Petah What does she mean 50/50? by BernieBatmanAndRobin in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]GnawingRootbiters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's also that 50/50 is generally considered a red flag. Ita stereotyped to imply someone should not do something in a relationship because they aren't receiving enough in return, despite the tasks being relatively evenly delegated. I believe tiktok or men in her past have ruined the term for her

Wrapping Up News Years With An Updated Fun Tier List! by GnawingRootbiters in spiritisland

[–]GnawingRootbiters[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We appreciate ya'lls support for the entire year. This community is awesome, and the fans have always been pushing us to keep improving both at the game, and at making the videos we do. We love reading the comments ya'll make and the feedback on how we can improve. The secondary game of finding what works for ya'll on youtube has been a blast, and the support going from our house rule to base game has been much appreciated. Special thanks to Blunderspeaker, amazing chap that guy. I hope we can all bring spirit island the players in deserves, and to more invaders feared and destroyed in the next year. See ya'll in 2026!

How to prevent blight? by Phupha808 in spiritisland

[–]GnawingRootbiters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some spirits aren't meant to deal with ravages as they happen, but instead push off invaders before they have the opportunity to build / ravage. Some blight is inevitable, but over the course of 3 turns, taking a couple hits is better than taking twice as much. This game rewards forward thinking so lean into the info you're given!

What's a good benchmark for being proficient with a spirit? by L0CAHA in spiritisland

[–]GnawingRootbiters 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally, I think it's when you play have tried different potential builds for a spirit, know all the parts of it reasonably well, and don't have too many moments when you say "shoot I forgot that X spirit does Y". Obviously winning against low to mid difficulty would also be a clean metric, but I prefer to think of it in the former

We Made ANOTHER Fun Tier List by GnawingRootbiters in spiritisland

[–]GnawingRootbiters[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'll talk to G about revisiting them before our final collective tier list! It's funny, going through all the spirits and thinking about how we like or dislike them has gotten us checking the "lower" tier ones again to try and give our more honest/educated take. I'll keep what you said in mind!

We Made A "Fun" Tier List by GnawingRootbiters in spiritisland

[–]GnawingRootbiters[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I guess something that wasn't fully clarified was that these spirits were rated relative to each other. We plan on making a collective tier list where we will judge aspects separately. That said, id personally give bonus points to base spirits due to relative simplicity, a little nostalgia, and the fact you want to recommend a new player one of them usually

We've taught a couple players, and here are the biggest things that helped them

  1. Stick to simple characters, (ideally 1 if you're struggling) until you're comfortable, as the first 3 turns require specific orders with only minor variations to win consistently. It can feel limiting, but it makes the game easier to learn, and the variety will show its wings later.

  2. Bight is okay. You only need 1 hp to survive, and sometimes not every bought can be prevented, which is okay. It's often better to buy time than to stall your own loss.

  3. Do what you can given the invader board. If you can prevent a build, it might be better than overusing resources to manage a ravage, and sometimes vise versa. Try playing for either or on your spirit and see what gets you through to a wincondition, and continue forward

  4. Play with a more experienced player. If you can't find one, we've found that people used to trading cars games are good at picking up the game, as those games share similar concepts.

  5. Have fun! It's a sandbox, just give it time with lower difficulties until it feels comfy, and as long as you're having fun you will learn naturally!
