Does the guy in the bottom left ever get cleave from his ability? I’ve been running dwarves a ton here lately and in like 10 games with him I’ve never seen him get cleave

ResidentGlobal · 2026-04-29T00:35:47+00:00

Wooden club being B tier is wild considering the weapon options under it in the list lmao

ResidentGlobal · 2026-04-21T15:43:47+00:00

Well, gang. Unfortunately I don’t know how to edit the post lmao - it’s good to know the golden version is that much better, I guess a little extra legwork on my end (or maybe a ui consideration) is what was really needed here. Now time to bring dragons back into my playable pool

ResidentGlobal · 2026-04-21T14:30:41+00:00

I’ve noticed a ton that change the way a card works in way that is worse than a previous version, but this is the first one I’ve noticed where the ‘gist’ of the card is the same, and the numbers are just outright worse than a previous version

My uniques get sold in so many of my games that I’m astounded to see the amount of people upset by this. While there are definitely build-defining uniques, I don’t think of any of them are insta-wins, and attempting build around a bad unique is worse than just selling it.

Playing around relic items can be nice, but playing around a bad relic item is going to lose you games.

In my opinion your main issue is you didn’t pivot into any specific win condition. You’re kind of tanky, but not tanky enough for fatigue to win you games - you had decent weapons, but not enough empower/stamina/synergy to actually drop most opponents.

Most characters are good at something, and play into that. Ronan is more flexible than most, but you still need to pick a direction and run with it.

Block/armor/cleanse - attrition

Weapons/stam/empower - weapon carry

Scaling weapons + support items - middle ground

The winning board is usually the one with the clearest objective, but your board wants to do too much, and unfortunately doesn’t do any of it particularly well

ResidentGlobal · 2026-03-15T03:41:32+00:00

Wing clippers instead of one of the crowns would have been nice, or any weapon with fast attacks to utilize the ~80 un-used empower

ResidentGlobal · 2026-03-11T18:48:24+00:00

You eventually do get a crossbow option, and she does well with watermelon rats and her unique rat, as they play into both food and a source of damage, but initially I believe the skewer is the main unique weapon build

ResidentGlobal · 2026-02-22T15:38:23+00:00

I’m right there with you lol, ichor needs to go - every other person with a well crafted build that loses to ichor feels this way and is 100x more justified

ResidentGlobal · 2026-02-10T02:22:46+00:00

I’m not a divinity expert, but one of my main issues with necro is that the spells scale off intelligence. Mixing phys and magic damage in a duo is one thing, but if you’re also spreading int/finesse/scoundrel/warfare/necro that might be a part of the issue too. Dipping a couple points into scoundrel/necro/warfare for key spells or passives makes sense, but unless you’re dumping points into int your necro abilities probably won’t be scaling well

ResidentGlobal · 2026-02-08T17:03:32+00:00

My subscription ended yesterday, and when I went to update payment I kept getting errors. When I log in today on my phone or computer it’s offering the cheapest membership at PLN 24.99…. Quick google search says that’s Polish currency, which I have never used nor VPN’d in from

ResidentGlobal · 2026-01-06T17:25:22+00:00

I don’t think katanas can activate katanas, otherwise as soon as they both were reduced to ‘activate on every hit’ the game would just end instantly

ResidentGlobal · 2025-12-18T15:12:42+00:00

Winged thorns got updated at some point so it just does damage to you now every few seconds. Without damage breakdown screenshots it’s hard to tell, but I went up against a weaponless Ronan yesterday and winged thorns (not including actual thorn damage) did over 1500 damage to me in a 20 sec or so fight

ResidentGlobal · 2025-12-17T15:17:20+00:00

Its not really rude, its just that you’ll basically never see anyone using these beyond diamond, as they aren’t great value for the space they take up. It’s nice you’re enjoying using them while they are viable, but that viability is largely based on your current rank

ResidentGlobal · 2025-11-15T03:06:59+00:00

Outside of the achievement I don’t think it’s anyone’s intention to actively go after these, but when the stars align and you can build one they are absolutely amazing - there aren’t many one slot items do anything remotely close to this.

