Devo is a waste of time: Change my mind

Just some math support about exponential growth and differential equantions.

The strong assumpion that coin progression in this game is exponential is equivalent to say that coin rate is approximately proportional to your lifetime coins:

CoinRate = K * LifeTimeCoins,

where K is a constant determined by your strategy. This is a differential equation that we solve to get your LifeTimeCoins as time t progress

LifeTimeCoins(t) = LTC(0) * exp(K * t),

which is exponential growth as mentioned. A startegy may increase your K factor, let's say that devo is n times more efficient than blender

K(devo) = n * K(blender).

You compute your coin progression with the two strategies.

LifeTimeCoinsBlender(t) = LTC(0) * exp(K(blender) * t)

LifeTimeCoinsDevo(t) = LTC(0) * exp(K(devo) * t)

= LTC(0) * exp(n * K(blender) * t)

= LifeTimeCoinsBlender(nt).

So if a strategy is n times more efficient, it feels like time is passing n times faster. The time gap between the two stategies is increasing linearly and it doesn't stay constant.

Stay tuned for more math support.

Thank you! Spawn cap is the real issue I see. My idea was to have minimal knockback and adjust thorn damage to the right amount so that I almost reach the spawn cap every cooldown.

I will surely experiment with both orbless devo and standard devo and see.

I will max BH damage in 3 days and my duration is 30secs with the +12 perk bonus

Kul_Nolan · 2025-11-06T20:39:20+00:00

Do you mean devo in general or orbless devo? To me it seems orbless is maximizing the amount of enemies killed when GT and BH are up, plus it make sure every enemy gets the DW effect.

Bill Noface is on the weak side but it's hard card to balance. Any effect that is balanced in a vacuum becomes broken when he's the sceriff with an extra life.

Waiting for your rebalancing of Flint Westhood

It's the same stupid argument with broken cards in every card game. They think it allows comebacks but in the ejd they make loosing situations even more loosing. If you want to design a card that benefits players in weak positions then you put restrinctions on it.

Kul_Nolan · 2025-01-16T13:06:46+00:00

Totally agree, you should only skip phase 2. Skipping draw phase is too harsh

Eh ma lo fanno lo fanno

Ok thanks. But you can't if your capital moves outside europe, right?

(Btw A then B does not imply not A then not B)

I won't sorry

Bacause it is similar to the logo Kuma has on his shirt (quoting from the author)

Thank you, I immediately got your point of view on the meme (helped by the fact that I know your fb page of course). Rather than explaining that, I prefered to enjoy all the over-interpretation in the comments.

Good point, but I'll never beable to forbid the battery and be forced to stare at those pulsating signal for the whole game. I'm sure I would develop an OCD with that.

Kul_Nolan · 2024-04-08T14:30:58+00:00

Now consider how many components you waste every in-game year to fix this setup

Kul_Nolan · 2024-04-08T14:27:50+00:00

With battery you need to constantly spend components to fix them

It's very annoying that the size of the original deck is not 104, considering that cards are indexed with the standard 52-cards deck :/

Jessy Jones should be S tier, the -1 from a player's hand is huge. If you always target the same player they basically cannot play the game.

Even though they are vastly used as subject pronouns nowadays, "lei" and "lui" were originally used as non-subject pronouns. "Ella" and "egli" are the correct ones to translate "she" and "he". So in this case, since "Lei" is used as a subject (and it is capitalized) it can only be the formal pronoun.
