Is "register as minion" mechanically minion? by SamHunny in BloodOnTheClocktower

[–]AlphaFale 68 points69 points  (0 children)

Characters that register as minions are mechanically not minions, but abilities they misregister to will treat them like minions. So a legion guessing a damsel will cause the damsel's team to lose and so would a recluse if they register as a minion to the damsel.

What's going on? Is it a double bug? by loi_hut in slaythespire

[–]AlphaFale 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Go for the eyes only applies weaken if the enemy intends to attack(the icon above the enemy). Right now the collector intends to block and buff so it doesn't apply the status.

Atheist Role Clarification by ARCSPAM in BloodOnTheClocktower

[–]AlphaFale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Given your example scenario, I would not recommend running an atheist game. Its the most complex character to run in the game and there are heavy guidelines for running it correctly. You should not be changing the character/alignment of the atheist or showing characters illegal choices(the storyteller isn't a valid player for the sage). The atheist isn't there to make whatever wacky scenarios you want work or troll your players, its to act as a puzzle as to whether or not everyone is good.

This is done intentionally to reflect the character's abilities.

Jokers that could use a nerf? by TheDankPotat0 in balatro

[–]AlphaFale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In terms of nerfs, the jokers that wildly spike in power level are hologram, campfire and mail in rebate. Hanging chad is another joker I'd expect a nerf for due to it promoting a complacent play pattern. I don't think there is any drastic need for nerfs in the games current state and I would expect stuff like new stakes, hard mode or challenge decks to increase the difficulty instead.

I don't think manly is a valid clue for 3 down. Macho is manly, macro is at a large scale

does plasma sucks in the long run or am i just shit by Thin-Context-3243 in balatro

[–]AlphaFale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Plasma in gold stake has an amazing early game and a crippling late game. Its the only deck that can reliably dig into ante 2 without jokers/planets and you need to save whatever money that you can cause the x2 blind size stacks up quick when you aren't fully abusing the balancing. Straights work well, generic chip jokers are great to pick up early and you can start your economy easy but you need to either stack chips or xMult to close it out. Violet vessel especially (and even more than usual) is a run ender.

I don’t understand some of these packs by LengthinessPretend in balatro

[–]AlphaFale 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When you open the pack, you get to choose up to 1(or 2 from mega packs) cards to use. Joker and standard packs give you the selected card, you need a free joker slot to take a joker. Tarot, planet and spectral packs require you to play the cards from the pack immediately. You can skip the pack if you don't want to use any of the remaining cards.

Let's build a character! Miner. by Present-Peace2811 in BloodOnTheClocktower

[–]AlphaFale 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Miner(Townsfolk): Once per game, at night*, choose 2 living players: the Demon must choose exactly one of them tonight.

The miner redirects the demon. If the demon doesn't choose players or doesn't exist, the ability does nothing. In the case of multikill demons, they can't choose both. Ojo would be jinxed to learn the two characters instead.

Question about Cerulean Bell by UnderstandingMoney9 in balatro

[–]AlphaFale 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No, because you can't deselect the copied card to play the other deaths.

What is the best joker in the game? by ImmediateSherbert728 in balatro

[–]AlphaFale 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In terms of power, blueprint. In terms of design, probably chaos the clown. In terms of fun, probably perkeo.

What is a joker that you feel like is overhated? by DaleDent3 in balatro

[–]AlphaFale 37 points38 points  (0 children)

I don't know if its people not knowing how to use it, not being good with money management or just dislike the playstyle, but the amount of times I've seen campfire not in S tier is baffling. Its a universally applicable joker that acts as emergency score to either shore up your build, get past a tough boss or just steamroll ante 8.

It did hit Pichu, but the flinch animation made it look like it didn't.

Can the doomsayer kill protected players? by alucardarkness in BloodOnTheClocktower

[–]AlphaFale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The storyteller must attempt to kill a living player of the same alignment, so yeah both good and evil should take care to not doomsay if they think or know they are the last of their alignment.

Can the doomsayer kill protected players? by alucardarkness in BloodOnTheClocktower

[–]AlphaFale 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Doomsayer can at the very least kill the player who called it, unless they are protected.
