Dungeon Crawlers' Combos of Choice

[MyOtheHedgeFox]

Which combos do you like the most? Are there any good no-spell combos?

An example of a traditional combo is Imps + Mephitic Cloud; another good combo is Petrify + Rapid Deconstruction (Shatterflesh) or Petrify + Inner Flame + Rapid Deconstruction.
More elaborate combos may include deliberate use of wands of random effects, healing an opponent or projecting some noise to stray a few opponents away.

[XuaXua]

Inner Flame + Charm

[tormodpwns]

Mephitic/Poisonous Cloud + Ignite Poison.
Ensorcelled Hibernation + Bolt of Inaccuracy.
Vulnerability + Polymorph.
Tomb + Vitrification + smiting spell.

[MyOtheHedgeFox]

Inner Flame + Fireball / Bolt of Fire. Especially if you manage to innerflame a few weak hostile summons that can't get to you or a few undead thralls. Even though it is hard to perform this combo, it can take out literally any enemy you will meet in the regular Dungeon branches -- except some from the Realm of Zot, I guess.

Another good choice is Sticky Flame + Inner Flame on the coward.

[MyOtheHedgeFox]

Rain of Fedhas Madash + a weapon (of electrocution). A very convenient replacement of Liquefaction.

[MyOtheHedgeFox]

Polymorph an armed enemy, make him move away from his items, pick up his weapon and make it Dance. Could be nice with the help that Ashenzari provides.
More useful for the hilarious effect.

[MyOtheHedgeFox]

If you follow the code of Fedhas Madash, think about carrying a corpse of a weak opponent with you whenever you can. If you encounter a group of enemies in a sutiation you don't want to be in, throw a corpse there and ask it to spit out a spore.

zapping lightning bolt through air elemental meatshield

[XuaXua]

Polymorph an armed enemy, make him move away from his items, pick up his weapon and make it Dance.

This is mostly a complete shit move because polymorphed humanoids into other humanoids shouldn't drop their weapons.

Do note: I'm complaining about the crappy humanoid - humanoid morphing item drop event rather than your tactic, actually.

[PerverseSuffering]

Fire Storm + Fire Storm + Crystal Spear + Fire Storm.

[njvack]

polymorphed humanoids into other humanoids shouldn't drop their weapons.

I dunno. I'd probably drop whatever I was carrying if someone turned me into a kobold.

"Aaaaagh! My hands are too ugly, I don't want to stain my shiny sword!"

[Tutankham]

Killer combo: "Overestimate self" + "Meet dangerous opponent".

Works every time.

[TwilightPhoenix]

Orb of Destruction + Fire/Ice Storm = for when you must absolutely, positively, make something explode.

Orb of Destruction + Enemy Orb of Destruction = Dangerous but hilarious if it works

Zombies/Skeletons + Mephitic/Poisonous Cloud = Undead slaves slaughtering poisoned and confused enemies

[Hirasi]

Conjure Flame + Mephitic Cloud + Orcs in a corridor = self-cooking pork

[varsovie]

slow on self + slouch (in a bee vault )

[jejorda2]

Are there any good no-spell combos?

Darts of Dispersal or Boots of Running combine well with reaching weapons or launchers.

Tomb + Vitrification + smiting spell.

What's left that still works on the other side of a wall?

[TwilightPhoenix]

Controlled Tele mutation + Blink mutation.

[pratamawirya]

Hi guys.

Troll + Statue Form + Haste = my preciousss.

[tormodpwns]

Tomb + Vitrification + smiting spell.

What's left that still works on the other side of a wall?

Airstrike, Firestorm, Haunt, Smite.

[MyOtheHedgeFox]

Well... Tomb + Regeneration + Shatter after healing, then.

[MyOtheHedgeFox]

Not quite by the way, will dancing weapons use their brands during the dance?

[eeviac]

None of those work through translucent walls in 0.10. If you find something that does it's probably a bug.

What about eyes? They were getting me through translucents a few days ago.

[TehDruid]

Metal Music + Trog + TAB = BEYOND GODLIKE!

You may add + Beer if you like it to the first part of the equation.

I'm quite sure this is by design. There are 'eyes behind glass' vaults for exactly this type of fun.

[JeffQyzt]

^ I thought Evilmike updated them all to use grates instead of glass? Or was that just the non-eye smiters...

[tormodpwns]

I know I found a brain worm behind some iron grates that almost made me brainless, but iono about the eyes.

[MyOtheHedgeFox]

Enslave a Giant Eyeball and do something else meanwhile.

[varsovie]

Metal Music + Trog + TAB = BEYOND GODLIKE!

You may add + Beer if you like it to the first part of the equation.

For me beer = YASD

(Ok, was more than one beer...)

[TwilightPhoenix]

Enslave + Duvessa = Dead Dowan without a Berserked Duvessa.

[MyOtheHedgeFox]

Enslave + Duvessa = Dead Dowan without a Berserked Duvessa.

This is not a combo: more of a special key to this battle group. This won't work reliably on most other enemies. And it is just enslavement.

[defen]

Cheibriados + tab + Bach = YARD (Yet Another Relaxing Death).

[Mackerel]

I successfully cast Poison Cloud to the other side of a glass wall earlier today. Actually to the inside of a glass vault, where there were four unseen horrors.

[Un67]

Sticky Flame + High Speed = best kiting experience ever. Just saying.

[Zicher]

SpVM of Vehumet + Haste + DMsl + Poison Arrow = Poison Arrow Gatling Gun.
Throw in some Potions of Overconfidence Avoiding, and you have a winner!
