Don't you lose slaying bonus as soon as you switch songs though and with woven themes only being 50% now you'd need Lorien as primary song for sure so your slaying bonus is not going to be that great.

The most attacks you can get in a round is probably four, 2 for rapid attack, one for two weapon fighting and one of opportunist, zone of control or riposte (depending on cruel blow or Morgoth's attack). However subtlety may well win out over rapid attack - particularly to make the most of an assassination. I know this is from the early days, but this post throne room smith managed 209 damage from a 20d17 roll against one sleeping foe using subtlety. Subsequent blows would be more like 10d17, so you'd need to get very lucky to break 500 with three attacks.

This character killed V in 7 rounds which I think is my best - obviously that could be bettered if it hasn't already (I'm not going to check all the dumps!).

Of course the other alternative is simply to boost SoS as high as possible and forget trying to assassinate altogether. This screenshot shows a SoS bonus of +48 which while not as good as an assassination will more than make up for it on subsequent blows.

I think the key here would be to have finished raging or turn off whirlwind before engaging Morgoth - from past experience rapid attack doesn't hit who you'd expect (it it is working at all) when hitting everything around you.

Ok, I've followed this and after more hours than I should have been spending on it, I have Sil 1.3 seemingly working on my phone.

The first thing I notice is that unaware monsters are not highlighted. Was that the case with previous versions of Sil on Android?

Can I ask how you did it? I've been fighting with the angdroid setup all day and I haven't managed to produce a functional apk at the end. (I have an APK but not one that actually seems to run on my phone...)

EDIT: Don't worry, I worked out how to get things building.
