I meant Dark Aid itself. :D Given how rough your condition was, it seems likely he'd have tried using it the previous turn, but it's only usable every other turn.

I don't think I'd seen anyone using Filth Wave before. :D But come to think of it, player ghosts actually is a great use for it: player groups are very likely to include a fair amount of healing. :D It also helps keep any stashed demons from recovering and coming back a second time.

Jotunn can probably safely be given the "strongest non-unique demon" title currently: they're native to Tower:23 after all. :) The only other Tower:23 non-unique natives are Couril and Virtues, neither of which are particularly punchy.

Slow never seems to make anyone happy with given to an AI... hmm. And this is the Matter build, so it already has the tweaks I made to accuracy evaluations.

At any rate, even if it fell a little short of victory, still an amazing run. :D Thanks for the report!

I actually ghost won this a few days ago, didn't have time to mention it till now
I had a plan to see how big I could get a Blight to be, but then Blight wasn't in the Profane modifier and I just became a buffer.

Image
Despite the mentioned issues with wild frenzy, I still used this major raiju till the end of the game. I had Haste+Inspire so I could send turns the Raiju gave me back to it. Quite thrilling and more noticeable to be on the receiving end of leadership, especially with the high speeds and extra inspires.

Image
Bigfoot was more for single hard targets. The brute force approach compared to the shenanigans. He didn't make it onto my ghost team because Unique, but speaking of shenanigans

Image
I made this Subtle Pixie to keep the enemy panicked when they weren't stunned by Heavy handed from he raiju's wild frenzy. The extra Luck cooldown ability let Lucky Charm be spammed pretty effectively after mana was blown on Muddle and Hysteria, especially when she got multiple uses of it each turn between Haste and leadership. If luck turned against me and she walked up in melee after running out of SP I'd just switch to one of my many healers. Honestly I had too many healers- when Bigfoot and Raiju died against a tower 23 ghost I suddenly realized I had no one with real offensive potential and had to go recruit/revive some muscle.

I feel like I could have actually finally gotten Slenderman for once but I just killed him instead, ah well.

I'm hoping that screenshot of Raiju there will prove to be the key to finally tracking down the Wild Frenzy bug. :)

Leadership can definitely be a fun thing to be on the receiving end of as a player: provided you have the SP, you can have a lot of fun with extra turns. :D

But.. I have to ask. Why did you name a Virtue Chachapumad? :D

Sorry you weren't able to get Blight for a Blighty build. Maybe I should find a way to make it available earlier... hm... something to poke at after the Matter build. :)

Congrats on the win, and thanks for the report. I'm still hoping I can find a repro for the Wild Frenzy badness out of all this.

Gah... even copying the ability set did not do it, nor did having any combination of healers, nukers, near dead enemies, near dead allies. growl.

If you ever see it happen again, try to get me a Save File, even right after the very first time it happens, since it seems like once it starts it can sometimes happen multiple times.

grumbles. I usually don't have anywhere near this kind of trouble tracking an issue down. :(

The Virtue died once to a chachapuma and I often rename demons that have been revived as a sort of reminder to myself of their fragility

Blight is available on other relics so whatevs

Re: the naming. Oh. :) Ferret enough :D

It's true Blight is on other relics, but I get grumpy if a playstyle is relic-restricted. Most playstyles have plenty of ways to get started, but Blight is somewhat unique: you either have it or you don't.

Had a fair few middling runs where I died to stupid things like 'refusing to use restore demon,' nothing much to say about them.

Tested out what the game was like with no monies, but I found two oozes in anomaly and turned them into whirling and dancing break-down nukers, so the difficulty wasn't what one would expect of a 'no currency relic upgrades' run. I think my preference to not use uniques so as to leave more interesting ghosts makes the game harder as well, but high-level demons seem pretty common now so it's easy to make up for not using modified uniques with overlevelled demons. Dancing ooze died, was revived via mirror chime, but then died again and I finally gave up since it was like 4 levels lower than the Whirling one. Not sure how the level disparity crept up so much- maybe those Mirror Chimes were worth lots of XP.
Image
Is there still that issue with demons not using Second Wind unless they have a breath ability?

also had this handy mummy for a bit. That's a resistance set which is good to have against a lot of midgame packs, yes indeedly
Image

Mentioned death in the bug thread. I had planned to try finally taking on Slenderman with a Mind-Immune party of Ya-va-teo and a Wise Jotunn that I fused (jotun courtesy of the Oldschool ghost, as usual) but then i died

I like being Raicho-speed a lot. Chase links are trivialized (though I underestimated bigfoot and lost him, I think angry bigfoot was the one who killed my Dancing Ooze for good) and it's almost like having quick dismiss due to the high speed of summoning and unsummoning.

Having Calm on the summoner is a good way to negate Charm deaths since you'll use it on yourself while Charmed I discovered.

Re: Turdak's Sanctum, YASD and ramblings

Hmm.. maybe high level monsters are a bit too common at the moment. I wonder if my math on them is somehow wrong... it does start to feel like they're popping up a little too often.

I added a re-check of Second Wind to the bug list. It was supposed to be fixed, but worth a check. Notably however, the Ooze listed does have a breath ability (Wild Dance), which would mean it is reluctant to use Second Wind unless Wild Dance has already been used.

Characters with Calm shouldn't be removing Charm from themselves. :D So I added that as a bug too, with apologies.

