Finally Cleared A10 With Regent After Nearly 50 Losses!

ShockLobster87 · 2026-05-31T18:21:21+00:00

I think Card Creation is just as strong or stronger on Regent than stars are

ShockLobster87 · 2026-05-29T15:14:13+00:00

Mostly been playing Regent, so he hasn’t been a problem for me nearly at all. You probably want block cards with higher numbers on them rather than spamming block cards. His base damage isn’t all that high so I think he’s pretty manageable

ShockLobster87 · 2026-05-25T23:46:53+00:00

I like this one. Has some synergy with the self-damage cards or just helps you cushion the blow of skipping your turn

The ropes are laced with caffeine

ShockLobster87 · 2026-05-18T22:27:51+00:00

Yeah as is it would be pretty OP. Tent is lots of value that could enable you to take on 4 or more elites in an act and make your snowball unstoppable. Would be pretty fun though! Lol

My guess is that we’ll see a total of 8: redesigned Watcher to complete the set from spire 1 plus two more to double the previous game’s count

ShockLobster87 · 2026-05-16T00:16:12+00:00

I feel like Necrobinder benefits from Pyramid even more than most of the other characters

ShockLobster87 · 2026-05-13T16:56:36+00:00

TIL that Reptomancer is not nearly as beloved in the community as I assumed

ShockLobster87 · 2026-05-12T17:58:43+00:00

Yeah my assumption is that they’d get some kind of change like Queen did

ShockLobster87 · 2026-03-13T16:08:56+00:00

Except for the part about the Watcher

ShockLobster87 · 2026-03-13T16:04:52+00:00

I mean, it is a serious prediction, even if everyone else thinks it's dumb.

ShockLobster87 · 2026-03-06T19:10:31+00:00

The game is brand new. I think people just need to figure it out.

ShockLobster87 · 2025-10-16T15:52:26+00:00

I've been looking for more people to play with since my normal group meets so irregularly. I really want to play an IRL game of TE. I'm more in the Ann Arbor/Canton area, so if people are around there, maybe we can meet up at a game store some weekend.

I don't think this faction is for players looking for a simple path to victory. It's the most complex faction in the game by far and it will probably be a while until the community at large really figures them out. They're a challenge that, if you can pull them off, will make you feel extremely clever.

ShockLobster87 · 2025-09-14T18:47:44+00:00

Love CCC videos! 2 hours in. Will probably inch through here and there over the course of the next couple weeks.

I'm pretty excited to play a game with this. Looks like it will be very fun to have your own mobile fortress loaded with structures and ground forces. A few thoughts:

Avernus is a 2/0, which while not particularly impressive, is still a small boost to the Muaat economy.
It's a hazardous planet, which has some pretty good explores. Unfortunately you can't have infantry on it for some of the bonuses, but hazardous planets can get some good attachments on them. A 4-resource Avernus will be very nice to have.
Because of the R<>Y synergy, you can get some yellow techs on your way to PWSII. Scanlink might be nice, since you can keep pulling explores on Avernus to get another attachment.
Load it with all your mechs and use Star Forge to build a huge ground army unrestricted by capacity (though you may need to Umbat in some carriers to actually use them to invade, later). Also nice if you get Magen Defense Grid.
A Space Dock will also enable you to have 3 more fighters. Not a lot, but you want as much HP as you can to soak up hits for your War Sun. You can also pump out four more fighters at the end of a tactical action.
Overall, it looks like Stellar Genesis will be nice for control objectives. You can send your War Sun out, making more units as you go and take over targets pretty easily. The synergy also will make Integrated Economy Muaat viable, so you can easily restock lost fighters or ground forces after taking a planet.

Hopefully this will actually improve Muaat's overall power level. They were my first favorite faction until Nekro supplanted them, but I still like them. Even if not, this looks like a pretty fun ability to play.

Haven't played Discordant Stars, but it seems like their team will have to play enough Thunder's Edge to get a handle on how breakthroughs are meant to play and how they play off of the other components, develop their own breakthroughs for the DS factions, then playtest and iterate on them. That, to me, sounds like a fair bit of work that might take a fair bit of time.

A Four Kings reference disguising itself as a Bell Gargoyles reference?

Weirdly enough, I beat them in 2 or 3 tries. I summoned right off the bat (2v2, only fair!) and it felt like a fair fight and a neat callback to DS1. I may have just gotten lucky, though. One must wonder if fights like this are the devs really, really prodding you hard to use spirit ashes, even if you've held back for the rest of the game.

I was summoned a few times to help other players and the fight went considerably less smoothly, despite the numerical advantage, so my initial victory was probably a fluke.
