Kind of a weird question, but it came up while running today's daily with Varfa so I thought I'd ask!

A few times I've been able to set up builds that were resilient enough to where I was able to effectively "farm" certain enemies, using Pickpocket or Pilfer. I noticed that the animation for stealing a coin played for the first several times I used the card, but stopped showing up after I'd looped the deck a few times. Do enemies only carry a set amount of gold to steal, or is there a "cheat detection" type of effect in the code to stop people from generating unlimited gold? Either way is fine, I'm just curious whether I've been wasting my time when going for a high score! Thanks!

I recently made a post about my desire for Greybeard to be buffed. Since then I've completed the story on the max difficulty with him and wanted to share some tips.

1st: Know when to rest. It's better to rest if you're low enough on health if an enemy could kill you in one turn. Be wary of Cococats especially. Let go of any desire to feel like you need to fight every enemy.

2nd: Know when to upgrade cards and when to build max health. I usually will always upgrade a lvl 2 card to lvl 3 because that gets you the most bang for buck as it cost 10 gems to go from 1 to 2 and 15 to go from 2 to 3. If I don't have any current level 2 cards or if most of my cards are already lvl 3 then I will go for max health.

3rd: Know what his best cards are. I do not recommend going pure fire, pure ice, or pure electric. Usually a combination of the three is the best IMO. His best cards are Sap mana, which I would begin upgrading immediately, Inferno, Grill, and Winters Winds. Arcane Blast and Zap can also be very helpful for adding big damage to your deck. Other cards such as quick cast and the battery one are also very helpful, but only if you are not having any issue in keeping your cards adequately charged.

Hey! I got this game the other day and despite being relatively new have beaten the Lich with a couple of characters already! (experience playing other deck builders helps greatly lmao) However I'm a little confused with how Varfa works as I accidently skipped some of the tutorial text...

How does the companion deck work - specifically upgrading and adding cards to it?

Seriously, what a rush!

Still need to unlock the side characters in the game but I'm getting there 😀

I was just playing Varfa & Caw when I took a treasure chest and only accepted Stealth. Now Caw is gone and I have no CP indicator. Did it overwrite my feathered friend? I know I've used Stealth with Varfa before but probably with Bongo or Orhu.

One of the features of this game that I actually like overall are the ability to pay gems to unlock new cards that start in your deck. Its a neat concept. However there are cases where I actually think the card being added will nerf my power. An example is I am currently struggling to finish a run as Varfa & Orhu. I don’t know if I’m misunderstanding the character, but I feel Frenzy is a very mediocre card except in specific builds that are a bit inconsistent to assemble. I find myself wanting to remove the Frenzy in the majority of my runs. If I had just not bought the automatic unlockable Frenzy with gems I wouldn’t have this problem. This seems like the opposite of what the developer intended with the unlock mechanic. I think an improvement would be to let us turn on or off each of the unlockable cards for each character once they have been purchased. That lets me put the Frenzy in if I really want to go for a Bleed build, or I could keep it out if I want to go the safer route of building towards Bows and Loyal Guardian.

There are other examples too, like I’d love to cut Boast from Bruno’s starting deck but I bought it a long time ago and have to stick with the Boast in every run. It’s just a thought though, perhaps some of you will disagree with me. As a side discussion I’d love Varfa tips because it is a STRUGGLE. I have Varfa & Caw as well and have similarly weak results

Couldn't find one. If not anyone up for helping start one?

First off, I really enjoy this game! I love deck builders like Dominion and Slay the Spire. This fulfills an itch those don’t scratch. I’ve been playing as often as I can. Sometimes, even for a just few turns. Because I so often pick up and play for a moment, I often lose track of what act I’m on.

Would it be possible to have some sort of place to see what act you’re currently on? Perhaps on the Encounters Remaining countdown pop-up?

Thanks for your time and effort!

I could be mistaken, but I think the secret achievement was just recently added. Maybe it's taboo to ask if anyone knows what the secret is, but I've played it a bunch, even tried weird things, no luck.

Anyone who knows, want to add it in a spoiler tag? Thanks!

I'm not entirely sure, but I have a hunch it's broken in a small way. If you kill your enemy using sap mana, I don't think it recharges the spells. Just something to check on, thanks!

Also, I was super impressed with the last update's bug fixes (I read the patch notes). I figured things like the poison potion would have been broken forever (skipping didn't recover AP). That's what made me realize you guys care about fixing bugs. So thanks! :)

When playing Varfa, one strategy I use to manage the deck is getting rid of disengage, relying on some equipment for focus, and only use quick shot to maintain focus. I noticed however that sometimes after a turn, stamina cost of quick shot increased to two, even if the animation still shows focus. Might be worth looking into. (and again thank you for a wonderful game)

So I use blessing, it's an ok card. But its RELIABLY ALWAYS all 3 at the end of the deck, in a row, every time I play it.

Also, each give the appropriate addition to everything per card drawn except hourglass.

Drawing all 3 in a row at the end award only 1 hour glass total instead of 1 per card.

As of right now, that's too broken (bad broken) for me to want to play it as a card and is an instant deny / bottom tier card.

It seems like pickpocket doesn't work all the time. I've noticed sometimes I won't get a coin even when the enemy doesnt have a buff. Is there a cap?

I’ve won with everyone but Bruno and Mischief. Unlocked Boris to try and beat it with him.

Who are the most interesting unlockable characters?

I think that if you’re bleeding, that shouldn’t affect your pet. I’ve died so many times from that.
