I just unlocked Gate of the Gods and it's so fuckin cool. I've got like 30 new boss fight puzzles to solve, and it opens up some really fun new team building options. I love the restriction of only getting to use one Avatar creature, but then getting to go extra deep on powering it up. I decided to go with a generic support Surathli with Endurance Aura in the second slot. I figure she'll occupy the healer slot in pretty much any team.

My resurrect-heavy team is good but still not doing enough DPS so I added in more fear-centric creatures (just because of mothman honestly) and I may not be meta, but my lord the synergy is silly. All of my enemies are afraid and can't get buffs, if we die we come back, everyone is casting all the time (because if they die they cast at random) and there's stats up and other silliness.

What's your party? I just recently started playing this again after the Steam thread mentioned it. I'm playing an Inquisitor, current party comp is built around feeding 1 guy Stats when allies die, and provoking my creatures to death [hopefully resurrecting after they die]. It's mostly pretty fun at early levels (I only just unlocked Realm Instability, so I'm very early game) but it sort of falls apart if/when my guys stop Reviving. I need to at least get all the different Gem materials to make a bunch of Class-Swapped Resurrect spell for all my party, and probably find more Maniacs / better "on Provoke" trigger stuff

If it's possible, can we add this link to the OP? https://berated-bert.github.io/siralim-planner/ In game, if you go to Options --> Export Data to Clipboard, you can then paste in the text into that site ("Upload Party" in the top right) and it makes a super easy to consume list without having to type out / screenshot all your dudes and their Fused traits  https://berated-bert.github.io/sira..._&s=IN&r=______ That's what I'm running right now. My Centaur Ranger and Hemlock Ent are 10000% un-optimized around this party. I like my Maniac Mutant + Igneous Ossein + Bhasa Cherub

I lost my old save so I started from scratch with a necromancer for the first time, its fun how much you can start steamrolling just through sheer minion volume. I did a very bad fusion by accident without taking personality into account that hosed up my tank really bad, but the minions from the rest of the setup are so effective that I'm still steamrolling without feeling the need to replace it just yet

Once you get that little blue blob guy who every time he gets a minion, he gives it to all your other folk, it gets silly and hilarious.

If you didn't know, you can change your creatures' personalities but it's a little hidden. It's the Tomes under the "items -> field items" menu. I already had a bunch by the time I realized they were there.

You can unlock repeatable projects that give you tons of those personality-change items too. The RNG is yours to command!

Does anyone know if Resurrecting with X% counts as receiving Healing? I'm guessing not. Like for example: > After this creature dies, it has a 50% chance to resurrect all allies with 50% Health. Would being resurrected at 50% HP count towards the Inquisitor's Censure class perk: > Your creatures deal additional damage equal to X% of the healing they've received in the current battle.

Like for example: Some testing with the perk in question and a massively overleveled Asclepias Fae, using Ritual of Summoning to kill and revive itself repeatedly, suggests that it does not. I think it works similar to Divinity where it just sets the health directly instead of healing up to it.

Thanks for testing it for me  That was my suspicion, but y'never know how they write the code so I wasn't sure.Incidentally I've swapped over to the Graveborn specialization and it's absurdly fun. My Party is now 4/6 Wights, a Maniac, and some Centaur thing that I need to replace with another Wight that all just get bigger by Provoking themselves to death and then attacking a bunch when they stand back up. Very fun build, except for the "Misery" Nemesis creatures which prevent me from gaining stats

The game opens up a good amount after that and you can sort of pursue your own goals, but there's plenty more to do:
As for what to do next... well, you can kind of do all of it just by continuing to play? Do projects and Prophecies passively by continuing to dive realms, while doing Nether Bosses and Masters at your highest depth. Grind out favor and emblems for whichever god piques your interest to buy their creatures, spells, and Godspawn. Buy and start leveling Relics, they can get absurdly strong. Build and refine new teams in other specializations so that you don't have to keep rerolling at the Goblet, or just for the fun of teambuilding. Eventually get access to the Gate and all the cool stuff you can do there. If you get really bored you could always try to grind out the card collection or achievements for global passive benefits!

Got back into this a bit after seeing people talk about it and I finally unlocked guilds, only ~140 hours in  Has anyone found a fun mime build? I filled the chalice easily enough getting curse synergy traits and forcing the enemy to attack each other, but it mostly just felt like value brand witch doctor. Not sure how to really take advantage of the defend/provoke copying.

Plus the resource treadmills of course--I'd love to try and ascend more specializations, but then I math out how many floors I need to clear just to earn the keys to attempt it and it feels like a chore.

I find the game works best as a podcast or "i am waiting for something else" kinda game, where you work at it over the hours and days. Focusing on just the game alone provokes that chore feeling, but mixing it with other stuff and only giving it 100% attention when I'm testing new builds makes it near perfect.

Yeah I find it to be a completely chill experience mostly because of how easy it is to get stupidly overpowered. I am not generally 'good' at these kinds of games but Siralim gives the information in ways I find very easy to parse and take in and think about. Probably because it involves collecting little guys. That's my favourite thing to do. I must get back into Disgaea. Also on my Switch save (I don't take saves cross-platform, I kinda like starting over) I found a clown mask, and my mission is to find the right monster to wear it.

That's generally how I've been playing it, too. Sneak in 1-5 realms during down time at work, usually with a podcast on in the background.

I'm looking into building a team with some stat-stacking nonsense. Can anyone offer a link/primer on how stat increases work? In particular, how would this trait:quote:Your creatures have 7% more Speed for each permanent Nature Spell Gem each of your creatures have equipped. Maximum of 3 Spell Gems per creature. This trait does not stack. quote:As long as this creature hasn't gained or lost Speed, it has 200% more Speed and has Agile.

In particular, how would this trait: Somewhere in the codex there's a big bullet list of "the order that everything happens in battle" which is imperfect but clarifies a lot of these ambiguities. In this case, I think that always-on effects like "your creatures have / are X" do not count as stat gains -- you should be able to confirm by the presence or absence of the agile buff though, I'd think.

Just posting to say I picked up this game too a few days ago and haven't hardly been able to put it down. My only issue with it is the dungeon crawling aspect gets pretty dull after a while. I kinda wish there were macros for exploring, or an auto-explore feature. The roguelike Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup has a button you can press to make the player automatically zoom through the tunnels, stopping when they hit something interesting. If there was something like that here this would be amazing.

The game probably isn't optimized enough for it to be possible but I would love some sort of instant battle feature that lets you skip normal fights entirely and just see the outcome assuming your guys did their macros/default actions. I like using whatever class the goblet gives me and building teams for every class, but by lategame and especially with high instability, anything other than a build that wins during turn 0 with minimum triggers just slows progress down to a complete crawl. It's especially bad on switch, there's some classes I have to wait and play on PC because otherwise a single floor takes 20+ minutes of waiting while turns play out.
