0.12 Arena: Battle of the Uniques

64 Uniques thrown into an arena for a 1v1 tournament with bragging rights on the line.
Notes: This is played out realistically, only one battle, permadeath. Dispater & Cerebov both fell in their battle. Cerebov lasted longer, so he is granted the win but dead. So his next opponent had a bye. Antaeus killed the royal jelly then fell to jelly's friends, so he wins but is dead, hence we'll just keep the million gold prize for ourselves. 8-)

Re: Toughest enemies?

I'd say the toughest enemy is badwiki. Some people have splated 50 characters in a row to that monstrosity.
On IRC my nick is reaverb. I play online under the name reaver, though.

Re: Toughest enemies?

I'd say that Sojobo, the new tengu unique in trunk, is pretty tough. :)

^well said.

Cerebov is pretty much considered the strongest enemy in the game, the only single enemy in the game that can kill him is antaeus. Cerebov will however, often die to 4 ice fiends(or any other T1 demon).

Cerebov is probably not the most deadly unique though, I would have to say mennas and Antaeus. Mennas because of silence, Antaeus because he is followed by 4 ice fiends. I WOULD say ereshkigal, but mennas has a habit of appearing when you aren't ready, and when you are in Tartaris, you are usually READY for the worst.

Here is a list of uniques if anyone is curious: http://crawl.chaosforge.org/Unique

Have you ever tried to take down a test spawner in the arena before?

Re: Toughest enemies?

I would say the most dangerous would be the ones where you turn a corner and things get to a game over situation, I wouldn't include branch boss uniques since they are to be expected but monsters like Erolcha and Nikola who can banish you before you got any magic resistance or chain lightning you after blinking beside you.

With more matches cerebov would have reigned supreme though. And royal jelly is second. Somebody once did some extensive testing, don't remember the URL unfortunately. Your format is hilarious though :D!

What I would really want to see go down in Crawl Arena: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Godzi ... a_1974.jpg

(or some other installation of Gojira vs. a random monster with a creative name such as Destoroyah, take your pick, there are about 30 films).

We could all come along in costume as our designated monster and then have a huge brawl and see who wins.

Re: 0.12 Arena: Battle of the Uniques

Is it a box of potions of gain strength? Won't help a mage much, but at least you might be able to wear a heavier armour. It's probably better to leave them until they expire and turn into potions of beneficial mutation.

Unfortunately the steroids also make you occasionally lose your temper in combat, make your jawbone grow in an odd manner, give you acne, and do odd things to your breasts. Call it a potion of gain strength with some odd mutations to go alongside.

Re: 0.12 Arena: Battle of the Uniques

You should do another one where it's split up into weight classes (HD? spawn depth?), that way you won't deal with stuff like Nikola v Edmund. Also, uniques which spawn with bands should get some friends on their side, imo...
