Duh. Retaliate fireball ate my streak. And I thought I was doing fine!

[Astral]

Today's one had the potential to be hard, but thankfully wasn't. Grim's Grotto can give unwinnable seeds, so anytime you go in without Binlor you're playing russian roulette.

The god choices weren't that amazing, so I took conjunction, picked extra health boosters to up my survivability. Bearmace is a must have with corrosion stacking and doubles as a declogger. Generally I hate the Slayer Wand, but this time I took it to minimize my chances of getting boxed in.

Found the Tower Shield early and bought it right away, Rats need blackspace badly, anything that saves some is good.
Stumbled into Drac, and I was thinking of joining him immediately, but I didn't want to commit to him and find out there's a piety farm around I missed out on. The next altar I found was of GG's and joined him. I almost made the mistake of requesting absolution, but then I remembered how bad the huge beads are.

I had a B2P waiting on the ground and this way I could convert it for piety, not just corrosive strike. The 1st kill I made was tedious, had to find a couple of health boosts before I could barely survive the lv2 dragonspawn's hits, later kills were more blackspace efficient. The cool thing about Rats is if you can take 1 hit on something, you can also kill it, no matter how strong that thing is. The fight usually starts out inefficient, but consecutive hits get stronger and stronger while they buff your 'spellpower' too. Also resistances mean nothing to you, be it a Goo Blob or Golem, you crunch it equally easily.

I was just leveling up and getting ready to switch into Drac when I found the ultimate rat god: Binlor. You only need 1 thing from him, Stone Skin, spam it religiously and your HP and regen are practically tripled, +5 lvl kills are guaranteed.
Since I only found 2 glyphs by then I also spent some piety on Endiswall. One after another I made monstrous kills, and I was skyrocketing in levels. Finally found some more glyphs to improve my Corrosive Strike, found an Endiswall duplicate and the always amazing Pisorf. For a rat who isn't afraid of smacking his foes many times, this is the best damage glyph possible.

I was only level 6 when I found the SMM and out of curiosity I started to fight it without leveling any further. Wasn't disappointed in the Binlorrat's power, by the 13th hit, with the help of 2 Pisorfs it died.

It didn't even take much time, this was only my 9th kill. What was time intensive though is swapping into Drac for his lifesteals and trying to kill everything on the board just to test how hard such a PQI would be. Warlocks made things kinda difficult, so I had to take sanguine as well, but everything died in the end.


Sad to hear your loss Tinker
There goes the only perfect score remaining.

[Lynzkar]

Welp, I lost my first daily challange today.

[Tinker]

[Astral]

Dying on a won map (or on one that is going really well) is even worse. How unlucky that there was only 1 Djinn, but that still managed ruin your run.

Out of curiosity what preps you took and what gods did you worship?

[Tinker]

[Darvin]

How'd you manage to actually attack such high level monsters? I found a significant trouble avoiding being OHKO'd as a Mystera follower and had significant trouble leveling up.

I got very unlucky with my early exploration, and explored about a third of the dungeon before finding a single glyph. This was pretty catastrophic for my Mystera piety, but also prevented me from racking up corrosion since I had nothing to convert!

[Lujo]

^ Same thing, I elaborated on that exact thing in the rat thread.

Elf Rogue daily - well, I was inspired by Tinker's Elrond post in the bragging thread and went with GG and a stright EM desecration. Had better time than it felt by the way I was playing, and I suppose my scores will be kinda mediocre but it was fun and rompy. Didn't do a proper Elrond as I kinda simply PoSed the guys half way through the run and only really got enlightment when it was all done.

[Darvin]

GG opener here, too. Spent my early game popcorn bowling and grabbing easy kills with death protection (and an unnatural amount of dodges, I might add). I switched to Tikki Tooki for the end game and picked up a blue bead from the shop pool, then went to town.
