With all these huge game releases coming out all at once, I haven't had time to actually make a new update. However I am providing the one video I promised a while back since the main Vulf video was a bit of a hot mess

Episode 50-B: Brigand Vulf Guide



This is why we have separate cutscene vids on Iron Chitlin's channel. I should get to updating the OP with that.

I used a party of the MAA, Graverobber, Jester and Vestal. The final fight is a bit slower, but I was able to keep my stress levels very low with liberal use of stress healing. Also, the Jester's bleed works very well on Vvulf. The Graverobber dodges the majority of attacks thrown at her, and she'll shred Vvulf with daggers. After that it is just mop up.

I fundamentally disagree that selfish is a mediocre affliction - it is the worst affliction after abusive. You are right that its combat problems aren't that bad. But Selfish effectively makes the hero behave as if they have kleptomania. Selfish heroes will activate curios on their own and keep the loot for themselves. It is the most dangerous trait in terms of loot.

I'd be willing to say the Weald champion enemy would be the most dangerous one in the game if she ever spawned with a corpse already on the field, but she doesn't, so she isn't that bad.

Talks about ranged attackers who can use the Ancestor's Pistol - doesn't mention Highwayman, the only gun-wielding adventurer with a slew of ranged skills. :arghfist::(

(At least if you discount the Musketeer - a cool-looking Arbalest reskin for kickstarter backers.)

Thanks for appreciating our contributions, though. :)

The addition of all these new "uncommon" enemies that, either functionally or thematically emulate things your party members can do, makes me wonder how it would be possible to balance an "uncommon" enemy that had an attack that could activate Riposte. Having an enemy that could outright attack multiple times a round sounds pretty dangerous, even if it had relatively low attack power.

that would make bleed/blight/stun attacks even more useful than they already are and make the plague doctor a must-have for whatever area the monster's in.

New Update - Episode 53: The Gibbering Prophet

Getting the local occultist boys together for one last run of our favorite boss. Nothing really changes much in his champion mode form, however he's a lot more aggressive with the stunning which could cause problems.

New Update - Episode 54: The Wizened Hag

Its a convent of hags today as we take on the Wizened Hag and the Hateful Virago. This new champion is particularly devastating with how it can reduce your ACC with its debuff and comes with ~50 DODGE, making her a slippery target to hit. The worst bit comes from her free action which allows her to consume a corpse to get a ~35HP debuff that prevents healing entirely. Once you know what to do however, its easy to deal with her in due fashion despite the difficulty of hitting it.

That depends on how cunning you can be and how much of a filthy lucker you are. :v: I'd say it was worth grabbing if you see it on sale. It's one of those games where a match takes about an hour, so it's not for people without much free time.

Wario would be the bounty hunter.

Luigi is the caretaker.

A boss fight would be Petey Piranha in the Weald. He swallows a character and regains health.

If you kill the Shrieker, does it at least stop future Shrieker events from happening? Or is there no benefit to targeting it whatsoever?

All you need to do technically is survive the fight. They don't tell you this at all though, and they don't tell you about the nest holding Puzzling Trapeozehedrons. The only reason you'd kill the bird is because you don't want to take 50+ stress damage to everyone, but then most likely you would be fore-fitting the cash prize and you don't get a Shrieker Part out of it, which is the worst crime imo.

The fight is insanely deceptive, and I really don't like that aspect.

It's 50 stress at the end of the fight. So it doesn't really matter. you can just put them in a building and de-stress them.
