Chaos Knight

I want to get a win with each race, class and god. Which races are most survivable as a Chaos Knight?

Re: Chaos Knight

Troll is one of my 5 races already won. Others are mi, gr, og and ds. Any others?

Re: Chaos Knight

Centaur would be the easiest, then.

Re: Chaos Knight

You could really just go as anyone and then abandon Xom for an actually decent god, unless you want to play as Xom all game and not just have the CK title?

Re: Chaos Knight

Some races are much better than other races for starting as a melee character with a bad weapon and then surviving Xom's wrath.

Re: Chaos Knight

Since the OP explicitly said they want to win with every god, they probably want to stay with Xom

Re: Chaos Knight

That +2 robe on the troll is really powerful. Try Ogre?

Re: Chaos Knight

If you've only won five races, and are against doing conversion shenanigans to get the Xom win or repeating races/backgrounds, I suggest shelving Chaos Knight for now and picking up some wins with more fragile species. Sticking with Xom the entire game as a non-Troll is much much more difficult than just winning with any other race or background, as he will create stupid exasperating problems for you through the entire game for no significant reward and no beneficial god.

Re: Chaos Knight

Eh, Xom isn't that bad, really. On a strong race, anyway. I think a TrCK was like my seventh win? But yeah, that's a Troll for you.

Re: Chaos Knight

I tried winning MfCK during last tourney... was dying a lot... Finally managed to get 3 runes with a promising one... only to be killed by Xom on Zot:5.

Suggestion: Play a draconian caster instead.

Oh, disregard - it's late and I had AK on the brain when you said CK.

That's my GhCk of XOM (15 runes) and my reasons for chosing him

Re: Chaos Knight

The most survivable race for a Chaos Knight is Vine Stalker IMO. The bonus regeneration helps a lot to avoid making Xom BORED.

Re: Chaos Knight

Xom boredom doesn't matter. It just makes him do a single bad action, which is almost always nothing.

Re: Chaos Knight

I would vote trolls as most survivable ck, because trolls.
