just another Tier 2 floor.

(I've posted about this elsewhere, but in summary, Demon's content is divided into 4 Tiers which correspond roughly to how challenging they are supposed to be. Currently, all in-game content is Tier 1 or 2, the easier two Tiers. The next build will be adding the first Tier 3 content: Tower floors 21 through 23. You won't see Tier 4 unless/until I do post-game content. There is of course, some variance within Tiers: they tend to get a little rougher as you go, and side-dungeons are intended to be significant spikes in challenge, quite easily surpassing the usual bounds for a given Tier. Anomaly has been remarked on as being one of the hardest parts of the current game, and this is by design, despite it being Tier 1. There's no point in making side dungeons optional if there's no reason to avoid them :D )

Please feel free to post as often as you like, regardless of how many wins you have. :D I love reading and learning more about my game from other people's experiences with it. :D

Congrats again, and thank you for the reports! :D

Congratulations- especially on winning with a melee character! It was fun to follow along with your character's progress.

Tower:20 has some nasty things (I also often have trouble with those Ikiryo you mentioned), but the only real jump in difficulty there is from the horrible ghosts some players have intentionally or otherwise left there...

Thank, everyone! That was a tough strugle. Thanks to you espeacialy, Ferret. Without that savegame recovery this wouldn't have been the victorious run. :)
Started a Fathful Heart Light/Buff character as my 2nd cycle. I just cleared Anomally 2 and oUr SaNcTuM1!1 has spawned. I feel it's going to be a thing, so to speak. I'm generally trying to recruit demons I don't have in my Codex, but I usualy just kill them if I'm not sure if I could use them in my party.
Starting with Protect seems to actualy make me significantly more powerful. Humble + King's Mien is a great way to start fights, and Humble by itself is very good against protec link enemies and Summoners AND large corpse summoned groups.
I tried to power myself up by repeatedly using Revelation with Kasha to get acess to more Light skills, but I got Mantra, Exortism, Humble and Quite Prayer before geting Holy Word, and those 4 seemed like they would be mostly useless for me.
I recruited Actaeon. Humble + king's Mien was extreemly effective here. I also kill Zaji and Ludoc. I got Vigorous from Zaji and Aspis from Ludoc.
I also punched a Gremlin to death after Humbling him with only help from my demon being an OFF down. :)
Next, I guess I'll see what insanity oUr SaNcTuM1!1 has to offer.

No problem. :) I'm glad I was able to fix it up for you. :D

oUr SaNcTuM1!1 is definitely a thing, as you put it. :) It is also a deadly thing, so be on your guard. :D

Protect is a pretty solid buff all around. You have enough SP to plaster it on your entire party in the first turns of a fight, and right there you've boosted their survivability a fair bit. It only gets better if you also have some healing, access to Guilt, and/or if they have life-draining attacks.

Humble's a funny little ability. You aren't able to use it often, but it's worth having just for that opening shot, and King's Mien in particular can make it a very, very nice start to any fight. Protect captureables are where it truly shines, as you noted: no shortage of full HP enemies during one of those. :D

Exorcism shouldn't be underestimated though. There are plenty of enemy groups where most, or even all, of the enemies are vulnerable to it. :D Heck, there are even entire floors of the dungeon where almost everything you encounter will be weak to Light (usually, Sanctums.) If Exorcism proves handy, that will make Mantra and Quiet Prayer useful, since unlike Humble, Exorcism is useful to use more than once in a fight.

Thanks for the report. :) I always appreciate these :D

Postby Saler » Sat Mar 18, 2017 3:03 pm

I finaly stoped geting distracted by Distorted Travesty 3 and played Demon again. Cleared Anomally.
oUr SaNcTuM1!1 was, in fact, a thing. You must've been in an eViL1!1 mood while desining it.
Then it was Anomally 3. Wasn't as eventful as last time, with only Paracelsus apearing. I actualy had to run at the end this time, but I then killed him with poison. I also encountered Fetches for the first time, and I see why people hate them.
I decided to use Revenation on Actaeon, seing how basicly all of his skills are good. I got Second Wind, with goes preaty well with my Holy Word :) . Used a Second Revelation and got Opressor, with is a good skill in general.
I know that Exortism is good :) . Helped me a lot in Anomally. It's just that I wanted a reliable attack, with it isn't.
Kasha is the next to be replaced probably, to be honest. It's the demon I had for the longest time (Besides, I think, Actaeon, but it's a Unique).
Tower 6 next. After I stop geting distracted again.

Re: My characters and YASDs

Postby Ferret » Sun Mar 19, 2017 3:16 am

Oh, hey. :) Sorry for the slowish reply, trying to limit my forum time while I'm in "must... finish... build" mode. :D

I wasn't in an evil mood. :D Just a playful one. :) I wanted to experiment with some weird things mechanically, and a bug plus chance comments from a couple of players about the bug gave me the idea for Anomaly. :D It even fit the setting/story, which was a nice bonus. :)

If people don't like Fetches, I can only imagine what they'll make of Mummies in the next build. :)

Second Wind is probably going to be much more interesting soon, with the new breath weapons like Numbing Breath (Body damage+paralysis), Consume Life (HP drain breath), Consume Vigor (MaxHP drain breath), and Consume Will (Mind damage+sleep). I have high hopes for Consume Life in particular: I think it will prove quite popular with Magic-based melee characters

By the by, I should point out that while Demon is in alpha, I'm not preserving save game compatibility between versions. :( It's a fair bit of work to do that (as I am finding out to my sorrow with preserving ghosts, man that was a dumb thing of me to promise :P ) , and the vast, vast, vast majority of players don't last long enough in a given run for it to be an issue. :P You may want to keep the installs separate if you want to finish this game. :D

Thanks again for the report. :) I hope you enjoyed oUr SaNcTuM1!! :D

I have a baaad feeling about this. Every time when I encountered fetches I had at least one demon go down to 10/10 maxhp. Sometimes I ever hit my own demons just to disable fetches' bonuses from innocence.

Consume vigor breath attack sounds really... weak, in fact. MaxHP draining abilities only scary when you can use them a lot, but once in 6 turns and with lowish power after the 1st attack... It will be useful against those holy packs of angels/archangels/rulers, but that's about it.
