DemiGod Builds?

**peardog** · 09-21-2009, 01:50 PM

What Builds are you folks Using? I have been working on Sedna and getting used to her. Mostly a Pounce / Heal Combo.. My Favor item is Blood of the Fallen.. due to lack of Favor points.. I am saving up at this point..but not sure where I'm headed... I have really been getting my ARSE handed to me online.. Again.. 3v3 and I get stuck o nthe bad team.. which means I must be the Achilles heel.. heh

I was working with Erebus..and read to Build up on BITE... but the last few games I really have been getting wacked.. BTW OAK and Unclean Beast seem to be overpowered at a point.. But OAK is ungodly late in the game..

Any tips or pointers would be appreciates..
Thanks

I'm confused. Are builds of various demigods persistent, or is it a Dawn of War 2 style where you can level up your hero and outfit him with different gear, but the build isn't persistent between matches?

Not Persistent.. I have a few that are like Steps in building a Type... What to develop first second etc.. stuff to buy.. But it's a new go each game..

You get favor points for items you can unlock.
So they can range from plus mana or health per second or give or buff your current abilities.

Each demigod can gain xp through killing things.
Usually the idea is to either kill the enemy demigod or easier is killing the enemies peons that spawn wave after wave.

As you gain xp you can choose what abilities the demigod gains with each new level. I have noticed that they break this down into 5 categories. Health, attack, control, defend and depending on what role the demigod is the 5th is kill more or interrupt.

These skills change according to what you want to do with the charchter in game. Sit back and D or go into the maw of the enemy and kill, kill and kill some more. Sure you can do both... but usually that works out badly especially if the other guys team has players filling specific roles.
Kill, D or just control the map and win through attrition.

Wow...didn't think I thought that much about demigod.

Pear, dude, we seriously got to play online this Friday. Say around 7pm central?

I picked it up today. I gave Oak a shot, but I'm not "getting" the "General" style of gameplay, so I'm fiddling with the Unclean Beast.

That UB is such a pain the rear.
Once he get's going it's hard to even compete with the UB. I know when playing Oak I can't even compete with a UB that's even being used half correctly.

I enjoyed that he seems to be focused on offense, with many area-of-effect abilities as you get deep into his ability tree. I was, like, "OK. Attack the enemy. I can do that."

Have you all applied for the ready to play beta?

http://www.stardock.com/products/readytoplay/
It's basically a mix of xfire and steam.
In that xfire says your friends are online or in game and playing this game. But it's also like steam where it shows the servers that are available and allow you to join from the desktop.

Secondly, according to the info it can also recommend players to you. Through a survey and linking you to players that feel the same way.

At this time it's currently getting set through its paces by owners of demigod. Then it will release to the genpop later in the future.

OAK later on..is not a fun dude to go against... But I think that if you get a guy who knows what he is doing..tey are all pretty balanced.. A tower rook will back you into a corner easily.. Hate them now...

Grrr..
