Pick the right daily. I got it by killing both Fel and Seraph before the combat phase, so yeah that is valuable. Don't think it has to be literally the first turn though.

This is on gamepass now for people such as myself who hadn't tried it yet. I think I might love it. It seems way easier than StS, in part because of how easy it is to thin your deck (which is very cool imo). It took me a couple of runs to get going but then I went 3 in a row with stygia/awoken (which was basically 100% stygia), awoken/hellbois, hellbois/awoken. It will be a while until I unlock the other 2 it seems. I'm glad higher covenant is now doing things other than polluting my deck.

The new faction is pretty interesting, I like the new mechanics. It adds another layer of strategy to playing cards. The starting boss is pretty good with the "+X attack for every <infused shard thingy>" path, plays really well with either multiattack or swarms of little creatures.

So the monster train dlc is live on the beta branch. I played a quick 1 cov to get to him, and this guy doesn't mess around. I'm kind of sad that his abilities negate certain styles. the guy covers all three floors, and attacks them every turn with sweep. In addition, every time a debuff does damage to him he clears it. I brought tethys with a frostbite deck, and that went as well as could be expected. He seems heavily biased towards stacking rows with big beefy physical damage dealers.

Yeah, agreed. He doesn't sweep every floor; he sweeps the top floor, double-hits the center floor, and tramples the bottom floor. Bottom is safest from the boss, but you have less time to react to some of the TRULY nasty enemies. I usually set up on the center. That said, I haven't managed to beat him yet. Wiping all debuffs is really dumb because, as you say, it makes it pretty close to impossible for certain champions to win.

Yikes. So does it look like those are just static attributes, or something that might change run to run in release, like the regular bosses? I'll probably dive back in to the game once this comes out proper

Even more goddamn insane is the alt-champ for the new clan. One of their path trees begins with "Return one consumed spell to hand after combat" and ends with "Has 100 attack, return 2 Consumed spells to hand after combat." I expect this to get nerfed into the ground because effectively getting two free Endless versions of Consumed spells without wasting a spell slot (or allowing the +20 MP + Consume thing to be more insane) leads to some hilarious combinations. I did a run where I was just tossing out god-nukes every turn to the point I didn't bother recruiting more than two monsters because combat never actually involved anything *attacking*

Wurmkin also have ways to give spells the consume keyword on the fly. I haven't tried that version of the alt champion yet. I did finally beat the superboss with Wurmkin/Horned, with the primary champion giving the whole room +20 attack per charged echo. With a sufficient density of infused spells, you can regularly buff the room to +160-200 or more attack over what they already have, so any multiattacker or horde of small units (like, say, Welder Imps buffing the champion's armor...) let you really chew through enemies fast. EDIT: That said, Reap is more like a fixed version of Frostbite than anything else. It has a similar function but it only triggers once per combat instead of once per combat round, making it way less useful versus bosses in Relentless mode. It's easier to apply, though, and doesn't decay, so it's great for the three main bosses as long as you can keep your floors stocked with charged echoes.

I did a cr1 run and beat the secret boss with a pretty garbage wyrm/horn deck on my first try, but it wouldn't have held up at higher levels. Not being able to directly buff the creatures that hatch seems real rough, though stealing their effects for other clans units seems quite strong.

I enjoyed playing around with the wormkin but there is a lot going on with them, between reap, hatching, etch, the crystal mechanic. Fun though. Thought the alt hero was strong but when I tried the hatching varient regretted levelling them up as the egg was switched out for a giant egg that took up more floor space and had 12 shell which was more than I was expecting. Up til that point though if you could get the eggs rolling (as it were) you could have a giant party floor fairly easily.

All the egg cards are very good, except the alt champion. Any changes you make to the egg is carried over to whatever hatches out of it. That includes upgrades, combinations (the new shove a creature into another creature mechanic) and statistical buffs in a level (hp/atk) but not status effects like stealth, rage, or sap. The alt champion can't use unit upgrades or combinations, so it's trash. If you want to faceroll, do a run with the +5/10/20 atk per echo primary champion and a multiattack version of the egg that spits out two bog flies. Then duplicate the egg if you can. 4 flies with multiattack and hundreds of extra attack from the champion will annihilate anything.

Liking the worm spell to just drop 666 damage on someone (almost) no questions asked. Give that sucker pierce from a temple, the means to inflict magic weakness and/or a way to draw it regularly and you can just delete problem enemies with impunity. Another fun thing: Keeper of echoes has some synergy with Retch; Keeper of echoes buffs the morsels and the morsels keep the extra attack/hp when Retched. Buff Morsels, Morscles if you will, can be helpful for squeezing extra damage in wherever you need em; but even with a pile of artifacts it's more a novel way to ensure morsels live long enough to be eaten than anything else.

I forget how I got it, but there's a way to give Strike: Melee Weakness 1 to your troops now. That was fun to put on a multi-attacker.

Would still mean the second (and subsequent) hits are doing double damage, and the last hit leaves it still with a melee weakness (assuming it didnt die). I see the use case. Would also be good on a sweeper, but depending on your faction multi-hit can be easier to get than sweep.

ImpAtom posted:Even more goddamn insane is the alt-champ for the new clan. There is also the artifact that creates a copy of the first Consume card you play each round. Cancelling the downside of Consume is good, but the fact that it puts the copy in your hand felt over-the-top. I beat the Divine once on Cov25 out of many tries. 3 Bounty Stalkers with 150 attack, Multistrike 2, Quick, and Holdover Remold barely got there. I am concerned that it feels like he hard counters a ton of things. Purify vs. Frostbite/Reap is obvious, but not having a relentless stage probably rules out Spikes and any Action/Resolve-oriented strategy.

I wasn't playing Awoken or Stygian, so I didn't really have easy access to a sweepers. And yes, the first hit makes the second hit deal double, and the second hit makes the follow-up attack from the next troop deal double damage.

Started playing this again. I really need to start paying attention to the Seraph preview and building my deck around it because I cannot stress how absolutely demoralizing it is when your deck starts plowing through the last few battles and then gets completely loving wrecked on the final level On a related note, boy, I really don't like Seraph the Patient

Patient is easily the hardest variant of Seraph IMO, so don't feel bad about having a hard time with him.

Patient is the hardest Seraph in the sense that it counters the things that largely work against the other three variants and is in turn weak to stuff that normally doesn't work. Simplest example is that since he deals his damage with a single strike, damage shield goes a long way if you can stack it. That and morsels not triggering his Rally effect so you can plop them in front to eat a hit if needed makes Umbra very suited to deal with him. He also has weak waves to balance the fact that he's attacking every turn, so crowd control is easier.

A bit late (the open beta trial ended) but I must say beating that new guy with a shadoweater+multiple shroud spikes (one of the consume hacks thanks to Wurmkin, forgot which version of the champ)+morselmaker+morselmaster+"gorge occurs a second time" relic was pretty satisfying...on Covenant 1. Thinking "Hey, let's ramp back up to 25"
