so, I wanted to give vampire one more shot (I still have no win with them) and started with the best god of the game
surprisingly, survived lair and got my hands on chaotic autumn katana as well as some summoning spells
I am currently not sure what to do - my normal approach to winning the game is to flood zot with rivers of flame or summons of some kind. or should I try to raise dodging/shields and do melee focused build? if going melee, is it better to keep katana or get something better?

You’ve got a solid base for either build. I see you have summon forest available which is probably what I’d go for next, that’s not a very expensive spell but will be great in spider… maybe not so much in shoals but it still an excellent spell that can be useful well into zot. Hopefully, along the way you’ll pick up some more summons to get the ball rolling then you can use the katana to manass enemies engaged with your summons.
My plan here would be summons + translocations, to try to abuse the chaotic autumn katana with Manifold Assault. I believe with Autumn katana the manifold assault can chain.
And this way you get maximal chance to benefit from Choas whilst still probably still being able to run away when they get might+invis+haste.
You’ve got Manifold Assault in the library. (I note you also have -2 translocations aptitude?)
It’s probably a bad plan, and it’d be likely to get me killed. But it would be awesome if it works.
