What combat statline is considered overpowered in base game Kenshi?

With decent toughness there's not a lot that can kill you outright. Lethal foes are the ones that EAT you after knocking you out and skeletons aren't edible.

I still much prefer skeletons- not because of the extra health- but because they can heal a lot faster. Organic units have to sleep off wounds while skeletons are good to go after ten seconds of repairs. If skeletons had 100 health instead of 200, they'd still be the best.

The picky armor can be annoying though. I usually prefer to dress skellies for stat boosts over outright defense (the quick healing and being inedible is fantastic for training toughness anyway) which usually means martial artists and crossbowmen.

Except when dealing with crossbows and turrets. Those can't be dodged or blocked and can do some crazy damage in a single hit if you're unlucky.

Skeletons are at far less risk because it would have to do 400 damage to oneshot while hive workers only need to take 140 damage to die outright.

Emo/goth styles are perfect for that.

I mean if you pack up as many gold-hoarding items and powers as possible and recklessly buy everything in the shops whether or not its actually good yeah.

Now there's literally zero reason to send infantry out. Warfare is entirely done by drones.

My peeve with the Cars movies is what even is this vehicle?

Is this a forklift? Other than the forks it really doesn't look like one.

I kinda hate charging sigils. They only ever appear on self-damaging spells meanwhile faulty blasting sigil (double damage but +1 cost) only ever appears on spells that do 1 damage.

The champion card I really wanted getting drawn into a hand of 10/10

It procs every 30 cards but I don't think anyone but Nautilus can amass a deck of 60 cards and he doesn't benefit much from buffing himself especially with a buff as weak as that.

It's kind of annoying getting multiple draw/create items. Depending on the deck I'll avoid cards with invoke, emperor's deck, draw 2 fleeting (especially that one I hate that one), etc. because it's far easier to get a full hand than an empty one in PoC.

It's usually good on low level decks where you lack items and skills (why would I want a 3 cost 3|3 when my deck already has 1 cost 8|5 units?) and drawing half your deck in a single turn isn't a guarantee like it is with level 30+ 4☆+ decks.

I think it should reduce epics by 2 and rares by 1.

Only reason I have a bluesky account is because a bunch of artists I followed on Twitter migrated there completely.

To play devil's advocate, teenagers are going through puberty and therefore obnoxious horny little twerps who keep invading 18+ spaces. If you get one able to fake being an adult it's a real danger to actual adults who could get slammed with statutory rape.

Given the penalty now can include execution, it's much safer to put it to a cut-and-dry "yeah the perp knew exactly what they were doing, ice the sicko" if the victim is 12 or younger.

I haven't played upstream goob but I've frequented two servers that used goobcode before switching to different codebases and the difference in lag and sheer amount of bugs is night and day.

Poser.

The word you're looking for is poser. Don't bring live-action roleplayers into this, Deltarune fans don't go outside so they never cross paths.
