Spirit Island Solo: Invoking Some Swift Strikes! (Scotland 6 + Scenario)

[@SoloPlaythroughs]

Love going back to Lightning just to blow things up all over the place while having to piece together a puzzle with the elements to unlock your innates. Next time you see Lightning, it'll probably be with one of the aspect cards, so stay tuned! Happy Gaming! Greg

[@cereb776]

So, I don't think to highly of base Lightning in true solo and even though this game was being so mean to you, you still showed me a new fun way to break Lightning's reclaim loop with this scenario, so thank you for that :)

[@SoloPlaythroughs]

Awesome! Thanks, Cereb. :) The low complexity spirits always feel a little bit of a downgrade to me but they all can be really fun to play once in a while...especially lightning IMO!

Feargus McHaggis rushed in with his entire clan!

[@SoloPlaythroughs]

Ha! I am 100% stealing that name for future use. :)

To quote Anakin Skywalker "I hate sand" 😂

[@SoloPlaythroughs]

For real! 🤣

[@robertdascoli949]

I just got the digital version of the game. It took me 48 tries before I could beat the game on level 6 vs. England with Lightning. You need literally everything to go right.

[@SoloPlaythroughs]

Oh yeah - England 6 is an absolute beast for most spirits. Congrats on that win!!

Some double adversaries could be really interesting and maybe a natural progression from strength vs strength

[@SoloPlaythroughs]

Thanks for the recs, Aman. I’m considering a double adversary live playthrough for sometime in the next couple months. 🙂

[@amansparekh]

@@SoloPlaythroughs I’m looking at some double adversary stuff for the S tier spirits, because sometimes lvl 6 is too easy for them

[@SoloPlaythroughs]

Oh yeah. There are spirit matchups even at Level 6 I will generally avoid because they are too easy, now including a few from the Strength v Strength series. 🙂

[@amansparekh]

@@SoloPlaythroughs stone vs Habsburg (and lure vs Russia when your not overconfident)

[@SoloPlaythroughs]

Ha! Yep. And Trickster v Sweden. And Thunderspeaker and Many Minds v literally anyone! 🤣

[@cristiandelaplaza7813]

hi greg! can you show us how do yo fold all your spirit island things? a hug!

[@SoloPlaythroughs]

Sure thing - I'll try to remember in my next Spirit Island livestream, although you might want to check my Spirit Island playlist from last December, as I'm pretty sure I went through all of my storage after I got review copies of the Folded Space insert for Spirit Island. (And, yes, I still highly recommend those inserts!)

thanks greg! i will@@SoloPlaythroughs

[@joshb4613]

Ooof. Rough. You love punishment it seems :) I mean, once you go level 6, you never go back? Is that the idea?

[@SoloPlaythroughs]

Ha! Maybe… I’ll probably get back to 4 or 5 at some point. I still need to get a win with Shroud on the channel! 🤣

[@ragnar3434]

Sometimes I like to play this scenario with Shroud. This has yet to work out for me. Someday I'll figure out why.

[@ragnar3434]

Okay yeah, this scenario is cursed. Im changing the difficulty rating for myself until I figure out how it's supposed to be played.

[@SoloPlaythroughs]

Ha! Shroud could be fun here. I was also thinking of going with Starlight. 🙂 As for difficulty, I managed to beat this matchup after a couple more games so it’s doable. Just VERY swingy!!

[@ericvanness382]

How did the 3rd game go? Any better luck?

[@SoloPlaythroughs]

Ha! I won on the 4th or 5th which, counting the pre-filming videos, means it took me like 6 or 7 attempts to beat this one. But who’s counting!? 🙂

[@ericvanness382]

@@SoloPlaythroughs Way to stick with it! I am looking forward to seeing the aspects with Lightning - I haven't played with any of his yet.

[@SoloPlaythroughs]

Thanks! I'm generally pretty stubborn with these things. :) Meanwhile, I've only played with them a couple times but Lightning's aspects are pretty cool. I'm trying to discern the best way to feature all the aspects without committing to more playthroughs with low complexity spirits than I want. I'm toying with the idea of a few live 4-handed playthroughs just to go through the aspects a bit quicker...but that simultaneously feels crazy to me. For now, I'm just going to make sure I get through the scenarios.
