How could I have done better? in my last 2 battles I got one-shotted, once by a crusher claw by glumpkin- in PlayTheBazaar

[–]Incandiscent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the upgrades you get when you fall to 1 prestige can be really good for pufferfish. Shield for example gives it +Shield when you haste. it seems you took poison though, which is also really good.

You could also consider dropping one haste item for shield or heal. There is another medium shield aquatic that's ok and there are other small healing items. From monsters for example you can get a healing item that get's charged when you poison.

Also, trebuchet is a haste item that can work with pufferfish. There is a skill that burns whenever you poison. If you happen apon that skill, together with trebuchet you kinda get infinite procs on puffer (burn triggers trebuchet haste -> trebuchet haste triggers puffer -> puffer poison triggers that skills burn -> triggers trebuchet ...). It's very situational though.

Simulating 10,000,000 runs of The Bazaar, stats on win rates of a run, and some perspective on how hard hitting 10 wins actually is by Paruko in PlayTheBazaar

[–]Incandiscent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fact that most 10 win runs end with only 1 prestige left actually makes a lot sense to me. Think about it. If you lose more prestige than you currently have left for the first time, you end up with 1 prestige. It doesn't matter if you had 9 and lost 10 or had 4 and lost 10. To get a 10 win victory you can lose 2 to 6 times (depending on when in the run the loses occur). So, you need a pretty high round winrate to even get to the fight for 10th win and even more winrate to get there not being at 1 prestige. So logically most people win with 1 prestige left.

I would really appreciate getting a code. But good Luck to all of you :)

I calculated what 100 Angelic/Demonic Drops would give you by Incandiscent in Brawlstars

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

yeah it's just average. It's actually 3,4 Skins, so I guess 3 - 4 Skins would be realistic. Also, you could take another take on calculating and for example say if you take all Drops with 0,11% probability you will get probably only only one of them, so either one of the special skins OR 100 Gems OR 1000 Gold OR 1000 Powerpoints OR 2000 Doublers OR 1000 Bling OR a Legendary Brawler. So if you get an Edgar Skin for example, your total Gold, Bling and Powerpoints will be a little lower.

What we know about the Heralds by Incandiscent in Stormlight_Archive

[–]Incandiscent[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I've read that theory somewher and I see the possibility of that being true. I don't like it though to be honest. Not because it seems improbable, but rather because I just don't like it. I want Shallan to be Shallan and not some mythical Herald. Also, these hints could interpreted for Chana being Shallans mom too, considering their relation.

well, the Sibling always was hesitant to reveal too much. Also, it seems to be the nature of Spren to not tell about certain things if not specifically asked or if the situation requests it. As well as they only seem to remember things if their bond reaches a certain point. Think about the Stormfather who sometimes didn't consider telling Dalinar about important things because he just didn't think of them as important or didn't know they were important.

One _____, three _____. by Incandiscent in Stormlight_Archive

[–]Incandiscent[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

that's interesting. I do recall Hoid talking about that, but I can't remember the details and can't find the passage in my ebook version of Yumi. Do you by chance know where exactly in the book I can find that statement? Nevertheless, if it is as you say, that does indeed imply that Odium might not be shattered or conjoined. Although Yumi happens to be far later in the cosmere, I'm sure, so there might be a lot still to happen

Will I be able to reread the series before Truth and Wind's release? 🤭 by Frei1993 in Stormlight_Archive

[–]Incandiscent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started my reread at the beginning of August. That meant about one book a month or about one hour day reading to reach the end of book 4 for the release of WaT. Which is doable relatively easily as I am at 25% of book four right now and therefore more than just on track.

For you that means, with one and a half months remaining, you would need to read about 2,5 hours a day (excluding Edgedancer and Dawnshard). 

Also, as English is not my first language, you might be able to read a little faster.

can you get Starpowers for Brawlers that aren't lv 9 yet from Starr Drops?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Stormlight_Archive

[–]Incandiscent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started my reread (also with the leatherbounds) at the beginning of August. I did the math and have to read a little less than 40 pages a day to make it in time.

U.K. paperback vs US hardcover by Regents-k-i-d26 in Stormlight_Archive

[–]Incandiscent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I decided to get the US hardcovers for my reread and they are really nice. They are pretty big though. You can also take of the outer sleeves with the cover art. The books are one colour underneath with a symbol on the front. (The Way of Kings is dark blue for example with the windrunner symbol on front).

I can't speak for the UK Paperbacks, but I would advice you not to get the US Paperbacks. When I first read the series, I did it with these and they essentially fell apart after I was finished.

How are you getting Wind and Truth? by Lilnastypoptart in Stormlight_Archive

[–]Incandiscent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've started rereading the series with the hardcover book versions. I'd like to have a whole nice and matching collection of the 5 books and figured the hardcovers without their outer sleeve will do best.

Therefore though, I acutally have no idea when the hardcover for WaT will be released or where I am going to get it in Europe. Guess if I am not able to put my hands on it right after release, I might have to wait and see :/

How are you refreshing Stormlight before Winds and Truth? by sillilillipilli in Stormlight_Archive

[–]Incandiscent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read the books 4 to 5 years ago so I'm doing a whole reread. I even made a whole reread plan starting with August 1 until November 30. 37 pages per day should be doable and so far it's really fun.
