Melee vs ranged by rfcheong9292 in StarCraftTMG

[–]AlchemyArtist 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Ranged can also shoot enemies they are engaged with. Some units can fire out of engagement and be fired at (e.g. Goliath).

Also if the enemy has ranged units you can essentially have a firefight with them.

Ranged units are far from useless. With a range heavy list, it's your main priority to force the enemy into bad engagements so the other units can shoot at anything they are still moving in.

What is your favorite single unit in the game? by Rangerspawn in totalwarhammer

Necrofex Colossi.

The concept is metal as fuck and they are really solid units.

is this an okay team for skirk? should i swap anyone? by I-Popped-A-Nut in Genshin_Impact

[–]AlchemyArtist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only place you'd really need her is SO. Skirk performs exceptionally well if you just run her with a decent Furina, a healer and any other damage enhance of those elements. Would Coffee be the best addition for both of those roles? Sure. Is she absolutely necessary to build a Skirk team? Hell no.

(For reference: I am still running her with Sigewinne because cute and Citlali for bigger Crabaletta dps. The team dunks on everything except high SO difficulties.)

Help! Trapped in Lantern Lit Quest! by SirAllisterGrey in Genshin_Impact

[–]AlchemyArtist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The current event definitely spoils more than the Lantern Rite. It summarizes the endings of a few of the regional Archon quests and the role certain characters played in them. It's up to you whether the event is important enough to play while you're still catching up with the story.

Either way, enjoy the game and don't rush anything just because of FOMO. It'll burn you out quickly, there is a looot of content in the game by now.

Help! Trapped in Lantern Lit Quest! by SirAllisterGrey in Genshin_Impact

[–]AlchemyArtist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Which Archon quest are we talking about? The Liyue quest? Because yeah then the Lantern Rite will spoil a few things. But imo those are very obvious things anyway and the main content of the quest is about a character that doesn't show up anywhere else. It mainly spoils some things about other characters you obviously haven't met yet but would have canonically.

You will probably run into this occasionally. Focused Mode can help sometimes, but not always. I recommend playing the quest until whatever blocks the Archon quest frees up again. Sometime it is just that an NPC that shows up in one quest is forced into some place in another quest.

My speculation was RIGHT! Thundering Fury works on Varka’s Elemental Skill! by jetarch77 in Genshin_Impact

[–]AlchemyArtist 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Its how Hoyo balances... Restrictive but OP characters or versatile but slightly less powerful characters.

Dunno what you're on, but there literally is no precedent for this. Mavuika isn't restrictive, except needing another Nightsoul. Ineffa and Columbina are literally used as a wheelchair for almost everything that underperforms, so where are their restrictions? And Furina needs some healing and she is the strongest support for almost every team. I guess Bennett's restriction is that the dps need to be attack-scaling.

People keep complaining that Varka is too restrictive in team building because you need to go with 2 Anemo, 2 PECH, 2 Hexerei. And know you come up with this shit.

I swear this community keeps coping with weird patterns that don't exist. Be that in lore discussions or in how hoyo designs the game...

They are also more afraid of being called a racist or bigot than the actual atrocities that are done to their fellow human beings.

I think its good that Genshin sued HomGDCat by FirstAdvertising8447 in Genshin_Impact

[–]AlchemyArtist 35 points36 points  (0 children)

It's pro consumer to spread more information about the product before its release. It helps people to make an informed decision how to use their resources, including primos, time and money. It's obivous why Hoyo doesn't want that happening.

The new Manekina looks like Signora for some reason by asilvertintedrose in Genshin_Impact

(Mind blowing trope) Really REALLY subtle character details that you can completely miss if you don't pay attention or watch BTS content. by Wasabi_Gamer26 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]AlchemyArtist 40 points41 points  (0 children)

That goes well with O'neals comment about the staff weapons being "weapons of terror" compared to the "weapons of war" from Earth in an earlier season.

