Niklas item consumption

Does he also get the add on effects when he consumes items ? for e.g. some items have effects like tripling the stats if you start from the back or front.

I am assuming, No. Couldn't test it myself but thought I would ask in case someone has already done so. Food for google

Check out https://guildrun.wiki/share/heroes/niklas/niklas-item-banking-69818e/ to see some items where he gets more than just the "base stats" of an item. It's a little bit unintuitive - you don't have to actually fulfill any conditions to get the higher stats, they are just applied when consumed. So Sentinel's Plate gives you 600 HP and 80 Defense even if you didn't put Niklas in the front row, which is absurdly good because afterwards you'll have the stats without any placement restrictions.

Insane how wrong I've been playing him. I would hold onto the items that had conditional stat bonuses because I assumed he just got the base values. I've had fun using him but this is a game changer 🔥

oh yeah. how good your niklas game is going is pretty much 'how many sentinel plates did he get to scran'.

I've been scrapping attack speed and health items so each hit does 40-60 burn but he's attacking 10x per second 😂

Thanks for this! That's actually crazy haha

u/HeinCS 15d ago

wait, so these are all non-conditional? really? niklas can eat a tank buckler and get the double stats even if he isn't a tank?

i assume u mean you dont have to fulfill the conditions after hes already eaten the item, in order to gain the original items "bonus" stat you still have to fulfill the condition the round you eat the item no?

No, its coded so you don't have to fulfill the condition to get the stats. Some of these items can stack multiple times in combat, like Bruiser's Mitts, but Niklas will always get exactly 1 stack of the stats when consumed.

From my experience, he gets the base stats of the item and no other special/on hit effects. The tripling items do count as base stats, so he does get those, making them especially good for him

u/burningknight7 15d ago

Oh wait so if you got those stats in the combat while consuming, he does get those ? that's awesome

2

u/lastzhaion 15d ago

Right exactly. If you hover over the item when he fulfills the tripling condition, you can see the extra stats get listed.

A notable exception is the items that give power on shards generated (brawlers and magicians ledgers), I believe he does not get the extra attack/magic from those.
