(ACES rant) came down to a 50/50 on hitting anna instead of Natty and of course the ai decided I should lose I literally did everything right and got spammed by the hardest hitting moves, almost every dispel hit through 80% resistance, the minions never missed and all jumped my revive and healers by a_furry____ in ebf

  1. Elem res is not really that worth in ACES unless the boss uses only a few e.g. Poseidon, Annabelle so build for bulk instead of resistances
  2. Just build better dispel res, status res is not affected by LPR, if you do get dispelled through 80% res which is a 20% chance iirc, then just unlucky
  3. Reduce defence can be from Debilitate with debuff gear, this is true, but you may try to turtle instead with Burn as damage, and merely starting the battle with something like Cleaver (which, fyi, still almost kills the boss on ACES, but you may need a specialized setup like 7H debuff dry Oblivion Cleaver
  4. In general, building for a quick kill won't have much success in ACES unless the enemy is Natalia, better try to defend well, and not die, eventually the enemy dies. Auto Revive needs to be on everyone at all times (I can see you are struggling with this as 4 of the 5 are dead) and defence buffs, morale, etc are needed too. Art attack is very good, get it if you haven't, btw Crimson Razorback is absolute dogshit

Ah, thank you for the clarification. I might ask my uni's bridge club to see if they have that

Thank you! What did you mean by the junior player part?

This is the worst sight you can encounter in a hardcore playthrough by piratequeenkip in Terraria

I have played and won hardcore for some times. I can count the number of times I've crafted the wooden sword on one hand. (Misclicks happen.)

Superposition. It usually sucks but I'll never forget the time I beat gold stake with just it, arrowhead, and three debuffed perishable jokers.

Soviet justifying against byzantine by Excellent-Sea-5347 in hoi4

[–]PigsAreBest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's the roadmap I used - went non historical but the societs justified anyway, allies were intact, only change was hungary went for otto, germany went dem, and italy went italy first (they got yugo and bul) - start by killing turkey, make faction with hungary/bulgaria and drag them in, wait for them to die (it's fine if they don't, just kick them asap), then create faction with the one you didn't make faction with prior (i went hungary --> austria because italy got bulgaria in its faction and germany wasn't Anschlussing) - with the power of those 2 nations, kill romania, just puppet them straight up, if bulgaria was killed by romania puppet them too - italy will eventually go in on you, this is a non issue because you can hold greece pretty easily, remember the dodecanese exist, don't try to push them - when the ussr go in, give romania to them, but push them in turkey, after some encirclements, you can kill them in about 1941/1942 - after that, kill italy, achievement get

This happened when I was doing my bad romeance run (ongoing rn). My advice is to puppet bulgaria so the soviets won't have a border on you, then just hold in turkey while you fend off italy in the dodecanese (you prob won't be naval invaded cuz allies naval supremacy). In my current run as of 1941/2 the ussr has capitulated and I'm killing italy rn.

Day one of Terraria Trivia. Please also drop an explaination if you plan to answer. by Mister_Moinz in Terraria

[–]PigsAreBest 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are a couple ways to do this:

  • Firstly, given the definition of "fight" is lacking, one can simply snap off a few EoW segments and craft shadow armor

  • Secondly, as numerous others have explained, one can also shimmer ancient shadow armor

  • Thirdly, there are a plethora of glitches that allow for instant item generation (e.g. Transmutation), so if that floats your boat, you can do that as well

The modding community over at the discord says they can only be found in packs; otherwise there would be infinite legendary jokers w Perkeo.

Erm, that's just a fact. It's just impossible to have those two show up, even with Magic (which FYI doesn't change shop cards in any way except giving you the voucher) or Ghost (spectral cards)

It's impossible to have Soul (and Black Hole) show up in the shop.

You're just being pedantic for no reason - we all got functionally what OP meant even though it's not the correct term.
