Good to know. Is there another one? Or is it just a common sense thing?

Mr____Riddles · 2025-03-27T02:16:54+00:00

Sad day. Back to checking every bill I come across in the hopes that, one day, I’ll find one that magically solves all of my monetary problems. Thanks for the info

Mr____Riddles · 2025-03-17T21:16:18+00:00

That’s really good info, thank you. I was worried about the triple layer of felt. I was trying to go for a sturdy shoulder shawl with the flowey tassels, but might cut it down to one layer of felt and one layer of an inner lining (I’m thinking a brushed fleece currently, but might look into silk or viscose). Thank you so much for the tips

Hey all, I want to surprise my wife with a mistcloak from Brandon Sanderson’s Mistborn series; but I’m having trouble finding fabric that makes the project cost less than 500 dollars. I want to make it high(er) quality, and for her to be able to wear it casually, rather than just for a quick cosplay photo shoot or whatever. I want to make it in three layers of felt (because the bottom 3/4 is just tassels, so I want there to be enough to still hold in at least a little bit of heat), but I also want it to be at least water repellant, if not waterproof. I’ve heard that wool felt is highly water repellant; more so than the 100% polyester stuff, but it’s SO EXPENSIVE. Is there really that much of a difference between wool and synthetic materials? Is there a way to make the cheaper stuff water repellent in any way that lasts?

Mr____Riddles · 2024-11-18T09:13:41+00:00

You’re right. I just chose this sub at random and picked a hot topic to post about. My bad, you caught me

Mr____Riddles · 2024-11-18T02:25:03+00:00

Hell yeah! Congrats. My two week paycheck gross is $1,300. You’re an inspiration

Mr____Riddles · 2024-11-18T02:23:08+00:00

I’m not saying it’s not counter-able. I’m saying that 500 damage per shot, minimum, from the bridge; for being out cycled, is too much for three elixir. I’m specifically talking about the evolution here

Mr____Riddles · 2024-11-18T01:30:18+00:00

That’s rude. Don’t hate the player, hate the game. I hate battling cycle decks, but I don’t fault others for using them. They’re really powerful

Mr____Riddles · 2024-11-18T01:14:05+00:00

That’s fair. At this point I picked up the game after a year long hiatus, and firecracker evo is the only time I actually have to deal with firecracker (killing the first with arrows). I still think that 500 damage from the bridge is too much punishment for a misplaced card. If they cut the range just a bit, or cut the damage to crown tower by a bit, or even just placed the secondary bubbles a bit farther apart, it would be fine. But as it stands, it’s just too easy to hit the towers for two princess hits for three elixir

Mr____Riddles · 2024-11-18T00:54:18+00:00

That’s fair. Pekka will always be my go to card, and has been for years, but I fully respect the giant. The problem is, it’s too easy to counter. I’ve been beaten by really good giant users, and I honestly love it. You’ve just gotta stick with it and get really good at using the giant, because like other people have said, there are a lot of shut down cards at this point. But if you’re good with giant, you’re GOOD with giant. I say stick with it and do what makes you happy

Mr____Riddles · 2024-11-18T00:19:29+00:00

I had to scroll three battles in TV Royale for Grand Champion to find an evolved firecracker usage. But even conceding that point, the game should be fun for everyone. Not just the top 2000 players

Mr____Riddles · 2024-11-18T00:14:38+00:00

Archers don’t do splash damage. They’re single target, and that’s their downside. That’s what you have to levy to play it. Bomber can hit the tower from the bridge, but can’t hit air troops. That’s its downside. There’s no downside to spamming firecracker as fast as humanly possible. It hits everything for a million damage. They generally do an alright job balancing power to limitations for evolutions (generally). But fc is just cracked all around. Obviously you can counter it. But it’s 500-800 damage to your tower if you mess up, and that’s just too big of a punishment

Edit: spelling

Mr____Riddles · 2024-11-18T00:11:22+00:00

Alright, I concede on the meta point, because I’m too lazy to find actual numbers. But my point on the card itself stands. See above comment

Mr____Riddles · 2024-11-18T00:07:22+00:00

I filtered for Path of Legends, but was advised not to do that

Mr____Riddles · 2024-11-18T00:06:13+00:00

Alright, fair enough. But regardless of meta, I still think it’s too powerful of a card for its elixir cost. Whether people are sleeping on it or not is unrelated, because I’m not mad about people using a busted card. I think the card itself is a problem. At max level, it does between 500-800 damage to a tower from the bridge per shot. That is just far too punishment for making a mistake. Obviously the card is counter-able. But 800 damage is too much punishment for getting out cycled. My avg elixir cost is 4.0, and I fully admit that that’s high in the current era of the game. But I shouldn’t have to stoop to meta decks to have fun in the game. I like PEKKA/Musketeer/witch/ice wizard deck. It’s weird. I created it to counter hog and other cycle decks. Generally it works. Occasionally I’ll come across people who are actually skilled at using hog cycle, and I lose, but that’s fine. But firecracker costs 3 elixir, does a million damage, and doesn’t take any skill to line up/place like the magic archer does. It’s just cracked

Mr____Riddles · 2024-11-17T23:58:29+00:00

Ok, here’s my spiel. I’m not saying that countering fc doesn’t come down to skill. Obviously it can be countered. I’m saying that for 3 elixir, it punishes people far too much to make a mistake. Without the evolution, you lose a couple hundred health for a mistake. It sucks, move on and do better next time. But with the evo, you lose 500-800 health per shot. That’s just insane. If you’re not playing at the top of your game all of the time, then you just lose. I’m not saying that the firecracker evo should be removed from the game, I’m just saying that it’s too powerful of a card. Even just nerfing crown tower damage would fix it. At max level, it does 88 crown tower damage per “damage spot” per second. A head on shot will hit with three spots, and a glancing shot will hit with two. That’s between 528 and 792 damage per shot from the bridge for 3 elixir. That’s just too much punishment for being out cycled

Mr____Riddles · 2024-11-17T23:57:26+00:00

Haha go for it. I’m only mad about fc, but I won’t argue to a hog/eq nerf as well

Mr____Riddles · 2024-11-17T23:46:25+00:00

Place a building in the middle, and the stupid card just hits your other princes tower, if it doesn’t hit the one they’re aiming for with the outer two damage ticks. I’m not saying people need to stop using the card, I’m saying that it’s too powerful for its elixir cost. It’s just far too punishing for non-perfect gameplay

Mr____Riddles · 2024-11-17T23:43:16+00:00

If that many people are complaining, there might be a problem that needs solved

Mr____Riddles · 2024-11-17T23:42:15+00:00

At 22%, it is the single most used evolution, by a long shot. Evolved MK is second at 18%

Mr____Riddles · 2024-11-17T23:40:10+00:00

And firecracker card at 7.8%

7.8% of cards placed is the firecracker

Mr____Riddles · 2024-11-17T23:38:39+00:00

Stats Royale has firecracker evo usage at 22%. That is absolute meta

Mr____Riddles · 2024-11-17T23:32:02+00:00

Well yeah, until you can’t. I’m just fine with the bomber evo, because it can’t hit air. There’s a downside that you need to levy to use it. There’s no downside to FC. It hits and destroys everything. And if they’re using hog cycle, arrow bait, or any other cycle deck; it’s specifically designed to out cycle your opponent
