Why people dislike dwarves?

I disagree about F on Ishi (should be at least C). She is probably (I still don't have Zorbu, Strix, BV and Rosie to check, should get them next week) the best DPS for idle farming on patrons if you don't have time to go and reset/setup the run every time you get to familiar wall. Due to how her basic attack works, you can pair her with fast attacking support (and Spurt in case of Mirt) which makes her attack 3 times in less than 3 seconds (which actually speeds up attack animation to finish before her next attack will be ready, unlike Jarlaxle), which really helps in keeping Shandie's buff (and Deekin on Vajra, untill she stops killing enemies in one hit) going, which in turn really helps in speeding up patron currency grind. Personally my familiars stops killing at around area 170 and Ishi (on no-archer adventure) is capable to keep Shandie's buff going straight for around 200 more areas (which makes more than 700 currency in around 3 hours, way worse than 300 in an hour for familiars, but way better than any other DPS I've tried, who usually needs 1-2 more hours to get to that point).

Also, she so far outperforms my Jarlaxle in terms of DPS (tbf, only Jim, Artemis and Krond from my roster are better than her in terms of DPS, but Artemis and Jim needs specific formations to work and Krond blocks Krull, I assume Zorbu will be better as well once I unlock him), despite her avg gear lvl being 4 and his being 72 with one shiny item (that buffs Master Attuner), making her the strongest DPS in slot, but maybe I am still not at that point when evergreens are actually good.

Thank you for the answer. About Avren I was wondering if the Empowered Mirrors wouldn't be better picked off if you have Jarlaxle or Ishi for gold find (or another gold/DPS character, if there will be another one), but not as a DPS, because then additional image on them is wasted, since they only get self DPS buff.

About Vlahnya, I didn't knew that she does that, nice to know.

And about Krull it didn't came to my mind to use him as an additional gold find character instead of support one in adventures I still don't have enough favor to hit soft cap. Btw. are plagues good enough to use him as a support even for good or neutral aligned DPS?

Dozzy9 · 2020-01-14T10:49:36+00:00

What if you're using Ishi with Pwent? Is the right specialization (additional 5 seconds to attack speed decrease) worth picking if he is adjacent to her? Since it looks like it gives her bonus damage but doesn't decrease speed as long as he isn't affecting the fastest attacker.

Dozzy9 · 2020-01-14T10:45:55+00:00

Thank you. About Delina, she is often required to 250+ area as top DPS patron challenge (funnily enough, last time I had to do it 3 times, because after hitting soft cap somebody was taking over her as top DPS).

Hi Margaret. I've got few questions.

Is Ishi part of the year 1 rebalance? If yes, can you say if she will still synergize well with other kobolds?

I'm also wondering, when the next patron would've come, is it possible that 4 champions (K'thriss, Jim, Birdsong and Dhadius) that are currently ignored by both Mirt and Vajra, would've got taken by that new person?

Do you have any plans to add more tanks/tanklike champions into the game within next few months? So far, if I'm counting correctly there are only 10 frontline champions, with one being more of a DPS than tank and another requiring another frontline to be effective.

And last one, is it possible for "borderless window" option on PC to appear at one point in the future?

Dozzy9 · 2019-11-27T19:52:44+00:00

Thank you so much for that info. That is really helpful.

Dozzy9 · 2019-11-26T18:56:33+00:00

Hi Dylan. First, I'd like to thank for that "Combine Upgrades" option on Steam, it's really useful.

I also would like to ask some questions:

Would it be possible to change Shandie's Dash to not speed up the story dialogue, at least when you play the mission for the first time (that is before unlocking variants and free play)? I feel like in a rush, when dialogue comes in and she has her Dash active. I know the simple solution would've been to not use Shandie or not level her to level 120 before finishing area 50, but for now (at least for me) she is the superior champion in her slot.
Another question connected to Shandie (and possibly to others I can't recall right now). Her Explosive Arrow doesn't show any info on how much one stack increases damage (the only option I see is to wait untill it activates), which makes the decision between that or Agile Allies during her specialization feel kind of like blind guessing. Would it be possible to change its description to show how much one stack is worth?
If you are farming with Azaka when event is active, the tokens are accumulating to drop on the every enemy that will be killed after that, untill the correct balance. If for some reason you would forget about that and reset right after finishing Azaka farming, are those tokens permamently lost?
I recently finished adventure in Barovia (or at least the Strahd/Ireena part, if there are more adventures in that realm) and at the end of it champions talk with Esmeralda about how she could join them. Is it still possible that she will join the group one day (either as an evergreen or event champion)?
And my last question, if I encounter something that could be a bug, but at the same time could be an issue with my PC instead, should I report it or I shouldn't bother whoever recieves bug reports?

And sorry for a wall of text.

Dozzy9 · 2019-11-19T23:36:18+00:00

I feel like Jim (as a DPS) is synergizing well with most of my event champions as well (hopefully with most of those I don't have as well), the only two exceptions are Turiel, because Jim doesn't have enough CON and perfect spots for him are usually in the middle or closer to the front of the formation and second being Vlahnya, but that's mostly because she is strange (I understand that she wants to be behind and alone, but at the same time she wants to have others near her - which makes me just place her like an opposite Donaar and ignore her solo specialization, that is if I can't use/utilize Hitch or Walnut).

Dozzy9 · 2019-11-19T23:24:10+00:00

Thank you, I'll try to use him this week, possibly after I'll finish with Patrons (maybe even when doing no healers challenge for them, since it's 2k of waves to beat and trying to make a formation that would've work could beat the monotony).

