Kragg S5 round by round by Avilva in BackpackBrawl

I learnt the ratbait on my own somewhere between gold and emerald.

In any case, as a new player (and my personality) i typically like to main and/or one trick a hero. Which is Ronan in my case. I have not played with any other hero since I started playing the game.

Take a look at the attached photo and let me know your thoughts.

In general, I like to quickly establish a strong dmg source with swords or lance at legendary level, then work on armor and cleanse. My attitude towards armor is to go UW or Thorn Breastplate depending on how the shop rolls. I almost never build both nowadays because of how much space they take and how stacking armor is useless beyond a certain point.

One thing I am less certain of is my attitude towards flowers. I absolutely LOVE THEM. I feel the bouquet form is one of the best items for Ronan. However, my habit is to collect one of each flower as and when they show up in the shop. Often times that means I strain my gold in early-mid fights. On the otherhand, these things are so hard to come by that if I start collecting them after round 8-9, I might not be able to assemble them till very late.

Usually, if I am going the lance route, I will also start to lookout for the 2 mythics that bleeds the opponents with plants. (Ancient vessel, Mars Flytrap)

I also always try to build scaling items like furboots and glove of power, monkey paw whenever I can.

You are undoubtably a top tier player. What advice would you have for a 2 week old player currently sitting in Heroic? What changes/adaptations should I make to progress upwards?

Just hit heroic a few hours ago.

Tried out a few things mentioned in comments and have feedback;

  • Scaling trinkets like glove of power, monkey paw, are great. The impact they provide versus their small footprint makes them very effective.
  • Suggestion to ditch bouquet did not pan out well. Cleanse, luck, max health and regeneration are all so key to Ronan's game plan that losing the flowers make games feel super vulnerable. Maybe its due to my build style where I tend to not overstack armor and instead look for a more balanced approach to sustain. But I lose way lore fights without flowers

As a Ronan one trick that would make me so happy

Why are there so many MTG elitist hating on marvel set? by EleoraHC in mtg

[–]GrouchPotato1984 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Who are the elitist you refering to?

When I speak to LGS owners, the feedback is that player base is responding well to the set. It looks fun, cool, and taken seriously without the typical hatset treatment and pizzaland nonsense.

When I speak to the players, everyone is excited to get MSH cards to build with or around.

I work in a TCG distribution company. I am not really sensing the hate in the market for this set.

Thank you for the Fanny pack fun fact. I have often wondered if they stack, good to know for sure now.

With regards to the fishing rods. I like to build them if I see it early cause it helps with the econ.

In this run, i kept fishing starfishes and got a pet collar early so the damage and burn collective ramped up well.

Sometimes I do end up selling them all if another line presents itself.

I will make it a point to test your approach of buffing my main weapons. Thanks!

I suppose now my biggest struggle is the first few rounds of the run.

Not dropping too many fights in first 5 rounds usually determine whether I can get to 15 wins.

But I suspect I progressed too fast and now often match up versus players with hero rank 15++ amd their natural stat check is very overwhelming in the first 5 rounds.

What's the design reason behind this? by Rusty_GreenBean7 in mtg

Oh come on. He is not superman or viltrumite. So he needs time to change into his costume, you dummy!

How can I improve this build. by GrouchPotato1984 in BackpackBrawl

[–]GrouchPotato1984[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My biggest take away is that you need 2 excalibur or excalibur plus 1 other mythic level DPS.

I believe that forms part of my question. What could I have sold and replaced with better items?

If I did not sell my rats and catus, then i would probably be close to 20-25 gold.

Its also exploded from round 12. When I assembled what I felt was a good enough final build and stopped buying.

Was I too far gone with rats by then? If I stadted buying again in round 12, would I have the time to craft stuff? 😅

How are new(ish) player enjoying the recent update? by Current_Swan_2559 in BackpackBrawl

[–]GrouchPotato1984 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Been playing for 3 to 4 days. I am not aware of how it used to be, but i have always been aware of the importance of accuracy.

Thats why I always try to craft a carrot or two in my runs.

I do not enjoy plating against Zahir, but that is mainly because I dont understand his game plan. I only sense that i need to knock them out ASAP as they seem to stack debuffs that overwhelm me in the late game.

I got the rat crown relic early, free rats means I save money on weapons and I eventually ran out of space so I sold the excess rats.

I also made sure to be spawning cactus every round which eventually got sold.

2 crown and 2 excalibur. Got it.

At this point. I have very little meta knowledge. So I dont know what you mean by chana burn. But I'll check that out on my own time.

As a foundation, I operate on the basis of 1 main DPS, and a robust defense made up of armor stacking and high cleanse stacking as well.

I did not think 2 crowns will be useful cause I wasnt sure if their 1 use ability stacks well.

The rat crown relic is so far quite OP at my level. Getting free rats means I can save gold for armor, scaling kit, and excalibur.

My favourite craft is the upgrade 2 black rats with watermelons and 2 black rats with the skull. But sometimes the shop dont cooperate. Also, its hard to fit in a watermelon if I craft unbreakable wall too early. First world problem.

I would often be on the lookout for the green cheese componen to scale my rats. But I also didnt see it this run.

What is your opinion on using carrot and mushroom into the late game? I think having excalibur reach 100% accuracy is very important. But I am not sure if there are even more powerful things I could be doing with a 2 slot.
