Elephant Ambush posted:It's fun but I would suggest just saving the gold to put Curse on Dirt Tornado and spam it. If I wanted to avoid the ridiculousness of curse-nado, what would be the second best enhancement? Wound? Assuming I'm not saving up 300g to add Disarm to it. If I'm not enhancing it, I might just stop bringing when I get Rock Slide since I'll have so much multi-target damage with that. Reik fucked around with this message at 19:46 on Sep 9, 2019 |

I think Curse and Wound are the same cost so you might as well just go ham. Disarm doesn't make sense because not only is it super expensive it also negates the muddle. I guess +1 attack? Feeding it earth, popping a power potion, and using Eagle Eye Goggles can do some serious damage.

If you don't enhance dirt tornado, just stop bringing it once you get a few levels. I had tons of fun without it, dropping rocks, throwing rocks. Had plenty of multitarget capacity without it, focused on true damage. I was the party specialist at killing low HP high shield enemies.

Yeah - I needed to save money, so I never enhanced Dirt Tornado either, and it fell out of rotation relatively early.

Anyone ever use Backup Ammunition? I find I rarely have a use for it. But I am kinda of melee oriented with my cragheart.

Backup Ammunition allows for sweet as hell plays like double Crater or double Massive Boulder (add a Stamina Potions for back to back Flame Demon slaying nonsense). It's awesome.

Especially if you enhance any of the ranged attacks. I put Wound on Massive Boulder and I think +1 on Crater which makes Backup Ammo almost mandatory for doubling those. My standard Cragheart opener is top of Backup Ammo and any bottom that generates earth. Unless there is a big group of enemies within range of a Dirt Tornado and then I curse bomb them and generate earth and then stamina potion the Dirt Tornado and do it again next turn.

You should use it every scenario unless craggy is melee-only. I usually played it during the first room's clean-up and opened the next room with a few massive boulders.

There's a bottom move 2 shield 1 i think?, put strengthen on that so you can get two turns of strengthen for the price of one.

With Eagle Eye Goggles and Reinforced Steel you can have advantage every turn. Unless you're using +move boots every turn or refreshing a shield (which is certainly possible) you should probably be attacking with advantage every turn. When my wife retired her 3 Spears she added jump on the bottom of Hastened Step and +1 move to the top of it, along with Jump on bottom of the level 1 cleave attack.

Got a couple games games in this past weekend and am nearing my retirement on my Mindthief. Assuming all goes well, next session I should be able to kill the three Lurkers I need to unlock Cthulhu face. Pretty interested to see exactly what the class is, I've managed to be mostly unspoiled by it so far. Gonna miss my crazy stabby guy though, Mindthief just hits like a truck. Last mission we completed was 24 Echo Chamber, and holy poo poo it felt so good to just cheese the gently caress out of it. Our party has Two-Minis, Scoundrel, and Mindthief (and Tinker), so I just ran through stuff while turning invisible and opened most of the doors in three turns. Meanwhile, once that happened Two-Mini swapped the Scoundrel to the back and then she went and opened the last two doors on turn three. Game over, heros win, get wrecked oozes! Super good times, really loving this game.

That card is so awesome. There's at least one scenario you can win in a single round if you plan your turn correctly. You will enjoy Cthulhu, I believe. It's a really fun class, and should fit your team very well.

Yeah, I recently played that mission as a scoundrel with a teammate who was a Mindthief with [redacted awesome mobility item] and we saw that victory condition and decided "gently caress it, let's just run this on the highest possible level to get the most bonus experience." It was awesome. We were invisible the whole time while the tinker got completely wrecked by the vastly overleveled enemies - but at least he got his battle goal and dropped his highest XP generating cards before being turned into paste.

Elephant Ambush posted:My secondary campaign is good times. This week we had my Lightning Bolts and another guy's 3 Spears run their first scenario with Circles and Music Note. Of course these dolts want to do 72. I was more confident than last time but it went about the same because enemy RNG is a thing. Especially in that scenario. Anyway we had fun but we all exhausted which caused Circles to retire and open Saw. Music Note unlocked a personal quest scenario that we will probably do next session. We're playing FC with the nerf and it's been fine. We have lost a few scenarios and come close on a few others, but generally we've been to blame (like rushing into the final room instead of spending a few turns healing from 3 hp back to 26.

The people who made the extended battle goals have put up a playtest version of a custom class that seems pretty wild. The gimmick is that they can phase into an ethereal being, and when they do it they flip all their cards upside down to turn them into entirely different cards. My favorite thing is that the class's initiative numbers avoid the digits 3, 4, and 7 so that they're still numbers upside down, but honestly trying to wrap my head around a class with cards that do four different things instead of the usual two seems like a pain.

First game tonight running Saw instead of Sun. I am really looking forward to it, but ... I am extremely worried that playing Sun for the past 15-20 games or so has completely erased any capacity for self-preservation in both me and my allies.

Saw: I suggest playing it like a Scoundrel, alternating between slow initiative to move and attack after enemies go, and fast to hit and run next turn before enemies go. Be adjacent to your teammates as much as possible for obvious reasons. It's a really fun and flexible class.

I am not so good at Saw yet. But we won Scenario 43 by the very skin of our teeth. Literally. Both me and Two Minis could only Long Rest on the last round. One group of Drakes did their buff card that round, and the last of the Rending Drakes took his last point of damage from a Wound. The other two had exhausted already.

Eventually it got a little boring and I felt OP as hell, but for a while in there it was invigorating to basically always be shouting IS THAT THE BEST YOU GOT COME ON AND FIGHT ME HIT ME HARDER ARGH!!!!!!!!! I HAVE AN ABSOLUTELY COMICAL SHIELD AND MY RETALIATE IS SOMEHOW HIGHER! HIT ME HARDER, WUSS!. And that just seems antithetical with that PQ.

Exhausting doesn't necessarily mean your HP has been reduced to 0. You can just start burning loss cards and short rest every turn to burn through your deck before the end of the scenario.

O I know and I cheesed that with the scoundrel, but it goes against the hilarious power-fantasy that is playing the sun. I'm not arguing it's mechanically impossible, just that it's thematically unsatisfying.
