Assemble spell should be banned in single hero mode

What's the point of interacting with allied heroes when there are none? Worse than just being useless, Assemble may pull levels from other tier 3 spells.

Unless, of course, there are allied players/bots. Though I'm still not certain about its usability even in that scenario.

Auto-combat farms Prismatic Nests without losses and I want to know how

https://preview.redd.it/b6364lb15lhh1.png?width=450&format=png&auto=webp&s=3cbcb7e2a6eca66afb21a16ab1fe64e25550c870

So, Kittenhorns - the bane of all that's holy, the "I don't want to deal with them" and "if they guard it, it's not worth it" kind of menace. However, sometimes, somehow, auto-combat does this:

I mean clearing Prismatic Nest with four Kittenhorn stacks with no losses. And I don't know how. And I do want to know how. Yet if I replay, I still suffer from berserk and from losses. Like in this case.

No, while my hero knows Stone Fangs, "use spells in autoresolve" switch is toggled off.

I do not have Automated Antimagic Shield, full Dwarven Fortitute set, 5/8 or even full Power of the Dragon Father set equipped. Well, I actually tested all four (fishing for a specific artifact is no fun) and none of those actually work against Kittenhorn's berserk. Bug, I assume. I wonder if Xirr's immunity counters them, but I'm not too eager to test it.

Thus, the question remains: how does autoresolve do that?

Negative morale/luck and proc chance

https://preview.redd.it/f9jap3kfj0gh1.png?width=474&format=png&auto=webp&s=0dc7ab0564e98eb1a7825dbbcbc6522614679f52

So, let's say I leveled up to Walking Rot and now my opponent has negative morale. Great.

And then I have Necropolis law: Terror and Dread - The chance of Morale or Luck triggering for enemy creatures decreases by 1%/2% for each point of their Morale or Luck, respectively.

Now, the question is: will picking this law actually reduce the chance of triggering negative morale, or will it be taken into account somehow?

How do I report a bug?

Tye post is mainly to question about the bug reporting mechanism itself. The bug in question is simple: imported text is treated as hypertext.

The text has some missing blocks - lines framed in < > brackets, excluding the cases where < is followed by non-letter symbols.

For example: Chaotic Craftsman ch1076 on royalroad and on pawchive. Or Syl ch401 on royalroad and on pawchive.

Will Smile of Heaven actually matter?

By this point in time, SoH is a kind of overloaded Checkov's Gun, but one G3 seems to have shot himself in the foot with.

As far as we know, the only way SoH could've survived is if she entered 5th NM, which she probably did. Sunny and Nephis can enter 5th NM and conquer it as well, so far so good.

But we now also know that even when Sovereigns conquer 5th NM, they are unlikely to achieve successful apotheosis. Sovereigns. And SoH is merely a master. Basically, even if she is saved by conquering the nightmare, she will only become Cursed instead.

Not that it'd be easy to accept another Spirit just popping up.

I also doubt that G3 will just kill SoH off.

Which leaves us in a weird situation where either resolution leads to doom.

Crackhead theory: Teacher Julius is Noctis

In the previous volume, we discovered that Noctis was recruited by Weaver, so it stands to reason that he has some grand role in the story. And it is precisely Teacher Julius whose role in the story is most overlooked while at the same time most pivotal - if he didn't insist on Sunny's swimming lessons, he'd be an instant goner.

Beyond that, Julius' manner of speech is somewhat eccentric, he is one of the most knowledgeable people about Dream Realm and its history, and he made fast friends with Sunny, all of that matching Noctis.

More yet, Julius is currently teaching Dumpling, another saint with wolven transformation ability!

What do you guys think?
