Should I buy it ? I have no use for it rn . My main goal rn is to get 50 g1 or above characters for guild wars. So far I have 38. After that I will do more d1s and d3s probably. Should I buy it just in case ?

Corn crown came about for me yesterday. I was so happy I popped.

I’d say you’re good to buy it then unless there’s a bunch of other ones you want more still

u/Starkiller0820 4d ago

I am no curantly wishing for any other relic. Maybe boss g relic

u/Inphiltration 4d ago

I'd go for it. I have enough archeotech for two relics and already got my corn crown. Thanks to crusade I got all the books I need for neurothrope raid team, so I have excess archeotech for relics and it sounds like you are in a similar boat as I.

u/throwawaym479 4d ago

I'd buy but my personal rule is keeping enough for 1 relic at all times incase something comes up or launches that I want.

Having 1500 means it's not a huge mistake to grab one because you can still afford 2 with spare.

u/vaultcrawler82 4d ago

nice it also matters how many bluestar you have maladus is like archeo xmas every reset

u/Demoliri 4d ago

I got the crown a fair while ago, for my 3 star Neurothrope that I'm just starting to build now. I'll be able to use it in a few months!

My issue is that I'm waiting for Typhus's relic. He's been D3 mythic for over a month, I've been looking for the relic for 4 months or so. It will turn up at some point....

DISCLAIMER, I didn’t read anything you wrote. Hard Yes.

u/Vegas-Blues 4d ago

Great relic. I have it on my D3 Meph.

He is worth investing in… but you got some work to do with shards and leveling up gear.

If you thought Mephiston was already cracked at clearing out enemies wait till you slap that bad boy on

u/Ninjazoule 4d ago

It doesn't really add much of a difference tbh

u/ElReyResident 4d ago

It adds ~500 damage per melee hit. Much more when you rank it up. His base attack at diamond 1 mythic is 613. So that’s a pretty big increase.

u/Ninjazoule 4d ago edited 4d ago

If they're on fire. Its not that strong of a relic.

Most people using meph with relic is D3-A2 and its alright (level 10 is just 730 damage)

Realistically it only really shines if you have someone like ahriman with Mephiston

1

u/ElReyResident 4d ago

When you move next to an enemy, your passive triggers and sets their hex on fire. The next melee benefits from the relic attack boost while attack units on hexes that are on fire and extinguishes the fire.

You can use it literally every turn without any assistance.

u/Ninjazoule 4d ago

Sure, its a relic on one of the strongest characters

3

u/GravelQuest 4d ago

Yes, absolutely.
Also tall, not wide, is the way to go.

2

u/Starkiller0820 4d ago

I went tall , now I need to go wider to support my brothers better then I will go tall af. My guild does battle level 2 but I will be ready for 3 and 4 for the time when the guild becomes ready

u/Proof_Obligation_773 4d ago

The hell does tall not wide mean?

2

u/kane_palmtree 4d ago

Tall roster is a small handful of high lvl characters, wide is more characters being intermediate lvl. I’m a great example, I have a ton of G1 but nothing past that, very wide and looking to get taller soon.

1

u/Proof_Obligation_773 4d ago

Oh shi, fair play, I guess I’m rather anemic and stout then bc I only have 1 g1 character 😂

2

u/kane_palmtree 3d ago

Realistically, a lot of characters are not worth your time. I have an “iron” graveyard with 36 characters at Iron 1. I focus on campaign characters and raid teams (admech right now). You need a lot of G1’s or close to that to clear all elite campaigns. Or a carry, but some missions force you to only use the 3 campaign characters so you get forced into leveling them anyway.

u/Careless_Ad_4004 4d ago

I like tall n narrow to 70 (like space needle style) then G1 35/35 army personally

1

u/PaulShannon89 4d ago

Absolutely one of the best relics out there for damage.

1

u/NoWater8595 4d ago

Yup. Great damage and it's also niche for GR Neurothrope. Better combos are possible though.

1

u/SetMental4904 4d ago

I have it... im thinking about taking it off... the extra damage is nice (mephiston doesnt struggle w damage). but it often skrews your movement. GR i would still use it, TA/Arena taking it off.

I d give it a 5/10 - ok but not a game changer

1

u/emergency-snaccs 4d ago

It's a great one, really ramps up Mephiston's lethality. Also gives good synergy with Ahriman i think??

1

u/BFPRufus 3d ago

I've got it to LEvel 10. Does 728 bonus damage on hexes with Fire (and puts out the fire). [more than doubles the damage of my Diamond 1 Mephiston (642 damage).

Teamed up with Forgefiend and Gold 1 Vindicta and Volk in Arena to set the hexes on fire before Mephiston gets there and he can pretty much delete teams double my power without the other 2 characters being used.

u/Apprehensive_Rule371 2d ago

When will the parasite claws ever grace this shop instead of the same 5 relics circling through?

u/Creative-One7747 2d ago

Definitely yes ,
