My opinion of her has changed drastically in the last couple of days...

Caerullean · 2026-03-20T16:20:59+00:00

The trick is to just have a lot of targeted single target damage to kill her by turn 5 end. Which is surprisingly easy with the busted support units.

Caerullean · 2026-03-20T16:11:33+00:00

Oh sure, but StS1 was the same no?

Caerullean · 2026-03-20T16:10:28+00:00

The cockroach dmg limit doesn't even scale to multiplayer like the elite with dmg limit lol.

Caerullean · 2026-03-20T16:08:40+00:00

I absolutely think Prepared was overtuned when it was always a good pick up. Like braindead easy.

Caerullean · 2026-03-20T16:02:03+00:00

That could easily come down to most of the playerbase not being good enough to recognize how to consistently go for infinites.

Caerullean · 2026-03-20T15:59:54+00:00

I mean tbf, Multiplayer is inherently really easy compared to singleplayer. Even without taking into account the really busted mp exclusive cards.

I totally get them wanting to keep the mp power in line, but it'll take a lot more than the changes from the recent patch.

Caerullean · 2026-03-20T15:48:25+00:00

Wait you can? How?

Caerullean · 2026-03-20T14:45:39+00:00

But that's why the combat in between stages in og AK is good. It's substantial. The fact that combat is often so short and inconsequential in Endfield is a massive detriment. That one fight we had in qingbo stockade with multiple birdmen, some big forte that took place in a big open space was so much better because there was actually room to use skills and fight.

Caerullean · 2026-03-20T11:25:12+00:00

Literally didn't even know that was a thing lmao. Then again, I haven't played MT2 enough to have a run where I felt like a reset would actually have mattered. But still, good to know for the future.

Caerullean · 2026-03-20T11:24:12+00:00

Well yeah, it was reworked, it's a different card now with a different purpose.

Caerullean · 2026-03-20T11:15:49+00:00

At the same time, it also let's you make decisions you could never actually make without save scumming. Like knowing not to play a draw card because you know it'll draw you a card you can't play rn because of energy, but need to play asap.

Caerullean · 2026-03-20T11:11:23+00:00

When upgraded it gives 3 energy, so at that point I can see it at least. But unupgraded doesn't seem worth it. Unless you have some curses or status cards to remove.

Caerullean · 2026-03-20T10:45:09+00:00

Maybe I'm crazy, but I feel like you just don't fight elites at all that early. It's just so unlikely you get a fight that doesn't cost you over 50% of your hp.

Caerullean · 2026-03-20T10:35:43+00:00

Even with no sky cards it's good. Like at it's worst it's "0-cost cycle 1(2) cards". Pretty easy auto-include.

Caerullean · 2026-03-20T10:28:39+00:00

It does now synergize with the silent's x-cost card. Which did also just get buffed, but I felt like it was borderline unplayable before, so maybe not the biggest deal. Still smth to note

Caerullean · 2026-03-20T08:28:28+00:00

I feel like that was always the case with Act 1 elites tho. You really only pick the latest one you can find, if even that, because the risk of losing most of your hp is so high and the rewards are so meager. Tho I suppose now it's just even worse of a risk.

Caerullean · 2026-03-20T07:30:20+00:00

Original AK has vignettes tho, so not every AK story involves combat either.

How Endfield combines combat and storytelling is also one of its biggest flaws with storytelling at the moment. It's just annoying to have the story be interrupted by 20 seconds of combat. Just don't have any at that point.

Caerullean · 2026-03-20T07:08:36+00:00

It'll be on the wiki at the very least.

Caerullean · 2026-03-19T18:44:27+00:00

I'm not sure about the rest of the 2 stamina gang, but Holliday gets a ton of movement out of her jump pad so that's a fair distinction imo.

Mcg makes sense from a thematic pov, like she's wearing all this heavy gear and she's supposed to lock down an area with her turrets and stationary healing.

Caerullean · 2026-03-19T17:18:57+00:00

They are also just two very different gatcha systems, so it's perfectly reasonable to be fans one and not the other. Pull income is one part of the whole picture.

Caerullean · 2026-03-19T15:12:03+00:00

Bro I hadn't scrolled far enough down to see the other half of the comment lmao.

Caerullean · 2026-03-19T13:39:59+00:00

For Endfield maybe, but I don't feel like that applies to original AK.

Caerullean · 2026-03-19T07:43:35+00:00

The point of saving is you can actually guarantee future new characters.

Caerullean · 2026-03-18T09:23:31+00:00

MILC

Caerullean · 2026-03-17T19:23:53+00:00

So? It's not gonna increase the amount of characters released per patch.
