I’m not that good of a player, the best play through of mine being 3 runes of vaults, swamps and the spider pit. I play TSO gargoyle constantly since I hate using magic but I always die around mid game, is it a good combination or really bad? Just need some clarification
TSO gargoyle with mace and shield is fine but trie-harders wouldn’t regularly play it for 3-rune games. TSO really comes into his own in extended, where you get better piety gain, bonus damage from holy, and heal + mp from kills.
It is good enough that some people would play it for the 3-rune portion because they want TSO in extended and don’t want to deal with god wrath in the transition. Or if they’re playing a challenge.
Why not play Trog or Oka or Mahkleb, or any of the other gods?
Honestly I dislike Trog for the total removal of magic because I sometimes use it, the other gods are fine but I’ve been using TSO gargoyle for a while since I thought the Divine shield, angel and fire was good and buffs allies to so you get more out of summoning scrolls. Just found out you can’t use scrolls ):
