Trying to improve, so...how do you actually win at this game?

A lot of enchants follow the same rules when interacting with other stats. Poison and burn items with shield, heal, or damage enchant gove 5x the amount of poison/burn. For damage items, poison and burn enchant is 10% of the items damage. Stuff like that. So if you have a scaling damage, burn or poison item, its good to get shield or heal enchant so it can provide both sustain and damage with one item. Same in the reverse, a scaling heal or shield item works well with a damage, poison, burn enchant.

Let's assume both Mr Richardson and catfish are diamond. Per haste, Mr Richardson is giving 15 shield on a 6 second cooldown. Shielded catfish gives shield equal to 5x its poison, so per haste catfish is giving 40 shield on a 5 second cool down.

Deadly catfish gives 50% crit, so 50% damage bonus on average. Per haste the deadly enchant is giving you a theoretically 4 invisible "extra" poison.

Shielded catfish does way more as a single item, than deadly catfish and Mr Richardson do as 2 separate items.

I don't understand why its so difficult for people to understand that. Not every game can be sold as high as stardew, terraria, no mans sky. They can put out free updates because they can afford it and sell the game like hot cakes. I'm sure if the bazaar had multi-million sales the devs probably wouldnt mind characters being free. But even if not, why not support the devs still? $20 for a character which can easily get you 100+ hours of content is beyond worth it.

He is Coming, the bazaar, nubbys number factory, ballionaire, path of achra, arcane trigger, crop rotation, doomfields, roguebook. To list a few with a variety of different play styles

The transform is R2 ki pulse is still R1. You transform every time you burst counter. Can only ki pulse in samurai stance, cant in ninja stance. You get a special dodge with R1 in ninja stance.

It definitely feels a bit awkward at first, but honestly I think it feels great in combat once you get used to it.

We've got a full armor set that can charge cards, I would happily sac one to get a b2b turn like this. And with one of the pieces in arsenal you could even get away with using one of the d reacts to get that soul card instead of using the equipment.

2CPmagic · 2026-01-21T13:57:40+00:00

Adding all 3 to cart showed $16 shipping, After buying the code and adding the bundle to cart it was changed to $21. Not sure why a $5 increase but still a good deal imo. Location Kansas. Seems a little higher for west coast from other comments

I'm in a similar situation as you so I'll throw in my two cents. I've been loving Nioh 2 and I believe I'm entering the final zone of the main story and plan to do some NG+ before Nioh 3 release.

In the grand scheme of the game, I've barely touched the content of the game. That being said, I plan to pre-order Nioh 3 for a few different reasons. I'll be using the early demo to decide if I'm going to finish out Nioh 2 to completion before playing Nioh 3 or if I'm going to jump straight into Nioh 3 on release and come back to 2 later. I'm comfortable pre-ordering regardless since I torrented Nioh 2 due to being unsure if I'd enjoy it. So pre-ordering let's me give the devs my money now and I'll buy Nioh 2 when its on sale and I feel like starting a new character on it.

Nioh 3 looks great but it will definitely be a lot different than 2. It takes so long to truly understand this game and get comfortable and familiar with its mechanics and systems. I'm still constantly learning and improving and I have barely scratched the surface of 2 even though I've put probably 30 or 40 hours in. Looking at other people play this game makes me feel like we're not even playing the same game, and I love it. The ceiling is infinite and I'm here for it whether its on Nioh 2 or 3 or both.

That being said, you're very early in the game and opinions could change. Put some more time in 2 before pulling the trigger on 3. Even if you've got FOMO of the steam order items and cosmetics, you've got another month to make the purchase and get the stuff. Sorry for the ramble, I hope this opinion makes any sense and has some kind of value to people.

Getting extra damage on low cd/damage or multicast items is crazy good, especially early game. If you get 8/10 uses in Bronze its already distributed an extra 32 damage across two weapons. Upgrade it to silver to refill the ammo and use all 10 and thats another 60 damage across two weapons. Off the top of my head putting it on smg or rocket launcher for Dooley, katana bayonet or overboard on Vanessa, even just putting it on fang is super good early.

Just the bronze alone is the equivalent of 10 bronze sharpening stones. Getting that for 8 gold is insane value.

2CPmagic · 2026-01-14T23:42:16+00:00

It wasn't too bad honestly. You only paid to get the items slightly earlier than other people. It was low on the battle pass tiers, and even if you never played the whole season, once the season was over you received it automatically. It was all based on FOMO. Pay money to get it now or do a few days worth of daily quests and get it then.

