Spirit of Rage exploit **minor spoilers

[Lari]

I had finished the game a couple of times, and both times, i ended up having lina and the reaper, around level 22-23. At that level they were good, but on my third run i thought i like to bring them to level 30 , so i wanted some extra fast xp and if i could have them as soon as i get them, it 'll make my life even easier later. I know i could easily cheat their level, but i like the challenge to do it for real. Your level in the end were higher than mine? in case, what skill do u use the most? i usually use 1 time back and 1 charge/gizmo per encounter, and it wasn't enough.

I was level 30 at the end with Reaper at lvl30 and Lina at lvl28. I usually used Soul Draining on the first round to get rid of the most heavy stack, usually followed by timeback on the second round to restore the troop that took the most damage in round one. During the fight I usually dropped an Iceball or two to soak some of the damage and an occasional Gismo. At the end of the fight I used chargers and rage drain a lot to replenish enough mana for resurrecting (was a bit obsessive about losses). Played a warrior, so I relied more heavily on Spirits than a mage would.

Played a warrior too, but i didn't relay so heavy on spirit of rage. Probably my bad, but usually the battles ended by turn 3-4, never use soul drain a single time, not even black hole (so not taking the dmg xp bonus at all), my troop just inflict enough damage; target on the first round, and time back on the second one, give me a few losses at the end of battle, if none and i didn't care too much about them anyway. No doubt that u reached level 30, u made an heavy use of them (which probably is the right strategy for warriors) I also liked to have high rage, to max out crits chances/dmg, so i was a little greedy on using rage demanding abilities.

You're telling me, I overupgraded my soul drain and it ended up costing me 70 rage per use, was waiting for that last rage reduction upgrade all the way until lvl30 but it never came. <_< Luckily I had +50% rage from the baby and +50% rage from Pain Skull (which was 2 enemies short of being upgraded at the end of the game by the way, waste of bloody artifact slot) so getting enough rage to cast it didn't prove that much of a problem. Black hole is useless though.

[Lari]

Haahaha the game really should have to say you when you take the last upgrade
70 for 50% is really costly, 35 for 40% is kinda better, a shame also that you can't undercast a spirit of rage like u can with spells, would have been a nice feature!

Yeah, I would have loved to use lower levels of the abilities sometimes, but there's a lot more than 3 levels so you'd need a lot of buttons or a new menu for it.
