Nabbed a 5-win under Qazlal. Pastebin link: https://pastebin.com/QsqrJADC

Lessons learned:
1) Ultimate noise > ultimate silence
48647 | Crypt:2 | Noticed Mennas
48647 | Crypt:2 | Killed Mennas
2) Nightstalker mutations are a mixed blessing, unless you take a trip to the Abyss. Reduced LOS sucks in Abyss.
3) There is no such thing as overkill in Z:1-5. Blast anything with >50 damage to spare, it is reasonable.
Especially if anything = OOF.

Reduced LOS sucks in Abyss for finding the rune? I'd say that despite that, it's stilling in Abyss for avoiding monsters.

[Sorcerous]

For finding anything, I guess. Though avoiding monsters isn't viable under Q-daddy

Qazlal builds are a lot of fun aren't they.

Take your next one for all 15 runes. It's just as deadly in extended.

Super fun A full 15-win does seem like it will require at least a few spells. Or some hardcore evocations.
If the RNG feels generous, I'll try and get a full Zig into the deal.

I got a 15 rune with that build with zero spells. It's the only build I've beat extended with without any spells. But you do need to load up on invocations instead.

Lessons learned:
1) A divine halo helps you hit enemies. Also helps them shoot you dead in 4 turns or so.
2) A failure rate of 3% means you will miscast four times in a row. A >20% L9 spell is more reliable, somehow.
