Your first major battle is a bit tougher than the students you faced before, since the Sage's Betehorn isn't weak to the elements of your existing Minions.
You'll find the Minor Sage waiting inside. That collected, head for the door with the three locks. In the adjacent room, you'll find a hooded man who will give you a Map of the current floor. The door you need to unlock is back the way you came, but before you head there, continue west through the next door. Beating her earns you some money and the last Key. Chirpla's a speedy little devil and will probably go first, but it will go down rather easily to a physical attack or one of Zapig's electrical attacks. If, and only IF, it gets the first hit, this skillset will gamble its life for a chance to kill a minion quickly, though this will make it dead-weight as soon as it tries this.Another straightforward fight. Using the Electric and Demonic skill trees, this skillset tries to combine speed with power and a chance to stun.ĭEMONIC BUILD: (5% Affinity in Speed or Attack) All numbers are for a minion at Level 60, with the total amount of skill points being 17, with one point used to access a tree.ĮLECTRIC BUILD: (5% Affinity in Speed or Attack) NOTE: Numbers in brackets are the number of skill points needed to invest in those skills.

Is it still in the kennels? No? Then look towards this guide on how to make the dog slightly less worthless for your party! As it stands though, this mutt deserves to be deposited in the kennels and left there.permanently. This says a lot regarding the game designer and their choices of stat builds with minions, because a lot of the minions in the game suffer from these common problems that could all be fixed very easily. Strangely enough, Houndler's only difference between Ant-8r in terms of stats is that Ant-8r has higher Energy and Houndler has slightly higher Attack. To top it all off, its move trees have very little synergy with the minion itself, and thus is hard to work with in any team The Electric Tree has a garbage stat-boosting passive and a random Earth move tacked on for no reason, and its strongest attack deals with gambling and a chance to miss The Demonic Tree has a weak stat-boosting passive and terrible attacks that deal little damage or deal with exhaustion The Reflect Tree is a hodgepodge of terrible attacks that can't be used to its best due to low speed, and a weak Reflect buff to make it relevant enough to name it so. It won't save him from his weaknesses of Earth, Dino, and Holy either. Though Houndler looks as though it could tear off the leg of any foe with ease, its stats doesn't reflect that at all, especially because he's an evolved minion, and that in itself has no excuse for poor stats. Nothing in its design told me it should be part-demonic either, but none of that matters due to having worse problems than its design.
Upon initial discovery, I thought Houndler could be part Water/Demonic, so finding out that this thing is part-electric made me feel that it has no place being electric at all. The following below contribution is by Txpot.
