      pretty accurate, it's crazy how shit the runaway is and even worse that we lost the crusader for it. schizophrenic awful host of abilities with no synergy to itself
      just dragged her through act 4 with orphan build just sitting in the back spamming firefly and smokebomb, none of her abilities felt worthwhile at all

      Occultists everything is d tier, you want double healing and his healing is god awful. To make shit worse his damage is not worth self-harm which steals healer turns which can be used for damage.

          Man I run vestal-pd-man at arms + 1 and its straight up unkillable comp. Its fricking crazy how shit occultist is compared to both vestal or pd. Abyssal artillery and pull are the only 2 good skills on him. He needs his entire token system removed to be on the level of pd which is just most broken shit atm.

      >Monarch in S over Tempest
      Why? Monarch is a literal cripple for most of the game and only marginally better than tempest against mountain bosses since you still get the regular penalties.

      • 11 months ago
        Anonymous

        Because of Intimidate. Intimidate is currently one of the strongest skills in the game and putting a vulnerability token on it makes it extremely potent for damage dealers. You have full rank coverage, it's spammable and still allows leper to fulfill his function as a tank and now it also allows you to contribute to the damage output of your damage dealers. It also eats through armor tokens so any armor based encounter gets absolutely crushed by a monarch leper. I actually contemplated putting it in S+ but the issue is that the leper chasis is still very vulnerable to situations in which he gets shuffled away from rank 1 which a MaM can recover from fairly easily.
        The high threat fights in the came tend to be cosmic in which case the Monarch Leper is just Leper+ with no downsides.
        I can't stress enough how good Monarch is. It's my absolute favorite tank in comps that aren't dot based.

        • 11 months ago
          Anonymous

          Also, I forgot to add that this requires zero mastery point investments. The skill is so good on monarch at baseline that this will be 80% of his action economy all the way to mountain. The only skill I tend to upgrade for him before I swim in excess mastery points is solemnity.

      Deadeye graverobber is well above C tier. In trivial encounters she just spams poison dagger and is fine, even self-sustaining with Dead of Night, and its when things go south that she shines. She is one of the best characters at unfricking a party shuffle while still being active with lunge and pirouette (or she just keeps spamming dagger because it works in most ranks), and when everything really goes to shit she can just drink absinthe and suddenly she's out of danger and your healer and tank can work on saving other people.

      • 11 months ago
        Anonymous

        The reason things go often south is because she's just not a good dot spammer. If I want to do that kind of thing I just get a PD or Runaway. Her self-reliance doesn't help the team. If you compare that to something like Leper for example he is pretty self-sustaining but still generates taunt tokens. The only thing Graverobber does with Absinthe is protect herself. If you want a character that can unfrick shuffles then Jester is a much better rank 3 and rank 4 character because he has other skills that are generally useful for the team.
        She could be a pretty decent dodge tank if she got easier access to stealth.

        If you end your run at an inn you get to keep all candles that you've got up to that point. You also ensure that every character survives in case some of them have good quirks and memories. The only exception to the candle reduction rule of dying outside of an inn is if you die at the act boss. I don't know whether the same applies to the oblivion's ingress encounters after the last inn and the act boss.

        Leviathan's undertow also doesn't force target taunts. I don't know whether this was changed but I'm pretty sure the default strategy here used to be that you would just stack move resist on your rank 1 character, taunt them up and the mechanic of the boss gets trivialized. I recently got gigafricked in that encounter when he dragged a damage dealer into the water and I had to get through the hand with dots instead of nuking it.

        Alternatively considering the ending gives everyone a happy ending the helmet could imply the dude just finally stopped fighting and went back home, same sort of deal with Flag not showing up
        Which is kinda awkward considering in DD1 he was unaware Dismas murked his family

          I just like the idea after DD1 he just died on a nameless battlefield, of all the characters in DD he always screamed to me as an absolutely generic, standard soldier with nothing to his him.
          But it was a good sort of generic, they could've given him some insane standout design but nope, just a regular ass knight. I won't be against him returning but I'm honestly not too bummed about him not being in 1.0.

          It's probably the locket of the woman and child who he unintentionally killed, and he's probably reflecting on whether his efforts to stop the end of the world was enough atone for killing them.

      Dead. This is a pretty terrible too, because you might have noticed in every composition they are using Baristan, because there is no alternative for dedicated tank, which wouldve been a role for Crusader, at least if DD1 was anything to go by.

      I am going to call it now, the Cusader is going to be "replaced" with a new character that carries crusaders helmet around and has all the same moves, where their story is that they got Crusader killed or something, maybe its their child we see in that one comic, but it wont be crusader himself and wont have his drip, probably summons him as an attacking/defending spirit etc.

