I've had Siralim Ultimate for a while but never really gotten into it until a couple weeks ago. I had the previous Siralim games and tried them for a bit and always ended up bouncing off despite theoretically being really into the team building, but Ultimate seems to have really sanded down most of the rough edges and gotten rid of the annoying grinding in the name of good grinding. I started out with a monk, which was the class that took me through the story and a good chunk of the initial postgame. I decided to branch out a bit instead of infinitely rerolling the goblet and got a toxicologist team up and running that worked even better and mostly ended battles before the first turn by exponentially increasing poison stacks, and just last night I got a necromancer team up to get past the King Andrik second refight. I generally like to play mostly physical based teams with spells used tactically to defuse specific situations/set off more physical attacks, so I'll probably try and bring a Hell Knight build online soon, but after that I wanna try expanding into one of the other archetypes. It's wild how my best team (toxicologist) regularly procs 6-7 digits of damage on an enemy per turn, and yet I know all my teams could probably get much better with a little more tweaking. I also assume that with unlocking the Gate of the Gods that I'm close to finally having all the mechanics open to me but I just realized I still don't have access to whatever "Anointments" are...what a game.

I sometimes try to build a team around whatever the goblet of trials tells me to, and sometimes just reroll the goblet until it has hell knight on it

I do that too. It’s a fun (but sometimes time consuming 😅) way to try new things and keep it fresh.

Get Ultimate. You're not missing anything by skipping the other games (you don't play this for the story), and Ultimate has more than enough playtime to keep you occupied indefinitely.

The games are all similar enough that you're not really missing anything by just getting ultimate. I liked 2/3 but the refinements made mean I'd not want to go back.

I hadn't played this much, and then I lost my save when I had to replace my Steam Deck SSD. The first time, I played an Animator. Is that a suitable choice as a first playthrough, or is there a more noob-friendly choice?

I recall the most noob-friendly choice being Hell Knight with Evoker and Defiler being just a couple steps down.

Animator has a lot to think about in terms of positioning but it's not like it sucks or anything. If it sounds interesting then go for it.

I think my first choice was druid, which I think got removed from the starting class list(?) so any of the starting classes is probably fine if you like em.

Hell Knight's easiest for sure. Animist takes a bit of planning to take advantage of the positional slots, but it's pretty straightforward if you work backwards from what each trait does: for example, Molecular Betrayal gives the Animatus a bunch of stats based on your third creature's stats at the start of battle, so put something with a trait that gives it a bunch more stats passively into your third slot--like a Red Storm maybe. Playing around those synergies and the various huge bonuses your Animatus gets passively should go a long way.

I don't have a particular class recommendation and am not showing up for any reason, certainly not recommending a specific God Realm as a good early unlock or anything. Why would I do such a thing?  But in all seriousness I'm really hoping to get back into Ultimate myself soon, last time I was playing I messed around for a week on a fresh account but then I got heavily derailed by a bunch of unrelated incidents. I should hop back on my original character (who started as Animator fwiw) and get back into the groove before the end of the year.

RISE, threadquote:Our first content goal has already been unlocked, and the following content will now be added to the game: quote:Another content goal has been unlocked! We're adding an ultra-hard version of the game called Ruthless Mode, as well as the opposite of that in the form of Easy Mode. The dev has unlocked the backer shop so you can give 'em more money and they'll keep working on stretch goals!

I posted in one thread but didn't get any bites (that I saw) so I'll reiterate here that if anyone wants to try it out but not commit to the whole bundle or what have you, I've got a spare key I'd love to share with someone who hopefully likes the game as much as I do.

I've started a new game as an Inquisitor and I'm trying to build a team around healing doing damage to the enemy, but mostly so far this is turning into fights taking FOREVER lol, I might want to swap over to something else soon....

l like clerics. Let me stack my stats to the roof while also healing. Please. I think I did just as well with pyromancer though. I'm also real glad to see it back.

How easy/difficult is it to swap classes / respec perks in a save file? I'm tempted to swap around but don't want to abandon my progress.

I still think Witchdoctor is the strongest class I played back then, I posted a quick build I used to beat all the content at the time without even fusing any of the monstersBroken Cog posted:So... turns out Witchdoctor is pretty strong. I threw together a team, and ascended the class without even fusing any of them. It can also take on instability 5 realms and false gods without breaking a sweat.

You have to unlock the new class in a quest [edit: project] but you can change any time in the castle. You can also respec any time in the castle at the same place, though eventually you will have every talent in the class bought. Both are free (once you complete the project). If you can't do it yet, just keep playing. Projects are part of mandatory progression. Prism fucked around with this message at 21:44 on May 6, 2024 |

I've built decent teams for a good handful of classes, but oddly I haven't really gone in hard on any of the spellcasting classes, I guess I worry at high levels about running out of charges and it seems harder to scale? That might be a fun challenge for me to tackle next though, maybe I'll actually use some of these salamanders and tomes I've had laying around in the kennel for ages. Edit: Broken Cog posted:I still think Witchdoctor is the strongest class I played back then, I posted a quick build I used to beat all the content at the time without even fusing any of the monsters Totally agreed; back when I would sometimes grind for the King Dumpling while half watching a show or something, I'd just put all the dumplings on a witch doctor team and not even fuse them and still just plow through the game.

Oh hey neat, I just got into this game last weekend, didn't realize it was still getting updates. Are there any generically good utility spells I should look out for? I'm barely making use of my spell gem slots, or my artifact spell slots. My build doesn't feel like it's missing anything though, I'm cruising pretty comfortably through the mid-100s on RI5.

I'd really love an auto explore feature. Walking through the map at the highest speed still takes a lot of time and isn't very interesting to me. Am I missing something?

I tried Animator as my first class, and it seems cool but maybe a bad choice for first class. Is there a more "standard" option good for a new player? I came into the game on the recommendation that it was a lot like Dragon Warrior Monsters, which I played the poo poo out of on the GBC, but it seems a lot more like Shin Megami Tensei, which I've played very little of.

Annath posted:I tried Animator as my first class, and it seems cool but maybe a bad choice for first class. From a brief look at the starter classes, you picked the only one that focuses on one creature to the exclusion of the others, so any of the others might be your jam.... BUT you can easily unlock and swap to other classes as you keep playing, so it might be a good idea to stick with it!

There's the 'auto-grab stuff' feature, but no, no auto-explore. I recommend not trying to completely clear every map - just focus on the quest that lets you out, grab stuff along the way, and keep going.

I love Affliction and Major Resurrection for utility spells. Give them the generous enchantment and even your dumbest monsters have a useful spell to cast.

Affliction is great, although I'm playing Defiler so I've already got debuffs covered by way of traits. Here's my build since it's feeling basically finished and I'm pretty proud of it: Siralim planner. It's not an optimal 0-turn uber build, but it's pretty fast for where I'm at; easy packs die in 1-3 turns, and there's enough scaling and resilience to clear the harder packs reliably. And it's fun to watch every single debuff in the game get applied to the whole enemy team. I guess all I have to work on now is leveling up relics, grinding floors to unlock more mechanics, or maybe trying to build a new class.

goddamn, this story boss fight against a unicorn and their team of infinite barrier and healing is kicking my rear end. hmm. I need both more levels and more barrier-popping things.

Another good utility imo is Arbitration. AOE buff removal like Greater Dispel, but in exchange for not clearing debuffs, it gives your creatures all the buffs it wipes from the enemies.

In addition to Greater Dispel and Arbitration for mass buff removal, the Nature spell Windcutter ignores shell and barrier--great for pesky Life teams. Sources of blight like Defile are also handy to deal with the healing.
