Some notes on MA Mictlan update - Page 7

Mictlan with a level 0-2 blood summoning or assassination spell for a slave or two would be fun. As you probably know already, the word chupacabra translates into "goat sucker". Reason enough to add it, I say!

A size 1 assassin with perhaps a single misc slot to avoid thugging, rotten stats apart from a medium-high defense, useless for anything but taking out enemy priests. Not a demon (Or they'd die in the first round of combat against indy priests, their only targets.), but perhaps brought about due to "the taint of blood magic on the land" or something like that, which would also help explain why you can control them with blood. Might actually be handy to support your first demons, but probably just fun.

One of my favorites is the terrible Ground Sloth, which regularly rends gringo tourists limb from limb with it's foot-long claws.

Wouldn't that be:
"...slowly rends gringo tourists limb from limb..."

Well...well, that's even worse, now, isn't it? If you think about it?

Sounds interesting. Nice writeup.

But if I can convince him to loosen the reins on Lord of Night (let more than just EA Mictlan have it) then they will get the #1 unbeatable choice for assassin in the whole game.

I've always wondered why you were so into the Lord of the Night. I just now realized that he not only has flying, but stealth!? I regret not choosing him in the game I'm playing EA Mictlan. He's not as easy to get a huge bless on, but he more than makes up for it with his mobility.

Gandalf Parker · #66 August 19th, 2007, 12:07 AM

And he is already an assassin. A Titan-sized, flying, dominion boosted, help summoning, stealth/assassin with all slots. Its hard to think of anything better as an assassin.

Oh yeah, and he has leadership. Give him some flying bodyguards just in case he gets spotted.

BigDisAwesome · #67 August 19th, 2007, 12:21 PM

And he's an assassin without having to get a black heart!?
Man...

Sort of a waste using him as an assassin though.

BigDisAwesome · #69 August 19th, 2007, 12:44 PM

Yes and no. It'd be a waste to put a black heart on him to be an assassin, but having the option without taking up the slot is always nice.

Id much rather use him as an assassin than a thug or SC. Sure its shaky to use your god as an assassin but it must have some benefits as an unexpected tactic.

Plus a flying assassin is always nice because it can quickly shift from what its doing to an area you are having problems with.

Plus flying-stealth means he can shoot up ahead of your frontlines to soften up a spot. Or shift randomly around an enemys backside creating havoc until you think he has started using PD against you.

If I remember correctly you can even fly him back into strong domain to boost his stats, then quickly move him somewhere for a hard attack, then back into domain for recuperating again. Always nice to have an assassin with a few hundred hit points.