Sorry again about the AI death; the relevant bugs have been entered and I'll look into them once work calms down (probably this weekend, maybe next week, crummy that things have gotten so slow this close to the end of Matter Testing. :( )

Thanks for the report!

Re: Turdak's Sanctum, YASD and ramblings

Got a 'ghost win' with a stupid name, as usual. You can guess what happened to the character before this one...
Image
Image
Found Ghost Shock early on and decided to roll with it. Later on I had to be more cautious about melee, but could usually rush through and focus fire key targets down, then retreat. The ability to ghostpierce through enemies proved vital for escaping some tight situations. Went with Whirling Ilomba soul armor, because high speed is really good. Feels like forever since I've won a normal-speed character...
Also playing without recycle seems to make me poorest in the early-middle and midgame, anomaly to turdak about, since that's when you're probably setting up a healer and holding onto too many demons for fusion fodder. Game is definitely playable without it, but you can't mess around with Soul Armors and vanity fusions until the end.

Also finally beat Mordecai- being able to take out the bandits, escape, and come back later is very handy. All thanks to 140% speed


High level monsters are probably a bit too common. I feel like these 'rare' encounters are consistently part of my plans nowadays- saving off earlier fusions with the idea 'i'll create a really good overlevelled monster when I find one'
Speaking of,
Image
I had a really nice Nokken+Raiju fusion.


I had to retreat from 3-4 floors when enemy packs piled up, my own ghosts proved too nasty(Neurospook in particular was atrocious), and other various things. High capacity helped brute-force encounters though, so the endgame wasn't too rough after I suffered through the usual midgame to late-game bumpy transition where otherwise nice demons get outleveled- I had A chthonic mummy that was a solid frontliner that i held onto for a long time, and went some time without Calm available after I started losing Nero healers and Unicorn healers.
Image
I actually like these trees a lot just for their massive durability and mind immunity. One flaw I've finally realized about healers that have all status removers and healing is that they can only do one per turn, so I think spreading out key skills like Calm onto Mind Resist or Immune demons is a good idea. Similar advice applies to relief and cleanse. Melting seemed to be dealing tons of damage this game, maybe because my brain assumes its poison or ignite tier when it isn't.


To return to the 'Overleveled Demons' subject, I'll give my hot opinions on 'em
Dipsas- Expensive to negotiate with, niche skillset, fragile, good for dancer builds. The best Negotiation overleveled encounter I think
Shoggoth- Easy to negotiate with, high level, decent skills, unusual modifier. I think they could stand to be hungrier/angrier/come with ranged enemies. Not super strong against Anomaly enemies, but a real steamroller if you cover a weakness.
Nokken- Not too hard to negotiate with, decent skills, modifier is a bit random. Similar to Shoggoths in that they're a bit too easy to get compared to the massive power boost you get from them being so high level.
Angel- Underrated but not exciting since they're so incredibly common. Same with the early Nero.

Raiju- Ionic is an impressive modifier, 130% speed is amazing, and while not perfect out of the box, skills can do work. I think the multiple chances to show up in special levels has made 'em a bit too common, but they're not just a 'lean on this demon for the next 10 floors' find.
Ooze- Only speed-focused people can catch these, they're really bad news to fight and even worse to fail the link, but are so fragile that they're pretty much guaranteed to die sooner or later. I think Oozes are a good example of an overlevelled encounter that can really up your game, but can't be leaned on entirely (like, say, Bigfoot)
Kitsune- Easy to catch, but with a low level modifier and mediocre skills. Not very exciting to see 'em in Ccoa/Vikhor's sanctum but I think they're in a good place of being ahead of the curve with some investment, but not great on their own.

Actually I'll just talk about all the 'fight me' links at once because they're harder to get than the other links, and dangerous too, so I think they're a good marker of high risk= high reward. Nupeppo and Gorgons are hard to get and have weird skillsets, so I think they're more interesting than straightforward Archangel/Oni/Aeras.

Probably forgetting some/forgetting later ones, but it's the anomaly/preanomaly ones that really stand out to me

Congrats on another "win" :D

Recycle's getting a bit of a nerf in the Matter Build... at least 1/3, and maybe as much as 1/2. It'll probably go harder on it than that even in the actual upgrade pass to come. (It may even just go away entirely, to be replaced by something that does the job better. :P ) If it makes things ugly credits wise, I'll adjust costs to compensate, but it's bad form to have things priced based on a broken upgrade regardless.

I've finally decided, based on your report and various others', to nerf the "rare monster" spawn rate. We'll try -50% for the Matter Test build and see how that goes.

Zappy Nokken is very zappy. :D Bit surprised about the Spiny Veil though, what was that for? :D

I usually run 1.5 healers myself, and often try to have at least Calm hanging out on the non-1 non-0.5 healer. A lone healer can get way too overwhelmed by status effects, especially in the later game where the nasty ones become more common. Mind immunity (or at least resistance) is a priority of mine too, for healers: every single Mind condition screws up healing, as opposed to Body, Light/Dark, and Matter, which have only one immediate threat each (Matter has two if count Blind and Harden->Stone, but Harden->Stone takes time to become real)

It's out of scope for Matter release to tweak individual rare demons' recruitment difficulties: I will say that I don't mind some of them being relatively easy (these are in part Demon's version of finding artifacts, so some *should* be relatively easy), I think the bigger problem is how relatively common they seem to have become. That said, I'll review the high level rare encounters in more detail in a future pass, so I appreciate the notes on them. :D

As always, thanks for the report and feedback. :) Congrats again on the ghost win. :D
