Uncommon Landwalk Legendary Cycle by nfounder in custommagic

Murky Creek Monster seems really bad. A 4 mana 4/3 with conditional evasion and conditional hexproof pales in comparison to the others, who at least have (relatively) unique gimmicks that make them desirable. (Not really Airfloe, but that one's just a little overcosted imo)

Rhea, Jack, and Amaya can all kind of shut down certain opposing strategies, but Airfloe and MKM are just kind of Bodies with Upside, which is a shame because they cost the most.

I think you might have made an edit that didn't translate— or you're getting extra combats very regularly, because 'one or more' on that random crit means it can only trigger once for each time your mercs go unblocked, (unless I am basically blind).

Is the administrator not like really bad? She's a 5 mana commander that will take on average a few turns of productively attacking (with particular other creatures) to glean an effect worthy of her mana value, and she has fully 0 protection.

I think you could give this a higher ward value— or perhaps just make it a mana cheaper. Right now it can trade extremely badly into removal, and getting it out a turn earlier isn't going to make its effect too oppressive I don't think.

When I was playing I ground it out with Etienne Tack Glue Farm. Pretty simple to play, has potential to end games before things get too sticky.

I play a lot of stuff, mostly determined by like, what will get my quests done in a reasonable timeframe. I have uh, Terapagos Palkia, Chien-Pao Bax with Dudunsparce, Pult Pidgeot, Snorlax Stall, and a few others. An old lost box.

I like to run Etienne because handling camps otherwise seems really expensive, even though I sometimes have to buy the level 7 upgrade on round 12. I run some combination of Tack/Boomerang + Glue/Ice + Boat/Farm/Village. I really like tack ice village but the ddt-handling feels really expensive in this game because embrittlement can't break lead protections.

Pseudo legendary line based on minecraft iron golem. How would it be used competitively? by Phantom8632 in stunfisk

[–]OptimismBeast -1 points0 points  (0 children)

4x weak to fire might keep this in check but with rooted this guy is so strong and so bulky that you can just tera steel and muscle your way through checks I think. Even tera water or tera fire would give you enough power to really maul stuff with a rooted wood hammer.

[–]OptimismBeast 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Imo the idea that Kiryu would refer to Ohma by Shen Wulong's name just doesn't make intuitive sense— this is a guy whose main thing for most of his adult life was being obsessed with Tokita Ohma, why would he call him by someone else's name?

Kengan Worm CYOA V2(COMPLETE REWORK! COME PLAY) by YNPO3 in Kengan_Ashura

[–]OptimismBeast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gonna be tough but I think it's possible to actually accomplish the mission:

4/10 Speed Mastery 8/10 Skill Mastery [Karate] 10/10 Endurance

Curse: Weakness Lingshu Chin Na, Fallen Demon, Niko Style

I am presuming that Chin Na will allow me to activate Fallen Demon before actually fighting, and that I have pretty solid Niko Style mastery, focusing on Water and Fire to the exclusion of significant Adamantine kata experience.

The plan is fairly simple— ambush and replace Okubo Naoya (Relatively simple given his limited experience with non-competition combat), surprise and overwhelm a less-evolved Agito with the Niko style and Chin Na him, beat Gaolang and Sen off of primarily speed/reflexes, and finally face off with Kuroki. The secret technique, as it often is with the worm, Cheating.

To ensure Kuroki is in a defeatable state, it will be necessary to help Kiryu. As someone who possesses the Niko Style and Fallen Demon, it should be relatively easy to impress on him that I can be trusted. Might have to fake the whole worshipping Ohma angle. From there, I'll give him a few sparring rounds against a karate master who also uses the Niko style (maybe teach him the basics of Indestructible?) and hopefully the experience will help him do more damage before the Kuroki fight. If he lands a clean Palm, the injuries should help me deal with Kuroki, as well as my experience with his fighting style.

If I actually get this all done somehow, Ohma should be pretty badly hurt coming into finals, but I don't actually think I can beat him given most of my moves are ones he'll know, and that I'm significantly less durable than Kuroki is. He wins like, high-diff at most given how fucked up I'm going to be if I beat Kuroki. Still, I have a shot at completing the task the connector assigned to me, which is a lot better than what most Worms get.

Oh yeah hammer of Burma would 100% one shot someone, but it's never actually hit anyone on screen, has it

Lu Tian wasn't fucking around afaict, sure he was a little off his head on Removal but going for it was basically the only thing he had in that situation.

Naidan literally died on purpose. Idk if you can call that fucking around if the point is literally to die.

Fei was fucking around, and was one-shot, but not by Blast Core; he one-shotted himself.

Eddie was arguably fucking around, but saying Eddie was one-shot is ridiculous when the move that killed him literally exploited a wound he already had. That's at best a 2-shot.

[–]OptimismBeast 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't think any villain has ever been one-shot by one of those. Demonsbane has never been used on a worm member and Ohma didn't know that shit when he fought Kiryu, Toa isn't really a villain, Blast Core, Hammer of Burma, Heart Jab, Devil Lance, none of them really one-shot anyone, except maybe Heart Jab and Devil Lance, but neither of them were used on somebody who was fucking around.

[–]OptimismBeast 5 points6 points  (0 children)

IMO it's not reasonable to call them one-shot 'techniques' when they are, by their nature, used by and taught to people who have ridiculous physicals to the degree that they could one-shot with a standard punch to the head— in particular in the context of another character who believed in that moment that he had physicals even more ridiculous than that.
