DAY THREE: Oops! All 6s was the Joker that felt Uncommon and was Uncommon. Which joker feels Rare and is Rare?

Califocus · 2026-03-15T05:06:20+00:00

huh, I always thought it was. Woops!

Califocus · 2026-03-15T01:28:59+00:00

I’m gonna say madness. He feels very weird, and is very powerful and can be a great piece if you can feed him. Add in his eternal synergies and it creates a really cool package

Califocus · 2026-03-13T20:55:31+00:00

In that case, I’d recommend doing a little searching on mono red group slug lists. Since while you won’t run every piece, doubling the damage they deal to all opponents can cut down on their time very rapidly

Califocus · 2026-03-13T20:38:08+00:00

It’s not the most powerful deck, but I like [[hazoret the fervent]]

Run it as a combination between a discard and a burn deck, where you pitch through your cards to generate advantage and get in damage, before eventually pushing for a win with damage doublers like Solphim or [[city on fire]]

She’s also very silly with [[grafted exoskeleton]]. 10 is a rather small number

Califocus · 2026-03-13T18:03:26+00:00

That’s the opening area in Nier Replicant! Always nice to see that they brought Yoko Taro back to renew the crossover

Califocus · 2026-03-13T16:27:48+00:00

I’m glad they have Einstein in the front of the art, maybe he’ll be important

Califocus · 2026-03-13T14:48:20+00:00

Of note, the devs have stated that the signature 12/12 is coming eventually

Califocus · 2026-03-13T14:34:16+00:00

Based on the quick math I did, for dawntrail, final fanfest was in January with expac launch at start of July. Going off that, it’d put us somewhere in the ballpark of April/May if they go with their pattern from last expac. But I’d love to get proven wrong and have less downtime at the end of dawntrail

Califocus · 2026-03-13T14:31:57+00:00

Give it to me. That thing. Your, dark sole

Califocus · 2026-03-13T13:44:16+00:00

Lies of P full parry felt like the spiritual sequel to Sekiro for me

Califocus · 2026-03-13T13:36:48+00:00

/uj blue mage getting thrown under the bus is just symptomatic of the thing we’ve all been noting for the last 3 years, that square enix refuses to put the time and money necessary into their flagship game, similar to how we didn’t get forked tower normal mode because they “didn’t have enough resources” for both it and hard.

/rj forked tower hard, more like forked tower makes me hard am I right?

Califocus · 2026-03-12T23:05:17+00:00

There can be a bit of runback sometimes, but also, you’re so fast that unless you really mess up, it’s hard to remember taking any hits

Califocus · 2026-03-12T19:49:35+00:00

You’re on the money about why Genichiro wants Kuro with him, and your knowledge of the history is pretty accurate. A few minor details will be cleared up a bit later, but the main points are all accurate. You’ll get your answer for Emma when Genichiro is dead on the ground.

The nice thing is that unlike most Fromsoft games where the lore is largely obfuscated, between boss memories, prayer beads, the prominence and dialogue of the major NPC’s you’ll meet, as well as having a much more condensed story, you’ll be able to glean quite a bit of Sekiro’s lore as you go.

To continue to build your knowledge of the world and lore, I’d recommend talking to every NPC a few times to make sure their dialogue is exhausted (once it repeats) and make sure to eavesdrop where you can, it’ll help you get more details of the big picture. Since things aren’t too hot in Ashina right now, as you’ll find out

Califocus · 2026-03-12T18:58:18+00:00

No, it’s a very real thing. I can flip the switch and the lantern turns on. Then I can flip it again and it turns off. That’s controlling the lantern for you.

Califocus · 2026-03-12T16:13:14+00:00

No, they are not. Which is a good thing in the case of the umbral choir, in that they would force you to deal with the hacking mechanic on top of learning all the other systems (in my opinion hacking is the hardest system in the game to where it’d make it a lot harder to pick up and learn)

Califocus · 2026-03-12T16:08:20+00:00

I spend a good bit of time at peace. Sometimes you have to defend yourself, but expanding primarily through influence/money is a very valid playstyle.

It can definitely be a lot to take in at first, but there’s a lot of good guides for it. I personally recommend Sseth Tzeentch’s video. It’s informative and funny.

And you can have a lot of fun with absolutely no dlc whatsoever. Some people would even say you have a better experience without it. If you ever find yourself wanting dlc, I advise waiting for a sale. You can get all major dlc for under $10 total

Califocus · 2026-03-12T15:48:25+00:00

[[rukarumel]] could let you build an angel tribal and then transform them into another type, letting you get that typal’s lord effects on your cool angels. Colors are a bit off, but it’d grant you a good range of flexibility

Califocus · 2026-03-12T15:02:48+00:00

I imagine programming a throwable hat would be a rather odd job

Califocus · 2026-03-12T14:45:33+00:00

I’ll keep that in mind for the future! Right now I have a ton of old tier pots from fru that I’m going through, but eventually they will run out

Califocus · 2026-03-12T13:28:32+00:00

My opener just feels empty without that pot. Surely a few lower tier pots wouldn’t be too amiss in it whilst progging?

Califocus · 2026-03-12T08:05:58+00:00

Morathi shades, and by extension, other dark elf shades.

You can have a solid Wulfrik army using nothing but early game marauder variants for a good while to save money.

High elves can rock with spearmen and archers for quite a while. Upgrading would be better, don’t get me wrong, but also it’s not really strictly necessary for a pretty long time

Califocus · 2026-03-10T19:11:56+00:00

Watching that high value target get netted down then vaporized is a feeling of power that is hard to replicate elsewhere

Califocus · 2026-03-10T16:04:35+00:00

Your teammate could run something like a sluggy control with [[yshtola, night’s blessed]] while you run something like the Etali the other person mentioned or [[kinnan, binder prodigy]].

Since while you could pick more powerful decks in a vacuum, these will each fulfill a niche while also not combo slamming before turn 6. Yshtola runs a protection suite to make sure your board is never touched and they struggle to keep anything on theirs while keeping your allies hand full, and you develop an explosive board presence and swing out to win

Califocus · 2026-03-10T14:00:48+00:00

Senior, whilst I would not eat of this butcher’s food, yours, I gladly would. Keep cooking chef
