My 1st island imp. no loss playthrough - some thoughts and a few tips

I hope you are able to buy Trolls from the Houses of Jotun in your current run ... I'm 99% certain it's impossible to no-loss the spider boss without them. You might want to check them asap

Oh. I'll do that asap when I have the flying horse. Can the trolls be in all 3 of them? (I know on my first playthrough they were only on the 2nd island).

Gj man, i know many ppl complain about 1st island but it's the most challenging and fun part of the game, rest is just mindless clicking. If you beat it, you can beat everything else.

i really would say FUN on the first island
cause u have to grind through all undead stacks
and later u have to be VERY lucky with the RNG and the spells the bosses cast

which will let u restart a couple of times before u get it

it's not even rewarding beating the island with no losses( a something that you achieved)

[zjazd18]

Yes it's very RNG based, but after mulitple reloads you will finally get it, it gives a sense of the feeling that you are improving your strategy, i know it's not really the case but it's still nice. Rest of the game is faceroll so i would rather struggle thru first island rather than win fights simply by clicking things in random order.

yeah feeling it now already just mass clicking and raping ANY enemy stack that is front of me

i notice myself just calling the song against undead , even if there is no undead stack just cause of automatisme

i mean INVICIBLE stacks were really invicble in AP (before level 15 or something)

here i am LITTERALLY laughing my ass of at Deadly stacks or w/e

i am lol dafuq? IMPOSSIBLE on WOTN feels like normal on KBAP or something

Hum hum. I got 3 trolls (divided into 3 stacks). But the boss keeps killing them. Should I bring more units? Or am I doing something wrong?

My problem with the first islands is that the game is less interesting when you have very few options at hand. It feels like a grind after a dozen battles... later on, one has far greater variety in spells/abilities, but unfortunately many of the combinations are so OP that it becomes too easy... (or the opponents are too weak / need special abilities as well)

About the spider: I thought only the ranged retaliation spit deals poison damage? Stone skin seemed to work well on melee attacks. And my 3 trolls (in one stack, which shouldn't matter) survived the attacks without a problem, not sure why they die in Avo's case. Are a lot of the small spiders attacking them as well? (those deal poison damage)
