[MT] So Stygian Guard has NOT made a good first impression
Gabiluzbad
I got steamrolled by the first boss
Gabiluzbad
I have NO idea how they're supposed to work
Gabiluzbad
their champion seems mega useless because he only has like 6hp
Princess Emily
they're my fav....
Princess Emily
but you absolutely want their champion in the back yes
Quinneapolis
you definitely need to get a tank monster early on and put him behind it
Quinneapolis
they have a few good options for one
Gabiluzbad
I did but like
Gabiluzbad
the first boss had an ability where whenever a unit dies he does 2 damage to your entire team or something?
Gabiluzbad
So it didn't matter
Quinneapolis
I definitely like their second champion better
Gabiluzbad
I ran out of guys on like the second turn
Gabiluzbad
and just poked them with spells while getting fucked in the ass
Gabiluzbad
I....I GUESS I can try them again?
Gabiluzbad
But they seem
Gabiluzbad
so fucking bad
Princess Emily
the trick is that siren units are boss
moontouched
stygians aren't bad, but the playstyle is very different
moontouched
getting used to them takes a bit
moontouched
especially if you're coming off demons which are all beefy motherfuckers and imps
Gabiluzbad
I tried the plant guys before this and they RULE
moontouched
but yeah sirens are really good
Gabiluzbad
okay so like
Gabiluzbad
What is a siren
moontouched
one of the stygian units
moontouched
from what i remember stygian is a lot of stacks on stacks on stacks on stacks
moontouched
so that can take some getting used to
Quinneapolis
my favorite thing about awoken is that their card library is universally useful
Quinneapolis
it's just healing and getting swole
Quinneapolis
everyone wants that
moontouched
getting big chunky awoken units is incredibly good
moontouched
slap some spikes on them and it gets even better
Quinneapolis
useful Stygian tanks: Siren of the Sea, Titan Sentry, Guard of the Unnamed
Quinneapolis
works in a pinch: Coldcaelia, Ice Cylophite, Nameless Siren
Quinneapolis
you may have just gotten a really unlucky first run
Gabiluzbad
Okay after trying them a bit more
Gabiluzbad
I have upgraded the Stygian bad from "Absolute shit tier garbage"
Gabiluzbad
All the way up to "bad"
Gabiluzbad
But I don't think I'm going to be playing them much
Gabiluzbad
I'm making it further but I'm barely scraping through each battle by the skin of my teeth
Quinneapolis
they're honestly not high on my tier list either
Quinneapolis
unlocking the alternate champion does help a lot
Gabiluzbad
The Awoken seem like the best by an order of magnitude right now
monsterkiss%
the stygian guard imo is good as a secondary clan
monsterkiss%
their direct damage spells/frostbite stuff can get ridiculous
monsterkiss%
but their champion sucks
moontouched
tethys requires a bit more babysitting than other champions
moontouched
still decent though
Bolt Vanderhuge
Stygian is my favorite, but they're definitely one of the hardest.
Bolt Vanderhuge
Early on they lean very heavily on train stewards and their allied clan.
Bolt Vanderhuge
Naturally, Awoken are their best friends because they have a multitude of tanky units you can throw in front of Tethys and your sweeping units.
Bolt Vanderhuge
And they also have healing spells to keep the Stygian sharks up and running to so they can soak hits.
Bolt Vanderhuge
Frozen Lances are kinda shit, but many of Stygian's spell cards are incredibly powerful
Bolt Vanderhuge
And if you can stack spell weakness on targets, they go from strong to "potentially blow up the entire floor in one cast"
Bolt Vanderhuge
They're squishy casters by and large, and unfortunately Tethys gets punished for having poor health in almost all of her builds, so Sweep punishes her incredibly hard too.
Bolt Vanderhuge
She likes anything that can give her armor, and frankly, sometimes it's better to put her on the second floor rather than the first, so you have time to get rid of Sweepers
Bolt Vanderhuge
Don't underestimate their Lodestone monsters either. They sit in the back and usually don't do anything but give you card acceleration or other effects on Incants. Those can get very powerful, and if you upgrade them with extra health they can be walls for Tethys in a pinch.
moontouched
i think a lot of healing cards you get from awoken count as spells
moontouched
so if you stack up stygian units with incant + awoken units with the healing buffs it becomes Absolute Nonsense Hours very quickly
