Default Re: R\'lyeh Strategies

The consensus of opinion is that the luck scale has no influence on summoning from the void gate. While the developers have not spoken in their deep, Moses-like voice, only two people have noticed better summonings with high luck. Notable is that one player has found that even with luck –3, they still get the big summons. If this has changed since the patch or has been discussed while I have been focusing on work instead of reading the forums, please point me to the link so I can catch up.

Check out the “Stop the Insanity” thread, it has some good information. The easy way to find it is a search for luck void

Speaking of which, this thread seems pretty focused on how to fight without getting many summons. I think that you should plan for just this outcome and treat any goodies that come your way as a nice sideshow. The gate is too unpredictable for my taste and planning a strategy around it can burn you. I avoid taking a bless strategy with this race, as you get relatively few holy units and have little control over how many you do get. Of course, if you do get good summons, you can change your plan, and, if you planned for not getting them, you have a solid foundation to build on.
