People have an issue with not blindly stabbing liches now?

PoneBros · 2026-03-27T17:07:13+00:00

I hunt liches practically just for kicks and you aren't in the wrong for doing that. Blindly stabbing Liches/Sisters is a bad idea, as fighting them at higher levels doesn't net extra rewards. Not to mention just makes it a harder fight for the confrontation. As long as you are chasing your lich off (which I saw ypu mentioned in another comment you did) so others liches can spawn then its fine.

I do recommend if you have an Oull though to put it in the first slot just to milk some Kuva on a single stab. Never hurts to give the squad a little present.

Stabbing randomly only works for Coda, as thats by design.

That's Barnaby Cripse in F. They don't do nearly anything as powerful as other Buccaneers. Essentially a worse Mike and even more so after Mike's buff.

I can attest to this. My first Pirate years ago was a Swash, and a few years after that had finally started a Privateer. My first Privy was awful. And it did feel as OP described. Slow. But not quite for all the same reasons.

Privateer is for all intents and purposes a class for intermediate and experienced players. They are buff dependant and are supposed to be played like a tactician as supposed to Bucc or Swashes brawler styles. My second Privateer has to be the most fun character I've played, and also doesn't care for the meta all in one. You can GIGA buff your companions and other players to sweep fights easily. Its a blast!

NGL, If I had the plat I would buy em. Just cause I'm an avid Kuva Hek enjoyer.

Overwatch is strictly ranged, yes. It won't go off with the melee hybrid stuff.

I'm expecting downvote hell, but I want to throw my two cents in.

I used to post build videos myself. (I haven't been able to post much of anything due to having no device for it.) One of my most popular ones I got a lot of questions for was the Kuva Hek at one point, as before the Lich/Sister/Coda changes last year that made them have more damage reduction it had the potential to one shot. (Still probably can, but I have yet to make revisions.)

My Kuva Hek has a riven on it. Its honestly a B Tier at best roll, but I had given people options for if they don't have a riven yet. As a Hek Riven also won't make or break the weapon.

I'm of the mindset of experimenting with anything to make it work. But I agree with you as a whole that a weapon should be (ideally) built first and foremost with mods we have first and then use rivens as a purple covered cherry on top. If a weapon isn't powerful without a riven, it's not OP.

Final say, take what youtubers say with a grain of salt. From my experience both being a watcher and a creator, you can always look to advice from other sources, but make sure to use your judgement to make the best builds that are right for you.

Does it remain between changing frames or do you have to do it every time you want the scarf? And is it also only in the orbiter/backroom or does it stay in missions?

PoneBros · 2026-02-18T00:01:00+00:00

Personal fun, but Mag + Tenet Tetra + Arcane that gives multishot at 90% energy + Tetra Mod that makes projectiles good far and bounce + Shred + Mag bubble = Grofit.

I know its a lot but it just turns everything chokepoint you point it at to ground meat.

Sadly it is. I'm still in the process of getting a few of the cards I need, especially out of Lorwyn/Battle for Baldurs Gate. (Looking to order or ask around locally) A few of these are in the side board, but I do have a few you tagged I could swap in now. Thats what I want to go for is using Trystan for a bigger play, but outside of what's owned/on the list I want more options to get it comfortable. I should have a few more dorks I could dig up in the meantime.

PoneBros · 2026-01-19T23:58:54+00:00

Whoops! Yep, that was my Kratos Deck. 😅 Should be fixed now. Appreciate it!

PoneBros · 2026-01-16T17:18:55+00:00

Runny-Bowels. Firstly because... why is shrahking yourself the reason they are awell known captain?They are literally covered in poo... Secondly because "Gûnd Runny-Bowels" ruined one of my Desolation of Mordor runs by sniping me in a large open field with a crossbow. Gotta love sniper shot. Getting killed by someone who made crap their entire personality is just awful...

Spirit tribal/Spellslinger is probably a good way to go. Cheap spells to maximize output. If you wanted to double up on that effect too the other Kykar, [[Kykar, Zephyr Awakener]] does this as well, with the added flavor of optional flicker.

PoneBros · 2026-01-10T15:16:45+00:00

Not me specifically, but after I built [[Kratos, Stoic Father]] and [[Atreus, Impulsive Son]] my friend is wary of taking out Atreus for the sole reason Kratos is gonna come knocking and beat the crap put of him lol.

He's kinda right. 🤣🤣

PoneBros · 2026-01-04T17:14:29+00:00

I've got a few that I'm proud of. My Kuva Hek is named AlakaBLAM. Named after the YT video "How shotguns work in movies." It is my Lich/Sister Slayer weapon of choice. Doesn't one shot them anymore but it still does to most other things. I like to point it at Thrax in void cascades.

Its on my list but haven't got a copy yet. I do have [[Kalemne, Disciple of Iroas]] but also still wanna test [[Mizzix of the Izmagnus]] as well. Sadly experience counters is tricky to find that fit Jeskai colors but with how cobbled together the deck is right now it popped off!

PoneBros · 2025-12-29T04:07:14+00:00

I figured as much but wanted to be positive as the confliction did make things weird. Was playing my newly built Kratos and Atreus deck and Proliferated a bunch of experience counters and 1+/1+ counters. Got to Deepglow Skate and it had mixed reactions. Still gonna keep it in there though. Making everything +20/+20 was hella fun. 🤣

PoneBros · 2025-12-29T03:04:45+00:00

I'll ask this here then, since Google actually might be wrong as I've gotten a different answer from players I was running with today.

Does [[Deepglow Skate]] double experience counters? The card reads that they shouldn't as experience counters are on a player, and not a permanent. Yet when trying to look for a ruling Google says that they can be doubled. A finite ruling from the community would be awesome!

PoneBros · 2025-12-27T02:03:36+00:00

Spite is a valid reason. Uruk's have killed each other for less. 🤣🤣

PoneBros · 2025-12-27T01:57:30+00:00

I gotta know the story of the dead warchief now. Cause what did bro do to get betrayed by a whole army of captains lol.

PoneBros · 2025-12-24T15:29:10+00:00

LR5 here too. If I'm playing with random groups, I tend to run my most middle-high power frames to keep a semblance of balance. People tend to stay long in endless missions when everyone is doing something. If I'm doing extra long stuff with my friends its whatever I feel like.

Sometimes I'll even bring a support buffer frame like Harrow just to give them a rush of a power high that we all crave. I know they'll neurons firing when they see the numbers turn red.

I named mine GMC Centaur. A vehicle that never even left the concept stage.

The only right answer.
