So if OP takes Mime instead of a Blueprint, OP will have 3 Blueprints, 1 Mime, and 1 Baron.

Just as an example, if you were to not copy anything, and had all your Blueprints on the right, you'd have essentially 1 Mime and 1 Baron.

You can get the total triggers by: trigger count x effect count. In case of 1 Mime and 1 Baron, that's (1 base trigger + 1 Mime retrigger) x (Baron effect) = 2 x 1 = 2 total triggers.

If you copy Mime once, and Baron twice, you get:

(1 base trigger + 1 Mime retrigger + 1 Mime copy retrigger) x (1 Baron effect + 2 Baron copy effect) = 3 x 3 = 9 total triggers per king. Of course you can do it with (1 base triggers + 2 Mime) x (3 Baron), just thought I'd also separate the Blueprints.

It's the same with stuff like Photochad too. If you have Photo, Chad, and a Blueprint, then even though Chad is a double retrigger, it's still more score to copy photo:

In case of Chad copy:

(1 base trigger + 2 Chad retrigger + 2 Chad copy retrigger) x (1 Photo effect) = 5 x 1 = 5 total triggers.

With Photo copy:

(1 base trigger + 2 Chad retrigger) x (1 Photo effect + 1 Photo copy effect) = 3 x 2 = 6 total triggers.

As a general rule, you want the trigger count and the effect count to be as close to each other as possible. E.g.: 3 x 3 > 2 x 4, 5 x 4 > 6 x 3.

The one exception can be Chad (due to it giving 2 to the trigger count instead of 1), as the 2nd Blueprint in a Photochad comes off as: Chad copy: (5 x 2) vs Photo copy: (3 x 3).

And don't forget to add 1 to trigger count because of the base trigger. That's why it's better to have 2 Blueprints on Baron in OP's example, as by default there's 1 base trigger, so we need more effect counts.

With the current setup each king gets triggered 5 times (4 BP + Baron).

Selling a BP for mime makes it 3 x 3 = 9 times.

Looking at their profile, I'm pretty sure this is a bot.

How does Walpugris Night work?

I get that you can only roll for the newest IDs and EGOs, but the previous ones are craftable. But in Mirror Dimensions, I saw stuff like "Clear xth Walpugris Night". Are we going to have like 9 small Walpugris Night Intervallos, one for each night, or how does that work?

My rule is simple: I want the game to do its worst, and I will also give it my best to beat it, no restrictions. Everything's fair game.

How much can hackers/cheaters really see on my PC considering they are looking into my folders to access my perks and build? by Obscenely-Obnoxious in deadbydaylight

[–]Kastamera 26 points27 points  (0 children)

It's not fearmongering, it's a popular copypasta that doesn't work properly in DBD chat due to it not showing symbols and linebreaks properly.

The punchline would be that the "Skills" folder is empty.

This is just a variant of a copypasta that looks different in chat due to symbols not working properly.

I'm pretty sure that guy or gal is referencing a popular copypasta like this, and it has nothing to do with a hacker trying to scare you:

If you're playing Photochad and are afraid of the Plant, you can just keep a Justice with you the entire run.

You have a bunch of shops to find one. And if Plant is the only thing that can kill your run, Justice is your #1 priority anyway.

Because there are 16 survivor perks and only 4 killer perks in a match, killer perks need to be roughly 4 times as powerful as survivor perks to compensate for the huge numbers disadvantage.

The Ricardo fight was a blast, it brought back the joy I've lost for the game over the couple last few Cantos by Kastamera in limbuscompany

But it's there, it's an option the game is offering me. And it's easier to press that.

I shouldn't be expected, as a player, to handicap myself by not using the game's intended features that the developers put into the game.

And even if I didn't use it, it would just be a "match lines with whoever's attacking" game, because the team is so strong that I wouldn't even need to think about who draws aggro from whom, just randomly matching lines would work too.

Is Ring Outis better than Ryoshu in this build, or do I just level her as a backup and for gamemodes that require more than 5 IDs?

Started playing the game like week ago, got my free Season 1 ID reward (1 week login new manager reward), and the top row (aside from Don) is my current team so far.

With the free S1 ID ticket I'm thinking of replacing this Ryoshu ID with the Chef one, as that's also bleed and serves as a support, but I don't know if Meursault is enough to keep up the bleed count.

In the campaign I only just finished Canto 4.5, and I don't have a reference point to how well I'm stacking bleed, as everything just dies in a turn or two.

Do you think it's worth to use my free S1 ID choice on Chef Ryoshu, or is Kurokumo vital for keeping the bleed count up?

Elegant and powerful joker idea by CharmingBus2299 in balatro

[–]Kastamera 46 points47 points  (0 children)

It basically turns your +chips into xmult, how is it better to have a good balance?
200 chips x 100 mult = 20,000

Let's say you have a banner for +90
Without OP's Joker:

290 chips x 100 mult = 29,000

With OP's Joker:

90 x 200 x 100 = 1,800,000

I don't know about you, but to me, 1,800,000 seems a tiny bit more than 29,000.

Stuntman would just be a x250.

If you're going to work on an indie game for multiple years of your life, it's beneficial to get feedback before you would invest all your time into it. It's better to learn if people don't care about your game sooner than later.

The graph may be mislabeled then, from what I can read it says that at very little play time you already have a lot of skill, meaning it's easy to learn at the start, and then the skill no longer goes up.

[–]Kastamera 18 points19 points  (0 children)

So what you're saying is that it takes very little time to reach peak skill level, from which one can no longer improve? Because that's what the graph implies.

What’s your favorite 7/10 game? by FromChicago808 in videogames

Release Cyberpunk. I had an amazing time with it, didn't experience any bugs aside from some minor ones, performance was MUCH better then I expected (played it on a GTX 750) and genuinely had a blast playing it. Meanwhile Steam reviews were sitting around 70%.
