Spirit Island Solo: Beware of Guard Dog-Horse-Cow-Thing! (Russia 6)

In this livestream of Solo Playthroughs, Greg brings Russia 6 back to the channel with another bizarrely powerful Nature Incarnate* spirit, Hearth-Vigil.

Wow the spirit is really strong. Just by comparison to thunderspeaker. The fact that she has to destroy presence if Dahan is destroyed but he gets to keep the presence if any dahan survives is insane. I would understand it if they made the other power weaker but they are not.

That's such a great comparison, Mahdi. It really helps to highlight one of the reasons that this spirit is kind of absurd as designed.

Yeah this spirit is fucking stupid. Far far far too powerful. Stompy Boi is kinda funny and fun while being great. This thing just isn't funny or fun imo. You did almost nothing in this game, didn't touch the right innate, and still almost had a TL1 win vs Russia. Very much looking forward to Gaze. Played it twice, didn't really feel like I figured it out yet. I hear it's also stupid good when you unlock it. But let's see how it goes! Cheers Greg.

Agreed. Far more than ANY other spirit, I really just don't get the design decisions behind this spirit. It's so obviously overpowered and not very mechanically interesting. I can see Gaze being really cool though!
