The Baron is by far the easiest of the bosses ime. Almost any gimmick works against him unless you have an awful curse, he just produces so much mama for you. Vulnerable is a particularly easy one.

I'm guessing getting the thimble on the bottom hero would also prevent mana burn damage as it prevents all damage during your turn.

So many bones. Some combinations seem unwinnable. And it was just Hard!

Unless tann changed it, the floor difficulty (as in, how the game decides which combination of enemies to spawn) is constant between all difficulties and probably modes. It's just the interaction of curses and blessings that influences the difficulty

For Hexia you want any of:
Chronos/Weaver (dodge)
Thimble (immunity)
Boots of Speed/Cloak (item based dodge, although Cloak isn't ideal)
Warlock (just nuke her with Blaze)
Valkyrie (Undying)
Forsaken (Bind/resurrect)
Witch (1 mana to 2 healing means you can top up the blue if you have tons of mana)
Or just sufficient offense and defense from your other guys that you can beat her down. Remember ranged sides don't trigger mirror.
e: I saw you wanted an all blue team - above still mostly applies, I tend to like doing 4 blue and 1 red, still all the mana spam, but some utility.

Another one who hasn't played Night of the Full Moon? Not going to poo poo talk Tann in his own thread (much), but that game is amazing. It started out as a Chinese knockoff of Dream Quest, but has since added an insane amount of content including what amounts to two complete additional games.

Yeah, it's just that summons are particularly prone to getting out of control with any amount of dice augmentation and with pristine it meant I couldn't vaporize anyone on turn one because it meant ridiculous things like a 4 imp summoning and 8 pain on my damage dealer next turn.
And the next turn the 2 imps and 2 bones that spawned anyway have to be de-Pristined because an imp got a summon 2 bones dice and oh god it hurt.

He absolutely murdered me that time I said "There's no way a random curse could be worse than these two options" and the game put a cool down on Burst.

I submitted a bug report last night. But this has more space for me to write what happened. Then the bug report did. I was playing blursed because it's the best game mode. And I was coming up on the Three sisters and I had to pick an item. I didn't like either the items, so I did random and an item popped up for me accept. My phone went to screensaver mode because I was doing something else at the time. And I double tapped to bring the screen back up and it showed a different item then it had given me or was even in the two options. So I thought "hey that's neat. I'll keep doing this until it gives me an item I want." So let my screen go into screensaver mode. Tap the screen and it came back the same item. Tried it again. Did the same thing so oh well can't exploit that. So I click accept on the item. And continue in the screen scrolls over to the three sisters and no dice roll. I tried closing it and opening it. Same screen. I shut my phone down. Started up the game. Clicked on continue stage 8 or whatever, scrolls over to the girls. I hit continue. No dice roll, just the screen with me and them sitting there in the three menu options at the top. I started blursed over and it seems to be working fine.

Literally my only hard win so far. Also adding Era to all the wizards other sides meant my wizard was doing like 10damage sword attacks on Hexia and the Demons they summon. Everyone else was playing defensive and killing imps/bones.

Also whats the difference between Blursed and Cursed? I'm doing my first cursed run now.

Cursed starts you off with a curse, adds another curse after each boss, and gives you a blessing after every loop.

Blursed starts you off with blessings instead but is otherwise the same. Accumulating multiple blessings is a big part of the fun of the mode, so getting a head start on that is why I like it.

"I'm sick and tired of reading these posts!"

Overwhelmingly excited to pair this with urn. Enduring is one of the most fun keywords but you just don't see it very often.

There are a lot of keywords that feel pretty rare -- I don't think echo or invigorate exist outside of the level 9/10 items that grant them.

Has anyone gotten good use out of Lich's tome? The downside seems brutal and there's no way to get around it.

I had some fun pairing it with Iron Heart; it's not a combo I want to carry through to the final boss, but I effectively tripled a character's sides in exchange for only acting (and summoning a bones) every other turn.

Huh, I thought the in-game indicator was telling me I was up-to-date. I'll double check, thanks

edit: Yeah, the button was telling me I was on 2.0 and up to date, but I just redownloaded from itch and now I see a language button that didn't appear before so it appears I didn't have the latest version

I don't want to spend too much time in the thread yet as I start discovering stuff on my own, but I downloaded the demo for this and Marvel Snap two days ago, and last night I deleted Snap and bought this.

This is EXACTLY the kind of game I think we all hoped mobile gaming would grow into back in the early days, instead of what it eventually became. Happy to support designers doing this kind of work

a storm is coming...

I just got the most disgusting combo. The item that makes top and bottom charged but single use, the item that duplicates top onto other heroes and the artificer, who has a base 4 mana gain single use side as his top and bottom. Plus I had the blessings that allowed me to start at 3 mana.

Over a hundred mana. Basically an absolute insta win side except against Hexia and hell even against her I'm pretty sure the party had enough total HP to Burst through her before they died.

If you get a rampage side with at least 4 damage you can slowly kill anything in one turn by hitting the bones that spawn over and over again.

Cruel always works with shields and heals on party members under half hp. There's a tier 6 item that gives you cruel on two sides which is great on certain grey/red heroes.

Alright it's another unfair win! This brings my win rate up to a respectable 10%! :v:

For curses, I really like Monster Left +5. It's a fun curse where it usually does absolutely nothing but if enough monsters roll the left side it can completely brick your run; whenever I got unlucky I was typically able to tank the damage or kill the offending monster, so it turned out alright. Mortal+ is practically free, if you're not completely busted you rarely ever hit it, and Bottom Poison is easy enough to deal with (though it did make me slam pick a monk just for the cleanse).

For heroes, this ended up being a really good set. Everything felt like it combo'd into each other: the wax seal on Sharpshooter meant he would deal 5 damage, which would let the Chronos get 5 mana with Echo, which gave the Poet's charged side +5, which means he can grant 7 damage to the Curator (and himself, incidentally) for his steel side. Admittedly a complicated combo that I only got off once, but all the individual pieces are strong enough that I still had good turns anyway. The Forsaken wasn't really a part of that combo but is an absolutely phenomenal healer, letting me tank many attacks I wouldn't be able to otherwise (including when the Dragon rolled a 10 damage fireball).

Oh and uh, Burning Halo is nice. Usually wasn't much but had one fight where I managed to get 3 saves with the Poet in one turn and completely wiped out all the snipers I was facing.

Ebola Dog

Managed to beat unfair with 5x blue for the achievement. Took 10 tries before I managed it. Went with the +1 to enemy sides on first turn, last hp has to be removed individually and cannot reroll more than 2 dice at a time curses.

Hard work but at the end I had two artificers, one with triple shuriken which meant as long as I used a side from the other I got double pips. That and on a sorcerer I the item that gives two mana sides to the two right sides and the item that gives all mana sides era.

Of course I got Hexia as the boss and didn't have many ways to avoid the mana burn but just about got through their hp before all my heroes died.

Either way I don't think I'll be doing unfair again for a while!
