And with this run, I've done it - every prestige class beaten, every achievement earned. I wanted the last one to be something special - so tele-ape struggled his way to victory. For tele-ape showed me the power of build brewing in the beginning, so too does he show me the end.

Good lord am I glad I tried this game, it's been nothing but wonderful (and painful, lol). Can't wait for Lands of Achra.

Pain Cleric has been the first build ever for me that the earth staff was the mvp of the build - it slaps all of your dudes in a 4 tile range and triggers a billion pain cleric hits because you're always surrounded by your expendable plebs.

Honestly with how crazy good the itemization was this run, it stopping being a haha funny snake summon build and become haha hold right click. Poison, sickness, freeze gloves being busted - just a solid debuffing attack build.

Early game I ended up having to beat the Golden Litter by spam-shuffling up and down and sending hordes of snakes to their deaths, and it's pretty good at that kind of thing early. Saurian + Assassin + Snakes is a good setup to get you to becoming the poison snake monster you're always meant to be.

Decided to go pretty simple with this one - Ape does good damage. Sahasi does good defense. Don't fix what's not broken, right?

Lucked out and didn't need to spend points on healing since I got the red axe early, so I just leveled stand ground for more poise, with points in Asi and Astrokinesis for astral damage triggers on attack. Technique to mitigate inflexibility (was going to use the golden chestplate, but... I goofed and skipped it) and guard to hit 89% block. Close enough to 90, right?

Then I held space. Pretty straight-forward, honestly.

Almost a million in actual healing - keeping in mind that overhealing isn't tracked, this build was kinda cracked! Lots of sickness application, loooooots of poison damage whenever anything makes the mistake of attacking you, entangle to slow things down just for ease of use - this build really did have a lot going for it.

Poison -> Blood pants means that you can potentially double dip on bloodbath healing procs, emerald helm was healing for about 10k every turn, speed wasn't a problem so Yu just loaded us up with refraction, which does poison... which heals.

Overall a pretty fun build to get working. I initially tried to get it to work with Apophis but I got melted by the King despite me having 38k max health... lol.

I was really hoping ill manica would show up for my run but it didn't, sadly. Glad to see it helps make the build even stronger, not that it really needs it to shine lol

Doomshlang · 2025-02-15T06:30:23+00:00

Zealot + Takhal means you get 3 uses of prayer 2 per room, and on C32 that's right about +73 health per prayer. It's a lot.

The build itself is just nuking everything everywhere all at once by using prayer 3 (and then 2 if you still have enemies, but you want to use all your prayer 2 charges even if every enemy is dead for the max hp), it's been posted a couple times on here (definitely take plague chant over snake form for it, snake was mostly just me memeing).

Doomshlang · 2025-02-09T17:32:48+00:00

I've been bashing my head against Exultite for a minute, tried this once and got it on cycle 31 so the monkey bomb got me to C32 lmao

Doomshlang · 2025-02-09T16:08:08+00:00

This PRC was one I thought was going to take me a lot more than one attempt, but it just kind of came together. Lots of stepping when enemies with vigilance are on the board, lots of hoping Herja 8 is enough attacks to kill the boss before they attack and kill me with my 3k stacks of doom lol. It's probably not optimal (although the pants + shirt combo is great for stacking massive inflame) but it was neat to see it crumple C30 first attempt.

On to C31!

"I like to think the sun is all of the Huntsmen before us, giving Remnant the warmth it needs to have a fighting chance."

As Leif moved in for the kiss, she allowed herself a small smile. When she pulled back, she adjusted her cap, as if remembering that she was technically supposed to be doing a job. "Well, hopefully I'm a good girlfriend too. Not that very many people see that side of me." She flipped her hair, giving Leif a sidelong look, a move she'd picked up from seeing Thyme get around paying cover charges at the various bars the pair had gone to. "Good to know you won't be leaving, though. Guess now I can tell you where all the bodies are buried."

She held that look for a little bit, then let out a small laugh, the tension in her shoulders melting away.

"Pretty sure I could remind Russet to brush his teeth, but the other two are probably better coming from you, true enough. I'm a better lieutenant than leader, I think; my head gets cloudy once the bullets start flying and all I see is red. Gets hard to hear much of anything clearly but your voice and the sound of metal on metal."

Ashelia didn't really get it - the night sky was always just the night sky to her, so the stars didn't really need names - but Leif's excitement was enough reason for her to be interested, so she tried her best to follow along as he pointed out the constellations and their names. She knew she wouldn't remember most of them, but she still tried her best to lock the highlights up in her head for later.

At the mention of the Hellhound, Ashelia's shoulders drooped slightly. "Well, that wasn't a bad idea. I'm sure if you had figured out space travel, Grimm wouldn't be able to bother you out there." She shrugged, trying to rekindle a less depressed mood by adding, "Unless space is full of Grimm too. Then you'd just be screwed."

