just had a Thief 6 run where the first "penalty" i got was "All equipment you find is upgraded" and then i had the easiest game of my life with Wrecking Ball+ and the "roll 2 fours" charm. just to sweeten the deal my boss was the dragon so I was tossing out an extra 5 damage every turn for free

I got bored and decided to make the Thief in Soul Calibur 6 and see how I managed to do a human version of him. Long story short stickers are a pain in the rear end to work with and ended up not looking all that great but I left them there because I thought the dice motif was worth having in some way.

Witch Parallel Universe is really cool, but jesus I'm getting my butt kicked just as I started to feel comfortable with her mechanics. For her PU kit, do people find Daffodil useful at all? I'm beginning to think it's a trap over getting an upgraded spell slot and using Snapdragon + even cards to build mana up. I've also been losing with the various "bonus effect if mana >= value" instead of Sun Beam which is way more straightforward.

To answer your spoilered question; not even a little, no. It's really hard to balance dice manipulation spells like Nudge or Magic Key with damage spells like Magic Missile, Magic Dagger or even Cauldrons, mainly because we have no idea what spells will become available, which makes slot planning almost impossible. The Witch needs to be able to rearrange her spellbook, I think.

I beat witch 4 by just stacking enchanted missiles into every single slot and damage racing the entire episode, same for 6 hard mode actually.

Parallel Universe is really fun except for PU Witch. Even though she has an easier time getting return-dice abilities compared to normal Witch, she still needs to scale up to win later fights. But it's so much harder to survive scaling without easy access to freeze, freeze?, burn?, and shock.

ImpAtom posted:There are special halloween stages out for a limited time right now. They're available until Nov. 4, supposedly they'll be available as mods when that support becomes available afterwards if you miss it. It's a new episode for Warrior, Inventor, and Witch. Warrior - Standard episode with set rule changes unlocking as you go down floors. Inventor - All equipment comes with drawbacks or is just plain bad. Witch - Each fight has a set spellbook and dice rolls. Also, you have to defeat each enemy in one turn. Warrior and Inventor are pretty straightforward, but I can't figure out the solution to the Witch's final boss. It's a real shame, I was having a lot of fun until I started banging my head against that wall. Hopefully someone'll figure it out before the event ends.

I'm mega stupid then because I was stuck on Floor 2 of Witch for like 5 minutes before I just moved on.  This is super charming and great though, a lot of effort for just a fun little holiday event given all the new art, new items for Engineer, and new music.

Far as I can tell for the final witch boss the secret is "just go infinite lol", the cornelius one took me a bit and didn't have a dumb solution like the boss one did. If you want the solution it's using doppel twice on 4s and vice grip to generate more fours to just generate infinite dice until you get bored and then use harvest scythe to cut down the amount of dice you have to throw.

There must have been an update, you can't throw dice in the Halloween episode. Doppletwice and Vice Grip are part of the solution though, you need to make enough dice so Harvest Scythe can eat all six spells.

Put this game down ages ago, came back to it, instantly beat Bonus Round Witch (she got the buff to be able to pick an extra die plus at least Sneezy and Wicker Man got nerfed since I last touched it) and I really really really like the final final boss fight. Did a great job feeling both totally rigged against me and totally doable. (could have won if I hadn't misclicked to switch my character in and die with it at 4 HP.)

Picked this up after seeing it on so many GOTY lists. Been having a great time for the most part. Beat the warrior route, 1 stage on each of the other routes, and am currently trying to beat the elimination round on Jester(stage 4). Got some questions. Is there a bug with the Inventor duplication card where it sometimes won't let you Snap identical cards with one of the dupes being the former inventor card? I swear I was able to do so earlier in the dungeon, but I have been losing dozens of times on the elimination round with jester, made it to the boss 3 times, and on this latest go...had a perfect hand, ready to go with double Whip+(one inventor), activated my limit break, went to hit Snap, and...it wasn't active. is this a bug? did I just lose my finally everything-going-perfectly run to a lovely bug? and is curse supposed to make cards not auto-slide into place, curse is already absurdly strong against jester, but then to force another move before the 3 available cards will update seems extremely overkill.

nah it's cool. I just savescummed my way through another run of it since I would have absolutely annihilated Beatrix if it had worked properly. Like, I had two Whip+, FOUR Duplicate+, two Hammer+, among others. It was a beastly deck, with multiple anvils found relatively early and then multiple copies found by the end of the run, and I blew all my cash on Boop deletion. but...the whip+ snap failure resulted in having to waste dice getting rid of them both, resulting in her stunlocking me shortly after with multiple sixes rolled soon after. Even with a second Snap, it was way too late, with how thin the margins are on the Elimination Round.

