Bakemono advice please

[Blaise_art]

Is there something I should rush as bakemono? I feel like I'm not growing my forces fast enough.

The archer big guys are good for initial small indi fights

IMO the Bakemono have been very weak since I started playing at COE 3. I have yet to try them in 5 but I don't think they got a major buff.

have anyone tried low cost rituals? like only 20 blood for major summon? is it better than pay 100?

That depends on how much you like your summons attacking you. Always pay high on the first summon, because while the bakemono are fairly weak, their summons are not. And it's not uncommon for a brash sorcerer to meet their end at the angry fists of a kappa.

You definitely want to rush the greater summoning rituals as bakemono though. I've heard those are insanely powerful. I usually die to a kappa, so I wouldn't know myself.

early game I like to spam summon lesser beings. Kappa are solid tanks and Tengu rip through lots of things from afar, helps with capping cities and large towns. Then when you have solid sacrfice economy running, you can start with the mid level oni summons etc.

in most cases spend the full amount possible on summons, if they turn against you its fully lost currency, you specialy dont want this to happen in early game.

from what i understand the smaller summons that give you oni and kappa and such are rly good to spam, back them up with the bakemono archer guys if possible. the other bigger summons seem to mostly summon powerfull commanders, those are rly good late game.

As with most factions that have garbage recruitables (or too expensive good ones) i recommend a turtle strategy until you can reach a critical mass doomstack (enough ranged damage to win battles with close to 0 losses). Also dont hesitate to thrown in some of the garbage goblinoids for siege battles to soak up some damage, with enough mines you get a bunch of them.
