Pythia character is very diffculty
I remember trying her out in the demo, she has some floating orbs around her , expecting to hit enemies, but its damn near to be able to complete anything with this character, the orbs barely is hitting enemies unless you time it correctly and with so many enemies, idk but this character is all wrong.

In the full version did they change her powers?

Apollo’s Light (that’s the name of her power) has been adjusted and now features several transformations. You can collect more orbs, apply a Curse effect, and push back enemies, giving you more space to make her ability work. Early on, the orbs require some aiming, but their damage output increases significantly as the battle progresses.

Cool thanks, nice to know!

I think she'd be easier to play with the orbs closer to her then expanding out later with skills when you have more abilities.

Really every character should be viable before level 5.

her and brontes, with no meta progression in the hards of a new player, even a great player, imo you have like 10% chance to win. There skills are just so trash, and there otherwise the squishiest characters too (pythia cuz health penalty and Brontes cuz he's; insanely slow and big hitbox)

Cuz there base skills are just so trash.

Sure after 5 decent lvl ups and a good transformation, they can be come viable.

But every other character at that point is not just viable, but quite powerful.

Another solution if you just dont want to balance the characters:
Lvl2 you pick a skill, and you start with ~60 gold for rerolls. So you can avoid lvling your starting skill at all.

I was looking for this topic, she's horrible. The aoe is too large at the start, you can't even mine or build properly. Most of the new unlocks seems outright bad.

I found a way to play her, i give her battering ram and arrow upgrades for the rest, give her lots of range and power and she can mow stuff down before it gets to her.
Give her some armor upgrades too, when packs of mobs get too close send her battering ram thru them.

Early on i mine a lot then find 3-4 construction circles close to each other and place turrets on them all. Then all you need is sit back and watch the orbs roll in for fast upgrades.

balls of her basic spell are too far form her, too low in life; too slow move speed for her difficulty to touch mobs at start

i agree, balls closer at the start would help a lot

Hi everyone, thank you for your feedback and suggestions! Full agree from our team, Pythia still needs some adjustments. We are looking into it right now, so stay tuned for the updates :)

Alright, what do you think now? In Update 0.5, we moved the orbs closer to Pythia - does she feel better to play?
