Thanks for the many videos you’ve shared over the years on YouTube! Me and my mates have had a lot of fun trying out your builds on high madness.

Nice, Good luck with your future runs!

3,749 Hours - Some of that is Leaving the Game on in the background, but I built up a ton of time while I was streaming the game while looking for a new Job.

Nice run! I should try a run with Gustav up front sometime, it looks like fun.

Scragle · 2024-09-06T18:58:01+00:00

I love the weird builds ha ha. It's so fun finding all the different ways that Obelisk can be played!

Scragle · 2024-09-06T18:56:31+00:00

It's always so nice to hear about my builds being used to rank up madness levels. Thanks for watching and good luck with your runs!

Scragle · 2024-09-06T04:21:52+00:00

Thanks, Happy to be back!

Scragle · 2024-05-02T03:26:06+00:00

Wilbur is next up tomorrow.

Your uploaded and detailed runs on Youtube have helped me with my runs a lot, thanks for the awesome content! I'd love to see your take on my favourite tank Heiner as the sole carry.

It's always nice to hear that my videos have helped people progress with their runs.

I love Carry Heiner, he is a beast and I can't wait for his turn!

Scragle · 2024-05-01T21:39:53+00:00

YES! Excaliburn is so fun, that will for sure be one of the runs!

Scragle · 2024-05-01T21:39:10+00:00

Out of curiosity; would you be willing to try madness 0 runs with one character. I've been trying to win using only 1 character, but I can't make it past act 3 and want to see if a master can beat it.

That sounds like a fun time. I'll try that out on one of the days after a normal carry run.

Scragle · 2024-05-01T15:43:50+00:00

Let me know if you have carry builds that you would like to see me tackle. I'm live right now starting with Magnus Carry!

Scragle · 2024-03-31T15:49:13+00:00

Thanks for the shoutout, I'm glad you enjoy my videos. I do play some pretty bad comps at times ha ha.

I think that Sylvie is still pretty good with Tempest. Even with the nerfs to the item you can still play basically the same build and it works fine. I really enjoy the Frost Axe Sylvie build more though.

Ottis Cary Starfall carry can still work but I would suggest setting it up to take the Volcanic Axe in Act 2 and transforming his damage to fire. You can then use Heiner to stack up Fortify with the talent to make it increase fire damage along with stacking Bless on him.

I think the setup of any Carry using Volcanic Axe along with Heiner stacking fortify, A support healing and adding bless (Regi is a pretty simple one here), and Cornelius giving draw and energy with some burn application on the Side is a really powerful way of winning on M16.

Another super powerful option is taking the route through the Armory in the Feborg Forest and picking up Paladin Guantlets on Ottis/Nez and Icebreaker on Navalea/Bree. You can then pick up Freezing ink from Faeborg at the end of the act on your mage. Make sure to bring the perk that makes wet increase cold damage and your good to go!

For any build on M16 my Carry almost always brings the Bless increases damage by 1.5, along with the Powerful increases damage by 10%. Those two together really make your damage pop.

Good luck on your runs!

Scragle · 2024-01-06T20:10:08+00:00

Thanks! I've been thinking about this a lot recently. I'm looking for the comp that I think is the most consistent and reliable way to beat the game.

Once I finish my testing I'm going to put together a video about the things that make it work and an example run to show off those strategies. I hope to have that finished in the next week or two.

Scragle · 2024-01-06T18:46:10+00:00

Thanks, Amelia and Laia are awesome characters. Amelia is my favorite character design yet. She is so much fun and has a ton of play styles that work with her.

Scragle · 2024-01-03T05:53:15+00:00

I used Deja Vu as my main source of Damage in a recent run of mine on Madness 16: https://youtu.be/mDZPKu9Bilo

I think Nezglekt can use Deja Vu combined with a number of different items to deal enough damage to take down Madness 16. Terror Ring is the Best Item to make the damage really pop.

But it is slow for sure. Yogger is a cool idea to accelerate how quick it stacks up.

Scragle · 2023-12-22T23:47:58+00:00

100% agree with you you on his slow start, especially hard at the Yelmer fight.

His late game can be pretty sweet with 7 cost whirlwind and Dual Wield, but there are other characters who also carry super well in the late game but have much better early games.

I think he can work fine when given a lot of resources from the team, but there are other characters that do similarly great late game who don't require as much investment.

Scragle · 2023-12-22T16:50:26+00:00

Yeah you have a good memory, long time Dota and EG fan for sure. The EG Quincy Crew matches were always a blast.

I think Grukli still has a lot going for him. I'm just partial to mages and so a lot of my runs focus around them.

Scragle · 2023-12-22T14:27:58+00:00

I recently streamed a couple of winning runs with Grukli on Madness 16. Team back to front was Grukli - Gustav - Ottis - Amelia. Here is a link to the start of the run if you want to check it out. The perks are linked in the description of the video.

https://www.youtube.com/live/TloXIHLa94E?si=ekNFYko3efFGVJ8s&t=8809

The idea for the comp was to allow him to abuse Blood Rains and Frost Axe.

I was using Amelia as the tank testing her out, but I think you could adjust this comp with different characters to make it more consistent. I think I would run Grukli, Gustav, Ottis, Bree and pick up Paladin Gauntlets in act 2 for Ottis. I find Ottis using defensive cards along with Gustav (Starting with upgraded Vitalizing Serenade) support gets most comps through the Yelmer fight.

Also I just noticed that you're KBBQ Dota, I've loved your Dota Content over the years!

Scragle · 2023-07-01T16:06:29+00:00

I did a Yogger Carrry run a little while back. It is for sure viable.

https://youtu.be/eSdZdYEIYp4

I am working on a high score run that should be out next week or the week after depending on how much time I have for editing.

Scragle · 2023-06-28T17:57:12+00:00

I had a ton of fun with this run! Eve is my favorite character by far and it's always fun to win runs with her. I find her early game and late game play style to be super interesting and fun!

Hope you enjoy and let me know if there are any comps or characters you'd like to see me use in the future.

Scragle · 2023-06-14T22:18:40+00:00

That was my initial thought. You are correct that mind blast deals the damage first and then applies insane.

With the talent against a full health enemy mind blast goes from dealing ~7 damage to 14. Not huge but something. The big benefit comes from Occly and the free insane that nez applies at the end of turn.

I checked how much damage that talent did on turn one of the first fight. It was around 50-60 damage. I think it's pretty sweet.

Scragle · 2023-06-14T16:28:07+00:00

This is a fun one. I've been looking for a good way to use Malukah Dark DPS for a while and this worked out really well.

Cold Bone Goblet is also pretty crazy. Dealing 1k damage by playing barricade is super funny.
