While the game itself already give simple recommendation of what a good combo of starter are (centaur+flora or lizard+lymean), i'm curious to know if the veterans have their own reccomendation of a good starter combo?
Anything with high base beauty is good for a money start in the brothel.
Otherwise i'm partial to ShadowLizard, who is an extremely powerful combat unit with his backstab skill, has amphibious movement type (best in the game right now behind flying) and is NOT shadowbound!
And a seduction/support unit as the second, i like pure succubus (drain skill helps in headhunting) for the balanced stats and anything with the "focus" spell that break the action economy.
This sounds good in theory, but:
1: she can't be engaged meaning she has 2 AP every turn so she can get rid of the lust on the next turn.
2: she has teleport on turn end and map-wide speed meaning you can easily find yourself out of position to use lust on her.
3: Even if you cast 2 Lightning Storm for 200 damage each, that's still a bit less than half her health so we're not talking about turn 1 burst...
4: You effectively need to breed 2 of each lust/caster specialists which on itself is a difficult and time-consuming task
So you need a significant amount of luck for the AI to commit a mistake, which I've learned it frequently doesn't in this game. I highly doubt your claim of "EZ kill" on her.
You can manipulate the giant's teleport turn 1 by placing your own characters adequately. Takes a bit of calculation, but if your team is high enough a level you'll have enough speed to chase her turn 2 also (8 for a close combat unit, 5 or 6 for a caster, and doesn't matter for Kitsune).
Freezing makes her skip 1 turn and only gives her 5 armor for the frozen turn in return. It's a steal.
Once you've got 1 good unit, getting a second one of the same type is much easier: find another same species (or create it if playing Siena, or breed it, fuck the genes), fuse with a gened up new spirit (who only has his elemental trait+a random one, very quick to raise), now you only need to breed for genes. the potion that makes inheritance 60% per roll instead of 35% will make sure you have an easy time transferring your 6 to 9 core traits (alchemy lvl 2 home building). It's only one breeding cycle.
Note that fully evolved, humanoid/beast type spirits CAN BE BRED! Which means ou can easily get an infinite source of gened up/trait bank spirits to fuse on your units.
Can you unlock the kitsune form as Evo? It gives me the impure ritual option, but then tells me that I'm unable to unlock giants.
Or more over, can you breed kitsune and have the children end up being a kitsune? I tried using Evo with invalid forms to try and force a kitsune child and its giving me seemingly random child species.
The way to breed Kitsune/Liferoots/other troublesome unique-gendered stuff is to fuse a spirit onto them. Fuse a male spirit onto a kitsune and force the inheritance of male gender. If you've beaten two of them, you now have one male and one female... enjoy the power trip!
You can't unlock the Kitsune form though, neither on Evolution or Creation.
Seriously, how do I recruit Terranva? The "use teleport stone inside an artifact unstable portal" method I found on an earlier post here doesn't work at all.
On a day multiple of 5 (day 5, 10, 15, 20 and so on...), in an artifact portal, between 00:00 and 03:00, use a teleportation stone.
