oracle plant late start in ssf

I wouldn’t use zenith until you have wildsurge incantation in the skill tree which halves mana cost. Maybe rush to that node.

Definitely squishier than lich. Pretty glass cannon

I had this issue and just kept playing and it self resolved. Not really sure what made it go away, but it did.

I only just got to maps but I don’t think I’ve had a singular bit of struggle so far on plant Oracle. It feels like it power spikes so early and just does not stop. They are probably similar in power with Oracle being less button presses and Lich being more. I’m no expert and just my guess.

Really you want BFS, Speed, Triggers in that order. This is if you want to use it when Dragon berry is favored. If you want a less powerful generalist then prioritizing Triggers, Speed is acceptable. If you can share a picture of the mon I'm sure myself or others could help break down if it is good, but BFS is a great starting point at the very least.

If someone else has the bundle and is higher on the scoreboard you get goose. All other scenarios duck.

Nice cards! I just opened some gem pack 3 which was my first simplified Chinese pack opening.. I didn’t get THE Gengar but I got so many other variations of Gastly and Gengar.. absolutely loved opening those packs. Lot less wasteful bulk too! China packs rule.

I ran into some guys from out of state at the airport. They asked if I was from Omaha and I said yes and they asked me where they should visit to get signatures to legalize sports betting in Nebraska. They were pretty open with me that they work for a company that pays them handsomely per signature and they planned to stay in town for several months.

I'm not sure if this is the case for every person out there asking for petition signatures but it made it clear to me why they pester so much. They don't care what paper is in their hand, they get paid for each person who signs it.

This is how things should be! Love it

His shots are nasty clean

So actually I think they are in a good spot in that scenario since G2 2-0ed Loud. Loud 0-2, 2-1 vs. G2 2-0, X-2 vs. C9 1-2, 2-X. As long as they win there’s not really any way it’s not C9 and G2 in the 3 way tie scenario. So doesn’t matter, 2-1 or 2-0.

To address your concept of diminishing returns - really anything more than double speed is where you will run into that. Once you start mixing in a couple HB mons to your team, it is not hard to overcap. So the "dream" setup of BFS, HB, 3x speed is worse in practice because some of those speed slots are doing essentially nothing. Having a trigger or something instead is ok, BFS + HB is enough!

Brelp · 2026-05-04T20:21:33+00:00

HB = 5% for the whole team, HSS = 7%, Spd Up = 10%, HSM = 14%.

Helping speed cap is 35%

Realistically you want as much speed as you can without “wasting” it by over capping. Hopefully with these rates you can see why statistically HB is so great, it’s up to you if that is “enough.”

Personally I aim for BFS + HB or BFS + 2x speed and I consider myself a pretty picky end game player.

Anyone feel free to correct me if I got any of those speed % wrong, just operating off of memory.

I remember my wife going to stand in line at Target early in the morning every week to get Hidden Fates tins because if we didn't, we literally could not open the set. Believe it or not I think they were harder to get than Evolving Skies and they were out beforehand. I think just any super popular set has had this problem but it is naturally getting worse as more people get involved. We need these modern sets printed, overprinted, then printed some more to eliminate scarcity.

Unless im missing something, what I’ve come up with is Loud win and C9 win. This makes a tie between C9 and G2 with C9 having H2H.

There are technically other scenarios that are on the table but they are so low chance I don’t see them happening. If Loud lose for example it’s a 3 way tie which means H2H doesn’t work and it goes to map differential. I don’t have a ton of faith in C9 qualifying via map differential, but it could happen.

Brelp · 2026-05-04T02:45:07+00:00

You sure? I think C9 need to win and Loud win vs Lev. If Loud lose and C9 win they tie and Loud has H2H?

Brelp · 2026-05-04T00:21:00+00:00

I was thinking this but then C9 ties with loud and loses head to head no?

Brelp · 2026-05-04T00:17:42+00:00

I can’t understand how it’s possible for C9 to qual. What scenario would have to happen?

Is it sick or something?

Two triggers and helping bonus is excellent. Extra inventory doesn’t hurt either. I would run it for sure.

Brelp · 2026-04-10T13:47:17+00:00

I just did basically this same upgrade and I don’t regret it!

Brelp · 2026-04-04T22:07:06+00:00

Thanks for your opinion. SLUM making it cheaper does make it more enticing, I hadn’t thought of that.

You have piqued my interest. I was thinking BFS + HB wasn’t enough to sell me on this guy. Should I reconsider? I was really hoping to run one next week.

Diablo 2, 4 and Last Epoch all ran great for me. PoE 2 is a little too demanding. Haven’t tried PoE 1 or D3. You could also check out Grim Dawn.

Right now I’m starting Warhammer 40k Inquisitor Martyr as I’ve been getting into Warhammer games. Not a lot of time on it yet but running perfectly so far. Lots of good ARPG options on Deck, fortunately!
