Congrats, Finarfin! This one deserves a place in the hall of heroes, for sure! I’ve been digital detoxing of late, so I just found out about this. I look forward to catching up in the next few days. For now, accept my hearty congratulations. Conan’s run was one for the ages! Cheers! A.

Thanks! There are ways of making it sound semi-impressive. For example, in a game that has sold over 5 million copies, I’m the 644th best Lily in North America. The reality, though, is that virtually no one plays my character, and I specialize in exploiting the player base’s lack of matchup...

I recently made Master rank in Street Fighter 6 with my preferred character, Lily. This was over due. For more than a year now I've had the requisite skill set to reach Master rank. It was just a matter of putting the time in. Last night I decided to set aside a couple hours to get it done...

Hey there, hi there, everyone! I'm sorry I haven't been around of late- especially with such cool stuff going on. Wise in Dragonspear (!); Finarfin's Conan facing Sendai (!!); Borco rolling an enchanter (!). I'm looking forward to catching up once I find the time. Until then, good hunting...

Ok. That simplifies things. The 6 - 8 options are underwhelming with ADHW excluded, and with the v35 HP boost the HLAs as special abilities component can force you to get creative. With the classical HLA setup it’s a simple matter of tapping 9 for DBs, leveraging illusions as needed.

The Firestorm exclusion is the one that I do have first hand experience with. I noticed that in Alena’s 4am trial. (In the 4pm re-do we switched to Sunrays.)

Good point. When double checking Jmerry’s list I confirmed that the non-Wish version of ADHW wasn’t on the demilich.itm exclusion list. That doesn’t necessarily mean that a different component couldn’t preclude it from working, though.

Yes, lol. I was sort of hedging in my initial reply because of this. I’ve seen you use spellcasting demiliches, but you seemed to be assuming the standard ones, so I wasn’t 100% sure. That’s why I floated an idea that would work for either. (The other issue was that I have limited experience...

Yes the rest is accurate. I had to check the demilich.itm file to confirm because, again, I don't have in game experience with that mechanic. The classic HLA setup makes DB an obvious go-to. You can easily stock enough, even with the elevated hitpoint total. I'm familiar with the debate on that...

The spell casting demiliches version does have MR, 100%. You are correct that the demilich.itm ring grants immunities to specific spells in addition to the blanket low level immunities. And, yes, that does imply a need to choose carefully if you’re using non-HLA spells. With the classical HLA...

We all use spellcasting demiliches. That's a given. The HLA setting distinguishes my setup from others, which is why I mentioned it. Against the spell casting version, a non-HLA energy attack approach would require taking down both his specific protections and his MR. With the exception of...

Thanks for your input, Borco! Granting her a personal item is an option. I think I'd prefer to work around the problem and let her grow into her strength, though. The fundamental problem, I think, is that I let her race ahead of her coverage. She got so far ahead that I stopped thinking of...

This is a situation where your SCS HLA mechanic setting makes a huge difference. If you play with HLAs as spells, you’ll have plenty of HLA spells to finish him. If not, maybe not. I’ve never faced Kangaxx with a mage sans HLAs as spells. Accordingly, I can’t speak from personal experience. All...

Yes. With that setting you'll see the same number of statues every time. (I use the level dependent random spawns option. I find the max spawns a little clumsy in some areas. I do think max spawns would be fitting in WK, though.)

Ava's XP was pretty low when she first entered WK, so she got the minimum number of statues.

Outstanding work with Conan, btw! You're playing well but, more importantly, you've developed a writing voice that suits the character. Keep it up! Cheers, A.

I CLUAed Ava into the area just to take the screenshot. She landed on the far side, over by the mage and yuan-ti. As an fyi, it is possible to walk around over by the rice bags, though.

According to the SPL file it applies Sleep (39), duration 1, probability 100, no save.

Ava, Halfling Swashbuckler: Gratuitous XP Hunting in and Around Athkatla A few weeks ago, my updates on Ava's game ground to a halt. Upon reviewing the screenshots, I now understand why that happened at the exact moment it did. This part of Ava's adventure was unlovely- unstylish, uncool...

It's on an angle in front of the stairs. It starts over by bags of rice or whatever on the left and ends near the crate just to the right of the stairs. Here's a screenshot from an Ava save: As for your survival probability, it was pretty high. That's a 14d6, no save. With 61HP, you had a...
