YAVP - First Win! - OgFi of Cheibriados

First I would like to thank the developers for such a great game.

I really wanted to win, therefore I stopped playing random combinations and started to focus on one. For some reason I didn't want to have my first win be a MiBe therefore I focused on Cheibriados. I was playing TrMo of Cheibriados combo before (similar build) but, splatted one of Zot 5. Initially I thought it was Troll's get weak late game, but looking back at the death, I know now how to avoid it.

Random Notes:

- I really like the combo: Large shields/Cheibriados along with leveling Strength each level. I know shields aren't mainstream but I really find them noob friendly.
- Slouch is great, used it often and early. Used it 93 times in this game, my Zot 5 splat, only used it 3, one of the main things I was doing wrong.
- First time using Borgnjor's Rev, wow what a spell for first timers
- Large Rocks were great through the early/mid game, lost their umpf late though, mainly because I stopped leveling them.
- For those having troubles getting their first win like I was, my main advice would be "SLOW DOWN", once I started playing cautiously my game dramatically improved.

Re: YAVP - First Win! - OgFi of Cheibriados

Haha I like how you say slow down and you have a play time of six ane a half hours. Most of my wins (working on my 7th) are over 20 hours. Some of that might be idle time though.

Anyway congrats on the win. Feels good.

Congratulations!

Very unusual choice for first win! I guess you can win with any melee fighter after that...

You may be the only person in history to have said that.

Congrats!

Gratz on your win! I had my first win with Chei too, I have no idea why everyone keeps thinking that he is so bad. Btw how did you decide to start ignoring dodging \ armour and start working on necro?
4 Wins so far: SEEE (4), DrWz (15), DEIE (15), MiGl (5).

Re: YAVP - First Win! - OgFi of Cheibriados

Thanks everyone.

I was mainly training Fighting/Maces/Shield throughout the game. The Necromancy was sparked because I found up a Demon Whip of pain at Level 24. Until that time I had zero points in either Necromancy or spellcasting and switched focus over there. It seemed like this was working well, again I am no expert. Initially my plan was to put those points into armour and dodging instead.

Me too. But:

Because he really is, compared to most of the other Gods.

Don't get me wrong, Chei is interesting and (IMO) fun! But at the raw mechanical level of playing and beating Crawl, I feel like Chei worship's net effect is to make it harder.
I am sure I played flawflessly. This was an utmost unfair death. -- gorbeh

This is interesting. I've always gone for a GSC with my Ogres, which provides great damage output but has cost me quite a few early deaths due to bad defense. On reflection, Shield may be the best (early) defensive option for Ogres, since they can't wear most armour or get good EV. I know expert players recommend offense over defense, but I don't play well enough to keep my fragile characters alive.

The trick though I guess is to be able to find a good one-hander - we won't all be able to find demon whips of pain in our games, alas. Though the improvement in morningstar probably makes this strategy a little more feasible now. Actually, according to the wiki morningstar is now base damage 13, accuracy -2 ; doesn't that make morningstars better than scimitar or broad axe now (both base damage 12, accuracy -2)? Hmm, I think I'm going to be trying OgFi too!

Re: YAVP - First Win! - OgFi of Cheibriados

DracheReborn,

Exactly what I was thinking.

I started doing GSC as well, but I found unless I found an early Dragon hide/Armour I was sooooo squisy. Same goes for when I was playing Trolls. The solution was switching over to a Fighter and training shields, once a large shield dropped my defenses skyrocketed.

I hear what you are saying about the morningstar, I was using a +0/+3 Freezing one right up until level 24 and was having zero issues killing stuff.

Once the demon whip of pain dropped, huge smile on my face. I was thinking to myself, if this isn't my first win I should uninstall!

Re: YAVP - First Win! - OgFi of Cheibriados

I'm wondering how you fared against fast ranged monsters, mainly centaur&yaktaur herds. As a melee I would always find a corner to hide (or march through them when I'm in a completely open space). For Chei followers the most viable option would be to use slouch, I think. What was your choice?

Re: YAVP - First Win! - OgFi of Cheibriados

I think most Chei users argue that Temporal Distortion is the thing to use against *taurs and other ranged groups....

I'm just parroting what I've seen though, I am miserably bad with Chei.

Re: YAVP - First Win! - OgFi of Cheibriados

My main strat mid game against centaurs was slouch. I used it aggressively as Piety regenerates so quickly with Chei. By the end of the game, with my shield skill and huge hp pool, I could just Tab them.

I didn't try TD on them, although I see how it could work. I found TD useful against stuff that I didn't want to Melee early on, with a large Rock combo.

It's been a long time, but I think my solution last time it came up involved renouncing religion. It worked at least as well as my other Chei strategies.

Return to YASD! YAVP! and characters in progress too
