This is the difficulty I use for 100% difficulty freeplay runs, it allows my characters to hit 0 HP without issue. If you're the type that likes to save in portals you could do unlimited saving and take the wasteful bonus.
thank you, I will see if I can get stuff in this run. I am using creation because I could use the power to Recreate that thing I was trying to unlock, but I am not sure if it works like that.

I Find creation easer to play/cheese .....one word ...Spore View attachment 1040331
Wait, you can turn those? Mind-control spell/artifact or capture net during shroom bossfight? Species unlock through the "gene learning" of the succubus skill tree and fucking the boss? Damn, looks like i'm still far from the top cheese. I usually bring a team that's able to clean the shrooms in one turn.

Yes it does. To unlock something for the gallery/starters, level it up to 10. Elementals need lvl 15 for their unlock though.
If you're talking about rituals for in-game progression, you can't perform rituals with created characters. Best bet is to create both parent species and breed the desired result.

I learned that the hard way and my only issue is leveling up, and through my time playing it seems that the teacher/Student is one of the best ways, but you still have to level up the teacher first, and through all my attempts at doing this has honestly drove me to near insanity and I appreciate all the help.

Combat is a science in this game, and with enough practice you can pull off things like this : day 1 King kill with Viridion, no cheats.
Pre-game bonus : farmer (i could have picked something combat related bu i want a normal run after that), familiar (loyal trait bonus), tentacle companion, prepared (max lvl starters)
Reruited 1 centaur for 300 gold, fought in the arena with two starters+recruit to C rank, bought basic swords/armour/gloves with my earnings. Remember to spend time with your starters to get their morale above 75 for the bonus. Tentacle and centaur recruit died during the King fight because i'm dumb and in challenge 1, enemies have 25% more health/str/mag so the two dragons had 15 attack and the king 18 on day 1 already, and about 60 hp each. fml.

Tl;dr : don't give up on learning combat, it's very gratifying once you're there.

That sounds like it was difficult, but I am just a noob and I usually avoid combat stuff that I could have normally went through with it, like fighting 18-32 enemies maybe 32 but I am not sure.

so I am not sure what a good starting strategy or what are some good starters, and since I have yet to unlock any starters, I just picked Lymean and Shadow, although I could have picked Plantgirl and Lavagirl or something else. and I usually just let the AI handle what I think I could do unless it’s to recruit an enemy or just take down a single enemy with a squad of 2-3 units.

even on difficulties that I should be able to handle are difficult for me but I am getting the hang of the combat stuff and how certain units move as well as what impacts their movements (such as water and or lava being prime examples).

but honestly, I think it’s just trying to balance everything out, when I should be focusing on a single task at a time, especially when your first thing is going to be getting gold, so I think training your starters and getting at least 1 egg out of it would be fine as long as you get enough to actually get a decent income from the Brothel.

but I am not sure that is smart unless you get lucky in the portal in terms of *unit name* wants to join before or after hiring another unit.

I know this is a lot of text, but having playing through the game (with varying degrees of attempts) I’m still a noob yet I understand far more than I ever did, and too much of the focus is leveling as fast as possible.

Despite being on a porn games pirate site (and the game being free), Portals of Phereon is very much a management and strategy game.

Starters don't really matter, unless you're aiming for something very specific (exp potion farming *cough cough*). When you go for the high difficulty achievements (200 and 600%) you'll have to nuke their base stats anyway (0 points pre-game) so you learn do do without. Or if you want to buff up your MC points.

Beginners get lost because there's so much to do at once : leveling up (combat), getting new characters, breeding, crafting, the brothel, portal exploration and events, the King quests... and you can do all of them at the same time!
That's why it's so hard to learn. It's a strategy game with no real-time limit imposed on the player, so you can take your time and think every move quietly for each category of activity. I can spend more than an hour on each game-time day until i've got my powerball rolling.

But really, the auto-combat function is really inferior to what your own brain can cook.

Try checking the screen resolution setting of the game in the options? It's my best guess.
No effect unfortunately, I tried switching between full screen/windowed as well as testing other resolutions but no dice. I am on Linux so that could be the problem but it sounds like other Linux users haven’t had this issue so idk.

To play creation well, you need to decide her role pre-game to adjust her traits and genes accordingly, because her stats level up like other units. Then, earn money early and keep her lvl 1 until you've corrupted enough units to change her lvlType from average to something more fitting of that role (early slime tree).

