Early game use of Succubus

Hellboy · #1 April 21st, 2007, 02:26 PM

I've done some searching on Succubus, and found some useful tips, but it seems like many of them have to do with high end equipment. Anyone have any pointers to offer on using a succubus in early game?

I'm thinking cat charm and skull talisman, but eye of the void also looks tempting. Thing is, if I go w/ eye of the void and cat charm, then I have used up my 2 misc slots, and it seems better to have summoning item than the penetration.

Any tips are much appreciated!

You might also consider magic focus and protection against missles. Or maybe bark skin amulet. Missiles can be bad for them.

Also luck cant be overlooked. There is a luck sword which wont use up a misc slot. I also like the one-hand weapon that has alot of parry on it.

Some shields can help also. Such as the vine one that will hold them for you. or the luck shield.

I saw that elsewhere, and I haven't tried that out yet, but it's surprising to me that that's better than an item that allows summons. So a single water elemental is better than a stream of longdead?

I would say that the single water elemental would be better than 1 longdead per turn but taking a skull talisman, bottle of living water and lucky coin should work.

Bottle of living water is constr 6, so that'll have to wait a bit.

Also though, I was thinking the cat charm was going to help the seduction chance, which is the main point anyhow. Anybody have any idea of how helpful the cat charm is? I was wondering if the MR reduction of the eye of the void might be more helpful anyhow.
