My characters and YASDs

The tower awaits!

Re: My characters and YASDs

The reason I'm sticking with build 7 is that switching now would mean that the enemy demons will get the somewhat nerfed brands. It's probably not too much, but it might matter, so I decided to switch only on my next character.
Tower 18: I encounter a Mananangal, and link with it. Decided to not replace Shikigami because it's almost 3 levels higher. I replace my Vigorous with Witch's Mien and replace Shiligami's Mending with Witch's Mien, Cull with Blight and Expose with Weaken Host. I also decided Transpose Soul for Expose Host, replacing Inquisition – I think Zagh's Humble + King's Mien combo will be good enough. Later, I took a bunch of MaxHP damage from Peludas. It started of going well, and then suddenly my draining wasn't quite string enough. :( I think the Nuppeppos they were in a group with caused turn delay. Had to use a Healing Stone. By the end of the floor, I almost recovered from it fully.
Tower 19: I recruited a Rakshasa for Codex completion. Also decided to replace Dipsas' Mightbreaker with Mindreader. Zagh gets send to preservation by a Shogoth/Impudulu group. My Virtue decided to throw Lux to kill a single Polong. :x That's wasteful under almost any conditions. I encounter a Peluda/Cherufe group. Seeing how most of my demons are weak to fire, I decide to use a Blizzard Rune. I still took a large amount of MaxHP damage. I decide to use a Pure Gem to heal some MaxHP damage.
Tower 20: Bigfoot's damage output is so high that I briefly though that I had an instant kill ability in my team somewhere. I don't think he's overpowered, considering his rarity and link difficulty. I encounter a Yukki-Onna group and link with one of them. Partially to make fighting easier, partially for Codex completion. It dies to a group of light demons with Powers, but it does manage to Charm a Power before dying. Ninkasi is send to preservation by the same group. :o
3 floors left. Probably not much I'll be able to do with my credits. I could fuse for more MaxHP or better stats, but I'm not sure if I'll be able to successfully link with anything at this point. I might use a pair of Pure Stones on Ninkasi to get her back into fighting shape. The fights are getting very hard I have some sort of lasting losses every floor now. Personally, I'm not sure if this will be a win – I still have Valindra and Tremane ahead, and both of them are very dangerous.

Re: My characters and YASDs

The Brand nerf doesn't apply to most Brands, mostly just those with strong penalties, but it would make a difference in those cases, so I understand. :)

Turn delay is sneaky. :D I think Nuppeppo is one of my favorite of the more recently added demons simply because he has a good, if basic strategy for putting it to use: use turn delays to limit incoming damage while using free actions to heal what slips through. :D Try to hit them directly, and they get even better at both. :) Their surprisingly on-point Weaknesses (Fire and Matter both have ways to block Regen, and Matter can also Blind, which prevents Fetid Burst and Draw Wounds from doing much) for their level are in part due to how effective this strategy is.

Miracles being used to finish off single targets is a fair bug, going to be a toughie to fix though: so much of the AI is built around "kill a thing this turn if you can". I'll note it for later, but not putting it on the Brand build fix list.

Yeah, I'm not too worried about Bigfoot. :D I'm sure you've heard me say it before, but cases like him I think of as Demon's superpowered unrandarts. At least in Demon they naturally expire due to the slow leveling once you're 10 past what they started at... not that this is an issue in Bigfoot's case just yet. :D

Things seem to be going tough, but I hope you're able to pull out another win. :) Good luck, and thanks for the report!

The most dangerous thing about turn delay is that it stacks much better than status effects.
I guess a potential solution is to make it so that the AI uses Miracles only if it's in enough danger, The problem is determining the amount of danger.
Tower 21: I decide to use a pair of Pure Stones to recover Ninkasi's MaxHP. I reached level 25 and got Lifeguard this floor. In a fight against some Incubuses, Zagh prioritized hitting a Pariah demon over removing Charm. Although, I guess, that could be a good move if there's a good chance that your demon will just get Charmed again. In this case attacking would be a good move. In a battle with Catoblepas, I get Stoned and Ninkasi gets preserved again. I use one more Pure Stone. I end up taking a preservation MaxHP hit myself when I get ambushed by Powers. I take another MaxHP hit to my Panicked Bigfoot. :x Yaga's Sanctum spawned this floor, but with the MaxHP damage I took, I decided to skip it.
Tower 22: Eventually I encounter a Yukki-Onnas and Mullasas group. Zagh gets badly injured and I dismiss it. I think of running away, seeing how I have no means of dealing with Charm other than Zagh's Calm, but get Charmed before getting the chance to. This leads to death. :(
This definitely was an avoidable death – I should've spread Calm around more. It's deceptively easy to find a situation where a single Calmer can be rendered useless. Usually by damage.
Probably going to repeat that mistake a few more times before I finally learn the lesson. :roll:
I think I'm going to wait for build 9 before starting my next character.

Re: My characters and YASDs

Postby Ferret » Thu May 23, 2019 2:54 am

Hmm.. sort of kinda of. It has pretty serious built in limits on how much delay you can cause on 1 turn... but on the other hand, if you have lots of delay incoming, each of your turns can end up quite delayed since that limit resets when you get a turn.

Yeah, defining "danger" properly is always the problem with miracle AI. :P I may eventually have to break down and just make them "by direct command only", but that'd break a major facet of Demon's philosophy, so much so I'd probably rewrite Miracles to not use XP cooldowns rather than go that route.

Removing Charm from a demon in general is very valuable (unless it's about to wear off anyway, which is common w/ Charm since the duration is so short) ...but so is hitting a Pariah'd enemy if there are many enemies present, especially as their HP gets low. If the Charm was on *you*, then that's probably a bug, since removing Charm from summoners is supposed to be Very high priority.

