Ever feel like you got a lucky character?  I finally did....

http://crawl.berotato.org/crawl/morgue/Tegga21/Tegga21.txt

maximum -every- resist. just hit level 14, oh and a +9 arti...; lol.  See invis, rmut rcorr too. Edit 1 pip off from max MR

[vogonpoet]

Gaa, looks like I am not going to find time to kill off my NaBe before the end of the tourney 

[Not good with names]

Yeah, I don't think I'm getting another game in.  On the brightside, 23 runes and 1 5+ rune win is a pretty good performance for me, and I'm pretty happy that it looks like I'll get the 2nd lowest XP for a rune points.  But it would've been nice to turn one of those multi-rune games into another win. 

[TheDarkStar]

Bleh, splatted a promising DDFi in the vaults. I had a GDA and nice skills but met Asterion and couldn't heal fast enough.

No pressure, but if you finish that game fast enough/with a decent enough score, there's a chance of pushing the Champions into the top 20

You'd need a lot of ghost/unique kills though, I think - Champions are ~500 points away from #20 at the moment, and I can't imagine GrFi is a high-scoring combo at this point.

I won that game but not in time I don't think... ; almost 6 wins

That char was so OP d4 arti boots with see invis rN+, +9 whip flaming+3 dex then gozag gave me a shop with arti golden dragon armor w/ MR and something else and got hat of alchemist in same shop with rFrCrErP Mr+ rCor rMut, plus gargoyle was pretty much invcible

[vogonpoet]

Congrats everyone - 18 Bay 12 wins altogether?

Hope you all had fun - am a bit sad I didn't have any melee success, but ah well.

Managed to get one nice character killed off by cerebov, then had a troll of usk who just picked up the orb, and panlord appeared the next turn, summoned a tormentor, 2 liches showed up, and suddenly my usk wasn't interested in paralyzing enemies anymore apparently...

Never lost a character on the orb run until this tourney, I've lost 2 now. Blegh.

Just reading your sheet gives me a lot of insight into a deity I've never played
...Just wow that antique shop collection ._. That is amazing.

Guess the fireworks and celebration are harder now for everyone then?

Personal lessons--when playing as a Formicid, don't forget you can dig. I forgot I can dig in one Icecave (that frost giant :V) in which the usual mindset was 'attack everything, but dig for tactical positioning D:'. Had I thought about going...through the shortcut to the exit, it would've most likely spared a nice ant warrior from death at too early hands.

Also has anyone ever won with Uskayaw? :/ I've tried that in the late-game and...it may not seem that efficient as first impression goes, due to how much melee'ing is needed, and given the deadliness of stuff in just ~5 turns of existence in your LoS, it doesn't work that well if the piety build up isn't straightforward. x_x

And I finally won as a MiGl of Uska.

Uska is really good with an amulet of faith because enemies go to sleep after a few hits. And you also get more free teleports/instakills.

[vogonpoet]

I am generally happy just to scrape by a win with a power combo.... I am still surprised how high scoring my SpEn was... they take a bit of getting used to, but damn, with Ash they are ridiculous - I literally got cblink online for Zot, because I couldn't find blink. Not perhaps the greatest play ever, but the XP budget is so crazy for SpEn/Ash.

In other news, half a day more (or less stuff to do at work in general), and I could have brought my NaBe home - this is my first Na win, so yay. Can't say I like Na very much - being slow sucks IMO - this was my 3rd NaBe ever to get to Zot 5, and the first 2 both perished due to some teleport trap fun.

I suppose I really should try to win a Formicid now - my last unwon currently playable species.

[Aoi]

Also has anyone ever won with Uskayaw? :/ I've tried that in the late-game and...it may not seem that efficient as first impression goes, due to how much melee'ing is needed, and given the deadliness of stuff in just ~5 turns of existence in your LoS, it doesn't work that well if the piety build up isn't straightforward. x_x

And I finally won as a MiGl of Uska.
-snip-

Uska is really good with an amulet of faith because enemies go to sleep after a few hits. And you also get more free teleports/instakills.

And something that I know a few people have forgotten before too-- Uska worshippers aren't penalized by removing their AoF either. I typically wear a defensive amulet, close range, swap, go ham. There's a lot of value to an AoReflection when advancing on a hoard of *taurs in an exposed area. Or running from them.

[Damiac]

Speaking of Uskayawawayayawa (I can't remember how to spell it), try him on a Vine Stalker with short blades.

I got my fastest win ever that way.  No amulet of faith either.

For maximum goodness, add a ranged weapon, since you only need like 10 skill for short blades if you find a quick blade, and it's nice to have a high base damage weapon for high AC targets.
I trained fighting, short blades (to 10), dodging, armor, crossbows, stealth, and focused invocations, for the entire game.
I also got gryre and gimble (The dual quick blades) from an acquirement scroll.

Things got pretty silly in that game.  Stab Stab bite, everyone's paralyzed, stab stab stab, onto the next crowd.  For particularly tough enemies, the crossbow could get through their AC well enough for me to do a line pass, then stab them while confused.  Doing that usually netted enough piety to paralyze everyone.

When I got to zot I was worried about OOFs.  HAH! The oofs should have worried about me.  Stab stab bite bite worked quite well on them, took a little longer than squishier enemies, but sure enough they got paralyzed and stabbed just like everyone else.  Even better when I got 6* of piety on some orb guardians, then merged with an oof to kill it in one hit. 

[TheDarkStar]

I still want to do a 15-rune Uska run where I merge with every end-of-branch unique I see.