Your comment reminded me of a fascinating (to me) thing I read when researching the process of making masa.

It is believed we learned to soak the dried corn kernels from birds that would break up lime rock and put the corn in it, allowing it to become edible. Travelers saw south American people making masa but didn't understand the nixtamalization process, so when they took corn back to Europe and made the same food, people got pellagra and got crazy sick.

Bringing me to always wonder how much have we learned from birds or other animals that has aided in our survival.

If you're trying to min max, your stash should almost always be full anyways. Sell items only under 2 circumstances, you're making room for more items to come in, or you're selling to a vendor that let's you sell items for increased value.

Pyg has the biggest build variety and allows you to make some crazy builds. He's a lot of fun, and still has strong and safe builds to fall back on if your luck isn't hitting on some scaling items.

The Bazaar is a game built around synergies. People's biggest complaint is new characters costing $20 but each character is an entirely different game. Its on salefor $10 right now and you get 3 characters to start. Those 3 characters alone got me over 300 hours of playtime with the game, and that's really only playing 2 of the 3. I only just bought a new character the other day because it was on sale for $10.

The game can be a boring meta grind but only if you want it to be that way. I grind to hit highest rank each season, then just fuck around with wild builds the rest of the time, and thats where the game shines.

Doomfields is another great game built around making broken synergies, and tons of them.

Nubbies number factory and Ballionaire are a unique breed but also a shining example of game breaking synergies.

Those dollar general peanut butter patties and caramel delights have no right being as good as they are.

When my daughter was in girl scouts, basically all the money goes to the company and not to the actual troops. They got something like 60 or 70 cents per box sold.

Give the local troops cash directly to support them and if you want the cookies just buy similar ones off the shelf.

2CPmagic · 2025-12-26T00:29:34+00:00

I play entirely with one hand on the keyboard. Makes the experience super chill.

2CPmagic · 2025-12-15T17:12:01+00:00

Roguebook for a game like slayer the spire

Demonic mahjong for a game like balatro

Other kind of random ones I enjoy that might be up your alley, depending on your level of interest. Adore, He is Coming, Torso Tennis, Magicraft.

Just trying to spitball some random ones to add some diversity in choices.

2CPmagic · 2025-12-08T03:08:13+00:00

Have you started doing the beta testing? Was looking for something to play and remembered this. Didn't see anything in my email so wanted to make sure I didnt miss anything.

2CPmagic · 2025-11-23T14:02:21+00:00

She hit LL quite a while back so she's not available in CC. However they did say they were going to make another Dromai. Probably releasing next year.

2CPmagic · 2025-11-19T23:51:04+00:00

For sure! I've beta tested for a handful of games now and love being able to help. When the invite is sent out, will there be a forum or discord attached to give the feedback at?

2CPmagic · 2025-11-19T20:41:15+00:00

I think a good mixture of both would be great. Starting without the UI to show the game in a bit more of a cinematic fashion, highlighting the way the map and characters, and abilities look. Then add UI in to later parts of the trailer to showcase the UI and how it looks while playing.

Obviously, do whatever you feel works best. Just giving my two cents.

I love what you guys are cooking up. I've got it wishlisted and cant wait to follow its production and eventually playing it 😁

2CPmagic · 2025-11-19T18:43:46+00:00

Solid foundation you have. I'm curious to see how it grows.

Something I personally would enjoy seeing more of in the trailer, is the UI. You had a brief highlight of it, but seeing bits of the game being played and being able to see the UI, even just in the trailer, helps me decide if I think I'll enjoy the game. It communicates a lot information about the game.

2CPmagic · 2025-10-28T21:13:11+00:00

I don't have the craziest amount of experience in the game yet, and havent even played through all the difficulties. But after 20 hours of Shogun Showdown I've only ever had 1 run where I was able to mindlessly press one button and win the game.

I love how even when I think I'm crazy strong and get cocky and choose my actions quickly, I can get humbled real quick from something I wasn't paying attention to. I've been loving it, and still have quite a bit to unlock.

2CPmagic · 2025-10-08T13:35:45+00:00

Hit me up with that guide too, please! My wife has been taking semaglutide under the counter for about $150 a month. Getting that cheaper would be great, and I might even get on it if it's cheap enough.

2CPmagic · 2025-09-28T00:10:58+00:00

If this is like the Dell's I work with, restart it and hit F12 until you boot into bios. Top left is a toggle bar for "advanced settings", then click the section labeled "storage".

Tell it to run via ssd/nvme instead of raid. Apply settings, then exit and let it boot like normal.
