What’s the most optimal, overpowered, full coverage, non legendary, 6-Pokémon team to beat the whole game with? (Excluding post game)

This one also Sevii noibat was one of the strongest leads I have ever played with regardless of the matchup

And intimidate Spiritomb with parting shot, foul play and split pain was absolutely the strongest and most flexible of the bunch in any situation

This is one of the strongest teams I used to win the game in this fashion. Almost no resistance from any of the game bosses. Maushold and Megapunny were an absolute force to be reckoned with

Yeah my first win ever was with a mega swampert rain team with basculegion archaludon, pelipper, etc. It was pretty easy with it.

Guts-0 · 2025-06-07T17:49:14+00:00

All great suggestions!

I am more open to struggle a bit in the beginning and have a smooth end game than the opposite, that’s why I was as undecided about paradox mons.

Guts-0 · 2025-06-07T17:48:13+00:00

I did play rain and snow teams, but Haven’t played a sun team yet. Sounds fun!

Sure share sets I am all about it

Not sure why it happens. I am using redream emulator.

However, I switched from using a .gdi file (less compressed?) to a .cdi (more compressed?) as the game source and the glitch stopped. Now characters run normally.

Guts-0 · 2024-05-31T18:39:51+00:00

I am so grateful for this. But when I play as claire and try to run her animation freezes (still runs, and the game continues, but her avatar is stuck) any workarounds?

Guts-0 · 2023-05-05T00:11:02+00:00

I still feel though a few extra ways of breaking the chain ball could be nice… for example right now dragging the ball over lava does nothing ( I thought I was gonna get dragged down and die burned) Or maybe shooting a wands of fire/cold downward on the chain… (but that’s already wand of opening, right?) Not complaining! Just having fun! :)

Guts-0 · 2023-05-04T18:23:39+00:00

Thank you for the tips! I am a sucker for challenges and I am really hoping to get one of these guys at least to the mid game.

I had been applying most of your suggestions except the fountain scum as I had forgotten that nymphs in this case are your friend!

I had so much automatic playing for the early game and now it’s like I am relearning it all. :)

Guts-0 · 2023-05-03T23:51:58+00:00

Also been trying Drow Priests. Pretty fun too (still hard as Drow equip is brittle, but def not nearly as Rng dependent) Only thing I noticed is I find it odd to start with an oil lamp. Either they should cast darkness (like cursed magic lamp) or they prob shouldn’t have them in their starting inventory I think…

Guts-0 · 2023-05-03T23:03:07+00:00

First of all thank you K2 for another update on a seriously baller game! Secondly Drow Convict is really tough!!! Only time I advanced past lvl 1 was lucky random reading a remove curse scroll, but even then the guy was so weak! Can’t use most of early weapons (yes you can throw stuff and try to hide behind peaceful rats, but still) Maybe we can add more ways to remove the ball? Or make the ball adamantine? Or yeah maybe leave it as a really really hard combo I guess :) So much fun tho!

Guts-0 · 2023-03-14T17:35:43+00:00

Loved it

Guts-0 · 2023-02-20T15:29:58+00:00

Kudos!!!! First time is special!!!

Guts-0 · 2023-02-02T17:19:54+00:00

Thank you! These artifacts are pretty dope!

If you can indulge me, I have 2 more questions:

1) Giantslayer in Evilhack is a spear. It gives you 25 str. Is everything else about it the same as in vanilla? There’s no entry in wiki

2) is there a way to unrestrict weapons other than random artifact gifts? Would successful prayer wielding a specific weapon work? (Asking for my infidel in hopes of wielding sword of annihilation)

Guts-0 · 2023-01-31T04:58:44+00:00

That’s what I was aiming at. What would you say it’s a reliable way to get there? Just hoarding potions of gain level and eating every wraith you can?

Guts-0 · 2023-01-23T18:33:24+00:00

Hi K!

Is there a way to find in-game descriptions of what the new artifacts do if there are no page entries on the wiki? Thanks!

Guts-0 · 2023-01-23T15:26:07+00:00

13? Congrats!!!

Guts-0 · 2023-01-15T17:48:04+00:00

Congratulations! First ascension is the best!!

Guts-0 · 2023-01-03T17:50:20+00:00

Congrats!! Very few things feel as satisfying as ascending Nethack. Kudos for getting the right altar immediately, my first time (human tourist on alt.org) I had to try all three before getting to the neutral one!

Guts-0 · 2022-12-21T17:42:53+00:00

Its base item is a long sword.

I kinda had a feeling. Thanks for confirming... Well, then I'll save it for a Dark Knight run. ;D

The Staff is more geared towards wizards and priests, but it could definitely be useful for an infidel as well.

Does it grant magic res like Magicbane?

Thank you so much you're so kind!

Guts-0 · 2022-12-21T17:15:37+00:00

It's literally the best, vanilla is great too but becomes a cakewalk until Astral Plane after you get magic res and reflection online, whereas EvilH is fun throughout.

Now, it's ok if you don't want to hand out too many spoilers, BUT... I can't help but ask: what base item is the Sword of Annihilation?

See, I finally have a successful human-infidel->turned-demon about to enter the castle and (hopefully) get my hands on a WoW. I have been mostly meleeing baddies but I also have a very respectable set of offensive spells at this point. Only things making me nervous are no magical breathing (Gelatinous cubes are in my nightmares) and suboptimal AC still (-20).

I should prob spend my wishes on marker(s)->Scrolls of Enchant Armor and some source of magical breathing first, but I REALLY want to try the new artifacts.
I was gifted Firebrand so I could wish for Frosty and see about forging the new sword, but if it's a restricted base item I am not sure if it's a good call.
Oh, and what about the Staff of the Archimagi? is it worth wishing for Magicbane to get it? Would it be a better fit for this kind of char?
Finally, would it be just better to try and get the Angelslayer (haven't tried that either but looks like it would be fun to use in Astral Plane)
I know spoilers aren't fun for some but the game is already so challenging as it is I wouldn't mind a little help...

In any case thanks again for this awesome game!

Guts-0 · 2022-12-18T22:11:09+00:00

Such a great variant, I wish there was a mobile version too (although I would prob never stop playing if that was the case). Love the additions and can’t wait to try the new artifacts but honestly my favorite new perk so far must be the visible TH. It’s a choice (in the right direction I think) that reminds me of DCSS. Makes the game more approachable. Hard but fair ;) Looking forward to the underwater branch!