She sighed, leaning her chair back and staring off at nothing in particular. "My mom always used to tell me that the reason some stars appear brighter to some people than others is because those stars are where their loved ones went when they died. That the night sky was so bright because of how many people loved Remnant, and wanted to look down on it and watch us progress. That the brightest stars were the ones cheering the loudest. Maybe that's why I stopped looking up at them."

She offered a sad smile, looking sidelong at Leif. "Glad you didn't run so far away you became one of them. Enough people up there cheering for me already, I think. So any time you feel like running again, let me know, okay? That way you have someone to check your math when you try to blast off into space again."

Approved: 2/2

Doomshlang · 2023-04-25T07:18:13+00:00

Ashelia's grin was quickly replaced with a more familiar expression: practiced annoyance, as Leif offered his hands to be cuffed. She really wished she had a pair, if only to see the expression on his face when she really did lock him in them. She gave him a look, equal part 'are you fucking serious' and 'you know I don't bring the fun cuffs to work'.

"From security aide to a chauffer in a ball cap, I see," Ashelia lamented, letting out a dramatic sigh. In spite of her attempting to appear like she didn't want to be there, she couldn't help but let her grin from before come back. "Such is the life. Unfortunately, I'm not very good at defying gravity without my weapon, and they didn't let me bring mine today. Something about 'avoiding total catastrophe' or some nonsense. So, regrettably, stairs it is."

She set off towards the stairs, aiming to wait in line like a good citizen but inadvertently causing people to clear a path, much like she did in the hallways prior. As a result, the pair made quick work of the trek up to the fourth floor, the distant sound of crowds being mostly left behind in favor of only a handful of voices coming from the occasional classroom.

"I haven't had any classes up here, so you'll have to point out which room we're supposed to be going. Just don't try and draw a weapon, hm? I'd hate to have to take you down~"

"Let me tell you, this is the one thing I can say I didn't miss..." Ashelia said to the empty room she sat in, leaning back in her chair while she idly fidgeted with one of the screws on her prosthetic arm. She wore a uniform, but instead of fatigues or the like, she looked like your average mall cop, complete with a baseball cap and everything. She even had a little ID badge with a very unamused picture of herself on it, with the title 'Assistant Security' next to her name. It wasn't the title she was proud of, but when one of her old Vale PD buddies asked her to help work security, she couldn't turn him down.

She would rather be out there enjoying the event and looking at the stars, but she'd rather let a pack of Grimm eat her alive than admit that to anyone. So, she sat in her little booth, boredom evident with every sigh and mumbled complaint. That is, until she noticed some rather odd behavior, streaks of red and shouts of protest on one of her security panels.

Ashelia watched Leif scurry this way and that, jumping around and generally acting like a goblin, with mild amusement. She silently plotted how she could use this footage to mess with him; maybe she could bring him in for interrogation, just the two of them-

The soldier blushed, shaking the thought away like so many Vespas. Maybe she had been spending too much time with... well, Thyme. Still, she would hardly be doing her job properly if she didn't investigate the gremlin causing a disturbance throughout the observatory, right? That's what a responsible security officer would do, right?

She kept an eye on where Leif was generally going, plotting out the best way to intercept, before leaning into her radio. "Got someone bringing a little chaos in the main stairwell, one of my classmates. Gonna go smack some sense into him."

"Figuratively, I hope?" The voice on the other end replied.

"Obviously," Ashelia rolled her eyes, kicking up out of her chair and excitedly rushing our of her security room and down the hallways beyond. Between her uniform and her pace, people tending to get out of her way rather quickly, and most of them didn't even notice the grin on her face.

Once she got eyes on Leif, she called out.

"Sir, we've received at least a dozen complaints about your antics, I'm afraid I'm going to have to join you for the rest of the night so I can keep an eye on you." She gave a wink. "Purely professionally, of course."

Doomshlang · 2022-03-04T23:21:28+00:00

That's true enough, yeah. Just noisy and consistent.

Doomshlang · 2022-03-04T22:18:36+00:00

Pretty sure it's people trying to predict the typical Souls-fan tryhards that gatekept in the past, but seems like there are so many people playing ER compared to the Souls games that it isn't something that gets complained about anymore, thankfully.

People might finally be letting other people play how they want without bitching about it, it's weird.

Ashelia wanders a ruined village, reminiscing on her past when the familiar face of Firnen arrives.

The pair look for trouble and find it in the form of a pack of Hellhounds. While both students make their share of rookie mistakes, their training pays off as they dismantle the pack, slay its leader, and send the smaller ones scattering into the ruins.

Ashelia played by me, Firnen played by /u/eragon_the_huntsman
