Arzaac posted:I don't know, a hero being weak to weaken hasn't really impacted my decision making much because the solution to weaken enemies usually ends up being kill them quickly, rather than counterpick for them. There is "weak to weaken" and then there is "Turns them into the t2 version with 1 more HP" Like, i've used them. I hated it the whole time. The only way they're even somewhat reliable is if you get the combo items that add mana gain to blank sides and the one that sets all mana sides to 2. There's enough 2 pip die faces on others that you can more often get your double or triple activated with that.

Ace really is just bad bc even in a perfect 3-pip team setup, you get 9 mana to use on... Draw? He should have a more impactful spell at the very least if setting him up for big mana turns is gonna stay his gimmick

Funnily enough, that makes me want to mess with Ace more! Boost 3 is insane. I think I get too intimidated by the side matching mechanic instead of leaning into it. Pair of Kings and Cheater's Sleeves are always a riot "Never odd me the tells," my scoundrel says as they strap on a knife bag and cheater sleeves, moments before the bag explodes, killing them and a nearby wolf.

Boost 3 is good but again it requires a lot of setup and it's the only thing that hero is doing that turn. And like... how often do you have two other 3-pip sides and then also a side you really want to give boost 3 to? I guess you can do all of that to give, like, yellow a good cleave somewhere. I dunno

Might just be me but I prefer Ace to Wizard, I know a lot of people like Wizard but I've never found them that great. Most of the time I don't have the right items to make Wizard good, and they just seem weak by default. Whenever I've pick Wizard they've been meh at best, if not outright bad for my run whereas Ace has done better for me.

Ace is one of my favourite blues because there are so many items that make it amazing. Eucalyptus, for example, will trigger the triple side all by itself.

End of Round 1 of a new Blursed run. This was legitimately one of the most fun teams I've ever had. Smacking the Dragon with this was so satisfying.  Edit: Round 2 did not go well. New Leaf fucked around with this message at 17:39 on Nov 17, 2022 |

I don't remember what Eucalyptus does. This brings up a common question I have though. Is there a list of items on the internet somewhere? The wiki that google shows is really bare bones, and searching through the almanac is difficult when you only know the name and not the tier. Also, what tier is Soul Link? I've had that in my list of available achievements forever, but I never see it available.

Just discovered this game had a thread and that it's goon-made. I bought it after my first demo run, played a ton of it for like a week, and it's still currently my favorite way to fiddle with my phone in lines. Thanks and awesome work, Tann!

Beat item mode for the first time. The combo of the cape which copies your left side, and the gloves which copy your middle side, and the seal which gives a bonus for dupes meant that my red hero had six identicial +6 heal+shield+mana sides

lol got this list of blessings/curses 6 points: -15) Edge death (kill 2 heroes) 7) bone math 6) hero cleanse 6) monster blank 4) greased dice 4) potential 4) youth made the 'must take a total of 6 blessing points' thing extra annoying, since it means that the only possible options are hero cleanse / monster blank or edge death+bone math+ two of the 4 pointers less flexible than the 'pick 1 blessing' option

Yeah, I wonder if there's something where you you can start with less than the maximum amount of blessing points by doing the following UI flow: going over the blessing point maximum, then deselecting one blessing so you're under the maximum. I think this communicates that they deliberately want to start with less than all the points allotted to them.

Why is the most brutal curse in the game, Hero Rite, disguised as a blessing?

I think it's probably just in general hard to quantify hero rite, because that extra bonus can be legitimately really powerful in the hands of some heroes. You start getting into heroes who can do 5 damage to all enemies, or 5 damage + 5 mana or what have you. It's that weird situation where it can legitimately be both a curse and a blessing. ...I think I'd lean towards it being a tweak if anything, because those tend to be effects with huge tradeoffs.

Ace is really powerful if you've picked up any item spells like Curse or Beam or whatever. Not the strongest unless you pick up a bunch of synergistic items as well but it can work out.

