This is not a consistent way of finishing V5 but I wanted to share it: HoGl of Uskayaw: F+ N+++ rpois Mr ++++ That's it for resists. No relec, no rcorr, not even C+ No potions of resistance (still haven't seen them) AC: 43 Do: 16 Sh: 6 broad axe of elec +0 Slaying bonus from items: +2 Fighting+Axe s...

Instead of walking into the lungs or if you want to decrease the # of monster you have to fight at once in unfav. terrain: A: Using alarm traps 1. find an alarm trap. 2. dig a kill hole as close to the entrance of the 6 chambers as possible 3. step into alarm trap 4. fight whatever is coming 1 vs 1 ...

Yes, this killhole would have better then mine.

I chose the holy weapon because I didn't knew when Mara would create my ghost. I didn't want to face this weapon. Holy brand is harmless to me. I was in a kill hole where I needed a few turns to get out when my ghost came. I used might+haste. Problem was: each time Maras HP came down another copy to...

Yes, let's make it short: Tabstorm's reply is my thinking also

I agree with everything except Tornado. Any character can use Tornado (even Felid without Transmutations, it takes 1 turn to cast and then you can do whatever you would do even without Tornado). 54 AC+EV total is totally fine and more importantly it had Makhleb. ok, then let me clarify it: yes, eve...

You died while having only F+++ and rcorr in addition to what your char started with. Not even C+ while facing an Ice Fiend. Only N+ while facing several tormentors. A garg has such an easy time to get max resists. Against 1 or 2 tormentors + popcorn it will work. Against anything else you rely on b...

If you do join a clan then playing the tournament will make you a better player. Well it does, if you do want your team to succeed. Happened to me a long time ago. I don't actually have any friends who play this game, I also don't think I will be a good candidate for a team since I don't have many ...

I started a game before the official begin of a former tournament (0.17 or 0.18) where it did count towards the tournament when I got the win.

Points are calculated when you start your MiBe game. So it does not matter how many MiBes will be won while you are still playing it. That's why some players start several easy games simultaneously (MiBe, GrGl, VSFi etc.), on different servers of course. Not sure if the same works with gods (I assu...

Welll, you get points for wins based on rarity of race, background, god determined by the time you get the win. This means (for getting points) you start with MiBe of Trog ...unless you think that by the time you've won that combo you won't get many points for it anymore. In this case (getting more ...

A tournament is an event for the unwashed masses to celebrate a new and better version of the reality we live in : crawl. What's special: - you can be in a team. Not only single players can win but also teams. It is part of the divide and conquer strategy of the developers to keep us players struggl...

You have imprison (for nasties) and Sanctuary (if you want a 100% way of getting out of trouble).
You can even leave your sanctuary (losing the protection) and move outside (at least it was in 0.18).
You can use sanctuary as a no-monsters-allowed-area.

You get a request when you want to remove an item which would lower your attributes <=0 (thankfully). I played it offline because I wanted to see how Jiyva behaved. Didn't want to realize after hours of playing that my char is screwed :D To me it means it is a nice good for a radical change of your ...

Ended the game with just 10 str. My 3 items with +str give +10, +4, +4 Down to -8 str unmodified it seems that Jiyva only takes the modified attributes into account which means: a) just put on the biggest positive modifier. Jiyva will convert it to ... something b) don't rely on ever removing these ...

Troll of Jiyva.
15 Str
18 str from items
0 str from mutations
-------
-3 str would be my actual str without str from items.

Is this intended ?

Version 0.18 offline
(Yes, I could most likely reverse this process by wearing heavy armour)

Noone denies that DG have higher stats. Hp helps, of course. Mr less so because we are not talking about improving your % in a single encounter but over a streak where the thread starter had to make 1000s of decisions whether he faces someone who can hex him. A % of 2% or 20% isn't important here : ...

Ashenzari is a weak god. When I reach * with it, I am already in Lair. I haven't played Ashenzari in 0.18, but I assume that Detect Monsters is still almost useless at low peity. Detect monster is almost useless in almost any case but when you need it it becomes invaluable. I've been abyssed with A...

DG is a bit easier before you would have gotten * or ** with a god of your choice. I am not sure. There are literally 3 temple gods with useful abilities at * and **: Trog, Fedhas and Okawaru and I don't think many players join those with magic backgrounds. DgWz and alike stay more powerful than Hu...

I've seen your streak and my first thought wasn't "That's impressive" but "WTF???" :D To those who think/write/say that DG is easy: DG is a bit easier before you would have gotten * or ** with a god of your choice. Then DG becomes harder than almost any other combo because there ...

Anything that was threatening (especially with ranged attacks) got my full attention. Subl. of blood+regen is excellent while walking. Now you're regaining hp+mp.

Vitalization is strong just for the stat boosts, but its primary purpose is to protect you from negative statuses. This is great in Tomb (and those annoying little green x's in Abyss that give Sickness). Vitalization is also good if you don't have poison resistance: activate it when Green Deaths et...

I've never really messed with Zin. I needl to look up his abilities 1. at max piety: 100% mutation resistance 2. Vitalization: among other things: stat boost by invo/3 That's +9 to each stat at 27 invo. 3. Sanctuary (at high piety): you've brought yourself into a situation where you know that you'l...

1. Opened the door near the exit
2. No walls. Took some steps
3. A goblin hits me with poisoned tomahawks. Haven't even seen an unknown potion
4. Death

Is there a reason why you chose Ghoul ?
Ghouls are good in melee (claws), poison immunity, torment immunity....but they pay for this with bad stats.
You played a caster with... 12 Int but 17 str ?
That's pretty terrible for a caster in Lair, so compared to almost any other race your spell power sucks.

Remove your hat.
See what happens when your Int is lowered to 0 then (brainless, slowed).
Cacodemons/Neqoxeqs can lower your Int from a distance.
Don't run around with Int 3 or have at least a ring of sust. attr.

Otherwise: what Wahaha wrote

You're never safe except when you're able to deal with anything.
It might happen to you to get an OOF in Zig level 1.
Or a single Pan Lord.

It is not that likely but it happens sometimes.
Think about the worst thing to happen to you.
If you can survive/beat/escape it: you're fine.

No Necromut.

Situation: 2 elefants (hostile) + me. Evoked velocity card from a (stacked) deck of escape. Result: 1 hostile elefant hasted. Noone else.

This char is a high risk char.

Does that apply to Ice Fiends as well?

Probably should have cancelled instead of losing 5 max HP. Oh well... It sounded like you didn't know what to do against petri and still felt bothered. I provided a solution.

80/80 Seriously though, all these mummies are killing me, literally. How do I deal with torment? Even Makhleb can't keep up because mummy death curses also torment me. Statue Form is not helping that much either. Torment is damage as a % of your health. The lower your HP the lower the next damage s...
