I was curious what everyone thinks of the game so far? Likes, Dislikes? Found any bugs yet?

Any hints on R1? I keep getting overrun and I have problems with the kill cursed giants part as well. Also stuck on P4 and Q6, right now I'm Lv 66.

@thunderrider Bloodbound, Swarmling Domination and Endurance are not available for non-premium players.

Grinding on glaring with max settings (well, 6 traits only) gives enough XP in non-premium, but the maps to do it are limited to early maps or maps with favorable gem types.

Non-premium is definitely grind-heavy, but it's not like you need levels above 200-250 either.

Well I've beaten the game without premium when I was like wizard level 80.
All you need is:
- a pure yellow for damage (enhance with bolt&barrage).- tome at R1
- a pure orange for mana (enhance with beam) - tome at B5
- lots of fragments with %damage against giants (I had 70%)

What/where is the last battle trait?

Okay, beat H4, but still no Freeze skill...hmm...

Time to attempt without so many skill points used.

Okay...still having trouble with H4's skill tome. Thought maybe enraging each wave with at least one grade 1 gem would work. Anyone know of possible alternatives to opening that skill tome?

Enrage swarm waves with 4x grade 3s and use beam. Enrage reaver waves with 1-2 grade 3s.

You do know that the only enhancement spell I have is Bolt, correct?

Plus, Bolt seems to be a good enough substitute until you get Beam, from what I've witnessed. Grade 8 red-green gem + Bolt = Pwnage.

Reason being, that's how I got H4's skill tome a few minutes ago. Enraging waves like crazy, then spamming Bolt in an effective way. Works like a charm.

I just finished X5 in both charged and not charged, and just got the S hextiles.
Can't seem to do anything after this.
Does there is no playable level in the S hextiles?

Just did a maxed-out playthrough of field F4, surviving as long as I could...

...and I got some 50k experience from it thanks to all the battle traits. Also got my first rarity 20+ talisman fragment: 23 rarity, to be exact. Pretty good haul, eh?

Going to start grinding Shadow Cores so I can upgrade that sucker. Higher max freeze charge, extra damage to swarmlings, and more of my wizard level goes towards initial mana and XP. I'd say it's a pretty good haul for what it is. Too bad I only got one...

@m0omb4 In journal note wizard writes "I'll have to prepare myself first"
I suppose that this means beating everything on haunting. Even if beating everything on haunting would unlock S1, there is bugged field, nobody could unlock N7 yet.
