You can play lightning however you want basically up to most rank 5/6 adversaries, especially if you have a support spirit backing you up and feeding you energy. It's just really addictive to have all fast powers and getting everyone else hooked on your go fast juice with lightning's boon.

Volcano is one of my top favorite spirits. Using their innate at high power is such a blast (heh), and combos really well with Defiance.

Growth 2 for life. I rarely take growth 3 unless I'm eager to move around the island.

If I want a chill game I’ll keep the difficulty around 5, which is really a little more or less depending on the adversary. I’ll set up level 6 on any one of them if I want a challenge. And if I want to feel pain I’ll set up a high average dual adversary.

I think the common thought is if you didn't flip the blight card, the game was too easy for you. The two blight cards in the base game are really punishing though. I usually pull them out and play with the much better expansion cards.

With Starlight I like to dump my starter hand for a bevy of powers asap and use that to tailor where I direct my growth. Find a powerful major power and tailor yourself to always, always hit its threshold.

I'll start rookies on at most a level 1 adversary on the standard board. Usually Sweden but definitely not something like France or England. In my experience they have enough on their plate trying to figure out how to play their spirit without having to deal with how adversaries break the rules to make the experience harder. Sure the game will probably be simple for me but you have to pay that price sometimes.

Playing Mists with other people is a long session of reminding them to please not come in and destroy your damaged settlers that you're cultivating for fear.

I bottom out at France 2+ more than I win because I do not adjust any of my strategies which involve playing the long game with no consideration for how many towns are on the board.

I don't like Fangs because a lot of their movements rely on the absence of blight. You yourself can only move beasts in or around blight with a single card, which in my experience is a big pain.

I don't care how long it takes, with brand new players we do the entire invader phase one step, one land at a time as a group. In addition to the above they usually have a tough time grasping that damage is simultaneously done to the land and to the dahan, and defense would cover both.

That's another thing I try to show new players with my play is that dahan and blight are resources. Spend them to get an edge.

In 4 player games it really helps Ocean to have the other players rewire their brains about what part of the island they need to cover. Let the ocean cover all the coasts and everyone else divvy up the inland. Also Deeps is a really cool aspect. I felt like a king the first time I reclaimed a space for the ocean.

Bleeding Waters is rapidly climbing my top spirits list. In the one game I played I went full animal and all their unique powers and abilities made controlling my lands very easy. Dealing damage when you add or move beasts and dahan (to a lesser extent) changes the usefulness of so many power cards.

Raging Storm is hilarious if anyone else is playing anything with strong gather potential. Or if someone is playing Irresistible Call.

I usually pick in reverse. I chose a color that appeals to me that session and choose a spirit based on that.

I've rarely played this game true solo (if I play alone it's two handed) and Serpent's always 'awakened' which, imo, is when you cross their crux point. If someone is playing a spirit who can accelerate growth we usually prioritize Serpent because the power spike is really notable.

I call that concept something else, where you dump a turn to gain a lot of momentum for future turns. Quake is really emblematic of that playstyle.

Complexity was never supposed to be an indicator of power. All the spirits can and do bring a ton of power to bear.

Starlight is my favorite JE spirit. Its complexity can be broken down with some system knowledge. You're making a spirit from parts. Deciding which elements to favor, whether you're going to be a major power slinger or not, etc. Your cards are a gacha you pull and see what you get; all their starter cards are more or less designed to be flushed away asap for a grab bag of minor/major powers you can design yourself around.

I like doing the huge volcano eruption for the spectacle of it, but I wouldn't risk setting it up unless we were already comfortably winning or I had an ally backing me up.

I can't put the Time spirit into anything but the "how the gently caress do I play this" tier. The only spirit I still find inscrutable.

The last time I played with Fractured Days was in 2p with my partner playing them and I might as well have been playing alone for how effective they were. To be clear it was a good time and I think after a while she leaned in to trying to be as unhelpful as possible as a prank.

It's specifically every sacred site with an invader, presumably to limit the empty choices.

I don't play true solo so the math is probably different, but Wildfire should be creating enough blight on its own to do whatever it wants with its innate. I usually have no reservations about just laying down blight wherever whenever, even to cascade if necessary. Their capacity for damage is near unrivaled.
