Sil-Q, heavy melee, just starting out. Amateur play - only one vanilla Sil win under belt, though a Morgoth kill.
I like Rout and Song of Challenge. Rout is the perfect archery utility for a heavy Noldor tank. Song of Challenge is also neat utility. Can't wait to really see it in action with Orc Archers and such. Also gives me an early game use for my Voice, another mark in favor of this variant.

Aaaaaand....I get cornered by two Orc uniques. Was trying to play safe by going back a floor (got ahead of min depth by quite a bit), and this happens.

Whelp, died.
I've actually scummed (copying save file) to figure out what I should do in this situation. Turns out, I nearly had it. Just should've gone north (closer to staircase) and scummed the AI into a tunnel fight. After killing two orc uniques, make a mad dash to staircase.
I don't have the fortitude to reset, so I'm going to keep playing the scummed save that won the fight. I won't, however, post it on this ladder. I'll just post more comments here / on the forum if I think they're relevant to Sil-Q feedback.

Playing my scummed & continued game:
Song of Challenge is really, really good. Even at 500' - 600', I've been able to manipulate packs / archers of foes off of a simple two Song + three Grace alone. Annoying Easterling Warrior trios or Orc Captain packs are somewhat trivialized with this. Also controls Orc Archers as well (Easterling Archers, not quite as well). Pretty sure it'll work well on felines, seeing as how they have low will. Manipulates enemies around a unique as well, though I haven't tried that on the entourages around an Easterling Unique or a Balrog.
It's strong & makes my guy stronger, yeah, but I feel like I'm cheating. With very little song investment, I'm basically ignoring the well-crafted pack AI game. Easily manipulating dumb orcs or low will felines is one thing. Easily manipulating Easterlings, or the pack around a leader (captain, unique, etc)? Feels like it should require more song investment for that to actually work.
Which...makes me question the design decision of a song that basically allows you to ignore such a well-crafted part of the game. I like the idea of a crowd control song, as well as a use of your Voice for brawler archetypes. Problem is that Challenges feels a little too good and a little too cheating; Slaying was b0rked for the Throne Room whilst being OKish elsewhere.

Other than that, Rout is great. Nice utility for a brawler looking to finish off a fleeing foe. Wouldn't take it on an archer; unnecessary with enough Archery skill, plus it would slow down obtainment of other Archery skills. Does make it such that you don't need Sprinting or AI / positioning manipulation to finish off fleeing foes, but I don't think Rout is cheating the game like Song of Challenge is.
Just obtained new Defiance. Probably should've grabbed it earlier with the Spear I saw earlier. Oh well.

It's tricky making Songs that people will take at all. Some people still tell me they'd never take Song of Challenge because they find it easy enough to manipulate the AI without it. Others love it. I've had more feedback from the "not worth it to me" camp than the "really good" camp.
It may depend on your play style. If it's filling a niche that was causing you problems, it probably feels amazing. People who feel they had that part of the game figured out may be more reluctant to invest.
It does weaken a bit late game - while it still makes foes aggressive, higher will enemies may take time out to breathe fire or sing or do other non-combat things; resisting the pull to close in on you at higher wills is much more effective and so to some extent this is more of an early-game skill.
Song of Elbereth can also be really quite strong early on, but it doesn't see nearly as much use as I'd expect.

I'm still sitting on ~'650 on my scummed game, staring down a Creeping Horror. Hate those things & their corroding my equipment so much that I haven't touched the game in a month or two. >_>
Huh, so I'm one of the few that likes it. Interesting. I'm interested in why it is that they find it underwhelming. My initial guess is that veterans of the game have all ready hammered out elegant solutions to pack & archer AI, so they didn't really care for cheesing the AI. Whereas, I'm still a newbie learning the tricks of the trade, so I'm happy to make a small investment that allows me to completely ignore troublesome AI. Which, if that's true....iunno. I'd have to be a veteran at the game to give better feedback.
I can only say that it's allowed me to ignore substantial mid-game threats, especially the higher orc packs and Easterling Warriors. Lategame, eh. IIRC, after Cats, the only packs remaining are Werewolves and the entourages around a few uniques. Last few times I've gotten that far, I've been strong enough that I haven't felt the need for something like Song of Challenges. So, iunno, maybe Challenges could still require a tad more investment to control mid-game threats? (It struggles to control Easterling Archers, so there's that).
Hello, seraph, good to see you. Don't expect consistent Sil play from me: I've been sucked into Desktop Dungeons. : p
