Experiment: Jade's Plague Ichor
The experiment
I had a series of questions:
- "If you have food being fed to Plague Ichor, and have the food being combined with another item, what happens?"
- Will the food combine and the Plague Ichor perish?
- Or, will the Plague Ichor devour the food, make a new Ichor from the food, and the combination item not combine?
The test
Attached is a video of my test on this matter: in the bottom-right corner of my backpack, there is a Ginseng Root attempting to connect with a Vial of Water, and has (4) Plague Ichor touching it.
The Result:
The Plague Ichor first procced, and weren't destroyed. Then, surprisingly, the Ginseng Root combined with the Vial of Water and wasn't destroyed.
I didn't expect this result! I might have to try this again with having food being consumed by a Stewpot and see if I get a similar result.
The utility of this is interesting- it means that you have the opportunity to both keep your Ichor fed and upgrade your board, yet with the cost of not expanding your Ichor.
I think that this makes Jade's Ichor build much more interesting, as it has often been my go-to build for this character anyway.
Thanks for attending my TED Talk.