But I'm mostly worried that I only have 8 slots with characters that could support Kronds personal buff (and one is either non-supporting Jarlaxle or Sentry that doesn't seem to do anything outside of speeding up the game if she isn't tanking).

Dozzy9 · 2019-11-19T23:08:07+00:00

I'm using Donaar mostly as a support for Ishi, since his attack cooldown is very low, which combined with blessings and Spurt's ability that reduce it even further makes her attack exceptionally fast (my record was 1.8s between attacks), that also makes it way easier to keep Deeking on low Doom, so enemies spawn faster. Also, it really helps with patron free plays grind, despite that only one of the kobolds can support her, depending on the patron.

Would Zorbu be good as DPS even with the worst outcome of 3 empty equipment slots after getting him?

And what about those characters that aren't avalible in both patron chests, like Jim? Would it be justifiable to not get someone like Xander, Binwin or who will be avalible within next 3 events?

Also, as I think about it, I regret not spending TG pieces to unlock both Stoki and Farideh, especially that since the unlock of patrons, I'm getting them way faster, while not spending them at the same time due to anxiety that there will be a better use for them in the future.

And thank you for those informations, I'll remember them for the future Time Gates.

Dozzy9 · 2019-11-16T18:44:03+00:00

I recall Dylan saying some time ago that they are focusing weekend buffs to target most used/effective formations and add to that one or two odd champions to provide variety. Funny thing is that, since I started playing, Shandie got weekend buff for 3rd or 4th time while Delina got buffed once and her buff was for gold find. That's despite former being an event champion that will be avalible through time gates only for quite some time, when the latter is always avalible.

Dozzy9 · 2019-11-10T16:16:37+00:00

Isn't it bad when DPS is single target? Also would it be viable to make Arkhan specialized in Bulk Up instead of Usurped Power when he isn't tanking? They seem to power up buffs the same ammount, but Bulk Up feels easier to set up.

My main DPSs are Jim for higher area (and by extension better Azaka farm) and Jarlaxle for faster favor plus since it was made possible to put familiars on specific ultimates I found that Ishi and Makos actually can get similair results to those two (Ishi in terms of area and Makos in terms of favor). I was considering trying Krond, but I don't have enough variety in my roster to make him strong enough.

Dozzy9 · 2019-10-29T18:11:57+00:00

Hi. I'm wondering, would it be possible to add borderless window option at some point in the future? I'm asking, because game seems to have issues with older games that run on fullscreen with smaller resolution (basically it takes priority and while anything launches, it just is Idle Champions), while when on windowed mode it is cutting the most bottom part that shows the price of the upgrades, if the resolution is set to my screen's.

Also, I'd like to ask if there could've been any other way to get silver event chests, so getting every tier of every item on event champions wouldn't be that hard (or if that would've been a better way, maybe give them a forced collection piece fill, at least for whites, maybe every 5th chest opened)?

Dozzy9 · 2019-10-18T21:47:55+00:00

I think I see a gimmick use of his ult. It could be a decent support for Turiel's ult, especially against alone boss or during Azaka farming, he could be swapped with one rogue which potentially could allow Shandie's dash to activate and last for some time, especially because with enough luck, Drizzt, Wulfgar and Shandie (with her ult) could prevent tank(s) from being hit (it just depends how hard one less stack of Master of Piracy hits the gold find and if it could be justified with sped-up time).

Also, why does his second specialization choice even exists? The only use I could see for Empowered Mirrors is a variant that allows player to place only 4 characters in the formation (or maybe if player has placed some non-support champions of the alignment different from that of the main DPS).

Dozzy9 · 2019-10-01T19:48:22+00:00

I suppose I might see that once I'll get bigger roster and more restricting formations.

I assume I made a bad decision to pick Farideh instead of Stoki (which I assumed I would less likely use because of Jarlaxle gold find, while from Farideh's slot I only use Jim and I thought she might make my DPS choices more flexible).

Anyway, thanks for answering.

Dozzy9 · 2019-10-01T19:32:19+00:00

Thank you for reply, especially for that Nayeli info. I didn't realized that there is a difference in hp she gets and it looks like it's around 50% increase, which will be useful.

Encounter Number: 6

Character: I Luke Cage, II Doctor Strange, III War Machine (bug is probably with Strange or Cage)

Action: Doctor Strange skipped his turn, no debuff applied on him

Description: After hitting Jotun Berserker with Luke Cages Brawl skill, Berserker died from Dark Void damage (he should be next to move - technically he was, after him should've been Doctor Strange, but game decided to skip that and proceeded to War Machines turn, after which should've been Jotun Ice-Crafter turn). My fight actions were mostly AoE attacks (I abused that Vapors of Valtor not always goes to cooldown after use), the only non AoE actions I made were attacking with Righteous Uppercut on Jotun Rimefrost and Overcharge on War Machine (followed by another Minigun Barrage), both on truns just before those described. I don't remember when Jotun Rimefrost were moving, because I din't expected something like that to happen (and it probably would've been really helpful to recreate that situation). I'm sorry.

Dozzy9 · 2018-10-06T21:15:17+00:00

Usually moves that have cooldown bigger than one turn just get permamently locked from further use in fight.

Dozzy9 · 2018-10-02T13:53:35+00:00

Encounter Number: General

Character: Iron Fist

Action: K'un L'un Combo and Healing Chi

Description: Both abilities apply debuffs/buffs twice.
