CIP NaAK — How to play Lugonu?

[BabyRage]

After 10 - 15 failed attempts at AK this one might actually get somewhere. I found 5(!) potions of XP pre-Lair. This and the amulet of rage let me cosplay Trog worshiper, which really helped in some situations. After looking at my morgues I realized that died a lot after 2 runes, in Vaults and Depths, where I would heavily rely on Okawaru's Heroism, Gozag potions, Trog summons etc. Lugonu just doesn't help that much and I probably under-use her abilities. Banishment falls off a little at that point, and I'm not really sure when are good times to use corrupt (one time I used it and got killed by neutral monsters and now I'm kinda afraid). So how do you play Lugonu effectively?

Train invo(you already have a decent amount but more doesn't hurt), whenever there's an enemy that might be a threat hit a-c and see if your chance to banish is above 50%(if so, banish), whenever there's a bunch of threats use corruption.

Also: don't go past d11 before going to lair(or sometimes orc-abyssal knight can do orc easy because orcs don't have good MR), and don't bother wearing hat of the alchemist at this point in the game-it hurts your AC and you don't need those resists in most parts of the game.

[BabyRage]

I already did Lair. What is a good amount of invo to have? Does corrupt scale with it in any way?

[goodcoolguy]

Make a distortion weapon and use it. Remember that distortion brand comes with an extra +2 enchant. Don't skill any more invo. 10 is more than enough. If invo has an effect on corrupt, I've never noticed it. Use corrupt liberally and remember that enter abyss exists when you're in a real bind.

[ZoFy]

I'd train Invo to about 12 because Enter the Abyss doesn't reach a reliable success rate at 10 AFAIK. Banish also scales with Invo all the way as of recently, Corrupt should as well (at least the badwiki says so).
Don't hesitate to use Corrupt on single problematic monsters like Mennas, Mara or iron giant. It can also clear or almost clear S branch (excluding Slime) and Elf endings, helps with Zot:5 a bit as well.
Consider the vulnerability + Banish combo, it deals with uniques too, including TRJ (Corrupt doesn't kill him but breaks through slime walls). Of course, your MR gets halved in the process, so be careful.
I'm surprised to see no uses of Bend Space in the morgue, i'm guessing blinking just wasn't needed.

[BabyRage]

And YAVP. Finally I'm done with AK, it took me way longer than it should have. Found Dark maul in Elf and decided to give it a try. I realized that taking 2 turns per swing may very well kill me, but I just went full balls and rolled with it. Turned out it's a great weapon against orbs of fire. 2-shotting pan lords on my way up was fun as well.

I've played a lot of AKs and even going as high as ~14 invocations never felt like a waste to me.

Banishment is amazing early, try to get at least 6 or so invocations shortly after it becomes available. It isn't as powerful later on, but remains useful throughout the whole game. Remember, it has range 8, you can banish stuff right when it enters LOS. All orc types, boggarts, the special vault dudes (especially sentinels and convokers), moths of wrath, draconians... You get very good odds on banishing all of them.

I am pretty sure invocations skill level does affect the strength of corruption.

To use corruption safely, most of the time you should activate a teleport, then use corrupt. It is better to read teleport first because there is a chance that a silent specter will come in from the abyss.

If teleportation would be too risky in your current situation, your best bet is to use ?blinking, blink spell or evocation after using corrupt. Otherwise, just try to move through the sea of abyss monsters, even fighting one or two popcorn neutrals to make room (they will turn on you if you hit them so select a path through weakest monsters).

Do note that Bend Space will hurt things adjacent to you and turn them against you, so be very careful about using it with neutrals next to you!

Also brand something with distortion, it can come in handy even when you got a great non-disto weapon. Lugonu lets you wield/unwield distortion freely.

To be honest I tried distortion and I didn't like it at all. By blinking ranged enemies you give them additional turns to attack you, and it was extremely annoying in general.

Fair enough. If you give AK a try again, you might find distortion a little less annoying on a polearm, for future reference.

I hope the TC won't mind if I piggyback on this topic a bit, but I have a couple of questions about Lugonu as well. Does distortion do extra damage or is it just for blinking opponents away to break up packs? Does corrupt affect an entire floor or just the general area around you?

From the bot

  Code:

[Distortion] inflicts a random option from "1-7 bonus damage", "3-26 bonus damage", "blink", "teleport", or {banish}

So yes it inflicts a significant bonus to damage, and it is a strong brand from this point of view, at least for fast weapon - for comparison, elec deals 8-20 dmg on 33% of hits.

Corruption affects only an area around you - I think roughly your LOS or a bit more.
It is very good to clear dangerous vaults - e.g. runes', or ones full of ood monsters - or single very dangerous monsters and so on.

This should answer your question :

distortion[1/5]: A weapon brand. When it hits, inflicts a random option from "1-7 bonus damage", "3-26 bonus damage", "blink", "teleport", or {banish}. When you unwield, you suffer wild translocation effects - up to 43 raw damage, banishment, teleport+confusion, or lots of glow. The probability of banishment from unwielding is 207/896, or about 23%.

corruption[1/2]: Makes a chunk of the current floor more Abyss-like, by shifting walls and summoning a lot of neutral creatures for 600+ turns. Useful to kill everything and to break into certain vaults. May convert altars to Lugonu altars. Usable once per floor, not usable in the Abyss. Cannot alter unnaturally hard walls.
corruption[2/2]: Don't overlook this ability. Can reliably take out the majority of uniques, including Mennas and most hellpanlords.

Cool, thank you.
