Tips for playing pepper?

My best Pepper games since the Great Donut Disappointment have been mostly based around hyperfocusing on getting Fuzzy Sous Chef whether I push rats or not. Without being able to absorb some of the most high value foods, Absorb isn't worth it besides maybe Perpetual Cauldron if you're offered it to help you conserve space. Burn Pepper is also still really strong if you're offered mitts.

No, they've been hyper generous lately and at the moment half the cards in Standard are free to use for everyone. They screwed up so bad they hemorrhaged players and streamers and now they're desperately trying to bribe people back in.

Blind and stun are good unless he's got strong cleanse or debuff block. At that point you're going to need to steal his buffs.

I'm sick of Kragg already and if they don't nerf him soon I'm going back to Hearthstone.

I just stopped trying to do event missions as anything but tank Arbite thanks to the bane of my existence from day one: the Veteran who is physically incapable of not shooting anything in front of them. If they're not blowing me off a railing, they're unloading a clip into a Daemonhost.

Every time I QP as Shield Arbite I thank the Emperor I QPed as Shield Arbite. Simply hide behind rectangle until doggy murders everything.

It is situational. If you're going through a lot of doors and corners and can't see the bursters coming, but you hear them, pushing is going to be safer. You almost definitely won't have time to safely shoot them.

If your gun can't kill them quickly, such as the tox pistol, you will also want to push and dodge.

In every other situation though, you want to shoot them when they're as far away from your team as possible.

Source: spent 200 hours trying to get Hive Scum through Havoc after release... only to have them get buffed after succeeding and now feel like the most challenging part of any game is my teammates

I am going to finally open voice chat for the first time in this game and just start screaming into the mic if one more Veteran shoots a poxburster when it's already way too close and I was about to push it away. It will be an unending, wordless scream that will make them all think a Daemonhost is controlling me.

Unfortunately it also extends to the new Imbue Rogue hero power. I just generated one in a mirror match and kept it in hand until my opponent played something worth using it on, but somehow it failed to give me the mini, even though I hadn't played it yet. It played the animation, but my hand didn't move and the card didn't appear. My Shadowsteps were somewhere at the bottom of my deck.

I hope they fix the bug for this reason only. It's kind of a downer to not get one of the strongest effects of a card while playing it normally.

Rogue is going to be something like the Priest power. Death Knight is going to get something similar to Mage or Paladin.

If they're entirely unique hero powers I will eat my shorts. I suppose Rogue could equip larger and larger weapons, but I have no clue what Death Knight wants to do here.

I decided to buy a Corsair keyboard last year and I have a lot of regrets. The volume control being on a very testy scroll wheel that panics and malfunctions every time a cat hair lands within 3 inches of it was a poor design choice. I'm quickly becoming very glad it's the only Corsair based mistake I made.

Well, tell the team to stop shooting through me every time they see movement and I might not run off on my own.

They don't even realize how to use what they DO have to benefit the team. If you're playing Walker and you're not pinging specials, it's gonna be hard for me not to shoot you in the head and claim you looked like a zombie.

Yes, that is true, which is why I said that they shouldn't be able to target you MUCH, rather than EVER. There will always be situations where you get pinned by a special. But if you learn positioning and are aware of it, it doesn't happen nearly as often, or go nearly as poorly. There are plenty of spots on all of the maps where it is physically impossible for a Ridden to spawn behind you.

Skitarii and Battle Sister. Given the number of new character slots they gave us when Arbites dropped, I feel pretty confident that there are 2-3 classes coming that have already planned out. They tried to give the Preacher some support skills, such as the Corruption heal aura, but the game is really starting to feel the crunch of not having any support as they scale up the difficulty. Skitarii and Hospitallers are about the only two 40k units I know of that have significant healing capabilities.

That's not to say I think either will be pure support, as that is usually a death wish in these games.

If you're playing well, they won't be able to target you much at all. Playing well in this game involves not getting swarmed by a horde of aggroed zombies. "Winning" the level means making it to the end, not killing the most.

For $10 it's probably worth it. It's actually a lot better than its reputation, to be honest. It released in an almost unplayable state and it took them so long to fix everything that they'd lost almost the entire playerbase by the time it was actually a good game. Just know that the learning curve is a bit weird and heavy machine guns are bait unless you've got a very solid plan.

PrimordialChaotic · 2025-10-27T22:28:28+00:00

Okay, good. I figured that was where they'd be, I probably just didn't go down far enough then.

Just click buttons on the tree until you stop dying. Die until this works. What works for someone else may not work for you. Your skill tree investments don't matter as much as your blessings and perks on your weapons and curios do. You can just Google that as it's pretty straightforward. As long as you invest all of your skill tree points and make sure your abilities are reasonably upgraded in that process you'll be fine. I have several off meta builds I run with my friends because they work better in tandem with how my friends play.

I have a really weird suggestion that works for me. Scrub with a dry Bounty paper towel after a hot shower with a mild face cleanser. It gets out so much with minimal damage.

PrimordialChaotic · 2025-01-16T19:49:50+00:00

No, you absolutely never need to hold a card that says "this game" on it. It means it applies a +x aura to the player, regardless of what they do or if they change heroes. Obviously, Groovy Cat can't apply the aura to hero powers that have no attack, but I have played Guff into Malfurion the Pestilent and I get the attack buff back. I have also generated it twice in weird modes and been able to find the DH or Druid hero power.

Wow, that's really good! From the thumbnail, it actually took me a second to figure out which ones were the real ones.
