[MT] So Stygian Guard has NOT made a good first impression
Villain
I got steamrolled by the first boss
Villain
I have NO idea how they're supposed to work
Villain
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
Onigashima
you definitely need to get a tank monster early on and put him behind it
Onigashima
they have a few good options for one
Villain
I did but like
Villain
the first boss had an ability where whenever a unit dies he does 2 damage to your entire team or something?
Villain
So it didn't matter
Onigashima
I definitely like their second champion better
Villain
I ran out of guys on like the second turn
Villain
and just poked them with spells while getting fucked in the ass
Villain
I....I GUESS I can try them again?
Villain
But they seem
Villain
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
Villain
I tried the plant guys before this and they RULE
moontouched
but yeah sirens are really good
Villain
okay so like
Villain
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
Onigashima
my favorite thing about awoken is that their card library is universally useful
Onigashima
it's just healing and getting swole
Onigashima
everyone wants that
moontouched
getting big chunky awoken units is incredibly good
moontouched
slap some spikes on them and it gets even better
Onigashima
useful Stygian tanks: Siren of the Sea, Titan Sentry, Guard of the Unnamed
Onigashima
works in a pinch: Coldcaelia, Ice Cylophite, Nameless Siren
Onigashima
you may have just gotten a really unlucky first run
Villain
Okay after trying them a bit more
Villain
I have upgraded the Stygian bad from "Absolute shit tier garbage"
Villain
All the way up to "bad"
Villain
But I don't think I'm going to be playing them much
Villain
I'm making it further but I'm barely scraping through each battle by the skin of my teeth
Onigashima
they're honestly not high on my tier list either
Onigashima
unlocking the alternate champion does help a lot
Villain
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
