I'll admit, the main reason I'm summoning a new player is so maybe I don't have to wait a day or two after every I post.

[quantumMastermind]

I'll probably heal Geos first since Antler has regeneration.

I'll probably function as the team medic and support class, I've got healing and fast movement so I can get to and heal people all around the map as well as an area of effect attack that puts the enemy at a disadvantage or give us a movement advantage if used properly.

Does not more players mean a greater chance of one of them beign useless?

[Supernerd]

If a player is useless, there is a spell that you can use to replace them.

Let us sing the song of our people!(more or less It's a Small World After All)
"I am not posting on this day
Will not be posting in any way
When posting is done
it is not by anyone
The posts they will not come!"

[Supernerd]

If I were a little less lazy, I would update every day whether people post an action or not. If they miss two days then I will most likely move on without them.

Seriously though, feel free to cast the spell on an inactive player. There are plenty of people willing to replace them.

New Dryad: 13 mana - Spawns a new Dryad from the waitlist. Cost increases with each purchase.
New Dryad Champion: 161 mana - Spawns a new Dryad from the waitlist. The summoned dryad will be one tier higher than usual. The +1 tier will be considered a "free upgrade" which does not influence the cost of future upgrades. This ability ignores waitlist priorities and picks a truly random player from the waitlist.

4 -> 13
Ummm, that is a +9... I am not getting any immediate vibes of where 9 could relate to 4. I think it will take more data to figure out the progression, which could always turn out to be G.M. fiat...

161 is quite a lot. There are acouple of bonuses though. we don't know how long it takes for tiers to cost more than 161, but from that point on champions will be better than mooks. Saving up for champs is a really really long-term investment though, at least at the current rate of progress.
It also bears noting that, unless I am missing something, S.N. only added this after summoning the player with a reserved spot, thus making it impossible for them to be a champion while pretending to be doing them a favour. Let us all marvel at this extremely subtle genius of malice.
The final bonus is that it is truly random, instead of being at the G.M.'s whim. I suspect that this alone is enough to make the seemingly high cost a bargain.
Finally, it does't say anything about cost increases. It may be that it is just omitted, and in fact it could be that the cost of summoning a champion increases if a non-champion is summoned! But by all appearances, it would seem that we can summon all our champons for 161 a pop while summoning flimsy baby dryads will get to that price quite swiftly with a couple more summons...

With the amount of enemies around, I think it might be a good idea for somebody with an AOE attack to get a tier increase.

I forgot to mention this but with my Life Drain ability, is it more stronger than a range version of a "Life Drain" in any way. I made the ability only work in melee, to make it seem more potent than if it were ranged, or some other kind of benefit. Secondly, that Dryad Champion seems rather costly, when compared to the 13+8=21 cost for a tier increase and new dryad. Unless their a benefit I'm missing here, (it takes the highest-tier dryad, summons a new dryad, and gets a free tier upgrade?) than I'm not seeing much benefit

@Beirus If you want a tier increase in this turn or future turns, than we should probably do it in the immediate time-vicinity, before things become too hasty.

[Rose]

Yeah, huge pile of mites means battle coming up.

I can kill a mite in one hit, but I can only attack one at a time.

We have 11 mana to use. That can either give a tier increase, both Geos and Hikari have area abilities, so they are good candidates, or give somebody else a new area attack. Both are reasonable options.

[Beirus]

I'll probably see about getting the tier upgrade after this turn when I go back to the tree if the rest of you are fine with it. Should give me a stronger Geode Bomb, and I can use Shift Earth to build some rudimentary fortifications and obstacles around the tree.

[quantumMastermind]

I'm pretty sure I'll be able to hold most of them back with my gust ability, so it shouldn't be that bad if everyone is fighting them together.

Also, the summon champion dryad seems like it'l be more useful at a later time, that free tier increase means that the champion will always be a teir ahead of the rest of us which could prove useful later down the line when teirs become far more expensive.

I think giving Geos the tier increase is a good idea, his geode bomb seems to be the only thing that can damage multiple enemies at this time. Make sure you're on the tree tile when you increase your tier, I think that's a requirement.

You know the cor mites at NN might not even attack the tree at all, they might just stay where they are until we decide to deal with them.

[Supernerd]

To answer a curiosity that a player has, you can use more than one ability in a single turn, but you need to split your characters power multiplier among the two abilities. For example, if you want to use Regeneration and Morningstar you can allocation 0.5 power multiplier to both. This will give you a lousy regeneration effect and a lousy attack effect. I specifically mentioned previously that even very weak enemies can resist an attack with a multiplier less than 1.0

I believe woodpeckers eat bugs. This can be an asset, but I have no way to take advantage of it.