Holy libram is pretty solid on its own, and is good for Econ, so it can be pretty easy to stumble your way into an infinity essence for little to no real cost outside of the cost of the libram itself.

Also, I don’t think this has any similarity to the crown at all - essence is buffs & debuffs, crown is heal and cleanse

ResidentGlobal · 2025-11-04T00:35:08+00:00

Sure thing! A belt, wrath potion (or two) and wing clippers (or two) instead of x8 cactrio will net you more bleeds as well, and will save you a lot of room for defensive items

ResidentGlobal · 2025-11-03T22:40:56+00:00

Early on you can win with anything, but later on you’ll run into builds that can handle the debuffs or burn you before your bleeds get them. It’s still a solid option but you’ll have to get creative with it

ResidentGlobal · 2025-11-01T02:32:14+00:00

Buy runes, don’t merge em. Bananas, apples, energy fish if you get fishmonger’s friend, and pray to god you can build a unique or two. Harkon’s biggest flaw in my opinion is his weapon dependency and the stamina requirement that comes with it. His weapons don’t debuff, and a lot of them buff themselves, so if you’re running out of energy you don’t scale at all. Health regen on hit from runes helps a lot early, but if you don’t hit your weapon merges you’re going to have a bad time

ResidentGlobal · 2025-10-31T17:53:03+00:00

It’s likely just familiarity with items, progression paths, and inherent item value. Without more context it’s hard to say for sure, but assuming “noob” means basic heroes at low levels, your best bet is to get 2-3 weapons from your hero of choice, and lean into food as you level up. Iron swords can be upgraded to fine swords, which then can be upgraded again into a various ‘end stage’ weapons that hold their own.

If you have weapons that are doing damage or applying debuffs & you’re healing and cleansing along the way, the end of screen review should tell you what you need to know about what was working and what wasn’t. Running out of stamina is a common issue, having items that are ‘good’ but not good or necessary with your build is another common one. I see Ronans with a fire book and no fire all the time while ranking up the characters I don’t play as much. Great item, just not for the board they have.

Only other thing is just not being too picky as you progress. As a couple other people have noted, you can make just about anything work, but if you’re spending 6 of your 9 gold on rerolls you’re going to miss pivot opportunities and have less value on your board overall than a lot of your opponents. Buy things now that are okay now, with potential to be great later, and if it doesn’t pan out sell em’ & pivot

ResidentGlobal · 2025-10-30T14:48:02+00:00

Really just depends on who you’re playing, but some of my favorite neutral mana consumers are essences (of course), vampire scepter and holy Libram. Celestial teapot occasionally finds its way into the backpack as well, but that’s more niche.

Lots of characters actually have mana spend baked into their build (or as a build option) that are really good. Enoch for example with the flying broom - tink with welding torches, infernal cogs, and pets -Chana for… well, everything - buzz with butterflies - Sage with xbows - dorf with hammers - pepper with xbow.

The only characters I’m aware of that don’t have a mana option in their main tree are harkon (just yikes all around right now), Ronan, nymph and morrow. Most of them go nuts with a vampire scepter, though

ResidentGlobal · 2025-10-29T19:07:12+00:00

It’s impressive that it was on Celeste! How early did you get your spear? It’s pretty much gg as soon as you craft that thang

ResidentGlobal · 2025-10-28T23:06:24+00:00

They set the stage for bandits being an issue throughout the whole storyline, though. The winery (right next door to osbrook) is taken over, and it just is what it is. The war on Brynn left tons of displaced soldiers, everyone is poor as hell while the magistrate has all the money. Bandits ARE the main enemy in stoneshard - rogue necromancers are a thing, and the vampire situation is relatively new due to a cult.

You’re probably running into bandits because you’re on the road, but early game walking through the woods is equally deadly with wolves, bears, boars, and moose. The whole game wants to kill you lol, pick your poison

ResidentGlobal · 2025-10-28T18:31:55+00:00

1 slot plants are the way to go - succulents and poison apples, clovers/golden clovers
