I don't know if you alreay heard this Tann but you got kind of namechecked by Justin Ma on Soren Johnson's Designer Notes podcast. The 'Unfair' difficulty in the new Into the Breach addon is named after the Slice & Dice difficulty (and he loves the game!)

This game is just too addicting. The dopamine really flows when you realize that you can pick an item up to grab a crazy combo. My last run was my team getting as much mana as possible with a duplicating 2 mana on everyone with x2 chain and then spamming the "deal 3 damage to top and bottom monsters" until everything died. Which worked great until my last boss was Hexia. I somehow got it down to just Hexia and my mage. My mage cast a spell doing the 2 damage to kill her, and then he got mana burned to death. On the bright side, still seems to have counted as a win for me so that was a crazy way to end a run.

Am I correct that a boosted growth side now keeps it's new extra high value?

lost my 16 shortcut-normal streak by missing 33% odds with 9 consecutive rolls (~3% odds?). bound to happen eventually, but cartoon steam is still shooting out of my ears, and i'm firing my six-shooters into the air at this injustice

Do 11+ level items only spawn for the various loop modes? I unlocked a t12 item and no idea how you're supposed to actually see it. I was also very sad when I rolled a t10 item and got egg basket. Quite a niche pick.

You can get them on easy with a +item quality blessing. There are also anvil events where you can combine items into a random higher level one. Late game that can be a t13 item or such.

really though i think it's just a matter of playing more until you get comfortable with the enemy types and have learned which heroes/items suck (guardian) so you can avoid them. and a fair bit of luck i honestly cant believe guardian made it through to 2.0 unchanged. he's so bad

Aim bigger with your first roll. Play conservatively with your second (last) roll.

BitBasher posted:I picked this up and love it, but I suck bad at it. In a dozen easy playthroughs I have made it to the final boss once. Any basic tips? Number one tip: use the hell out of undo. If you're not sure how a turn will go, BEFORE burning your last reroll, dick around and try assigning some dice. Figure out which dice you like and which ones aren't necessary to your plan and could be re-rolled. Only suckers remember everything; let the game remember for you. Number two tip: six is a pretty small number! And most dice have an X on the right anyhow! Before rerolling, look at every face on the die and articulate which faces you think would be better and which would be worse. It's easy to go zombie mode and reroll a die that's not especially good, missing that nothing else would actually be better right now. Cleanse is mostly available on Red and Gray heroes and making sure you have access to it for the back half of a run is quite important. Sometimes you pass a good Red or Gray hero because you've already picked the other one and they don't have Cleanse. I'm a huge Fey fanboy but I'll sometimes pass her if I've already chosen a tier 2 Gray without cleanse. Your items trigger in order: slot 1, then slot 2. You can use this to make busted combos. If you're mostly dying later in the game, you're probably not noticing busted poo poo that you can do. Maybe take a screenshot around floor 15 and we'll tell you how we'd put on your items. It's important to make a reasonable effort to keep heroes alive so you get to roll their dice. However, when multiple enemies target a hero with very low health, it's sometimes good to think of that low hp hero as a "taunt"; if three dice are marking the hero and only one of them is needed to kill, it's like they're negating two dice for a turn, and getting to ignore those dice can be a big enough advantage to win. Coming back with half health is not actually that terrible! Blue heroes are not necessarily the "strongest" of the colors, but as a new player, you should pretend that they 100% are, because making your top drafting/item choice/playing priority "How do I use my blue spell most optimally?" is correct as a rule a lot more than it isn't. (This is why Bolt is the best blessing!)

Mana is just so potent that maximizing your ability to use it effectively is going to get you far. Love this game. Kind of bummed all my save data for erased when it updated. Not sure what that was about.

Another tip is don't try to overshield or overheal. Barring specific situations, I'd the hero is surviving that's enough and means everyone else (including that hero on the next turn!) can deal damage. the best defence is all the enemies being dead since that recovers everyone's hp

Not spending mana unless it can be used to kill something or save a hero on that turn is a good strategy as well.

The only things I can think of to add are: - Try resetting the tutorial to remind yourself and check if there's some important thing you missed or forgot. - It sounds like easy is the perfect difficulty for you! If you get a lot better at the game and can almost win on hard, it doesn't become a much different/better game.

Blursed mode is my absolute favorite new mode. All the joy of cursed, but just that little bit of blessing makes all the difference, shifting the ratio of headbanging to enjoyable runs. High score of 120 (Curse you, Hexia) compared to barely getting 60 in Cursed mode in the previous version. One piece of advise: Just as rerolling an okay side to try for a great side and ending up with a blank or useless side is a newbie trap, so too is over focusing item choices on buffing your best sides. Items that replace all blank sides or fill in right sides are very valuable, because if a dice has no bad sides, than you can reroll that dice reaching for a great result. Powdered Mana (replace blank sides with +1 mana) is nearly an autopick for me. It opens up class choices, since a class with a lot of blank sides and a few good sides suddenly has a lot of okay sides and a few good sides. Evoker, for instance, goes from Great, good, okay, bad x3 to Great, good, okay x4. And that difference changes evoker from "Got a 1 mana side, good enough" to "Reroll until I see 2 or 3". And since most classes have at least one blank side, its not unusual for Powdered Mana to see use in fight 20, too. Castor Root barely fits this, but I would be lying if I said I had never gotten use out of a minor heal in a tight fight. Still better than a blank.

Won a hard fight by picking exactly the opposite of what I would normally pick on a run. Figured that trying out all sorts of crazy poo poo might work. Twins with sushi and the l3 blue guy with all cantrip and the +1 to all side summon bone thing and a +1 reroll all sides must be rolled thing and holy poo poo did I have a lot of mana. Blew through Hexia by just murdering my side with burst. Not a single mob or good guy left alive at the end of the game.

I think I may have run into a weird math bug. Unless, I missed something this Charged side should be doing 17 damage (16+1) but instead it deals 15 (16-1?). Paste is here: `{c:[1322c,1311c,1825c,1383c,1625,18Z2,1764,1363,306,1422,1522,302,302,2052,2160,2273,4,1312c,1324c,18Z2,2031,2151,22Z2,4],d:{l:{b:true,m:[Dragon,Caw,Archer]},m:[Treasure-seeker,Fizzing,Mortal,Revive 3 hp,Horde,Sandstorm],n:19,p:{h:[Juggler~D~Sickle~Clay,Curator~Poseidon's Charm~Collar,Twin~Longsword~Droopy Hat,Tw1n~D,Witch~Ambrosia,Ace~Overflowing Chalice~Flickering Blade]}},p:[10],s:112444302,v:201r}`

Oooh, my bad, I completely forgot I had it. Honestly you may want to consider removing just the first level or two or making them harsher, limiting characters to 15 pips seems to be completely ignorable (which is why I forgot I had it in the first place). Otherwise I have to say the bigger variety of curses and blessings in this version is great. As mentioned upthread Blursed in particular is a blast.

I don't have a paste or a screenshot, but I had a character that had all ones, I put on the item that gives everything plus one on the first turn, and The item that gives plus one to any side that is even. My thought would be it would get plus two the first turn, giving all sides plus three. But that didn't happen. I had the items in the correct order and I even tried swapping them just in case. But no go.

Finally got an Unfair win - so lucky to go into Sniper when my curse picks were Non-Boss Bones and Thorn, plus Broken Spirit. Ended on Hexia which ended up being so convenient for me with the Sniper dodging Pain Mirror.  Got some lucky rolls and stacked a massive amount of poison and damage on Hexia turn 1 and then clutched it out after they went down.
