Wasp or Wood Elemental

[vinzi]

Hello gents,

Right now im at the point where i have to choose either of the two. The wasp seems overall more useful to me but im worried that there might not be another marionette that can heal.

So yea do i loose out if i don't take the wood ele or can i pick up another healer later?

What difficulty are you playing on? I ended up taking the elemental, but I almost never use him just for the heal. I don't have all of the puppets yet, but I'm a little bit into book 2 and I haven't seen another one with a heal.

Really, it's just a choice between a glass cannon rogue (wasp) or a tanky mage (elemental). The only other thing that I think might influence your decision is that you might not want to take the elemental with Kalig, since they use the same weapons.

Im playing on hard. Is there any list yet of which marionettes are out there?

my serious drunken advie is take the wood ele on hard cause when and if you play extreme the wood ele will just be destroyed before his heals can really count for much, now dont get me wrong the wood ele can still be good for his heals OUTSIDE of combat but on extreme he wont stand a chance, thats basicly my thoughts and reason behind me not taken wasp on first playthrough, now i have not even looked at wasp skills so take my post with a pinch of salt over a tequilla.

EDIT: my 3rd and final playthrough will be on easy mode with haste and in that i will take kalig and just blitz through for a 100% achi on this game. but im no pro i can be wrong in many things. i still have fun trying.

hasn't anyone finished the game and can say whether or not there is another healer in the game?

Shadow skeleton from Royal Tomb IV (if you take him instead of Bone key and Drakonian) has vampirism totem that heals every hero even inactive but don’t heal shadow skeleton at all.

As I saw every servant I can say that the Bee is one of the weakest. She is a melee assassin with worst in-game piercing auto-attack and not much good skills (there are better agility heroes). On the other hand Tree is useful only for heal (though in combat especially with many enemies or many aoe healing totems get crushed quickly). I see them as temporary puppets. Best mages are Draconian and Lizard. And every agility hero is better than Wasp.