Pain of Mind posted:To get below 35 I did it on easy, go after a blessing that makes it easier to 1 turn rounds (I think I had the one that starts you with 4 mana on turn 1), hope you get decent item and hero combinations, and go full dps. I won exactly on 35. I finally got...40 turns with fizzing (2 mana on turn one), essence thief (+1 mana when an enemy dies) and the "monster growth" curse to balance things out. (Also since easy requires exactly 6 blessing points, I also took a Lich's tome which seems usually bad and I never used it). Maybe I could've got 38 turns with perfect play, but I feel like my sequence of heroes and item choices through the run couldn't get me to 35, so there's definitely some luck involved.

I could maybe see it working as a tweak, but as is you get it with a bunch of level 1 heroes with basic sides. If you already had a Duelist or a Wanderer it might be an interesting risk/reward but there are very, very few basic hero sides worth getting +5 at the cost of the rest of your turn. And even with high-tier heroes a single Slate might ruin your day.

Ok Raid mode is hilarious. Getting Essence Capture and Essence Thief and just spamming Burn and Scald all day while both teams died in droves was hysterical. Killed the second dragon by having my last surviving hero, a Fiend, explode both of them with Burn

And even with high-tier heroes a single Slate might ruin your day. I think early game would be mostly fine just because you can deal 6+ damage with a single die. You only need to beat a single level to get a tier 2 hero, and then there are a pretty large number of tier 2 heroes who can interact positively with rite. If you pick up any side replacement items you can get around rite as well. ...granted yeah, unless you get lucky you're probably dying at a boss level. If nothing else I imagine the sisters would be quite hard. I don't know the right cost for it but it should probably be a curse.

At an absolute minimum I think you'd have to rite managain faces and manage your mana really carefully. You can do a lot with Burst and hero spells as long as your mana generating heroes don't all eat poo poo.

Hero Rite was an absolute blast. It does lose its edge a bit since, like all "hero X" abilities, you can replace it with item sides to give you more flexibility in a pinch. Like someone said though, my run ended when I had to fight two Slates at once.

Darn, permanently killing a party member doesn't give you the mana from essence capture. It should, if nothing else, give you the mana for level 1.

I've never seen Hero Rite, but I have put Rite onto a cantrip face before and you can use that die - and that die only - repeatedly. With the right gear you can probably generate infinite mana.

Been mostly tinkering around with blursed, and I think I would (loosely) rank my favorite blessing to take as: Treasure Seeker Shrink Bolt Spell Leyline Shiny Save Spell Reroll Greased Dice Jeweled Chalice Fizzing Boss Smash Turn 3 Heal Mostly based on how many curses they mitigate, while also being good stand alone. A question I just through of - can you get blessings you pass on later, or if there are 3 good blessings at the start does that lock you out of whichever one you do not take?

Bolt is still my #1 pickup because it lets you take every Burst related curse AND dramatically increases the value of mana independent of your blue hero. But Preparation (all heroes shield 2 turn 1) is also a great one. Not only does it help enable alpha striking and drastically lowers the chance of a bad beat giving a T1 hero kill, but it makes Steel sides way stronger and more consistent as well as lowering the risk of Pain.

well, managed 32-turns on easy classic. Essence thief / essence capture / boss smash for blessings, sandstorm+++ for curses (damage at the end of the second turn doesn't matter if you win first) biggest luck was avoiding slates, basalt, and the slime queen - there just isn't enough DPS to be able to beat them

Generated Blursed mode, you say?? e: TIL that the Burning Halo's "damage all enemies on Rescue" effect triggers retaliatory damage similar to Repel dice, which means that if your Valkyrie equips it and uses it to rescue herself with her "reuse on Rescue" shield die, she can potentially just repeatedly do that over and over forever in a feedback loop until the retaliating enemy turns to dust Angry Diplomat fucked around with this message at 16:10 on Nov 21, 2022 |
