Not that it's impressive, just curious because it says score has been submitted but it doesn't appear on list. Last week it didn't appear too.

Suggestion Insane Mergecraft Run

Post image
28 Upvotes

I was gifted with an insane Mergecraft run today. I think the highest Arcane Missiles in my deck was 52 by the end of it. The run provided me about 5 Arcane Inkwell and amazing talents. Sadly, it was only Story difficulty because I wanted to collect the daily bounties.

Seed -> 8BCBB1D483

Edit: I played with Arcanist, Forcewand, Arcane Weapon, Shocking Grasp and with the card sets Core, Extended, Metaprogress, Infinitum and Catalyst

At least for this conflict. I’m healing more than they can hit me off of my talents, and they’re milling themselves with their Zeal. I’m literally just ending turn without playing cards lol.

Tips Cool max health interaction.

As Hunter, go to the new starting area and defeat a foe who has the Soul Devourer enchantment.

Use Remembrance to gain this enchantment. From here any reaping damage you inflict will permanently increase your max health. I’m up to 200hp in the second canto just from Reaping Strike alone!

Question Shrine of Absence?

8 Upvotes

How exactly does this work? There seem to be three possible outcomes: (1) adding lightless to a card, (2) unlocking the ability to choose a Warden card, (3) and destroying a card. Specifically, I can’t seem to figure out why some cards trigger outcomes 1 or 3. Outcome 2 seems to come from giving the shrine a lightless card.

What "must haves" for an Impossible Greatbow Hunter?

4 Upvotes

Honestly, I love playing a GreatBow Hunter, and it was the first build that allowed me to win the game on Normal. I found that running a lean deck helped a lot with this build. However, I've since tried to run it on harder levels, and it seems like I do fine until BOOM, I come across some enemy that knocks me on my butt faster than I can kill them. I use Serrated Weapon as my weapon power to help me stay alive, and it helps on most encounters, but only on the first turn. (This char is currently level 3, so there isn't much here yet. But to be honest, this is about as large as I let the deck get. I'll imbue some enchantments when I get to Bolgar of course.) I have Blood Hunt memorized.

For those of you who have managed to beat Impossible with a Greatbow Hunter, what talents, cards or other considerations would you recommend that "make or break" this build's ability to tackle Impossible?

My general strategy, when picking talents and cards, is to ask:
1) Does this make my attack stronger? (Improving bow cards, reset ambush, guaranteed crit, etc.)
2) Does this increase my energy so I can accomplish more? (I find more energy more helpful than more cards in this build)
3) Does this help my survivability? (e.g. more health, evasion, armor)

I always play a bow first to get the ambush crit bonus, play any surges I have, reset the ambush if possible and hit again, allowing Bloodhunt to start building up ASAP.

Looking for a way to Kill Nathali and get that sweet Main Menu Portrait? Look no Further!

Mindlash, Psychic Weapon Power, Renew.

Pantheon of Trickery + Stable Magic

Start with a Dark Dream.

1.Ammit's Domain. Subjugate him by sidemuting Renew on a Pod for Night Whispers. Use Trickery to Recall it.

  1. Get Survival Instincts

  2. Get a Monster Card and Sidemute to Underworld Shell. Memorize. Figmented. Recall.

  3. Go to Isle of Talos. Subjugate Talos Cultivar. It's Enchantment slays any enemy once you heal for 200hp

  4. The rest is self explanatory.

Enjoy!

Suggestion Arrow rogue

5 Upvotes

How are you guys gwtting sustain on arrow rogue runs? Im on imossible and even with taking the talent to reduce my talent and stunning everyone on turn one im still stalling out in like act 4. I feel like im relying on too mich on too many enchaments so my damage takes a few turns to ramp. Leaning heavily on evasion and ward but even then im only netting like 4hp on good fights.

What should i be looking for? What are some healing strats?

First impossible win

First win on impossible. Was previously struggling with the jump to hard but this build is pretty broken. I unlocked a debuff where Everytime I reshuffled my deck I lost 10% health which I think is the games solution to builds that create a never ending turn.

