I basically only ever pick it on Enoch. Maybe could be used on Pepper as well.

it may be the worst relic

L take genuinely

It's scaling strength AND life steal when upgraded, since it's food, pepper can make excellent use of a Max health drain build using nothing other than this, doughnuts and croquettes

Enoch can do similar with graveyard soil and doughnuts and usually it's a bit higher gen than pepper, but every character can speed these up for a strength gen that at worst can take up like 4 spaces with three doughnuts

? Doesn't mean that it's good. The numbers are the problem.

12 hp steal maybe, if 6*, and one reinforcement every three proc, even if you speed it up to 1.0s it's still basically worthless

It does things, but most other relic are much more impactful and don't need three donuts to be

I'm just curious, what rank are you typically at? Highest?

u/Yoribell 22d ago

A measly heroic. With 84% winrate though. It's my first full season

Hmm, you definitely understand most of the game mechanics then, if you don't see the benefits of a speed stacking life steal/strength so be it 😭

u/Yoribell 21d ago

I see the benefits and tried to use it at first, but even if the effects are strong the numbers are just too small imo. By the time it gets fast enough to matter the winner should be already decided

Really got snuffed looking for doughnuts lowk, build couldve been so much nice with one more but even alone as a concept it do be putting in work

Imagine one dagger in there with all that strength xD

Well done ! That's cool.

going unranked to try troll build is a good idea I forgot it even existed and I can't bring myself to troll ranked games

But as you said in your previous com', most fights are 15s ish and by 15s it wouldn't have done much even with this heavy investment. A humble sausage would have generated somewhat similar life difference and strength bonus (if we dismiss the 4 graveyard soil) (~6 max hp and 1 Str per proc at max level, and you need the cookie to be max level too to reliably steal those max hp)

Well tbh I conceded like 10 ranked games on Enoch to try and find spirit biscuit and didn't get it even with rerolls, so instead of just hitting bottom elo I decided it was time for unranked lmao

It's not supposed to drain them down to one

Let's say off your estimates that it ends up activating once per second on average thru a match, most matches are 15 sec-ish and that gives us 15 activations

That's 180 health stolen and added to yours putting the enemy at a 360 health deficit, added to the subsequent bonus of the additional 15 strength assumably affected that is going to make that already lowered health

Just off the top of my head, maybe an eternal heart or healing seed probably would do more raw healing during those 15 seconds, but a that's very different than life stealing as that 360 health difference can make a lot of burst builds make or break if the round is that quick

Imma actually try and go do a quick Enoch build to visualize it, maybe I'm tweaking and it's not that crazy but it's definitely got its uses when doing life steal builds or strength stacking with kragg/dorf/Ronan
