I lost for the first time on level 2 today — forgot to optimize my items, and was there with only a couple of minor heals, minor manas, and arrows…
approx:
Ulmer 3/30; Skittleskull 1/20; Sabina +4; Balthazar maxed; Greymane 3/50, but 6/8. I could sub Skittles with Gill-Ra 3/40, but not sure if losing the third color will bite me…
In light of your Skittles being at 1-20, Gill-Ra could well have better longevity, while contributing both an attack and defense debuff.
I think it’s worth the tradeoff despite the preponderance of purple monsters and bosses, especially if you make a point of charging up everyone’s specials before the bosses so you have them available.
Mana controllers are my favorite, though it almost backfired horribly…
I decided against bringing a healer this time, and I forgot to throw in some health pots to make up for it. Onatel was the only one standing in the end. Merlin, Proteus, and Nat all got smoked in the beginning of the boss round. But, by God, I had their mana bars locked down pretty tight!
I’m waiting on WE still, sadly. I filled a chest earlier, so I didn’t quite time this one to be full right at the start like I did for the last couple.
Finishing up some work, but I may have to wait until my morning for the last stage, depending on my alertness in an hour.
This is what I will have to do it with.
Not much unlevelled on the bench that could come to aid in some time either.
I guess it will be carpet bombing time for the last level
Edit:
Managed to do the trail. Used 1 dragon attack, 10 small healing pots and 1 simple revive scroll. Not easy but not too hard either.
Time used around 10 minutes.
This one proved to be pretty easy, and low on item usage.
If I had paid a tad more attention, I could have avoided Ulmer firing once. His defense debuff heavily contributed to the demise of 3-60 Sabina and Skittles.
Otherwise the bosses never fired at all, thanks to keeping Proteus topped up with mana when needed. I could have used even a little less without the Ulmer incident, as I fed 4-70 Sabina some too.
Proteus got to +5 with the new Wizard emblems, but I’m 4 short of going to +6.
Thanks. Gill-Ra was considerably more durable. Did get stuck with boards full of red and yellow, though. Used 4 mid manas, 10 mid healings, 2 axes, one antidote.
Now to see if I can hit level 30 while this is still active (20.000 xp or so…)