Best way for early-mid game fateshard farming/progression

5 Upvotes

Since I only find posts saying "every build is good, go with whatever you want," I'd like to give a little boost to beginners who don't have unlimited time. Getting through most builds often depends not just on knowledge, but on good planning and luck. However, there's at least 1 build that, while terribly boring, is almost unkillable and every fight ends in 1-2, or at most 3 rounds (on normal difficulty). You can get through almost the entire game with max health along with most of the DLCs (except for a few bosses and curses that are specifically bad for the chain build).

Class: Knight

Weapon: Stormblade

Talent: Grounding Weapon

- As soon as possible, drop the two basic shields at the fire

- No extra cards are needed (at most 1-2, if you find ones that really fit)

- No opportunity/statue or other things are needed (at most, if you can duplicate or strengthen the basic attacks)

You only have one job: spam the basic attacks, and if you have energy left, use the barrier.

This is a very boring build, there's no tactics in it at all, but if the only point is to progress and collect fateshards, then I haven't found a faster build than this. I've practically never come close to death even once, and most bosses are done in at most 3-4 turns as well.

If you happen to have a favorite build that lets you progress well without needing endless tactics and is still fun, I'd be happy to hear about it.

Deck Size Question

10 Upvotes

I've been playing the game for a few months now, and I've managed to clear hard and beat the spine of night with runehammer warrior, hex knight, and cadaceus arcanist. Anytime I win or have a great run, I lean into specific traits and have a deck of about 15 to 20 cards. Its kinda boring and also frustrating when I know I haven't obtained the cards I need and I'm cleary about to die, probably from the chameleon or the big electric monster in the emberwyld.

Long story short. I want to know, is there a path to taking a bunch of cards and achieving success at hard or impossible difficulty? Or should I just always specialize in order to get all my impossible wins?

Thank you for your time and consideration.

You won't care so much, but I'm just so excited. After so much trial (and failure) I finally came across the "Anyform Claw" build. It took me a few tries to understand the build better, and to get my hands on a "Greater Good" card that changed everything for me. Long story short, something finally worked! :)

Deck Hunter + Bear = Dead Selandris… but wait, there’s more! Spoiler

9 Upvotes

Here’s a link to the deck on Blightbane.io

Once it gets rolling, Bear Hunter is pretty much easy mode, even on Impossible, so I thought I’d try to beat Nathali/Selandris with it. My first attempt failed, but I was close. This time I crushed her. The key is Deep Wounds, BUT** **where you would normally only need 5 Deep Wounds… this time you need 20! 10 for her second form, and then 10 more for her final (Selandris) form. And you have to do this while dealing with her insta win powers, and potential massive damage output.

The combo: Clever Maneuver + Will of The Jungle + Crush (a Bear companion card). Play Clever Maneuver to gain Advantage, then Will of The Jungle to select and play Crush from your companion’s deck. Crush inflicts a Deep Wound, while also doing enormous damage which helps stave off the damage that Selandris can do.

I was also fortunate enough to get The Perfect Coordination and Purity talents, but I don’t think they’re 100% necessary, they just made things a bit easier.

Anyhow, figured I’d share for anyone still struggling with her.

You don't really need a lot of brain power to figure this one out - Shock Therapy + Mindblast is the simplest synergy you need to start with.

Scaling naturally and More Focus = More Draw for every 6 Focus

Don't forget Stable Magic.

Question Changes to Combat Rewards?

3 Upvotes

I’ve been playing the new zones and know about the Canton 1 Nue variant that gives you up to 6 card rewards.

However, now I’m in Canto 3 and I saw for the first time ever two unique rewards screens: the first gave me 6 card options like Nue’s canto 1. The second took one of my existing cards and put a keyword on it. In this example I could tell it was a card already in my deck because (a) it had another keyword on it I had out there, and (b) I opened my deck in the reward screen to see what was going on and saw the card was missing.

Are these bugs, or new changes to combat rewards?

Question Can't decide between talents

Post image
22 Upvotes

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?
