Finally a new Calamity win. It's been a while.

Started with the good old Skimander-Chip team, then found Hydrim in a supportive Egg and obtain all three Synergies shown above.

Skimander is so freaking strong my god. When you give it something that raises its speed it's amazing.

I'm just sad, at the moment, that I can't seem to win with other monsters like Urso, Krog and the others on the bottom of my personal list. I can't find good strategies for them.

Calamity really is unforgivable, though. You make one placement mistake before and during one battle and BAM, you are gone. Eh.

Problem is, I'm competitive, and once I won at max level I don't like going back to easier ones XD

Question: Why does the final boss give you prizes like items and food?

Skim has a bit of exponential scaling because high spd = more attacks, but also for him it means more damage as well :D Also about the final boss rewards, it was easier to just leave it treated like a normal battle atm since it doesnt really impact anything.

I understand, thanks!

Congrats, I had two succefull ridiculous runs yesterday. In one the entire team had 60 speed due to a 100 speed item on chikita in the end the wyrmlet had 1500 hp too.

This pyris wyrmlet team was my most ridiculous thing so far I think....

Mudgil skymander. Legendary weapon stage one with three synergies . Felt like cheating as well.

Heart of the ocean on stage one on tizik feels like cheating as well. Tizik scutter start. Tizik just needs some extra mana and he goes. I think some mana on hit and banners would do the trick too.

Damn, you really speedrun the whole thing! Always 13 minutes? You are a fast thinker XD I take my time ahahahah

I love how your strategies are mostly different from mine. This game is very fun. Also, you seem to make some combo work that I don't find working well for me, which is awesome! When a game allows players to do well with different styles, it's amazing.

The first team with Pyris and Wyrmlet is MEAN ahahah. I love those two together.

It's also funny how you used Woad but with the Radiant Tome XD Mudgill+Skimander sounds great.

The last team is bonkers to me. I would have never think it would have worked o.o Maybe I'm undervaluing Tizik. Happy to know it is usable.

The scutter tizik combo fails if I don't get mana regeneration early to be honest. Heart of the ocean does it for sure that was my first calamity win or maybe a combination of a banner with another mana generation item could do it too. The mudgil skimander combination is reliant on a early weapon or speed item for skimander but they don't have to be rare I think, otherwise they are very vulnerable and certain encounter are a wipe.

Give 'em the ol' Snap & Zap combo :D also Harvester on Mud is scary. Has anyone managed to merge 2 legendaries yet? Also do you remember what version of Wyrm's Latent Power you went with?

LaserQuacker2 years ago

Unfortunately no, I could not merge 2 legendaries together. Most of the time I don't find any, or I find one, and when I find 2 they cost too much to merge or one of them is the prism, which I really don't like to use (+45 str is great but its ability doesn't sound worth it, honestly :/)

dave5382 years ago(+1)

I go for str or int, food and items usually are more impactfull, most consentiquential is how wyrmlet winds up her/his mana generation and the aura for HP thing

last version in another run 1821 HP
