CIP: One sneaky MiFi^Oka, first time ever in Extended

Hi everyone, being still a noob, I would appreciate feedback on this MiFi. I have only won lots of MiBe^Trog, some MiFi, and one GrFi, all Oka, only 3 or 5 runes (I did 5 only when I managed to find the Alchemist Hat). This one turned into something very special, it's definitely the most awesome char I ever had. Want to try going for 15, problem is I never even tried extended before, only Crypt and Vestibule a few times. And also, I never seriously played with spells. Said that, I watched a lot of UV4 videos, so I have an idea what to expect.

So basically I started as a routine MiFi but then relatively early (after the Spider rune) I found myself with these 3 available: Shadow Dragon Scales from Oka, Ring of Shadows and Boots of the Assassin. Having never tried Stealth, I thought it would be cool to try, and well, it is, amazingly so. Got to max stealth, a few other lucky drops (Alchemist Hat and Mennas dropping an eudemon blade) and I feel invincible. Either I'm walking around levels unnoticed, or if someone notices me I just slaughter them (using Finesse when needed) and rest in a quiet corner unseen. Tabbed through Vaults, Depth and Zot, one-shot stabbing golden dragons, meleeing two bersekered golden dragons at once, two-shot stabbed Khufu, etc...

For a start, I went into Pandemonium, got Holy Pan as my second level, was ridiculously easy, killed the Seraph like it was nothing, so that gave me some confidence.

Any feedback on what order to do next braches would be appreciated (Tomb definitely last, I'm terrified of it, after two Greater Mummies almost killed me in Crypt), and also on the magic. Again, I never used magic seriously before, so I chose the spells that seem like good utility (and I know them from the Ultra videos). Are there any summons that would be better than these? Mainly to break LOS and get distance... but I guess antimagic from the vipers is really cool. Or any other spells uselful for this build? Also, what skill do I need to train to increase their power? Spellcasting or the schools? Thanks to the Hat I can scum abyss for XP if needed.

For the items, I can swap the scarf of resistance to get full rF and rC, losing one MR and AC from the cloak. Also I'm kinda torn between the rings. Is Slay+4 worth losing one MR? Does it make sense to get second pip of rN for some branches from the other ring? For spellcasting, the lowest failure rates are from the Str+5, Int+2 ring.

Re: CIP: One sneaky MiFi^Oka, first time ever in Extended

Looks like a solid attempt so far, but I a still very new. Summon alone are pretty good distractions. You do have blink, but you don't have many other good panic buttons learned, such as teleport other. The only other notable summon you have available is summon forest and shadow creatures, which can distract pretty heavily I think the key to being safe in later branches is more of the correct resistance. Elf 3 can have some pretty nice artifacts too for its relative difficulty. Let us know if you get anything of note there now that you notice you skipped it.

That being said I have only won with Mi/Be, and haven't seriously tried stealth either or managed to win with magic yet. Only have done a single spriggan enchanter run and that combination seems incredibly fragile. Would love to see someone more experienced take a look at your run.

Re: CIP: One sneaky MiFi^Oka, first time ever in Extended

Progress update: got all the Pan runes, Gloorx was last and definitely the hardest, almost died and had to teleport away, but luckily managed to sneak up on him on the second try and one-shot stab him. Now on to the Hells. Also started working on Necromutation just for the heck of it. This character is really something else, the way all the items fit together is just amazing... I don't think I'll ever get something like this again, but it's great to be able to try both stealth and magic for the first time while also being a tank. The only thing missing is more rN+.

Oh well, turns out I don't have the patience to deal with all the torment and stuff... dipped into the Hells but quickly noped out of there and escaped with 10 runes. Definitely going to strive for extended from now on, but with something more noob-suitable, I guess Gargoyles.

Gargoyles have one main weakness in the late-game: hellfire. It does irresistable flat damage, which really stacks up with a gargoyle's reduced HP. Otherwise, they're almost endgame-proof.
