Cant wish for Grigori, aka lord of civilization?

[Xietor]

Mandaha is good, but in my current mp game, i went with a traditional seraph. Main foe was shin, who has demons/undead/darkvision, and I am playing pythium who does not have many units with darkvision.

Given the chances are slim that shinuyama can kill a seraph in a magic duel, i went with the seraph. But just to be safe i empowered the seraph.

Actually, it's more of RP issue. Freeing a Grigori is much cooler than just wishing for Seraph, even if Seraph is a stronger SC chassis.
Also, some diversity wouldnt hurt. Having more options is fun.

Except that you can only "free" a Grigori through massive blood offering. And the only ones with such knowledge, are the giants of the Valley of Hinnom.

Your astral pearls are useless here!
