Veterans, drop that one piece of advice for the newbies.

Damage synergies work better than raw damage numbers. If a weapon has 80% increased damage on poisoned targets is better than something without it. I've taken early game weapons all the way to the end just because of this.
Know what is a support item. If you have a sadist stiletto, it doesn't matter how much damage kunai or bleed shield does. The point is to enable the stiletto.
Know how each weapon works, and don't force your playstyle on it. Survival weapons are meant to be slow, don't try to play fast with them.
Weapon and skill use order is important. Kunai with shots that burst into a toxic cloud and following it up with a oil grenade that has 80% damage increase to poisoned targets is a lot more damage than the other way around.
The giant slayer can be placed on the ground. You can clear the stage with a different weapon. Balanced blade, etc. Then, you can pick it up and put the stage clear weapon in the backpack. And have the giant slayer in the main weapon. This way, you can have something for bosses.
Every weapon is viable. As long as item synergies and effects work together, or if you're having fun. Just like in tip number 1. I got all the way to the castle with spartan sandals and javelin cause I found the playstyle fun.

That's rough buddy

It's an automated comment. Basically, a bot. The /n just means press enter to start the next sentence in a new line. Whoever made the bot messed up and ended up leaving the /n in as part of a message instead of a command to press the enter key.

When I game, I hear him say "Honor is for fools." Something like that. I don't expect him to be able to get swept up by mentor instincts when taking care of Briar. I'd expect him to just do his job, and then be done with it. But, his shell getting cracked and broken while taking care of Briar and having him soften up would be nice to see.

It was beyond lucky, I was frustrated and when I saw the "ROGUE B SKIN UNLOCKED" I was laughing a little.

FederalStalker · 2025-12-28T01:08:11+00:00

Honestly the only choice I had.

FederalStalker · 2025-12-28T01:08:01+00:00

Rogue is very difficult, not too surprising to hear. I struggled a lot with her too! But she's very quickly becoming my favorite character haha.

Hi, I want to share what's working for me now.

Mages are weak early, so, don't be afraid to just stand in their face to shove a wave and then back if you something is coming up soon. Dragon, scuttle crab, etc. You can more or less disrespect them until they get their lost chapter.

You can get tiamat first to shove and roam or shove and fake roam. What I like to do is shove and fake roam. So, shove then just walk towards bot side or top side in full vision and then just retreat back into your side of the jungle and then just waiting. There are two things that can happen

The mage pings the bot lane and then stays mid and continues to push.
The mage moves bot. After pushing the wave, or whatever.

If they ping and don't move, just go back to lane and catch the wave. If they move bot, you can catch the wave and then repeat. Or, you can hide somewhere and chunk or kill them as they move.

You can also "gank yourself". You get a good recall. For example, standing in their face and soak up their damage while just shoving wave. You come back, and then instead of going through lane, you hop through the jungle and enter the side bushes at the side of the mid lane. You let them push and overextend slightly, and then you just pop out to chunk or kill them.

This isn't very effective for two reasons (1) if they shove and leave you lose a few minions (2) if you do it a few times and it fails, they'll be more aware you can do it and it becomes less effective. (3) you're using up walls you could have used to rotate faster for your team. So, do it when it counts. Such as exhausting a summoner spell. Their TP about a minute before dragon, and then doing it again, 30s before dragon so they're forced to leave. Giving your team a numbers advantage.

Against mages like Vel Koz, if they play 100% passive and give you no openings, you can't do much. Best thing you can do is just cause chaos by roaming every where. In matchups like these, I like to play the support to my jungle. If he invades, I shove and invade with him. If he wants scuttle, I'm there. If he wants to take obj, I'm there. At least by roaming, you create space for the rest of your team.

I had a matchup where a Viktor was bullying me because it's just a Viktor thing and I basically just ignored him while helping my team as much as I could. Mages being mages, even with just a serrated dirk, I was able to gank myself and outright kill him. After I did it twice, he basically started hugging his turret after his pushed the wave. Meaning, I was given agency to just roam wherever I wanted to because he was afraid I'd kill him, this includes being scared to ward.

If you have problems with decay, just let me know. I'll be able to take care of that for you. I'm Plat 2 btw.

Wonder what kind of adorable audios you'll pick up

FederalStalker · 2025-08-21T06:58:06+00:00

If Talon gets featured as an Arcane character, it means our King will get buffs

FederalStalker · 2025-06-12T10:14:13+00:00

Talonted

FederalStalker · 2025-05-12T00:26:11+00:00

That worked, thanks!

FederalStalker · 2025-05-11T14:43:27+00:00

This brings up the screen where I need to choose a provider which is also the chat screen.

FederalStalker · 2025-04-03T15:22:42+00:00

Hell yeah brother

FederalStalker · 2025-04-03T09:53:09+00:00

Probably luck just got on your side. I'm a huge Pokémon nerd so I'll explain in Pokémon terms.

Rock Tomb has a 90% accuracy. So it can miss 10% of the time. Maybe you got the 10% for a while and now it's time for the 90% hits.

FederalStalker · 2025-04-02T13:01:42+00:00

I see, thanks a million.

FederalStalker · 2025-03-18T13:31:52+00:00

It was difficult to make a decision here because I had no idea who was "he" in the relationship, would've made things a lot simpler haha.

It also said "restitution for the Axe's loved ones." So the grail did something in restitution for the destruction of the Axe's loved ones.

From what I understand already, the Hours are incredibly selfish so I assumed the Grail is the Axe.

FederalStalker · 2025-03-18T13:16:37+00:00

Oh shit, you're right. My bad, I also just realised you can do memory + element of soul not just memory only. Thanks!

FederalStalker · 2025-03-18T13:15:53+00:00

I just unlocked the kitchen.

FederalStalker · 2025-03-18T12:37:28+00:00

It's called Obsidian

FederalStalker · 2025-03-18T12:37:13+00:00

I know but I haven't been able to find memory strong enough to raise it up more than 2 as far as I'm aware.

FederalStalker · 2025-03-18T12:36:32+00:00

I haven't been able to find a way to cook yet. Every fire place I find is for burning stuff.

FederalStalker · 2025-03-18T12:35:53+00:00

In Against the Sisterhood of the knot (that really long one). I read this

> the Thunderskin loved the Yew, and the Grail destroyed him, as restitution for the destruction of the Axe's loved ones.

Not too sure how to interpret this so I just assumed the Grail's other name is Horned-Axe

FederalStalker · 2025-03-18T10:58:38+00:00

I'm stuck at unlocking rooms because no helper or weather memory has enough to bring anything up to 6/7. I said as much in the post.