How do you play her? Biggest thing I can think to ask is what you're taking at level ups, but also which spells do you think are good and which seem useless?

I try to prioritize using all of my dice, so looking for spells that use both even and odd. Often I'll find the spell that requires a six to add a dice, it's ok but too many dice kind of sucks because I have to replace used spells. The spells that give shock are nice, the even + 1 shock I keep and often slots into my upgrade slot. The even that deals 5 as well. I think the duplicate and +1/-1 spells might be good, but I don't normally think they're great so rarely slot them in. Cauldron sticks around as a means to hope for better dice.

There's your problem. Whereas the other classes can get away with getting the right dice, Witch needs more dice period. The ideal Witch turn often involves replacing used spells so you can fire off five or six spells* in a single amazing turn. This means the witch has to either use the build where you stall while using the spell that adds a dice, or rely on the build with duplicate and really strong offensive spells. Also, freeze is critical for normal witch. * 3 cauldron variants and 3 real spells

Ah right. I aim for getting more dice with other characters, and occasionally end up with being able to reload on spells with witch but I guess I wasn't taking the right spells to go with it. I suppose witch's power beinf 3 extra dice should've tipped me off.

Bumping this thread. Anyone still playing this? I've put a lot of hours into it the past three weeks, it's great. Currently have six episodes left to beat, Inventor 4-6 and Witch 4-6, and it really feels like the difficulty on these is way, way higher than anything else. Inventor is just hard to figure out which items to take, which to risk for each fight, which to upgrade, how to spend your coins, whether to even take on that extra fight to aim for max level and risk losing a key piece of equipment... Really difficult to evaluate the situation starting at the third floor or so. My most recent runs on episode 4 ended at the boss, the first I banked on two Flamethrowers+ and got Buster as my boss, so that's that. The second I debated for like five minutes if I should take on the final two fights on floor 5 to get to max level and full heal or hit the boss on 30/40 HP. I went with the latter after deciding that Cowboy will just end me on turn 2 anyway, so I might as well try for the boss. Got flattened by Audrey. With Witch I only have one strategy figured out, which got me through the first three episodes, but not very reliably. It basically amounts to tanking for 2-3 turns while using Hall of Mirrors on the first prepared slot and another Hall of Mirrors on an upgraded slot until you have 6-7 dice, then replace one with healing and go from there. I usually ended fights with 10-12 dice. I don't think it's quick enough for the Elimination Round and onwards, though. I'm going to try experimenting with prepared slots more maybe cause I usually upgrade, as well as try relying more on dice recycling rather than duping. Anyway, good game and GOAT-tier soundtrack.

It's been a long while since I played but I still listen to parts of the soundtrack once in a while - much to the befuddlement of others nearby if it's on speaker  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fKHKaBM54IU Last time I played I got through everyone's first scenario okay, plus  run; and Warrior 2, then got completely stuck on Thief 2 and really frustrated. Haven't seen anything else

I still boot it up from time to time. Still haven't been able to beat a single episode of the witch. I've literally finished every other episode, including the bonus rounds! Something about the witch just does not mesh with my brain.

I think Witch would feel better to play if her UI was improved, right now it feels kind of clumsy and unintuitive. Checking a spell's upgrade for instance is too many clicks, and replacing your prepared spells is done in a weird way from a UI perspective. Why isn't it just drag-and-drop like normal equipment? Would be nice if you could see equipment upgrades in a shop too while I'm at it (for everyone, I mean). Two other design changes that would help her would be allowing you to move spells around in your spellbook rather than locking you into your bad decision, and letting you go back to loot if you decided not to pick it up at first. With normal equipment you can see what a chest contains and leave it, then change your mind and come back for it. With Witch if you decline a spell it vanishes from the floor so you have to make a decision on the spot. (edit: <-- This whole thing I wrote isn't actually true, I must be mistaking it for something else.) I think both of these changes would help without changing her gameplay all too much at all, and certainly wouldn't make her less challenging. Right now it just sorta feels bad to lack the basic flexibility that the other characters have. The other day I did Thief's Bonus Round and this...:  ...did not work as I thought it would. Apparently Bounty Hunter only applies to your initial, natural rolls, not re-rolls. I was so disappointed.  Seems like exactly the kind of cool interaction that's fun to stumble on in this genre, but nope. The rule description should really be clarified there.

Turns out not stubbornly going for every fight in an attempt to get to max level does wonders for your chance to win. Especially with Inventor's later episodes, unsurprisingly, but it's helped me a ton with Witch as well. Just being smarter about which fights to take (and when, if it's a consideration) and which to just skip. If you've been similarly guilty of that while trying to clear some of those final episodes I strongly recommend trying that. Specifically from the third floor onwards, on the first two I generally do still fight everyone.
