Blindness has no concentration, nothing is immune and up leveling it gives bonus target. The former is very useful because you drop a large control spell and keep controlling with blindness while concentrating your good spell Moreover there is no repeating save each turn to avoid it unlike things like hold dominate
agree: not needing concentration made this my most used level 2 spell next to misty step and hold person. The cc is good and using this to fish for crits for paladin smites, while having, for instance, haste up is just godly
Flaming sphere is an action to cast, bonus action to move or ram an enemy afterwards. Bonus action can be used on the same turn it’s cast. Can be useful for low level area denial or AOE damage if precisely placed in a bottle neck.
Flaming Blade is an amazing Spell!... On anyone but your Druid tho LOL. I pick it up for my Bard at level six and go to town on lesser enemies or finish off heavier ones that my frontline team have weakened
Yeah, there's one instance where Darkness is legitimately great, which is when you're a warlock with Devil's Sight (but I'm guessing this video predates the DLC that put warlocks in). It's a combo that's arguably better in Solasta than at a table. It's great fun to rain advantaged EBs onto unsuspecting enemies, but you may become unpopular with other players, whose characters are also now disadvantaged to hit anything. :P
Levitation is really good to use for your caster if you are facing melee only opponents, like most orcs, animals and vermin, oozes and Minotaurs and the like. And man, I dunno what 4th edition did to people's perception of invisibility, but like here it's really short-selling the power it grants on just pure reconnaissance. Invisibility lasting an hour is amazing for sending your rogue out and scanning the upcoming enemies and lay of the land and instead of just returning he can take the most comfortable position from where he can duck in and out of combat and snipe enemies and hide with cunning action. This really shortsells that utility.
THanks for the feedback - I agree that levitation does add some tactical advantage unless they hit you and you lose concentration and you fall. Invisibility is great for recon, but I just do not think it has a place in Solasta. Cheers!
Thx for the video, really awesome for a noob like me, I'm completely lost in this kind of game middle lvl difficult. Like tactical games, but D&D are absolutely different to xcom like games. Keep trying to improv and learn though.

Appreciate the feedback and clarification. This does make this a strong spell for sure. Cheers!

I do like Flaming Sphere and have used it a lot more often than Moonbeam since it is a bonus action to move. Cheers!
I personally find invisibility more useful at higher level usage, where you can make your whole party invisible, and thus begin a round with advantage
You can accomplish the same thing with group stealth. Pass without a trace added makes it even better. than upcasting invisibility. Cheers!
Fans of your lvl spell series, keep it up mate!
Thanks, will do! Cheers!
Calm emotions on opponents.
They don't get to save each turn
Very nice. Thanks for the tip! Cheers!
I use levitate with a archer. Very good, plenty of uses in Lost Valley DLC so cheese enemies with it.
That is a good idea I have not tried. Cheers!
Love those videos, very helpful!
I am so glad you like them! Cheers!
These videos are great!
Glad you like them! Cheers!

Haha, I love flame blade as well, but I cannot see wasting a Bards magical secrets on it. Cheers!

Thanks for the post. Originally the Devil Sight Darkness was not working. Glad they got it figured out. Cheers!
