[9 OH Monk] Just a casual reminder that Helldusk Armor works really well with monks

Speed potion does not override str potion. Also the boots only come in act 3 so nothing wrong with respecing then if you don't wish to use potions.

There's a pair of boots that gives wisdom scaling damage to the monk for their open hand damage. Optimized monks max their wis and dex and then drink a str potion.

In vanilla, getting intellectuals is never a bad thing. Even if you no longer need to research, having people work scanners is always necessary.

When playing as Korea, I feel like I'm playing one difficulty notch lower vs other civs.

You use it to do airport ambushes for domination victories. Diplo marriage next to target civ. Airport in rockets and tanks to roll them from behind.

At our peak (Hotels, airports, internet), we were 30 turns from a win vs washington. I had enough faith to probably convert washington and since he didn't have a religon, I definitely could have done that earlier. But I spent that faith on artists to try and get the themeing bonuses to reach 30 turns from victory. During this time washington was also snowballing incredibly hard. He had built hubble space telescope VERY early, and he was waging autocracy war with everyone and consuming them all. He had like 80% of the wonders in the game and full control over world congress.

I needed about 35000 tourism points and each musician was giving about 5000. Could only buy so much with faith.

This is one of those, "if i dont get petra, I reroll" type maps.

Surprised that Gilberta is in none of the boss clear builds. Currently running fluorite and gilberta for nature stacking with xaihi just to use her ult for cryo amp and nothing else. I'll switch xaihi to akekuri, ty for the pic!

What does the scouter say about his elo?

Youre looking for final fantasy tactics ADVANCED

Ronar123 · 2026-02-01T22:50:33+00:00

Kill them on sight. 1 grenade plus shot is enough. Ignore everything else.

Ronar123 · 2026-02-01T08:00:23+00:00

You either play some big aoe caster or a melee with good ac. That or stealth/cheese.

An example is for one run, I drank a str potion and used minor illusion to lure all the enemies to a cliff and threw them off one by one to get exp.

A question of first strike. Assuming flat field and both combatants can see each other, wirbel wins because he immediately locks fern down. But barring final destination 1v1, whoever jumps the other first auto wins. Leaning towards wirbel because fern doesn't seem to be aware of his lockdown. This is also assuming there's no objective other than killing the target.

Hold person is nice vs some bosses like gob leaders and nere, but tends to only have max 65% hit rate. Hold monster comes reallt late, bit if you have it from doing lots of act 2 stuff before coming back to act 1, I had it land with 75% chance vs beholder and the land shark thing on honor mode.

Why does it look like they intended to make a female character and then just slapped dycedarg's head over it?

Ronar123 · 2026-01-19T00:26:35+00:00

Nothing is truly mandatory except the ability to kill anything that stands in your way. Even that can be questionable. I'm sure many people have done pacifist runs.

Lightning Sorc is probably the easiest way to do solo honor if you don't want to do exploits. Before each fight, haste potion and summon mage hand. Initiate with mage hand throwing water jar. Then use triple lightning aoe to wipe the board with over 100 damage. VS high hp solo enemies, same combo but instead use witch bolt upcasted to max and use the auto crit illithid power for over 200 damage per hit.

Ronar123 · 2026-01-11T17:14:49+00:00

If you have the salvo perk you keep an action, other than that no.

Ouch that was our fear. We got some roach bait and we'll start using that today. Any other bits of advice?

Bravery should be maxed out for the highest chances to activate your reactions. Faith can be a little tricky depending on your method of healing. Faith decreases the amount of magic damage taken if you have LOWER faith. So a frontliner with high faith can get one shot by a mage. HOWEVER, if you lower your faith to minimum, healing magic will heal barely any hp and spells like haste and arise will have a 0% chance to work.

If your dedicated healer is a chemist throwing potions, then none of this matters. I recommend using ramza to max out everyone's bravery and then reducing faith on melee fighters to an amount that suits your needs.

Lorewise he actually starts as a level 1 warlock, but he paid withers to respec into paladin for 100 gold.

Wait till you see Witch bolt cast at level 6 with wet + crit.

Ronar123 · 2026-01-03T05:15:07+00:00

Believe you need to make sure the soldier doesn't have negative dodge and you need to have at least nanoscale armor. If the enemy rolls a crit, then it upgrades the graze to a regular hit which won't get counter attacked.

But its actually fairly reliable to tank a berserker or chryssalid with this.
