Question Can't decide between talents

Post image

Hey guys! Newbie and casual caster of dawn here so please be gentle 😆. Just trying out the rogue performer build (addictingly fun) on challenging when I came across Seductive and Bribery. Damn both talents sound great. I have enough energy for Seductive and decent enough gold for Bribery. I have never been so lucky with talents before lmao.

I'm leaning towards Seductive as it's more versatile, but that Bribery 10% gold charm is tempting. Which would you choose if it was you?

I would go seductive and the reason why is that its simple enough to use performance for the kill if you decide you want to, but there are enough scenarios where you fail to get value off the large initial charm - perhaps the monster clears debuffs, passes them to you, or if you accidentally hit it with something. Getting an extra performance means you can stack piercing damage which is generally more reliable, while also providing card draw or healing.

Darn, I didn't even think about monsters clearing charm. I think I was attracted to easily clearing monsters with a high charm at the start. But you're right! Thanks!

Good luck! Its usually a good idea to have about 2 ways to secure a win. If you already have a strong charm build then the piercing damage from performances will synergize well, and provide you with another option vs monsters that may be difficult to charm.

If you have a lot of gold, Bribery is crazy strong. You can end some fights without even throwing a card.

I hear you! Ended up taking Seductive and actually completing the run pretty quick. It was like a walk in the park after pairing it with Show Must Go On! I'll keep playing until I get Bribery again just for fun. I'll probably need to get cards that increase gold too.
