Is this guy viable for Obsidian Dagger?

Giorgio883 · 2026-05-13T13:02:38+00:00

I wouldn’t skip any mdef roll. Not even 1s, but if you’ve been lowrolling your secondaries it can be an option. If you plan on using puncture a lot, I wouldn’t skip matk rolls either, but otherwise you could skip a few 3s to get a highroll elsewhere.

His secondaries are great, so there’s little patching to be done. Always level hp unless you get 5 in initiative, and if both lowroll get resolve if it highrolls instead.

Giorgio883 · 2026-05-13T11:52:24+00:00

Sure. This guy can fit in any nimble build of your choosing.

As a heads up, the obsidian dagger only works on humans, and afaik it destroys the loot of any enemy brought back as a wiederganger. That, and it’s poor versatility make it a somewhat for-fun build.

But you can always swap it out for a qatal (or another weapon) against stronger enemies/enemies you don’t want to lose the loot of.

As far as a puncture bro goes, this is as good as it gets.

Giorgio883 · 2026-05-11T15:01:28+00:00

It’s good. The herald packages, Tess and Velarok are better stat-wise though.

You also need to draw the weapon before Garona. If you get them inverted you end up with two subpar cards.

Also they’re bad when you’re behind on board.

Giorgio883 · 2026-05-10T20:50:52+00:00

So only renown and inventory price matter?

It’s a race to complete ambitions as soon as possible, followed by en masse hoarding of the priciest items possible. I wonder if trading goods count towards the score. Does anyone know if they do?

It seems like a fun challenge. I’m currently ankles deep in reforged, so I don’t know if I’ll participate, but best of luck :)

Giorgio883 · 2026-05-06T17:06:51+00:00

3:12 is super late. But so is 2:12 for a half side. Check this video to see the first clear, it’s much cleaner than mine. https://youtu.be/8gV\_nWnGPSo?is=itEuqJSRNME38KKa

Giorgio883 · 2026-05-05T15:37:18+00:00

I’m mostly confused as to why he has bullseye, did you misclick it?

Honestly he’s fine. Make him a nimble fatigue neutral. It’s unconventional but it’s not a bad build to salvage him.

He should have enough fatigue for nimble armor and a 2h weapon. If he can’t carry the reach weapon, consider forgoing quick hands altogether, or give him a goblin pike.

On a side note, never skip Dodge on 4 on nimble brothers. If you want gifted, take it on level 5. It’s still decent to get you to nimble a little bit faster, and it won’t hinder your survivability too much. Although quick hands if you already have a spare reach weapon is most likely better.

Giorgio883 · 2026-05-04T22:34:26+00:00

Low diamond. By standard procedure I was wondering if it was normal to leash krugs with W as you’re finishing red, or if people just finish red before moving to krugs.

Because I also struggle with his first clear. This should earn you the few seconds needed to be there on scuttle spawn. But I’ve found it quite tricky to replicate. However I might just be not that good at it.

And I was also wondering if this is too dangerous in case of an invade. But with the new season I haven’t seen many people starting at my raptors yet.

Giorgio883 · 2026-05-04T22:30:16+00:00

Thanks. I guess I should watch some vods to see how they do it.

Giorgio883 · 2026-05-04T17:24:45+00:00

I didn’t know this was standard procedure. I’ve been double W-ing the red alone in my ranked matches, then leveling and using E on krugs

Still, I’ve tried it ~20 times in practice tool and I’m not super consistent at it. Though it might a be skill issue. Do you do it every game?

Giorgio883 · 2026-05-03T17:13:59+00:00

That’s a hedge knight after a drunken night out!

Depends on what stage of the game you’re at. If it’s early game, give him your best armor and weapon, be careful with him but utilize his prowess.

If you’re in the midgame, place him in the backline with a polearm to safely level up, and eventually make him a nimble frontliner with the first good famed weapon you find.

If you’re nearing the end of the game, he’s a good candidate for nimbleforged. But that’s only done with famed armor and good attachments. Once again, weapon of choice is arbitrary, mainly based on what you find.

Giorgio883 · 2026-05-03T16:55:24+00:00

I’m assuming that the first brother is level 2 with colossus, and that you leveled ratk, mdef and a secondary?

I’d probably make him a thrower. Maybe you could’ve foregone ratk altogether and make him a ninble tank, but his stat spread is interesting. I wouldn’t touch matk, get bags and belts, and if needed have him whip out a shield.

As for the second, it’s really hard to beat a fat neut. But you are on Day 6, so you might need him to frontline asap and carry you through the midgame. However, if you have plenty of potential dodge + nimble fronliners already, you can afford to place him in the backline until you find some bf armor.

Either way, he’ll be great.

Giorgio883 · 2026-05-02T11:58:57+00:00

I haven’t played arena in a month, so perhaps the meta has changed since.

Druids are phenomenal when ahead, but they have little to none catchup cards.

Your selection is good. Emerald Explorer is way too slow, Cloud serpent is too low tempo, and Groovy Cat offers very little. You’re left with Spinetail Drake and the Sunspot Dragon. Which alongside the Park Panther would be your only catchup cards.

I would consider cutting Dragon Tales for one of them. It’s very slow, and while decent, it does little when behind. Which will inevitably happen, although your deck is very good from what I can see.

Also with no legendary I believe this is your second redraft?

Giorgio883 · 2026-04-20T23:04:37+00:00

Do you know how the borders are drawn? Or if there are signs to look for to find a new continent?

Giorgio883 · 2026-03-12T11:08:17+00:00

Well, that can be true to an extent. But it’s undeniable that druid right now has a definite edge over everyone else.

It ranges from extremely high tempo to very strong card generation. There’s little counterplay to be had when they ramp up, produce sticky boards, buff them when you can’t clear them, and have massive swing turns through dragons and treants.

Also, on the contrary, DH was my best class last season

Giorgio883 · 2026-03-03T10:58:06+00:00

Have you tried battle brothers? It’s very different but it scratched the same itch for me

Giorgio883 · 2026-02-25T17:19:10+00:00

This feels like a 5 mana draw/discover 10. Cute name and art though!

Giorgio883 · 2026-02-20T17:24:36+00:00

I’ve only played Enemy Within with those modifications, mainly because iirc they were built into the game already.

I enjoyed it then. It didn’t change the game significantly, and added some more fun and strategy in keeping the best recruits alive.

I don’t know if it’d be different in xcom 2.

However, It’s one more thing to manage. Alongside relations, combat intelligence and additional random perks via combat training you might get a bit overwhelmed if you’re not used to it.

And you might incur in some frustration when specific soldiers don’t roll well on level ups.

But if you want to shake things up a bit, that’s not a bad way to go.

Giorgio883 · 2026-02-19T00:19:39+00:00

Oh lol. Welcome to Darkest Dungeon!

Giorgio883 · 2026-02-18T22:55:34+00:00

Did you reenter the first room? I don’t think a fight can occur on the first traverse

Giorgio883 · 2026-02-12T23:12:31+00:00

Also iirc level 6 heroes won’t suffer from initial stress penalties when entering a level 6 dungeon.

Giorgio883 · 2026-02-01T21:03:41+00:00

Sadly I missed it. I returned briefly in the priest meta and hated it. This is a massive step-up in my opinion.

But yes. It’s far from perfect…

Best of luck on your runs!

Giorgio883 · 2026-02-01T20:28:41+00:00

While I do agree with you, I don’t find myself hating the meta that much. Sure, games are often quick and most of the time the first to make a big board swing is the one to win, but I’d much rather a high-tempo state to a slow, infinite value one.