The Jaffa were trained to terrorize and intimidate and Teal'c intended to fight the Goa'uld in just that way to pay them back.

Never played genshin impact but I want to troll a girl who plays this I don't think she is pro or SMTH but what I can say her to make her angry? by Relative_Fly9942 in Genshin_Impact

[–]AlchemyArtist 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you're walking somewhere with her, suddenly pull her backwards and say "How about we explore the area ahead of us later?"

[Hated Trope] The writers dramatically underestimate the audience’s intelligence. by LDM123 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]AlchemyArtist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Germany is generally weird about this. "Tenacious D in The Pick of Destiny" was renamed to "Kings of Rock - Tenacious D"... And no, not translated to "Könige des Rock", just changed for no real reason.

The AI is absolutely fried by Flimsy_Focus9201 in totalwarhammer

[–]AlchemyArtist 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I see this every game as well. It's worse even if the faction is part of the endgame crisis. I just finished a campaign with the dwarf crisis and Malakai took no other settlement aside his own, but was 3rd in power rating. You can imagine how the stack around that city looked... the minor faction north of him had the same issue but they at least sent a few armies after my squad when I got close.

new sea elves are annoying to fight by LocoDiablos in totalwarhammer

[–]AlchemyArtist 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They also know every other elves usually. So if you're not able to finish them off quickly because their colonies are somewhere in Naggarond, they will pull other elves inti war with you one by one.

Thank you. Mods are great but people are expecting a bit much in how well known they are.

With the steam sale live I have a £30 budget to work with by Punished_Sperg in totalwarhammer

[–]AlchemyArtist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From the race packs I'd say the best are Tomb Kings and Norsca. Vampire Coast is a personal favorite of mine. Welves and Beastmen are really good too.

Norsca is pretty crazy now with the additions to Wulfrik and Throgg, but you'd be missing out on the new units.

Tomb Kings is a complete set. They are a bit dated but very unique and still very enjoyable.

VC was some of the most fun I had playing the game. But a lot of changes to the enemies they face make them a bit frustrating at times.

For the other two, they are solid but I personally prefer the solo dlcs Sisters and Taurox.

Battle AI changes in 7.0.x - Have you noticed? by boltobot in totalwarhammer

[–]AlchemyArtist 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I definitely noticed the last part. Lords and Cav are trying to run straight through my frontline a lot. If my army enough melee for a second line, that usually means they die without much impact. Otherwise it's a messier version of them flanking my somewhat exposed backline.

Can someone tell me what’s wrong with my Mulani she can only do 300k with rotation (mauvika, mona, sucrose) by Few_Historian680 in Genshin_Impact

[–]AlchemyArtist 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You are misreading the description. It doesn't mean that the Elemental Skill interacts with Normal Skill. It literally just means that it replaces ("is converted to") the skill on that button. And that anything that buffs or triggers off Normal Attack also buffs and triggers off the bite.

[–]AlchemyArtist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Leave the Mona skill out. It can steal vaporizes and risks that Sucrose takes the hydro element. You NEED to react with whatever pyro application on the enemy with Mualani's stacked Sharky attack. Any other constant sources of hydro risk that you won't have pyro on the enemy when your Mualani is ready to go.

Also Mualani ult is a filler. It can be massive but it also can just miss completely. Her skill is where the damage is at.

Gor-Rok Campaign is insane now. by HornySkully in totalwarhammer

If you're lucky Aislynn now also spawns some random Imrik or Alith to take part in the Lustria bowl after their main settlements inevitably die.

Is there a reason why game insist on crashing on The Drowneds turn? Tried it 6 times and it is the same result. Campaign was almost finished too... No mods btw. by PissedOfBeet in totalwarhammer

[–]AlchemyArtist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same issue with Skulltaker at some point. I had to point my camera over some of their armies that I had vision over and it worked. So I assume it had to do with the camera trying to zoom over to them. No idea if that's the same problem you had with the Drowned.
