WONAFYT not giving bonus xp?

Postby digitalwino on Wed Jun 13, 2012 11:24 am

Under the description it says it's supposed to give bonus xp, but I'm not seeing any bonus xp when I kill the monster that's been summoned. Is it not giving bonus xp, or am I missing something?

You only get the bonus when they have the slow status, which goes away after the first attack. So after the first attack, you won't get the bonus.
We made an expansion and it is awesome. Really, you should check it out, especially if you're looking for some extra challenge.

Normally with WONAFYT, you cast it then leave the monster alone until you've gained enough levels to kill it in a single strike. This has the advantage of removing these monsters to another part of the map and unclogging hallways, saving their valuable XP for later in the game.

You can also hit them just before death, cast summon and hope it resummons them. Although with level 1 monsters, the chance is pretty low... but if you got nothing else to spend resources on... I will often use this if I have the balanced dagger (since you get the same bonus xp from killing something your level as killing something 1 above your level).

Also note that the swap positions glyph will also slow/provide extra xp, and it only costs 3 more mana.

The issue with just summoning everything, is that you probably can't survive bringing everything down low enough to 1 shot after you summon it.

You only need to strike the one monster. If you're level 1, and there is exactly one monster that is not slowed, it has a 100% chance of being affected.

The real issue is that it's going to take up a lot of resources to be able to WONAFYT every single level 1 monster (particularly if some are magic resistant), and a lot of space that may not be available on tighter dungeon layouts. In general, there's no practical way to use WONAFYT prior to a killing blow.