        Anonymous

        First I speed buffed the shit out of him in the previous inn so he would always be able to go before any of the eyes.
        I put him at rank 3 before the fight. In his first turn I guard vestal so the eye that targets her also targets him. After the eyes on rank 3 and 4 put focus on him I get him to rank 2. Runaway has Firefly so she can move back to rank 3 and move MaM forward. So after the first turn he should be at rank 2. At this point I kill the second eye so the token on runaway disappears. Then I move him to rank 1 with a pointblank from highwayman and then guard the highwayman with MaM. So when the eyes on rank 1 and rank 2 come back they will both inevitably target the MaM.

        if you get the mark from the eye, you will keep the mark until the big eye spawn
        you can also remove the mark if you manage to kill the corresponding eye
        so you just use MAA to guard/shuffle positions while the rest of the party manages heals/stress/kill eyes that have not yet marked MAA
        you can also do it without MAA and his guard skill by just shuffling/killing eyes that have not marked the right guy but guard trivializes this process

I'm replaying and I'm getting into champion while there's nobody left to do the last apprentice quests any more. Looking at things I'll probably get to a point of having maxed enough teams by week 60-70. It's not much of a grind unless you wipe multiple times.

      How would you put the crusader in the game when most of his kit got yoinked by MAA? Crus was the invincible brick shithouse with a taunt who doesn't afraid of anything and only cares about his team when he has to Deus vult their stress away, while MAA was all about working with the team and dying to stress like a b***h.
      Now MAA also gets to be the stress healer, can shuffle better than holy lance and can even steal the solo bruiser role with the vanguard path. There's really no room for a second knight character, so bringing the crusader back would require some serious reworks and not just palette swapping him like the flag. I don't trust red hook to "redesign" him without turning him into a fedora tipper or a cultist, so him staying dead is probably for the best.

              Some they changed or they just added more to. Hellion still hides from the battle for instance, instead you just also see her being thrown out of her home for her cowardice while crying to be let back in. Vestal you still see her fingering herself to a couple and being punished, only I guess god thought it was fine for her to let the flame die and gave her those powers to escape, and all her fellow vestals were killed along with her.

      Well they completely changed how relationships work, if you played the launch it was fricking insuferable with that shit.

      This is fundamentally a different game and even if they fix some "annoying" mechanics it will still not hold a candle to DD1. For better or worse this is a different kind of game, and DD1 still holds up, so making DD2 with the intention of replacing it wouldve probably been a horrible misstep.

          New players complaining about the new blessed/cursed ability mechanic make me laugh. Oh, you hate having your ability cause some negative effects on your team members? You do? How about just not getting to fricking use the ability at all at random intervals when you needed them. And then the c**t of a PD would insult your Highwayman from the back in a turn in which he needed to kill a high threat target and suddenly he has a blinded token and you fricking miss the enemy. It was awful.

        It was a mistake that they removed that mechanic for denial. In early access you had to get a trophy regardless of the act. Newbies are going to play through denial without clearing a lair, then get all way to the mountain in resentment and notice that the rules changed.

      The paths are also somewhat ordered in terms of strength within the tier itself. So whatever is at the top far left of a tier is something I consider strongest within that tier. I don't like that I don't have the flexibility to use Noxious Blast and Plague grenade on Surgeon and Physician for example so I consider them weaker than the basic Plague Doctor path.

Boudica's tribesmen most likely would've died even if a competent warrior took her place, while Barristan's battalion would've had a chance to survive if they had proper leadership.

      MAA absolutely isn't pure - he rose through the ranks via nepotism and literally lying, then got all the people under his authority viciously slaughtered whilst he fled.

      And Sarmenti absolutely should be in pure tier. The dude was treated like actual garbage by the court of decadent corrupt nobility he was playing entertainer to, because they didn't want someone of actual talent, they wanted a clown to shit on. His only mistake was using demon magic to do so.

            Claiming inability and incompetance to do what is needed of someone as evil implies every soul that will ever exist is black as sin. Its a dead end logic with no meaning or purpose other than contrarian nihilism.
            Man-At-Arms wanted to live, it was scared, it broke rationality. Thats not evil, its the human condition. its an action that led to deaths unintended. He was an idiot and a fool.
            Jester actively wanted to kill them for mocking him and even resorted to taboo magic to do it. Sure the courts are buttholes far more evil, but its just one murdering its own kind at this point. Its an evil that feels karmic but evil nonetheless

              All of Legacy of Kain/soul reaver has incredible (and hammy) voice acting.
              MGS (even if I dislike most of the games)
              Soma's MC had an amazing voice actor.
              Ratchet and Clank, especially Jim Ward as Captain Qwark. But all of it is good.
              Crash Bandicoot had great voice acting.
              A lot of the Armored Core games, surprisingly, and some of the Ace Combat games, especially The Unsung War.
              The oneliner thing isn't done much, so I'm struggling coming up with an example. Soul Calibur and Mortal Kombat I guess have some good ones.
              There's Leslie Philips as Gex.
              So many examples of superior voice acting.

