Deadliest unique per floor

[mattlistener]

I checked in on the "deadliest monster per floor" data from this post and found that not much has changed in 14 months. Mainly that Spark Wasps have now ceded their deadliest badge both to Emperor Scorpions on Spider:4, and to Caustic Shrikes on Depths:5, and that Orbs of Fire fell below Draconians in Zot:1-4.

So, I thought to make a listing of the deadliest uniques by floor, along with a % total of that floor's deaths they represent.

Now what I'm interested to figure out is is a way to compare the deadliness of uniques. eg "In what % of games in which the player sees <unique>, the player is killed by them."

Is there a sequell query that would do that? Or some other comparative-deadliness measure that isn't distorted by, for example, the vastly greater number of games in which Natasha is seen than Nikola is seen?

Not possible. Seeing a unique does not create a milestone, only killing them does.

[Siegurt]

This data tells me we clearly need some more dangerous high level undead uniques for the crypt and tomb.

[VeryAngryFelid]

This data tells me we clearly need to nerf Rupert. It is ridiculous, if it is top killer on D:13 what is it doing on Lair:2???

Edit. Can someone create top killer among uniques per PC XL table? This can be useful as then we can directly compare uniques from different branches.

[duvessa]

Tiamat is the top unique killer in Zot, doesn't mean she needs a nerf.

[Shard1697]

By that logic Lernaean hydra ought to be nerfed because it has huge kill rate, but that kinda ignores all the things that are good at killing lerny and how most people who die to it are just tabbing around through swamp

[gameguard]

polymetheus with 10% is surprising. Never found him particularly scary. He usually just gets petrified by the catalepus lol.

Tiamat is the top unique killer in Zot, doesn't mean she needs a nerf.

Tiamat is the only killer-of-players unique in Zot.

[15:04] <mattlistener> !Lg * recent !boring place=Zot s=killer killer=uniq
[15:04] <Sequell> 43 games for * (recent !boring place=Zot killer=uniq): 43x Tiamat

[Airwolf]

I can't think of another unique besides Tiamat that can appear in Zot. I suppose you could drag one down from Depths. Or a HellPanLord could appear on the Orb run.

Edit: Stupid challenge: die to Crazy Yuif on Zot:5.

[duvessa]

That was my point. Rupert gets most of the unique kills in Lair:3-6 because very few other uniques can generate there, and the ones that do are pretty easy to deal with (aside from Nessos sometimes, I guess).

[VeryAngryFelid]

And my point was that when one unique is more dangerous than any other on a wide selection of floors, it should probably be nerfed or at least it should not appear that early.
I would rather meet Mennas, Nicola or Mara on Lair:3, they don't kill you from range 7.