Then you can start to breed/recruit a team and level up creation with worthwhile stats. Her power of creation is amazing to complete all "breeding" type quests once you've farmed enough base genes through rituals. It'll also help endgame to patch up whatever ritual you haven't done yet with easy access to breeding those species.

For combat, think about your action economy. Characters with the "agile" trait, and the focus spell can break the action economy by getting 2ap always. Spells like "jump" and "blink" let you move a bit without spending your precious AP. Charge-style attacks and spells let you move and attack at the same time. That's the kind of thing that will you take over fights from turn 1 and stomp your enemies. Shields (aegis, protect and teleport with mag>7) on your units engaging multiple enemies at once by themselves is very worth it too. If you buy into 1-timers, ice spirits can stun every enemy once.

For training i'll assume it's level ups, you've safe options, and you've got combat. Your MC can trade 30min and 10 energy for 10 xp (15when Aila is here) in the training room. Aila can train your units two times a day with relation >20, 50xp for 300 gold each time. You can craft XP potions by farming craft components (3 different recipes, some species produce 1 item daily, it's written in "others" on their page, needs morale>25).
And you can fight. If you fear they might die in portals, you can put units in reserve mode so they don't participate in combat 25%exp penalty though).

There you go :)

Thank you for the tips andstuff, But I meant to say Evolution but since I am almost nowhere with that I'll start a new save with Creation, also I am not sure how to Craft things. it says only in town but through all of my time I still haven't figured out how to find out how to open the crafting menu.

The crafting interface is open map>bottom right "crafting" (red icon, close to the score board and journal). Crafting isn't 100% needed, but it's a definite plus.

For Evolution, it's all about finding powerful traits and copy/pasting them on your units, like potential, ancient power, arcane etc... There's a special tip to abuse, and that's spirits. You can give them one trait each time they change form, so 3 traits on 1 spirit when you've evolved them! It's amazing for fusion. "Catalyst" is another trait you're looking for early so you can even fuse spirits together and make trait banks to fuse on your units all at once. A fusion focus in the farm is definitely possible here.
Just remember to perform your rituals before fusing :p
With more rituals you'll unlock more body parts for Evolution herself, and it's the easiest mix-and-match game of "what stats do you want on your character". I still recommand going for one of the special forms early (in the rituals points tree, i mean lust form, strength form, support form etc... they're very strong early), chimera form mid-game when you've unlocked good body parts, and god-form late when you've unlocked all special forms.

It's not the latest generation yet, but the relevant genes are already maxed, sooo: here's the kind of OP end-game unit you can breed. In this case, it's day 23 :)
I'll have to get some +armor consumables, but Rockfish are a bitch to get. And yes, you can breed seedlings, since their final evolutions have gender! (or fuse them with catalyst.)
Now i've got an infinite supply of gene-maxed OP dragons, that i can blood sacrifice onto any humanoid non-seedling (including uniques, and contrary to fusion it doesn't change their ID, they keep their unique name and traits) that i want. I might do a second branch for mage-types, since those traits are focused on physical type. Needless to say, i can skip days until the final mission and sleep easy now.

edit: realised my mistake, i already filled the 10 trait slots so i can't adapt "ancient power" on them for 20% more everything now :(

clockwinding Haven't played this game in quite a while but I take it blood magic is still the good shit? No incentive for not commiting parricide yet?
The last screenshot with my dragon farm is from a day 1 king kill... i have no arguments to add. It just lets you breed seedlings out of control so quickly, and then any unit you want becomes max-stat. Definitely the good stuff, but letting the King live lets you accumulate king-potions over time (and you won't need to worry about money again), which are kinda needed if you want to use some Unique characters (their level is often capped at 10).
Just remember to pick "merciless" starting trait (+50 max morale) or however it's called to still be able to live with morale >75 after killing your dad. Farming bosses to raise morale before end-game is time you don't wanna lose.

I used to tank the max morale loss and instead pick the trait to allow the use of large numbers of stat boosting items. Then farming the +magic herbs to use on the Prince because he had a finite number of stat boosts in his skill trees unlike Evolution and Creation who gain stats by leveling up. But then again I don't know how balance changed since last August or so.

Anyway if that's a Day 1 patricide you've shown then yeah, good bye old man :ROFLMAO: Who needs family when you have power?

Are there any comprehensive guide on unlocking traits and profession? I heard there is a new profession called Elementalist, but it would be a chore going in blindly to try and unlock new stuff. I could complete the game at 400% difficulty but man does the author make it hard for post game thing with obfuscation
