Important note: Remember how Gray found a hero from one of his previous campaings? The same can happen during any campaign. In fact, it's possible to make only certain heroes have potential to show up, which means Gray can have it set to the crew from the campaign that just finished, or the fan favorites, or whatever.

Just lol if you don't have like a trillion heroes kicking around your legacy and can remember and cheerfully recall all of them. (Please send help.) At any rate, Eluna and the Moth is probably the best of the stories, and also quite hard. AtBoS is good too, but EatM drops maybe my favorite line in the game. You're gonna get two mystics anyhow, try making one of them either a Vigorflow user or whatever the defensive one is called (or both) and wade them out there with serious person weapon and a bow. I scored 160 kills with a single character on the Tragic Hero version of this campaign--a Vigorflow mystic running a rapier/shield in one set and a bow in the other.

Eluna and the Moth, since it has the most "poetic" name IMO.

I don't know why we are voting, I don't remember the OP giving us a choice specifically. Regardless though, I was rather interested in the concept of the three chapter random campaign, I mean how on earth could that possibly work? When does it know when to stop?

Eluna and the Moth - 10 Monarchs under the Mountain - 4 All the bones of summer - 7  So the Grey Hunters shall face Eluna and the Moth, or help. I have no idea, I've not played this one!  We not get to choose our heroes - we have two mystics, who are siblings. we can accept the random ladies here, or pick something else. We also get to choose a Warrior and Hunter - we can choose a new random, or we can pick a legacy character. Did some of our heroes take time off to help these kids out? Legacy characters start with one skill, except for Ciara and Yvilde, who I upgraded and now start with a choice of 2! Hard choices ahead!

A glorious new adventure awaits. Bring in Yvilde as the Hillpainter on this one. And give Molis a chance as the warrior here. She's already in the slot after all.

Grandma bird frog Yvilde as the hillpainter, with one of your other legacy characters as the warrior, just to show them off.

These new Mystic sisters look good - keep them. I'll join the votes for Yvilde as Hillpainter and Molis as our Warrior. Since this campaign starts with the double Mystics, this is the one where I tried out a Vigorflow archer build. Can confirm, powerful and fun.

Oh this campaign has legacy heroes too. Let's go with Yvilde and Molis, may our fallen heroes rise again. Definitely do something to avoid using up all the scenery with two mystics. Vigorflow is a good choice since you can fuel your attacks with just about anything, other good alternatives are naturalist (creates new scenery with naturalist+, while interfused with it can attack with it as a swift action) and spiritblade (can give allies fire attacks with blazes, does generally require a fire source).

I ran the warrior as a raider, who can, you know, make blazes. 1)Raider is absurdly good. 2)Vigorflow is busted damage, and even better with extra attacks. It's really handy to be able to just delete anything shy of those dragons (gently caress the fairy dragons) in one shot. Killing two enemies is just icing. Edit Is Raider the best ability in the game? Maybe. Vigorflow is up there. Indignance is up there. Every defensive skill, especially the armor/warding boosting one. Rogue. Quelling Moss....... God, it's hard. It feels like most skills in this game are ridiculous. Veryslightlymad fucked around with this message at 17:56 on Nov 1, 2022 |

I like how Wildermyth runs on story logic and that what’s canonically true is fluid. It can be true that Molis was having these Thrixl adventures (possibly to die on them), while simultaneously true that she had all those Morthagi adventures with the Griffons and died there. And weren’t Molis and Yvilde supposed to be very different ages? It doesn’t matter. Stories are fluid. It can all be true.

Unless I had a fever dream, I am pretty sure there is at least one event that checks if a parent is younger than one of their children. It's certainly a thing you could mod in.

There's one in a mod I made - I assume some other event mods probably have similar ones too. I don't think any of the stock events do, though.

It's entirely possible I saw it in demo text from a mod event. I don't use any non cosmetic mods (yet), but I have certainly checked a few out. Might have even been yours, if you put it on the workshop. Edit I'm always disappointed there's no true full campaign mods. I'd put one up myself, but my programming, even with tutorials, is.... Sketchy. Veryslightlymad fucked around with this message at 18:10 on Nov 1, 2022 |

Tossing in a vote for Xanlor. I feel like we didn't get to see anything of him, so why not let him have the spotlight?

It's busted in a ton of ways, though. 1)All your attacks get the poison, too. 2)It hits a huge AoE at a decent range, which sets up a crazy amount of flanks 3)Anything that has fewer HP than your stacks is already dead, and can be ignored entirely. 4) It's not a full action. It could do 0 damage and 2 and 4 here would make it worth taking anyhow. Adding in its actual effect is bonkers.

That wiggle room for when an enemy doesn't quite die is huge.

I ran the warrior as a raider, who can, you know, make blazes. I haven't tried that blazes ability - might need to give it a shot sometime. I usually grab Ignite+ since that lets Mystics make two attacks and helps cut down on the scenery that they go through. But constantly spawning fires on enemies and then moving them through to hit groups is just incredible for how few actions it takes.

WizardOfWhispers posted:100% agree, Quellingmoss is a regular choice on my rogues. That wiggle room for when an enemy doesn't quite die is huge. Raider's fire (and scenery destruction!) is also a quick action. It's not obvious, but Raider can also be boosted by long reach. (So you can set fires/destroy terrain away from you) The fire attack either can't miss (unless blind) or has a stupidly high hit rate. Several Mystic abilities make scenery. Sometimes a lot of it. Another thing is that with either Raider or Ignite, the enemy will take 2 warding damage at the start of their turn. There are NO bad abilities in this game (maybe Wisdom). If you're always building the same thing, you're robbing yourself of a good time. I try to never have two people recruited who fight the same way.

I try to never have two people recruited who fight the same way. Wisdom is the skill you take on your starting legacy mystic if you want to still have them available in chapter 5 of a scenario (assuming you've also done their personal sidequest), AND it lets you do overland map stuff very efficiently, saving you a lot of time and calamities. In some ways it's more powerful than the most busted tactical stuff, since it can prevent needing it. e: Ignite+ and Naturalist+ are by far the most newbie friendly mystic builds, while still remaining powerful later, since you make your own interfusion fuel with them. Bonus points for helping avoid situations where multiple mystics chew through the scenery (literally) faster than they chew through the enemy. my dad fucked around with this message at 23:45 on Nov 1, 2022 |

I think Arches is up there with Ignite. The pin effect is crazy.

Thanks to your av, I hear your more analytical posts in this thread on his voice  When I think sustainable mystic, I usually think of the conjure and manipulate fire powers. i imagine it’s not optimal, but it does make you much less prop dependent.

 Here are our starting heroes for this story.  This is what we pay to get the legacy characters in.  This story starts with Molis returning home.  She steps in a memory.  And here are the sisters, having a nice boring life. Enjoy having all your limbs while you can!  Look, you could have had a normal life, but here you are messing with a book called “The Dread Compendium.” I'm sorry – you never stood a chance.  It's not luck, it's fate.   She's trying to save you! Give her the book!  She nicks the book – but how does Thalwae feel about this?
