Move 4 in a straight line is pretty hard to pull off consistently though.

Reik posted:Move 4 in a straight line is pretty hard to pull off consistently though. Like turn to turn yeah duh, but if you’re planning a little ahead with rests and you know you have those cards it’s a great combo to know you have in your pocket. Also while the top doesn’t look great in a vacuum, it really shines with other cards. Plus that ranged pull is really helpful to both go all Scorpion “Get over here!”/set off traps, because the Brute really doesn’t have ranged attacks so having those as an option helps a lot.

City Management VI, Update 1 First thing first, let's see what we want to pick for our Cragheart and Brute advancements: Advancements so far posted:- Rocky: Clear the Way and Blunt Force are currently tied, so we'll keep the vote going! If you are changing your vote, please let me know and bold the choice! The Perks selection was crystal clear instead: Rocky is getting Replace a -1 with a +1 and Ignore negative item effects. City Event 09, resolution posted:
But we've picked B and we have reached Prosperity Level 3! This has 2 main effects at the moment: 1) When Gloomhaven's Prosperity goes up, any character with a level lower than the prosperity level may immediately advance their level to match. This means Master Splinter can immediately be promoted to Level 3, gaining a Card and a Perk! 2) We get access to Prosperity 3 items! They have also been added to the Market Pool sheet. Let's discuss where our party should head to next, even if we don't need to leave immediately... NOTE: we only know the basic creature and tiles composition for a Scenario at first; if we choose to pick one, I'll provide additional details (such as the map layout, creatures stat cards - and ability deck if we've met them before - and always active Scenario Effects). Available Scenario Locations posted:- We've found the location of the Clockwork Cove in a treasure chest in Scenario 1. As the name implies, we would face constructs, traps and puzzles. This is a Side Scenario. This is what we can expect from the Scenario: Road Event 25 posted:PLEASE KEEP VOTING FOR THE FOLLOWING THINGS (and please remember to bold your choices: - MVP/Play of the Game for Scenario 11! - Master Splinter's extra PERK and CARD. (please vote again if you had selected the one that has already won!) - Rocky's card between Clear the Way and Blunt Force (please only vote if you haven't done so already; if you want to change your vote, make sure to specify that!) - Money matters: do we want to buy/sell something with anyone? Do we want to donate? - Our Next Destination. - Road Event outcome (option A or B). That Italian Guy fucked around with this message at 12:30 on May 9, 2019 |

Master Splinter card: Brain Leech Master Splinter perk: Remove 2 -1s Rocky should buy Chainmail Splinter should Donate Next Destination: Ruinous Crypt (5) Road Event: Option A We also need to buy our second bag items. A Moon Earring for Bullwinkle seems pretty strong. Does Rocky have enough gold to buy another bag item after Chainmail? If so, a minor power potion would be good.

I agree that Splinter should take Brain Leech, though I wish the Strengthen were tied to a move instead of an attack. In order to use it effectively, the Mindthief has to stand still for a turn (unless used with Scurry) and stay next to a monster. For a character that squishy, that can be a big risk. Of course you can still apply the Strengthen without attacking, but then you're probably doing a ranged attack that turn, which are usually weaker than melee. It's still the best option available, though.

Run up and shank something, go invisible and then do two attacks the next turn, one of which is Strengthened.

I've found something like this is usually the best way to use the bottom of Brain Leech, but it can also be useful just for strengthen with a loss top or multi-target top we may get later. Turn 1: Bottom of Empathetic Assault enhanced with Strengthen, Attack with top action Turn 2: Scurry Top, Brain Leech Bottom to extend strengthen to turn 3

Oh snap I agree that Bullwinkle should buy a Moon Earring. I also forgot how strong the Prosperity 3 item set is.

Long Spear's fine, but the Brute already has Skewer. There are much better one and two handed weapons that can get unlocked.

I think a Long Spear for Splinter wouldn't be a bad idea. Don't really have any multi-target options right now.

Well Splinter has a Battle-axe, so she won't be able to carry both if the Spear is 2h.

If Splinter is going to buy anything I would vote selling Necklace of Teeth and buying an Empowering Talisman.

# ? May 9, 2019 21:23 |

She's getting pretty good value out of that necklace, and even a minor healing potion would be useful and not that costly.
|

Healing potions are bad though.
|
# ? May 9, 2019 23:25 |

Are they? They're no stamina potion but they seem alright.
|
# ? May 10, 2019 01:24 |

They're probably the weakest potion. Power potions add a lot of damage when used correctly, mana potions are super useful, stamina potions are borderline broken. Healing potions just let you maybe survive one more hit before you have to start tossing cards (or maybe not depending on how the random numbers go), or let you fix poison/wound once. Once you have an excess of money and a spare bag slot, having a minor healing potion available to fix road event-caused poison is nice, but mostly the goal is to not get hit rather than to take damage and then heal it. Another way to look at it is that generally speaking the other three potions are proactive, while the healing potion is reactive. Power, Mana, and Stamina potions are used to power up your engine, while Healing potions are used to fix the damage from one time you got hit.

Another way to look at it is that only the last point of HP actually matters. If you would never go to 0 HP, then a health potiom doesn't matter, and its pretty easy to for a group with decent tactical skills to almost never take enough damage to need the small amount of healing potions give.
|
# ? May 10, 2019 03:05 |
|
Think of it this way: an Empowering Talisman is essentially a second stamina potion. Is that better or worse than a healing potion? I would say it's way better. Yeah you could use the Talisman on the healing potion but again, is that generally better or worse than getting a second stamina potion in most situations? Personally I'll take a second stamina potion every time. Especially after we unlock enhancements.

I'd be down with getting the empowering talisman. Given the personal quest we've got with splinter, I imagine it'll be a while before retirement, so we can invest for the long haul. Do we not have any items that refresh on a long rest on Splinter? Seems like a good idea to keep it that way and just always short rest.

I think we should try to retire characters as soon as possible in the LP, just due to how long each scenario takes and being able to get to as much of the content as we can. If we ever do want to come back and play another Cragheart we want to unlock enhancements before we retire Rocky though so we can throw a sticker or two on some cards for the next go around, so getting to enhancements and then playing a scenario with a boss is what I'd recommend.
