Love the TK start, lets you have cheibriados right from turn 0, makes for a very smooth start and no question of if you're delaying Chei out of some belief that makes the early game easier (it generally doesn't, some exceptions apply). And I mean, starting with a plate armor is just huge. This is actually only the 5th VSTK I've ever played, and they were all going branchless runs.

Overall the run was very smooth and I was rarely threatened. Finding the dragon king's armor definitely helped, but I knew I'd ultimately have to give it up for statue form, so I didn't train armor skill much. The expected hard floors were a bit tricky - right after you enter a new branch, you've effectively skipped 1-2 branches, and so the next floor or two can be dicey. I found the portal to Elf on Depths:1, and was definitely very afraid of the high end Elves in there. I think I was first casting statue form right around that time, and so I went back down to not having many resistances. For almost all of Depths/Zot I only had a single rF or rC ring, and swapped between them for Zot Children (you really want rC here) and rF (for most anything else). I got the elemental staff late, which is one of my favorite unrands and a great weapon, but there's no way I can suddenly train evocations and staves just for style points - unarmed is still much, much more damage.

Somewhere towards Zot I picked up some bad mutations and had to shuffle them a few times, although I was usually able to remove frail which it just kept giving me over and over again. I think I did most of Zot:5 with frail AND low energy, which is basically frail 2 for a vine stalker. Fortunately, when in the vestibule of hell, I got what is probably the single greatest potion of mutation roll I've ever seen:

  Code:
* You feel extremely strange.
*  You feel more energetic. You feel robust. You feel healthier.
*  You feel resistant to negative energy. You feel resistant to heat.
* _You feel agile.


Removes frail, low energy, and degeneration. Adds rF, rN, and +5 dex (hellcrawl gives a lot of stats on stat mutations). Considering I was about to go through Gehenna with only a single swappable rF ring, picking up rF as a mutation was huge. I didn't end up running into too much damage in Gehenna, so I'd probably have been fine without it, but it's still nice to have.

The hardest part and place I was very, very afraid I was about to die was fighting the Seraph in vestibule of hell. It'd probably make a good -footv; I had to teleport around, blink, use step from time several times. It failed on me two times at ~12% fail - not in a row, just during different escapes. I teleported out, landed in an area with a lot of monsters still, and then had seraph come join the fight again. I hit teleport again, and it lands me ~4 tiles away from where I started, still in the fight. Teleport again...etc etc. I did finally land in a "easy" enough fight to clear it, regenerate up, and then when the Seraph came after me again, he was (mostly) alone and I killed it. Almost all of the time I was struggling to teleport had me at roughly 10-20 hp. Fortunately due to being a vine stalker that isn't quite as bad as it sounds, as I had mana. I quaffed a couple of potions of magic while waiting for teleports to kick in, so I wasn't quite a single smite away from death, but I still could have easily been killed by roughly 3 smites.

Flamebait time: Chei is the best god, Statue form is the greatest spell, Makhleb can go die in fire somewhere, and weapons are for losers. So are conjurations and summons. :) 20% branchless VSTK winrate! The other four: 1 died on D:1 (Iguana), two died in depths, and one died in zot. So not a bad consistency, really.

Re: Hellcrawl. Branchless. Cheibriados.

Yeah vestibule in hellcrawl is one of the main reasons I started gravitating to dragon form vs statue form on non-chei transmutators. It can get rough fairly fast if you try to fight. Chei of course can slouch a few times and quickly :D change the dynamic.

Re: Hellcrawl. Branchless. Cheibriados.

If you aren't super opposed to it, I think it'd likely be easier to scum zot:5 once you pick up the orb, just clear orb spawns for a level or two to make vestibule a bit easier. I did go somewhat slowly through vestibule to gain a level or two, which made hell a lot easier. I entered Zot:5 at level 21 and had to fight orbs of fire before I hit 22, but yet by the time I finished Zot:5 and vestibule, I was level 25 before I entered Gehenna. That made a huge difference, especially since VS have -30% hp (before statue form, at least). I was honestly a bit surprised how much HP I was able to add; I was training fighting and unarmed only at that point.

Re: Hellcrawl. Branchless. Cheibriados.

Just 2 1/2 hours? You should be ashamed of yourself, rushing a Chei character so much.

Re: Hellcrawl. Branchless. Cheibriados.

Well I only did 4 branches! The game counted 6; I think it's still considering elf a "branch" and possibly the bazaar? not really sure what the 6th was, but in any case branchless is a pretty short run.

I could always take some breaks to run up the clock if you want though :)
