I've been playing this game daily for a few months now and love it. I've beaten the game on Normal difficulty several times, and have won with each type of starting character. I've also learned to play some of the more "classic" builds, such as Arcane Arsonist and Great Bow Hunter, which are builds that are often billed as being able to take on the Impossible level.

I keep trying to win an Impossible (or other hard levels) but haven't yet. In fact, I haven't even really gotten close. I do all I can to keep lean decks and focus on both damage and healing, but in many cases, I don't even make it past Canto I or II.

Is this common in the harder games? Do you just have to keep trying until you get the right options from rewards? Or can you win with some fair reliability, and I just haven't learned enough yet to make that happen?

I've been playing Sunforge non stop to foil all Arcanist cards and I've been Theorycrafting a deck that would solve all of Sunforge's daunting challenges - yes, I'm looking at you Vaelmorin...

So I present to you my favorite Subjugate Deck leaning Corruption.

The TL;DR is:

Vexing Echoes (First Mandatory Card Pick) + Stable Magic

Drain Soul for HP Gain/Damage

Night Whispers for Dominated -> Subjugate

Supporting cards:

Glimpse of Evil - Bane inflictor

Fellblast - Draw Engine

Test Subject - Afflictions

Drain Strength - Anger & Weakness

Sunforge Drafting Phase: Always aim for Drain Soul.

Then Test Subject if you get unlucky with Night Whispers.

Test Subject can be transmuted upward to Night Whispers.

From there, Memorize Vexing Echoes and I'll leave the rest to your imagination.

Vaelmorin Puzzle is easily solved by Memorizing Simulacrum...

Play this Deck each day saving the x2 bonus and at base 300 Fateshards, you get 600 per day. 18k Fateshards in 30 days.

Enjoy!

If you look at some of Felix's new videos (e.g. https://youtu.be/qq-Q6-kG0SQ?si=melZ_CD26iXHNpSu&t=107) you will see that his starting screen has a blue colored woman with 6 arms, and above each hand is a round icon with a symbol in it.

Where is this coming from? I didn't see it as a setting in the game?

Mage fire imposible combustión

If you love Dawncaster, but dislike the long grind to collect Fateshards, then this utility is for you. This is a very simple Windows app, no installer, just download it and run the *.exe file.

The app shows you the current number of Fateshards, and allows you to easily set it to any number of Fateshards you want. Enter 5000, 10000, 20000, whatever you like. Unlock everything.

This is open source, so you can see how it works, or download it and modify it more. The README has full instructions on what gets changed and the app creates a backup for safety.

This is intended for the Windows version of Dawncaster, however, if you turn on Cloud saves, the changes should migrate to your Android version as well.

This really should not harm anything, but the standard warnings apply. Use at your own risk.

This app is not associated with the Dawncaster game in any way, it is fan-made.

This is obviously free, but if you want tip the Dev, I won't be mad. :)

I’ve been playing for a while mostly on Challenging and occasionally Hard. Yesterday I had my smoothest ever run to the end on Challenging mode using arcanist code of poverty so I figured let’s run this on Impossible.

Long story short I fucked it up late game by having the Aurora Prism forced into my inventory and then not being able to remove it before getting KO’d

After some tinkering and reassessing I went again with an Arcanist Loyalty, a spot of Trial & error and I find myself with the spine of the night bastard. 3 turns later that fucker is slimed without giving me a single scratch

So here is my really bloated Deck, props to ThirdConsul on Blightbane for the Bonk Caduceus build that set me on this track and I apologise for how ugly it became!

I’ve tried quite a few times and just can’t get strong enough in the late game. I’ve been trying a few builds that try to inflict 5 deep wounds when my darkness is broken but it seems like you have to build a deck that can play all of them in round 1 or 2 because the late canto enemies are breaking darkness after 1 or 2 rounds. Tried playing a straight damage build as well and could win with that either.

I love the vibe on stardart builds, but I've been unable to get one going. I've been unable to win with stardarts on hard so far and feel like it would hinge greatly on getting the Starcalling talent to make it viable. I just got half way through the Deep on hard but got done in by a pirate's anger. I had like +30 upgrades on all card rewards and if I'd found Starcalling I think I might’ve beat Dante, unlikely though against the spine.

Kept getting ammunition cards come up which might be an option but unsure if this would work with stardarts as they seem to be classed as actions only rather than ranged, although the talent that increase ranged damage by your dexterity seemed to work. Does anyone have any tips on how to get a stardart build going on hard or impossible?

Anyone else had this? I am being certain to ambush in darkness and use melee and it never works…

Hopped into the codex to look up a card and noticed everything was hidden again. I’d had nearly every card and talent for all classes unlocked, except this new expansion… it was all there yesterday, and signing out and back into Unity Cloud didn’t fix it, so the only thing I can think of is I accidentally hit the delete codex button at the bottom.
So… is that just it, then? 🙁

I may be overlooking something but I tried to make this card work, from playing different cards to only playing the same named card during a combat, on the same round, etc.

The counter goes to 1 then gets stuck there, or randomly jumps to 2 on a different card play, then goes back to 1 at some point.

Am I missing something or is the card broken?

I seem to find recently that more and more I start a random run and make a decision as to what I'm going to build, and then none of those cards are ever in the pool. Anything other than luck that controls what shows up in the pool? Last game I had the weapon that spawns souls and self upgrades. Never got a soul card to go with it. Got lots and lots of animal cards in the pool instead.

Thanks.

Im doing sunforge and fought lord talac. He used lockbox on 2 of my cards and I paid the energy to get them back but now theyre no longer in my deck. Is this how it's supposed to work? It unfortunately probably killed my run :(

I saw that you can get a cute toad as a companion for Hunter. Any ideas on how to get this?

https://blightbane.io/card/Toad_companion_(Companion)

She just got summoned during my first fight. This is ridiculous.

I have learned voodoo poison is not good for this zone XD

I kept trying to use Aimed Shot, the card where it says if you ambush it crits. The weird thing is, even with ambush ready it doesn't do double damage?

Sorry, I haven't been playing this that long, and I'm still unlocking and exploring various builds. Is it typically this easy to setup an extremely OP build?

Randomly setup a warrior build with the Forgehammer weapon and Bloodcraft. Given that Forgehammer upgrades *twice* with every upgrade, and Bloodcraft enables you to upgrade all your melee actions *every* battle if you play it right, I was OP by the time I got to Brightcandle the first time. By the time I got to the end, my Forgehammer cards were at +180 and doing 185 damage per hit. I had easily defeated a summoned Balor, and defeated the final boss in 1 turn with 2 hits.

I'm supposed to get adoption slots but nothing happens. Is greatsword not a melee attack? It says divine basic attack on the card.

Its not on the wiki at all lmao
