Have you had any nonsense yet? i recommend keeping an eye out for mummified hand and bird urn (i think) for Defect, especially if you have unlocked the card that lets you spawn a new power every turn. Also the most efficient card in the game is apparently a Defect one, Ball Lightning.
Is there any word of a Switch version? I'm interested, but like Dead Cells and Hollow Knight, the mobility of the Switch is necessary for me at the moment.
I had the relic that gives dex every discard. That lead to being able to block literally everything for a while.
The extra orb one in combo with plasma allows for some crazy stuff. And if ball lightning is the one that does double or triple to all enemies I can confirm it's ridiculous. With some focus and/or extra orbs it just rinses everything.
Are you sure it's ball lightning that was most efficient temps?
7 damage and 1 lightning for 1.
Its solid. But it'd need some help.
The one that sets off double lightning constantly is the daddy. Triple upgraded.
Also, God bless melter. The white ball in second section with mega shields done in 2 hits.
The chick and the knight got me last night because I got to them without enough damage doers. She statused me until I had negative focus. Slow death from there....
That 7 damage + 1 lightning is technically 10 damage for 1 energy. Then if you don't evoke it it's 3 damage every turn after that, for 1. There's probably a nice eloquent equation that shows how much damage it's doing, but basically it's ridiculous.
One thing to learn in StS is anything that gives you block or damage for more than one turn is generally stupendously efficient.
Your exuberance convinced. Just done my first run. Realised I should’ve saved those potions when I got to the boss!
Nearly got him. This is good stuff. Will still double dip on Switch as it’s perfect hand held fodder. Wish I was playing this on the sofa now with the TV on the background. Right, time for run number 2.
Not yet. Just did 2 runs. Will be back on it tomorrow evening (maybe before work too!). But it really would get played more once on the Switch. Anyway loving everything about it and the buffs etc are so clearly displayed and signposted. The designers of this interface could give the Darkest Dungeon guys some pointers.
If anything it gets better the more you play. Daily challenges will pull me in everyday I reckon.
This. Just did my first daily challenges with The Defect. And 3 hours later I feel like I've only been playing for 10 minutes. Very addictive.
The combos with the orbs, Apotheosis(?) and the number of buffs you can use to get energy back just make him a tough nut to crack. Just got pipped at the end of Tier 3 by a transforming boss with 999 HP who was just about to die and he literally got me with 1 bloody point.
Going to miss this over Christmas (did I mention it should come out on the Switch).