Sorry you got eaten so close to the end! :( Build 9'll be out this weekend barring unexpected nastiness in the last bits of work on it, so you won't have long to wait. :) Thanks for the report, and good luck on your next run!

Re: My characters and YASDs

Postby Saler » Thu May 30, 2019 2:26 pm

Build 9 now. Making a Faithful Heart physical character. Not sure how much I will post this – my life might get much busier soon.
I ended up missing my chance to recruit Headless. :( Tower 1 1/2 in general was pretty messy, but it did get my team some EXP. Post Tower 1 1/2 I had Homunculus, Malingee, Solid Zombie with Triad Ward, Sankai, Frigid Chindi and Violent Red Cap with Execute.
Tower 3: I encountered Actaeon. I link with him, then link with Artemis when she spawns. I successfully recruit her, fusing an Artificial Sankai to free up a slot. It got Mind Scream and Flash. I also gave Solid Zombie Draw Wounds. A bit later, I link with a Jian Shi to give Malingee Bloodthirst. By the end of the floor, I also copied Bloodthrist and Venomous to myself.
Tower 4: Encountered Vikhor on this floor. He dealt a lot of damage to my demons, so I ended up deciding to link with him to get him to stop attacking. I failed that link. Didn't help that his Raichos had Numbing Breath. Thankfully, killing him when he was alone was easy. Reached level 5 and took Refine Brand. Didn't have the chance to use it yet.
Ccoa's Sanctum: I encounter Ccoa immediately. She almost dies without me noticing. :roll: Had a few tough fights, but made it out OK.
Tower 5: Took a rather large chunk of MaxHP damage to Corpo Secos. Other than that, the floor went fine.
My problems currently are lack of good healing and a few too many weaknesses in the party. Probably will have to switch a few things around in the party before fixing that. At very least, the combat is going well for me.

No worries about life getting busy, I've been all too familiar with that this year. I used to warn about it happening since it slows development, but at this point it has kind of become the new normal and will be for awhile, hence how I end up spending almost half a year on Brands. ugh.

Healing and weaknesses may be issues at the moment, but it sounds like you've at least picked up good offensive and support abilities. Healing abilities tend to be "clumped" onto healer demons, so that hopefully can be fixed relatively quickly. And hey, maybe you'll find a Brand to help with the weaknesses. :D

Thanks for the report!

Well that been half an year. Again. :roll:
And, unfortunately, my time away from Demon lead to me playing more sloppily and dying. :(
Anomaly 1: Most of them fights went well. The 2 major things that happen were Chinidi getting preserved and me losing some MaxHP. That became relevant later.
Python's Sanctum: I recruit a Dipsas, replacing Redcap, and then engage Python. I take out his supporters easily enough, but then make a big mistake - I link with him, forgetting about my damaged MaxHP. As the result,I'm forced to flee the Sanctum at 12 MaxHP. And I gave away all the Pure Stones to that Dipsas.
Anomaly 2: A attempt to recover some MaxHP in battles, but don't make much progress, just getting up to 15. An encounter with Ludoc forces me to flee to Tower 5. There I once again get sloppy, and in process of recruiting a Dryad from a corpse encounter leave myself alone and surrounded by demons at 15 MaxHP. Didn't survive for long.
Honestly, I'm kinda glad to finally finish this character, even if it happen in such a pathetic way. I can finally move on to the newest version without felling like I'm abandoning something.

No worries on the time gap :D Part of the fun of roguelikes is cycling back to see what changes, I do it myself. :)

A sloppy death is perhaps frowny, but as you say, the timing isn't bad at least. :) Just a few days now! I look forward to hearing your reports from the new floors soon. :D

The problem with seeing new floors is that I have to get to them. :) Going to post this one, even thou it didn't get past Tower 1 ½, because hey, it's been a while.
Horns of the Hunt, because it's new, Tackle, Homunculus start. Gandayah, Slime, Echeneis, Malingee and Goblin, as well as Low Profile from a corpse, by Tower 2.
The Goblin is replaced by a Brutal one I found with Accursed and Bull Rush on it. Also replaced a normal Gandayah with a Blessed one with Protect and Blessweaver. In hindsight, maybe I should've kept the normal one for Lifegiver. :roll: Decided to give Protect to myself also before heading into Tower 1 ½. Attempting (and failing) a Jiang Shi link, as well as forgetting how Pounce range work lead to me loosing about half of my MaxHP. I then encounter Headless and recruit him, deleting Slime. Gave Reshape to Goblin, as it might actually turn out to be a better melee demon than Malingee. Encounter some Kashas. Try to link with one of them, but forget until I already killed one of them. Also, I get reckless in one of the fights and end up having to use a Pure Stone to not lose even more MaxHP to Ignite. I manage the link and delete my Echeneis to make space. I encounter another Jiang Shi, and this time I complete the link, giving Goblin Bloodthirst and Souleater, deleting Dash in process. In a corpse encounter, I find a Freybug, and decide to link with it for Tormentor, keeping it on Kasha for now. Next corpse encounter doesn't go so well – one of the enemy demons was a Frigid Will-o-Wisp with projectile. I didn't pay enough attention, and those projectiles knocked my HP down way faster, than I expected. And I didn't have good luck with items this run – I think the only one I found besides that Pure Stone I mentioned was a Healing Stone I used in negotiations.
It's good to be back, even if it means getting messed up by projectiles. :x

:D Well, even if you don't make it to the new floors for awhile, you may still encounter some new abilities or demons.

Glad you're enjoying your time back, even if you are a bit rusty. :) New build is still on schedule for this Sunday, so the wait's almost over. Thanks for the report, as always. :)