              All this to say, that like Bastion (wow look at that another hot take), a deep voiced narrator that preys on zoomer daddy issues combined with what a 12 year old fanfiction writer thinks sounds cool, does not make good voice acting.
              If it were possible I'd love to get my hands on the voice acting of Wayne without the over the top modulation. It would probably sound pretty bad.
              To be fair the writing is decent enough, but the delivery is mediocre.

      no that's moronic. You should keep their stress down however. 3 pips max if you can help it. I bring a destresser every run to do it occasionally when they aren't doing their role.

      everyone agrees act 3 boss is the hardest because it's the most moronic and basically rng based, you can mitigate it a bit with specific parties but overall it's just not fun because when you lose to it, it feels like it isnt your fault and that's the worst kind of game design

      Use Scourge on Flagellant so his heal is busted. Use More, More! to make him tank. Swap between Ministrations and single target heal on Vestal depending on overall party health and especially Jester since he won't be getting Consecration, otherwise just heal with Mantra.

      fish is bullshit and is easily my last choice for a lair boss to kill
      2nd final boss is about dealing just enough damage to the lungs to stop the big attacks but not actually killing them because that makes the main boss's attacks stronger
      so you need someone that can deal good backline damage which usually ends up being a highwayman spamming take aim or a hellion using iron swan

      The frick are you talking about? She fricked up, got tortured, and was responsible for her sisters' being trapped in their room until they died. God I fricking hate you lying homosexuals so much.

        And God thought she dindu nuffin so he gave her powers so she could fight back against her torturers, condemning the ebil church.

          The Light is a collective belief in something. It exists because people like Crusader or Vestal think it's real. Therefore, she wasn't granted powers by God or a higher being.

    Crusader being the last villain would've been fricking kino

    Now they're probably just going to add him in some update later to drum up interest and probably sell you a DLC, although I don't think they'll actively sell old heroes as DLC.

      No, it'd be fricking gay. Crusader managing to hold back the Abyss and aiding you against the final villain is the real kino.

        You can spruce it up a little, maybe he's only part of the final boss, maybe he actually indirectly help you during the final fight buty you still need to hurt him to proceed, or maybe the game keeps it unclear whether he's the real Crusader that's been mindraped into an abomination (not that one) barely aware of what he's become or just a crud imitation to further break your mind.

        Just a little special attention for our lad.

        turns out flogging yourself and almost dying over and over against is bad for your health

        He literally flogged himself into lichdom.

        I guess it sticks out more since he's the only one who dramatically changed between games, besides Antiquarian becoming a enemy now.

        Read her comic + barks from DD1 - she was always in it for money and occult knowledge. Oh, and she's also a remorseless killer. Her joining the pillagers (who are greedy fricks but still human) makes perfect sense.

      I fricking hate the bounty hunters hiring mechanic. Also yeah, games been in early access for what, 2 years? And all they managed to do is make one new character and bring back two old ones they had missing from the initial roster, Vestal and Flagellant.

      the only people who genuinely hate them are contrarians or people upset that their favorite coomer artists probably won't bother with modding this one because they don't know how to model/rig/animate

      ill fully admit that i was not on board with the 3D graphics when i first saw a trailer year(s?) ago
      but the animations are by far the best thing about this game, i love the feel of combat which is quite an accomplishment for a turn-based game
      then again the whole overworld feels amateurish as frick and i dont understand just what the frick they were thinking

          traversing the dungeons on foot in DD1 is fine. travelling with the cart looks fricking stupid and encounters even more so. like cmon you just drive straight into roadblocks and have to stop when theres a building. does not look good and i wouldve preferred if all we got was the map, no visuals for travelling

        It all looks a bit wonky. Frankly I don't see the point of 3D since it just tries to replicate 2D, or especially the shitty stagecoach mechanic.
        I'm wondering if they made this game to fund a DD3 which will use the character models from DD2. It makes a lot more sense than saying their life's goal was to make yet another shitty roguelite amalgamation.

      Yeah, the models and animations are great. My only minor gripe is how some characters like the Occultist are now towering chads with arms broader than someone swinging a massive claymore all day long.

      Yeah as far as I know DD1 is still canon, world's in some sort of cosmic time-loop involving outer gods, you canonically beat them back as the Descendant of the Ancestor and halted the tide, but like, mere mortals can't stop Outer Gods for long. So they came back.

      I kinda want to know how they justify everyone coming back to life since you're supposed to fail all the fricking time and stuff though, but it's a video game so whatever

      Yes. They go all in on the stupid "deep" metaplot about humans being evil or something, and it ends with the world being destroyed no matter what you do in the game.

      It also canonizes the "time loop" shit from the first one so each subsequent playthrough you go to the random mountain for no particular reason so that particular timeline gets destroyed.

      It's a pretty accurate depiction of mobile games, soulless cash grabs where you keep venturing to an arbitrary, meaningless destination that doesn't matter because all of it's wiped at the end anyway.

        it's funny that your attempts to spoil the ending are so obfuscated by your moronic interpretation that it's not actually spoiling anything

          The ending's been discussed multiple times already and there are plenty of videos on it.
          >your moronic interpretation
          I'm actually correcting the wrong interpretation some people have, saying it's a happy ending where you beat the stain or w/e it's called, when in actuality it clearly shows that nothing you did mattered because space tentacles eat the world anyway.
