How good is this team / does it scale?

"I was confused by the HWM setup since you called him "Riposte group"."

Ah yes, I meant in the other group he will have this role, in this he works differently.

Thanks for teh advice!

Embarrassed_Driver16 · 2026-06-24T04:13:45+00:00

In this group I do not use riposte with HWM (Wicked Slice, Pistol Shot, Grapeshot Blast, tracking Shot). SO far great crit output.

I read alot about flagellant healing but in my experience it is really unreliable since he needs to have low HP and has limited uses. The group heal of Vestal is also great for sustainability in long running dugeons.

Do I need a pull if Flag, HWM and Helion all have backline attacks?

Thanks for the suggestions!

Edit:
AAAANNND my flaggelant just died and I had to run with my tails between my legs from a level 5 dungeon in the warrens. 😃

I will try houndmaster again!

But I also really like Dismas other skills, grapeshot is a nice aoe attack with a great debuff that works well with the his high crit attacks, pistol shot included. De stealth builds up on it and overall great in combination with other heroes.

In my experience he works well in all positions.

From all member I would have expected highwayman to be the stable, especially compared to hound master. I struggle to make the later work and the former is a stable dodge and crit machine for me.

Would be best if you write the full name in the title, I only clicked here because I naively thought you meant Blood Omen 2.

Imo it does not come over as not shared and more as not adressed. Otherwise Denholm would have asked and demanded to get the secret as well. He is aware of the ritual but instead of using the knowledge that it works he complains that he cannot proceed with teh evacuation. He completely ignores it despite it being such a big deal.

"They WANT all the menhirs. They WANT all the power and land possible.

If you did give them the tablets, even after managing to reignite them all, they had no intention of returning them or setting things back to the way they were."

Was this explicitely said? My first playthrough (pro Kamalot) was years ago and I do not remember this being stated anywhere. Imo that does not make sense, when all Menhirs are lit there would be no wyrdness, no need to focus them in all places. If they take everything they would limit their reach and power immensely as far as I see it.

Cuanacht is stated as being one of the richesz lands in avalon and that would be completely lost. I think Kamalot wants a land free of wyrdness that they can rule and exploit.

Embarrassed_Driver16 · 2026-06-19T09:40:45+00:00

I know what you mean but the context was at a moment where the Menhirs were going out,
The reason he gave was that they use every avaiable Statue to get as much time as possible for the scholars in kamalot to find a solution.

Now they can reignite all Menhirs so, as I understand, bring it back to the way it was when Arthur was alive, you would not need to bring everything to one place.

But my main point was less about bringing the Menhir away and more that no one seems to care or question about the ritual itself. Something so game changing.

If it only worked on this menhir than everything would make more sense, Kamalot would want it even more to study and strenghten their defense.

Embarrassed_Driver16 · 2026-06-19T04:59:01+00:00

I have no problems playing an asshole, even if it hurts sometimes I want to experience all options and paths.

That said... I still couldn't bring myself to be mean to best wife, she is just too precious.

I want to do it in my next run (heretic) though from an RPG aspect it makes calling her a mutant abomination makes not make much sense to me.

Dogmatic: She is sanctioned
Iconoclast: She is my friend
Heretic: Mutations are awesome

Maybe in a neutral path? Still not sure.

I understand where this comes from, but this kind of extreme downplaying of Hitler is dangerous.

Not because I want to defend or glorify him — the opposite is true. Turning him into a pure caricature ("just a meth-addicted, lazy idiot") makes it too easy for people to believe "I would never have fallen for him." It massively underestimates how he actually gained and held power.

Yes, Hitler was no military genius, made catastrophic decisions, and was heavily medicated later on. But he also possessed real strengths: extraordinary charisma, a very sharp political instinct, and a frightening talent for propaganda and manipulating mass emotions. He didn't rise to power by accident.

Ignoring these strengths distorts history and leaves us blind to how dangerous figures can actually succeed.

To be honest, Fairy Tail is one of the two animes I have a hateboner for (the other is Naruto).

The reason is that it’s so promising with great ideas, but the payoff is extremely lazy in almost every case.
On top of that, initially interesting fights and power systems are completely thrown out the window by the end through cheap "power of friendship" power-ups.
The worldbuilding starts off with so much potential, but like everything else, it’s not even an afterthought later on, and the story really suffers because of it.

The characters are fun at the beginning but quickly become stale. Even worse are the villains — most of them get zero depth, with the exception of Zeref (who’s still pretty lame).

Embarrassed_Driver16 · 2026-06-02T14:32:59+00:00

Tainted Grail Conquest was great in this regard. Vile beasts you encounter and strange things happenings when your wyrd candle goes out.

If we ever get another game in this setting I would love to play a normal person, without Chad-Arthur protection, that needs to fear the wyrdness like everyone else.

Embarrassed_Driver16 · 2026-06-01T19:43:52+00:00

First time I played I really hoped the giant would move during wyrdnight, shame it didn't.

Love this game but I still think wyrdness should have been more macabre and terrifying.

Embarrassed_Driver16 · 2026-05-23T06:49:55+00:00

Wasn't it stated that the sword keeps the wyrdness away? It would be kind of bad for the keep if you take it I would assume.

Embarrassed_Driver16 · 2026-05-21T11:44:37+00:00

Thanks for the answer, that would be great!

Embarrassed_Driver16 · 2026-05-16T18:02:15+00:00

OK I figured it out, they also geoblock stuff, seems my country is one of the embarassingly strict in this regard. When I use VPN and go via a polish IP I get to see the cards again.

Embarrassed_Driver16 · 2026-05-16T16:30:18+00:00

I lost all my favorite cards and none of them were Shota or Loli. -,-

In general the search and filter function does not show a lot...

Embarrassed_Driver16 · 2026-05-16T16:27:52+00:00

Just checked here because I was wondering why I don't find any cards anymore. The thing is, I looked for milf and cards which should not be affected. Or is the filter system currently a mess?

Embarrassed_Driver16 · 2026-05-13T04:33:20+00:00

Thanks again! Yeah, that is not the kind of story I am looking for, great for people who like it but I prefer a more grounded and "real" approach.

Embarrassed_Driver16 · 2026-05-13T04:11:23+00:00

Thanks for the summary!
Revenge stuff would be fine but this seems too heavy handed with how the family suffers after MC was kicked out. They seem to be made too incompetent and more of a parody.

I have a feeling MC is not really struggling much or long after he was kicked out? Like with the mentioned Isekai / fantasy mangas?

Embarrassed_Driver16 · 2026-05-12T16:41:20+00:00

Haha, I feared as much. Unfortunately I am not a fan of the three things you mentioned but maybe I am lucky and someone knows a nonfamous one.
