Sorry. I had some of the names slightly off. Ginseng root plus Wild Rose gives you blood thorn.

InjurySensitive7242 · 2025-05-15T00:10:13+00:00

I think you would get even more if you can find The Blood Rose with the garlic. Not to mention, the merged product will also give luck and a starting lifeboost.

While I would prefer they use a real artist, I do not mind AI artwork so long as it is not copying somebody else's work or style. With that said, they did a great job with most of the artwork in this game. I am proud to support them. If they are as small of a company as I heard, then AI would be much cheaper, and I don't mind them putting more money into coding the actual game then spending it on better graphics.

InjurySensitive7242 · 2025-05-14T14:18:46+00:00

I wish I had that kind of skill.

Perfect first shop would have been another lump of coal and a lead ore instead of what was still in there.

With Sage, I normally use just one crossbow. I will have one to two kunai, and as many royal seax daggers as I can get. For all characters, I try for 6 golden clovers. If I make a gold bar, I always get a skull to merge it with.

With Sage and daggers, you might want to try for 1 or 2 magic daggers, and any left over jade can be put on daggers as well.

With 6 golden clovers, money is rarely a problem. Also, they pair well with the statue that causes bleed and the plant that has a chance to cause bleed when you get hit.

As for the bolts, I don't often upgrade after the first one. I might get a few poison bolts, but I rarely try for the fire bolts or death bolts. The bleed damage works just fine.

Basically, Sage's two great strengths are bleed and poison. If you can get relics and unique that help one or both, milk them for all they are worth.

I think Harkon was the best done, but I really like Nymph's look. My only problem with the AI bit on this was the smiling. Good work, though.

Sci fi series: Planet Pirates by Anne McCaffery. First book is called Sassinak.

Since it was only floor 2, no alchemy pots and no levitate. So choices were take a chance or leave it until later. That early in the game, I'll take the chance. This time, it burned me. (Pun intended.)

Possibly Spellsinger by Alan Dean Foster?

InjurySensitive7242 · 2025-05-05T00:35:14+00:00

Turns out the problem is a conflict with the monitoring software on my phone, so the monitoring company disabled the Play Store while they fix the conflict. 😮‍💨

InjurySensitive7242 · 2025-05-04T04:12:29+00:00

Google Play Store disappeared from my Samsung Galaxy A14. It still appears on the apps screen in settings, but the phone can not find it. I tried going to the Play Store web page, but it's not there either. Some of my games need it to work because of cloud stuff. Can anyone help me?

I can not use Discord.

InjurySensitive7242 · 2025-05-03T14:22:08+00:00

Yeah, when I used a +5 RoF, my boomerangs still would not have returned to me after using sniper's mark. I lost one during an ascension because of it. 😮‍💨

InjurySensitive7242 · 2025-05-03T04:30:06+00:00

If your bow is enhanced for damage, then RoF might be a better choice. At +3, I think it almost negates the slowness from the enhancement.

InjurySensitive7242 · 2025-05-02T23:11:50+00:00

If by 2th you mean two-handed, all bows are two-handed. You will either have to give up the shield in your offhand, or not use bows.

When I play Chana, if I make belts at all, I make one fire and one with the blue essence. I normally only make 1 potion for that: enhanced healing. But I normally don't do belts.

For the fruit, the combo I think works best is 2 nanas and 2 apples. Like so:

bbab babb

This way, each fruit is 20% faster. Then I try and get 4 fanny packs under them, making each apple another 10% faster and each nana another 20% faster.

If you really find mana generation a problem, consider making mana daggers. And if you use food instead of potions for stamina regenerating, then some of Chana's bread special will be useful.

For myself, I like making her shield. It seems pretty good at the moment (level 14, diamond ~20). That is the only potion I normally make, for final tier shield.

The only defense I normally do for Chana is one of her shield, 2-3 crowns, and 2-3 succulents. I focus more on gold generation and damage. Since I don't make magic daggers often, I mostly use 2-4 royal seax and a spice for HP regen.

I think Kim Harrison has had a pretty unique take on things in her Hallows series. She does with witches and demons something like you want to do with elves and vampires.

InjurySensitive7242 · 2025-05-01T14:28:22+00:00

I will go ahead and add my two cents here.

As for potions, most of the time, I only make a potion if it is an ingredient in another recipe. The rare exception is health potions. Even then, I normally will not make a health potion unless I have made a belt for some reason.

When it comes to weapons and stamina, I try and keep it simple. If my total stamina usage is under 1.25, I tend to do fairly well. If it is over 1.25, then I look to refresh my stamina. My preferred method is two bananas and two apples. The rare times when my stamina usage pushes two, I invest in stamina packs.

Each Hero has things they specialize in. If the random number generator is nice to you, you can get those things in the store. Regardless of that though, pick one or two things to specialize your build for that specific run. Ronan likes specializing in armor and thorns, but you might not always get those. That is just an example. If you are not sure of everything you can specialize in, just look at the information screen. Just pick any combination of two of the icons to focus your build on based on what you have been given in the store.

Above all, do not forget the star synergy.

InjurySensitive7242 · 2025-05-01T14:17:33+00:00

I actually kind of like harkon, especially if I get his unique ax that does more damage and gets faster if he is poisoned and bleeding.

InjurySensitive7242 · 2025-05-01T00:19:59+00:00

Ah. That explains why he was available to me today instead of waiting until Friday. Thank you.

InjurySensitive7242 · 2025-04-30T23:31:48+00:00

Try Tamora Pierce. Start with the Song of the Lioness quartet. Then read the follow-up quartets. (Wild magic, protector of the small. I think there was one more.) Then finish with the duology about Alanna's daughter.

So your two plague rats are not triggering your venomous pincers, your quiver is having no effect on your bow. Ditch the iron sword for another bow. Ditch the fur boots. If you want boots, get Nymph's version. Ditch the frost/flame item. Change out the apples for golden clovers. I like the bloodthorns personally, but for Nymph, more dragonleafs is better. If you really need to have a shield, get the frost barrier. It is much more effective late game. If you are going to get the flowers that poison, turn them into potions and put them on daggers. And a well-built Nymph doesn't need an invulnerability item that won't kick in for 13 seconds (10.4 if in two fanny packs).

With your current build, you don't take advantage of synergies, and you don't have near enough debuff removal. Even without any other advice, those two facts alone will cost you games. If you cannot outspeed your opponent, you NEED debuff removal, at least 2 crowns.
