OpXX - update: finally won

Saturday, 20th May 2017, 18:59 by Vajrapani

Summoner is the only book start that I can stand playing, and playing melee octopode gives me a heart attack every fight, so OpSu is the combo I've decided upon to finally get an octopode win. However most of my experience outside of the standard Oka/Makhleb/Trog trinity has been with chei, and I doubt he's a good choice for a squishy caster, so I'd like to know which gods complement the summoner start well .(Not including sif muna, I dislike playing this god)

EDIT: OpSu is very powerful but it's not terribly fun to play over and over,especially when you die after making it pretty far, so I'll be trying an Op of the blaster-caster variety. Any advice there will be appreciated.

With an Op, I usually go with Fedhas. But if you want to rely on summons you can try other gods.

Ash is good, assuming you can survive the early game.

TSO is decent because the aura helps your summons to-hit. However some summoning spells are not usable with TSO, most notably Call Imp.

Kiku is fine, but zombies are a bit redundant with summons.

Ru is good for anything.

Gozag is normally good, but I haven't played with it much.

Sif tbh. Sif ensures you will get the higher-level summoning spells in a timely fashion and aren't entirely in the hands of the RNG in this regard.

Too bad you don't like Sif, eh? Based on my experience with Hep so far, Hep with a melee ancestor might be a good bet. You get a permanent tanky ally alongside the temporary ones that you can use to shift your summons or your enemies around, e.g. dragging damnation-spammers right into a ring of your summons with a well-placed Transference. Then again, Hep is a god that everyone can get some use of. Same goes for Ashenzari, who's also a good default bet. If you want to be unthematic, you can also just go with Kiku and transition into a necromancer, retaining some minor synergy with Summoning if you get Haunt.

I found the grand grimoire on d:3, so I should be set for high-level summoning spells, so I guess I'll go for Hep. If this run fails, I'll try out Sif again and then perhaps Ashenzari.

Hep is fine, it will tank well. OpBe is strong, and the heart attacks only occur when u see ranged units or large rocks.

Ok, I got destroyed a by a Yaktaur bolt. Pretty stupid death but I guess I got overconfident since my summons were shredding through every single enemy and thought that I could at least melee a yaktaur captain without any resource use. RMsl is gone, and I needed exp on other skills so I couldn't use it to get 15 shield skill and use a regular shield to boost my defense. There's no way these archer enemies can hit up to to full-screen right? Because if they can, Op just seems incredibly RNG based.

Obviously this death was stupid, but I imagine I can probably get 1-shot by 2-3 yaktaurs on the first turn encountering them on a fairly reasonable roll

My suggestions:

1. Play an IE in an older version before Ozo's was nerfed
2. Play an EE in an older version before Stoneskin was removed
3. Play a Cj in an older version before Battlephere was removed from the starting book

In general, play an older version that does not suck. Octopodes are hard enough, you don't need an additional challenge.

Monday, 22nd May 2017, 19:02 by njvack

IE even in modern versions is good. You get AC, Freeze is very good, and Ice Beasts are great summons. Kiku is a good choice if you like the summon lifestyle in general.

Monday, 22nd May 2017, 19:13 by njvack

... also, if there were ever a character who could actually make use of Cigo's Embrace, it would be OP^Kiku.

Tuesday, 23rd May 2017, 09:45 by stickyfingers

Cigo is usable in armour, so is good for many Kikuites. Ozo and statue are incompatible with it, and good for Octopodes.

My advice for OP - train more dodging. Dodging should be your highest skill most of the time. Train way less spellcasting, it's only mildly helpful.

Tuesday, 23rd May 2017, 21:13 by tasonir

If you really like OpSu, I suppose that's your choice, but I'm just saying the combination isn't all that powerful. OpEE is great for converting to statue form, of course, but also isn't really all that great up until then.

I'm not sure hep is a great choice - for reasons never clear to me, octopodes have -10% health, and stacking another -10% health on top of that hurts. If you do want to go summoning, sif could be a good choice and will make sure you have statue form if you want to hybridize in the late game, but I'd probably recommend gozag instead. Summoning jewelery shops can be unreliable, but if you do manage to get 1-2 of them, it'll help considerably.

Chei is great once you're already casting statue form and powerful, but is especially bad when you're still struggling in the mid game due to no armor. If you want to keep using Chei, I'd do it after switching from a better early game god, like Gozag or Sif or Okawaru.

Along with the general summons theme:

I used to do relatively well with Yred when I did try Octopodes a bit. Although that was before Yred got somewhat nerfed a couple versions back... It should still have some potential.

Just died in Zot:5 with a statue-form OpEE due to sloppy play. Fuck.

At least it's not a problem with octopodes themselves, and I can play up to the 1st lair branch(if it's spider or swamp) very easily without statue-form. Octopode #10 is dead, my best attempt yet, but I will continue.

Code:: Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup version 0.20.0-15-g7f486f2 (webtiles) character file. 1705049 Vajrapani the Sensei (level 27, 292/292 HPs) Began as an Octopode Fighter on June 22, 2017. Was the Champion of Makhleb. Escaped with the Orb ... and 3 runes on June 25, 2017! The game lasted 04:48:00 (71519 turns).

I won eventually after an embarrassing 76 attempts, the least RNG-dependent Op is probably Fi^Yred and then switching to Makhleb once statue is castable. Saves alot of frustration once you hit lair branches and still haven't found statue, and then die due to a lack of proper killdudes to deal with the area you are in, since bone dragons and servitors shred absolutely everything.

Yred wrath is nothing by the time you are a depths-level character, and Makhleb heals carry you the rest of the way.

I just won an octopode myself - First win in a WHILE. Feels pretty strong late game - being omniresistant with a dexterity of 35 makes up for the lack of ac.

I think I like deflect missiles more than statue form on octopodes. Who knew?

This is pretty fair, really. If you're going to be doing a fair amount of damage through your spells (and with bolt of cold/freezing cloud I assume you did) then statue form is just a 50% slow. What statue form does is enables octopodes to transition into melee tank builds, which is great if you want to melee, but not really that important if you're casting high level spells and killing at range.

And Ozo's armor is pretty decent AC without the whole -50% casting speed.
