Daemons, which is the best of all?

[tolsimir5]

I want to know which is the most popular daemon, so I posted this pool. I think the results may show the lion, the bunny or the monkey but I'm not sure, because they are so difficult to get. So let's vote. ;D

I guess it matters what you mean by best. I will guess it is in terms of scoring the highest score on a ghost summon...

I haven't played the rabbit (which could be quite good) but from what I have seen the monkey is so far the best. I had high hopes for the snake, but after insta-popping every brick in a whole summon for 30k+ in game hostillity I found that orb attacks are still much more important both in terms of preventing others from beating your ghost and also for scoring more hostillity. This would seem to make the lion and bear also not as useful in scoring points. Additionally you have to beat the base points to win a duel and only the rabbit and monkey can add to your base score.

It really depends on your style of playing.

As for me...my reflexes suck, so i went with the turtle to give me more time.

Snake and bear are more dueling-type daemons...
Lion is also more geared to duels imo, cause it interferes with orb attacks.

Rabbit is definitely good for summoning building point bonuses for quick matches.

Monkey...imo not really useful until max cause its near impossible to sustain a 30x plus with 50% less time. 10% less time is more of a minor annoyance than a barrier to big points.

Turtle increases time by 10 to 50%. Again, not real useful till max.

For you noobs, pick turtle or monkey as summon daemons. NAO

haha
<--- this noob uses the monkey
i've tried turtle, but the bonus to the multiplier that monkey gives is really helpful for combos from wut i've seen

i haven't practiced enough to really keep my combos going for much longer than that other than through luck

In the beta, I preferred Lion, but so far, in the official release, I haven't achieved it yet. I'm hoping I can use it to produce a stronger ghost.

My ranking from best to worst: monkey, lion, rabbit (never used it but its gotta be better than the rest), snake, bear, deer, turtle, toad.

It seems to me that the best way to achieve more strength is either to achieve more points or more hostility. As far as I know, the only way to achieve a large numer of points in a minute and a half without using any exploits is through high-chain multipliers. The best daemon for doing this is the monkey. The downfall of using the monkey, is that you only gain hostility from weapons. On the other hand, since the lion significantly adds hostility points to each chain, I consider the lion to also be very powerful. The turtle seems to be the worst, since even though it slows down the time it takes for the blocks to fall, the minute and a half that you are given to summon your ghost goes by just as fast. Besides, after your multiplier reaches about x19 the blocks fall significantly faster, making it difficult to keep the chain, even if you use the turtle or the time stopper weapon. If you're new at the game; however, it may be best to start out with the turtle since it makes it gives you more time to plan your chains. I don't see how the toad helps you at all, I've never used the rabbit, and after insta-popping everything with the snake, my score was still low. The bear is good if you're not very good at making chains and you want to rely more on the mana orb. This may be another good choice for noobs. As far as the deer, its a pain in the butt trying to use just the blocks that are highlited.

after personally using the rabbit, i want to retract my vote and say the rabbit is the best. it gives u the highest score if u can maintain your multiplier. and i looks the best... so add awesome looks to awesome ability and u got best daemon
