I just had a win with both of the lightning bolt items that restore health/shields per spellcast, the +2 to heals item, the chalice that deals damage for excess healing, the yellow with the shield bash, and the red spell that heals 2 health for 1 magic point. Maybe the most synergy I've ever had.

218 Blursed run. Had an adjustment that gave me and mobs -2 hp and let me just say that enemies with 1 hp are very easy to defeat. Watching a screen full of bones blow up and take everything out around them for 1 vine cast is

I love this game but I'm finding most of my runs are ended by enemies that only take chip damage these days. If you're going to make me fight infinite slates then can you give me some more items to deal with them without having to always auto pick vine?

There's also Sparky for Zap. Less reliable, but jugglers can also do some nasty damage to slates, and poisoning a Slate will take it down quicker too. Warrior and Tank characters don't really get a good way of dealing with them though. I suppose stun tends to be pretty reliable, what with their low hp.

theres wanderer for warriors, but thats tier 3. maybe a tier 2 warrior with a 1 damage, use twice dice would be nice?

  ... This is the final boss... and of course it's Hexia. Does anyone have a strat. We are stuck with the item that if that character dies, the whole run is wiped.

Roll really well, get enough mana for multiple blazes plus some shields, burn her down Uhhh I've got nothing if you don't get rerolls and cantrip mana

Imo either keep the jester and try and get the dodges then blast through Hexia (rip your bottom guy), or the sorcerer and go for a super defensive poison attempt. You have Blaze and loads of mana so either way should be doable

I'm familiar with the game but it's like the poster below says - there aren't many good tier 3 options for dealing chip damage unless you luck into a wanderer or huge source of mana. I've started keeping tier 2 heroes now and that does help but I think tier 3 needs another look over.

 One of the funnest, yet balanced, games I've ever had, this squad was a drat wrecking ball. Dragon could never get an attack off from the 5 weaken. The biggest threat was from a ghost-filled fight but the hex helped get me through it.

drat, that's a lot of extra modes on the paid version. I must not have paid attention on the pay page because I was just expecting the final few levels/classes/item tiers Shame that now that I have the full version, my runs seem to be dying sooner

Yeah for a game that "doesn't want you to just roll and use what you get" 99% of the seeds shouldn't be impossible. Curses are not well tuned, even knowing the mode is meant to be punishing.

It's a rogue-like. You are meant to just die in horribly unfair ways a lot of the time. That is part of the charm. The flip side of that is how satisfying it is when you put together a magical combo and just sail through like it ain't no thing. Speaking of sailing through I can confirm that having neither of 999 rerolls and 999 mana is a secret. So don't sweat on keeping up with that infinite reroll combo until you hit the max as it doesn't matter.

There's a dude on the discord who's rocking like a 60% winrate on unfair. Which is, admittedly, still pretty low, but I think it bodes well if there's someone who's able to win more often than not. Couldn't be me though, I think I'm only at like 15% winrate on unfair.

I don't play any mode other than blursed now. The trade-off between curses and blessings leads to lots of interesting decisions.

been enjoying this game quite a bit lately, easy to fit a session in when i want. got through normal and hard almost immediately, but definitely took some more effort to get an unfair clear, but i eventually got there (with a starter blessing too, which I think is actually somewhat hard to be a correct choice. was pretty down to the wire though, i was pretty much singularly reliant on hitting a 10 pip flute cantrip -> steel side combo) i'll probably settle in for doing unfair streaking at some point, but i figure i'll at least try and get a brutal clear. a little reading has pretty much confirmed my suspicion that 5 blue is basically the only real way to go for i. I know brutal is a bit of a, like, not joke difficulty but definitely a novelty, but it's still a bit frustrating how starting a fresh seed on it can be. plenty of seeds are basically a slim miserable drag to even get to floor 4, and it's a kind of bad prospect to have to reach floor 10 on a different just to really get another shot (only for the chance of spawning a thorn on floor 1, blocking the dumb 5 blue strat entirely or forcing a dummy run just to kill the thorn). I think part of the compulsion is there's an unlock barred behind the brutal clear, and while I know there's an unlock all button it feels kind of bad to click when I have so many other unlocks too. But so does waiting to get through those in a more honest fashion just to feel like I can attempt it again. I'm not going to claim to be an authority on balance or whatever, but there can definitely be some pain points with unfair as well. I wouldn't really expect every curse to be properly budgeted, even that seems kind of impossible to accomplish. I think the limitedness of the curse point buy at the beginning really belies how synergistic some curses can be, especially with how limited the selection can be. And returning to an earlier point the blessings can feel like a detriment to appear in the panel because it's not just that you have to pick extra curse points to balance them out, but they seemingly take a slot too, limiting your choices further (and ofc, whatever value you're adding is going to be the 'worst' end of curses you pick too, because you wouldn't pick them if you only had to reach 10). I think I'd almost appreciate if the starting point buy was a decently larger selection but lacked the choice to reroll them, and maybe blessings would have their own slot or something. I'm not sure how much easier it would make it, and I do think it'd end up being a nerf overall (with the caveat that some seeds are just going to have lower floors), but I think it would help at least feel more in control. really do enjoy the game though

Since I found out this was possible this is the only way I have been playing. There's a couple of combinations that will work. Growth with extra rolls and a dancer has a good shot. The one that got me closest with 22 turns was this.

I'm still playing the free version and I'm making 0 progress on unfair. I've gotten to the boss once but it feels so punishing because the best curses to take early are the stuff like less health and you just can't outpace that later on. Is there a list of curses to pick/ignore somewhere?

I usually take Pristine Enemies if it's offered. Lot of points and it can be nullified by aoe/cleave, which is relatively common.

WarpedLichen posted:Is there a list of curses to pick/ignore somewhere? I think the best approach to unfair is to assume you need to win battles in 1-3 rounds or you are hosed, so the safest tend to be: -Stuff that slowly hurts you, like start poisoned or take damage on turn X -Stuff that buffs monster dice -reduced mana storage And the most dangerous tend to be things that nerf your ability to do damage or buff monster durability.
