Scenario 120: with the special card mechanic, how do you handle losing cards from damage? I took a bunch of hits on 1hp straight after opening the door with an empty discard pile and all my cards in the set aside deck, we decided to draw a random card from the special deck to lose because it seemed extremely dumb that I'd just exhaust immediately.

Geminate really hated the mission too.

My honest advice would be not to open that door under those circumstances ;)

I played that one with Fist.

I guess the Q is whether you always have zero cards in hand? I opened the door with a full hand and then got shot multiple times, generally having a full hand is safe but here you instantly lose them all.

Geminate:

If the geminate draws 3 cards of the wrong form, they are forced to rest right? Ours wasted several turns that way.

Oh that one. Sorry I got it confused with Paul's other scenario.

I'd strongly recommend splitting geminate's deck in two.

Our snowflake is doing his first scenario today and I'm doing my last as Drifter. Should we do the boss in scenario 21 or start a new chain? If I start up Trap next time, how would Trap, Snow, Banner, and Geminate do against a boss? Could be a good gold/item boost, but I wonder how Trap is against bosses. Snow as well.

Trap is good against bosses, provided that they can be moved. You have to use a specific build to make it work against bosses that can't, and pray you don't draw a crit miss

We need the equivalent of the shrimp = small pastry avatar, but for ambulances and their mysteries now.
We just retired our second character in our 2P game and we got to do another double retirement. We got Envelope 44 so we unlocked the Enhancer, which is good and cool but I had a doubt about the PQ itself since we were supposed to unlock a Scenario and follow it to its conclusion...do we still unlock the Scenario? Are we missing something if we go straight to the retirement? Are the skipped scenarios fun/interesting?

Ah that one! Aesther Outpost.

The scenarios are Marcel-designed, and there's four. 65 is imo excellent, but the rest are uneven.

You technically do not unlock them but tbh, there's zero downside in house ruling it to unlock anyways. Just ignore the bit at the end about retiring.

Any tips for 13? My boneshaper is feeling, uh, a little useless!

We (4p - boneshaper, deathwalker, blinkblade, drifter) tried twice and failed pretty hard both times. I was paired with the drifter and I think we were way too passive in trying to get set up and took a lot of damage early. My best idea at this point is to basically ignore summons in the first room and just try and buff up the drifter to take out the first room asap - I think we can dump out some good damage with the drifter's melee passive and me strengthening + using my grant 5 attack burn. That should hopefully deal with the first room quickly, though then it's right into innate shield 2 mostly ranged enemies where I'm still not super useful....

13 will be very hard for Boney in a 2p team but okay in 3+

Shrike Fiends are like "gently caress summons in particular" so I'd consider the persistent that will protect them from a few sources of damage, then just burn them down as fast as possible.

Before I do anything, I think, well what hasn't been seen. Sometimes, that turns out to be something ghastly and not fit for society. And sometimes that inspiration becomes something that's really worthwhile.
Scenario 19 (Skyhall) isn't great, in our opinion. We won, barely, but it was a slog. Everyone felt that 9 rounds before the objective is revealed is too long, especially with the room full of elites by then.

Finally getting into a groove of team trap/coral. Trapper made an 11 damage trap and yeeted it into an elite steel automaton and saved my rear end from a pierce 3 attack and God drat what a power move that is. She doesn't so much as lay traps as just build bombs to throw and by God it works.

Question on ruling for a +target modifier card. I used an attack 2, 2 targets with 2 valid targets. Pulled a +0 for the first target and a +0/+1 target for the second. Do I get to deal another 2 damage to the first target or do i need a third target because it was an attack 2?

You'd need a third. It's still all the same attack ability.

This is great! The timeline is getting Alpha testers 'in the coming months' so not super soon, but soon enough that it should be ready for when my TTS group is done with Crimson Scales.

For content: is there a good resource for guides for the Crimson Scales classes? I played the Crescent Sun class first and never really figured out how to be effective with it. I had an easy retirement goal that I rushed and am now playing the Ladder Axe focusing on ending my turn on my ladder for the ranged attacks, buff bonus effects, and heals. I prefer simple classes which is why I never really gelled with the Crescent Sun, but I'd be interested in reading other's opinions on how to make it work.

Okay so you would then pull a new modifier card for the attack? So theoretically I could be surrounded use my biggest single target attack and luck into hitting 3 or more enemies by pulling +1 target modifiers consecutively?

I mean it will never happen because my luck is catastrophically bad. 3 -1s in my deck and I pulled all 3, then a null, reshuffle, and pulled null immediately. I haven't crit in like 6 scenarios.

The good news is I'm also pulling the monster cards and infusing that luck there. 4 nulls to 1 crit last scenario for the bad guys.

Yes, if you have say a single target attack and draw a + target mod, you apply the +0 damage to the current target then select a target and draw a new modifier, which can also be another + target if you have another one in your deck.

It's obviously got a lot of burst potential but it's not the craziest thing that can happen when there's stuff like brittle and rolling modifiers and crits and other fun stuff.

Am I reading the special rules for Scenario 15 correctly, that only one character can move to the section with the Chaos Lieutenant?

Flavor-wise, I get the impression that it's supposed to resemble kind of an open spiral staircase, is that right?

more like a catwalk above the main floor but yes

I don't think it's an especially well designed scenario, because by RAW I'm pretty sure the turrets would always target the person in that area first while they're effectively trying to solo a boss so we just sort of...handwaved that part away.

Scenario 15 was definitely one of the biggest "that's it?" parts of our campaign so far.

We've unlocked all classes and we're mostly mopping up all those side scenarios we ignored before we go for the final parts of the main quest. Since we ran out of personal quests and what I play doesn't matter, I decided to go back to my true love: Trap :allears:

How's it goin' eh?

My party just finished Scenario 14 and we unlocked Coral and Kelp. The group agreed on Kelp but I was excited for Coral as Ive seen some spoilers and it looks awesome.

Can anyone give a rough idea on how long till we'll have a chance at the other class? Is it further down that same path?
Im mostly curious as my personal quest is nearing completion, though Im sure any class will be fun.
