Quick refill

[Serdni]

HI,

So, I am to battle Audo, but I only got 20 soulpoints. Before, I hunted bugs and caught fish to keep up the level of soulpoints, but I don't much fancy doing that constantly after every battle I lose. It would become a bit too grindy.

Any tips to quickly recover my 'mana'?
Thanks

fishing is probably the easiest way to get mana, and warp to the pools is your friend, there is always tons of bugs and more importantly, fish around the pools. Also once your done, use the audo warp directly, so you can bypass the paladins in the temple.

Some other easy ways to get mana, higher difficulty card opponents give you 100 souls per win, every skull you guess without the CMs help gives you 60 (30 with help), and there are a few others also.

Since you're at Audo, you must have some usefull skills unlocked.
Joro's Flip, Syn's Pinch and later Purloin

Once I got those skills, I went at areas where ennemies would be very tanky but deal only 1 damage, which allowed me to farm very fast, after 5~6 battles, I could easily be above 800 souls.

Yeh, the soul generating skills really help build an engine later in the game when souls are a bit dry on the ground, or you miss the fishing rod.

Thanks for the tips. I'll try the cards again, though I have only two games left to win. I guess you can replay them even though you beat them, just haven't tried yet.
And I only have the useful skill of Joro (which makes most fights a break-even re souls) and there are still a few skulls left, but these are the one's that hurt my brain and I don't feel like cheating.

For all my group, I am no further than halfway the third row in memories and skill. I presumed that the rest would be unlocked in a new+ game, but perhaps I should have advanced further?

Yeh, from watching people play for the last few days, Joro seems to be falling into either just backup reliable low damage, or taunt + guard cheese combos, I think crack/flip skills are reliable first entries into those skills, but Syn ends up with better soul steal eventually and additional armor busting also, I dont think hes necessarily in a bad place, I just think a few tweaks could make him a bit more viable as the damage option rather than Nix/Syn with Maz on sing

I am thinking of reducing a bit of the self damage on those other Joro skills to make those a bit more viable, they might be a bit more attractive if people can reliably do more than average damage without losing so much health when using those, optionally rather than doing self damage, draws agro, which might actually be a win for all builds but puts the agro attracting abilities in a weird place.
