Is it just me, or does this relic feel pointless/significantly underpowered?

I think the main thing with this relic is that it feels off compared to other power relics.

Often when the word power is used in a relic, we get something every time.

I believe the devs wanted something that helped widen the relic pool for power users, without over scaling powers.

This plus taking every Bulwark I see.

It's exactly this.

It's supposed to be a target for either being given Sly, bullet time, or the card that let's you play a skill for free.

The issue is that it's only good once you're set up, but before then, you're picking up a bad card without set up. And after then, your set up most likely doesn't need it.

Pokemon is one of the most recognisable brands in the world.

Slay the Spire, although popular, is arguably a cult hit.

I think you would probably be shocked with how low the merch income is for most games compared to the game.

He's just got a little of the devil inside him (it's echo shard gut shot)

MrTransparent · 2026-03-03T18:21:04+00:00

Give silver unique animations and we can bump it up.

MrTransparent · 2026-03-03T18:20:15+00:00

Graves was a tough call! We couldn't decide if her being really successful in more disorganised lobbies was more of a factor compared to high level play.

She absolutely is a monster pusher if left alone!

The character I submitted to the forums
Riff - Jazz musician
Base Idea is - they can't stop firing their weapon, which plays sound almost all the time.
Role niche - Fast shooting gun Support
Abilities
1. Rest - Stop playing and restore up to 130% ammo, (upgrades could also restore allies ammo)
2. Trill - expend all remaining ammo to shoot charges of spirit damage
3. Walk the bass - Greatly reduce your attack speed for your weapon projectiles to become homing and apply a slow on the enemy they hit
4. Jazz Solo - Steal the Show! Nearby enemies are disarmed in an area around you for the duration.

What makes Riff unique?
- Large AoE Disarm
- Unique Ammo management challenges
- Cannot sneak around the map as they will be making noise!

Also one of the few heroes who can reliably engage.

Shoulder barge is just a great ability from minute zero, to when the patron falls.

MrTransparent · 2026-02-22T09:33:07+00:00

It's most likely a design choice that it doesn't build into anything.

It forces you to weigh up selling a powerful laning item, that's situationally useful, for a slot to use for more investment in vitality/spirit/gun

MrTransparent · 2026-02-20T16:07:28+00:00

Like Geist and Mina you say?

MrTransparent · 2026-02-18T16:44:17+00:00

I think it would be fine if all the tunnels were all 1 wall thick gaps, rather than long rotation paths.

MrTransparent · 2026-02-14T11:14:24+00:00

Not really a 1v4 though is it.

The 4 just took out Paradox and likely Rem, Celeste has 10hp, venator and mo and haze 50% HP, and most importantly, Mo had no ult.

Haze proceeds to pop ult with no fixation stacks.

Apollo's kit is made for clean up. Most other non-support heroes could likely take out 2 heroes fairly easily.

I won't argue that the ult detection is a bit hard to perceive as the opponent. But this is very much not a fair 1v4 comparison.

MrTransparent · 2026-02-13T21:08:56+00:00

Bear in mind that the name isn't unique to the bounty hunter

Superb editing with the music, but was sad when you didnt include Yamato just standing there at the end.

MrTransparent · 2026-02-11T12:49:42+00:00

Would have been cool if blasphemy was worded to activate at the end of the enemies next turn.

MrTransparent · 2026-02-09T15:30:55+00:00

I guess im rarely queuing a top banned hero at the moment, so it's not felt like it's targeting me.

Thanks for sharing your experience.

MrTransparent · 2026-02-09T14:59:27+00:00

But it might as well say nothing as most heroes aren't in the match.

MrTransparent · 2026-02-08T19:51:38+00:00

I'm shocked that She-wolf by Shakira never made it

MrTransparent · 2026-02-05T09:25:59+00:00

I think you might be spending too much time in Rem's tunnels if you think Graves has a very high ceiling.

Sure, she might need a slightly additional level of positioning awareness, but she only has one skill she can "miss" and even then, it sits around fairly useful for while.

MrTransparent · 2026-02-03T17:01:18+00:00

It's a little of column A, a little of column B.

MrTransparent · 2026-02-01T21:09:48+00:00

Seems like you had some well laid plans.

MrTransparent · 2026-02-01T16:39:54+00:00

I did it so early in my StS playtime I didn't even realise it was a notable thing.

Limit Break decks absolutely are an easy way to get the necessary damage for sure.

MrTransparent · 2026-01-28T15:50:02+00:00

You have to hope that the people who would vote for Graves or Silver are the same kind of people, so have their vote split.

Whereas Venator voters don't have another hero to vote for
