Spiral King - Am I even ready for this?

[Dracon]

So I apparently hit level 50, but am completely unsure whether I am even ready for this.
Also whether Foxmaid actually got all her Tails as her feat seems to be stuck at lv 3 for a while now.
And if not, how far should I sell my fame down?

What I do see is that I seem to fail to recruit A+ Ranked Adventuerers by about 20 Charisma, (Meshnerda by 60), Misaki, and therefore I guess Kinu too also seem to need 80+ to recruit for me.

Hence I'm starting to wonder if my stats are highly below my level. Most Dungeon bosses are just HP tanky, Blade Omega and Shugh Somewhat (The summoning Yth) - Urrgs.

That Spiral King Boss just now though - No idea what it even does, but I fail horribly and even the normal ones deal tons of damage.

Spiral King hits hard, I will not deny that. I had to kite him for half an hour with my trusty putit in amber. :v

Brother how low level are you lol or are you doing a lonely soul run and just don't have gear yet?

Actually I do have one party mate (cat girl sister) in symbiosis, and we're both pummeling monsters with putits in amber LOL. :v

I can do 50th floor in the void, and spiral king still nuke me in a single attack if he get to use magic. Because magic justt straight bypass any PV and will direct hit on your health points ( and I only have 200 so.... yeah.

best bet is to silence him and he become kinda useless.

What I mean, is, it's okay to have 'weaknesses' to keep exploring higher level dungeon. The real question is : Can you reliably kill most of the stuff and can you reliably survive them ? Do you have alternatives for when it doesn't work ? If so, you're somewhat ready.

The cat girl sister is kinda wasted being hosted as she can't use her speed properly. So unless you're super fast you're likely nerfing her speed by having her ride you which defeats the purpose of that companion specifically as she's super frail but compensates by having insanely high base speed.

Spiral Kings are the strongest standard elites in the game.

They use sound based magic and it's a full screen AoE. It's sound ball.

It will dim your team and if you get dimmed twice, you get muddled and that makes you basically KO'd and you will pass turns. Pretty much an instant death.

Sound resistance can protect you from them. But that's pretty hard to get to 20.

Easiest way to beat them is to be chad as all hell and pretty much just beat them down with pure stats.

Even spamming stuff like ice arrow to try to free or other strategies that normally work are pretty ineffective. My go to strat is to walk up to them and hit them with my sword in any area that I can interpret as a groin. Cat eyes and hero help a lot with this.

I'm level 50. Most of my team is around 40. And I usually lose 2 or all of my 3 allies when facing them. If I even survive at all. If I get muddled it's over.

Luckily past level 50 dungeon you don't have to face them anymore. In level 60+ dungeons they go back to putit tier bosses from level 1 dungeons. And Spiral Kings and the other Lovecraftian horrors are only standard enemies with their very tiny health pools.

Intonation of sound for +15 resistance then.

that's not a spell a player can learn it essentially doesn't exist.

https://ylvapedia.wiki/wiki/Elin:Spellcasting

Perhaps an adventurer might have it (some adventurers and monsters have versions of spells the player cannot acquire)

for example Mysterious Servant Eluminaire has Miasma of Ether which is something that normally doesn't exist for the player (ether bit, ether bolt and ether ball are your only options)

but the player cannot get intonation of sound

Ah honestly just assumed it was a rare spell to find.

Actually you can learn the intonation spell. I have one in my spell list. 50 charges of light intonation. I don't remember exactly how I've got it, but my bet is through draining a rod with mana battery.

Level 1 intonations gives +10 resist to element and convert physical damage to the element. Which is already a solid defense boost

Oh, they were specifically talking about "Sound" element Intonation.

According to the wiki, only Fire, Ice (Cold), Lightning, Light (Holy), and Chaos have corresponding Intonation spells available to the player.

But, not Sound, which is too bad because the defensive aspect of that element having an Intonation spell would have been useful in mitigating the Spiral King's Sound Ball spell attack.

oh, yeah, you're right, never mind X)

IMO it's really a shame that some element don't have some version of the spell.
