Just lost three more times.
I've added all the resistances I can so my guys are staying alive. Plus I still have two unused bloodstones and those help, but the goddess is still getting killed.
I really wanted to beat this game today, but I'm about ready to give up. The dragon will not get knocked down or anything else. Any effort to do so is just wasted AP.
BTW what item adds poison resistance? If there is anything I could use more of it's that, but I've never seen any poison essence.
