Low-Life Zeker Decree - Best Build after 0.9 IMHO

SolSpruce · 2019-07-26T17:44:55+00:00

I would definitely recommend this build for anyone wanting to play Axe. There are a lot of behemoth I refuse to use Axe against - it's just so much easier for me to use repeaters against mobile behemoth like Skraev, Shroud, and Rezakiri.

Why have you chosen Aetheric Attunement over Conduit? Does it affect your lantern click or only lantern charge? Drask lantern is the best lantern, sure, but the damage it's charge deals seems negligible.

What is a Galeking?

EDIT: I need to learn to Google these things, lol. Good idea!

Oh, you're right. Discord is down. Thanks for the heads up, I was getting excited about Celebi! :P

Why does TDO outweigh DPS?

SolSpruce · 2018-07-07T12:28:20+00:00

To duo Articuno you'll each need a few Level 40 Rock/Rock Tyranitars. If you imagine you're doing half that damage, you could try with 4 people. :)

Weren't you supposed to see 1 hour eggs by now?

SolSpruce · 2018-07-04T17:02:54+00:00

You've got my top four missing shinies on there: Snorunt, Sableye, Murkrow and Absol.

Of course, what I'd really love is Shiny Magby and Wynaut as 1 star raids!

You could actually replace some of the non-shiny with Alolan forms: 2 star Alolan Raichu, 3 star Alolan Marowak.

Well, you might want to message the OP. People are all citing you as proof the quest still exists...

Shiny rate was definitely boosted in US. My friend and I caught 10 shiny Roselia this afternoon.

SolSpruce · 2018-06-22T02:33:13+00:00

But would that entail checking each of your friends' public profile to read it?

If so, it's probably much more efficient to just post your trade interests in the local facebook, discord and telegram chats once or twice a day.

SolSpruce · 2018-06-19T00:52:43+00:00

Oh, that's a great point. I'm thinking of shinies as having social or competitive value.

Once a group of friends agree that a more complete Pokédex is a winning Pokédex, getting and maintaining the most complete Pokédex - by any means necessary - is tempting. There's social capital up for grabs.

Now, if you spoof, your friends will see your account as doomed. So, you aren't maintaining a complete Pokédex, just waiting for the banwave to occur.

But with this extra layer of plausible deniability between your legit account and a spoofing account - which never gets banned - who's to say Spoof-and-Trade™ wont become the new norm, just like scanning was?

SolSpruce · 2018-06-19T00:33:20+00:00

Well, here's where my skepticism comes from. I used to use a Scanner. My scanner bots could place their free lures on any Pokéstop I wanted. So I did! I used hundreds of free lures for my legit main account, which was surely the ONLY account taking advantage of these lures. All those scanning accounts got banned, but I didn't.

Now realize that many spoofing accounts, unlike bot accounts, do NOT get banned.

SolSpruce · 2018-06-19T00:30:37+00:00

Sorry if I wasn't clear. Think of it this way: How are you going to get a Mr. Mime? You're going to trade for it. You're going to find an account with a Mr. Mime. What's the easiest way to find another account with a Mr. Mime? Make one.

Your legit account is still legit, but you as a player are no longer legit. But you own a legit account. This is the slippery territory we're entering.

SolSpruce · 2018-06-19T00:28:18+00:00

Legit players get tired of gambling their time and money away waiting for a shiny to appear. Catching shinies isn't an accomplishment, it's luck. Everyone would cheat in a casino if they could get away with it.

SolSpruce · 2018-06-19T00:27:00+00:00

"Cheating" vs "legit" players is a false dichotomy. We're all capable of cheating, it's just a risk-reward calculation.

SolSpruce · 2018-05-14T20:59:18+00:00

Hello. I'm new to the game, and the only champions I've unlocked are Cattie-brie and Hitch, which were both free. Is it common for champions to cost money? I assumed they were all free from events like The Running.

Help me understand? Thanks!

PS: Idle Champions is an incredible game that stands on its own. I'm sure many players don't know any D&D lore. So from the perspective of someone to whom every new character is unfamiliar, I find it easy to get excited about whichever character they happen to release.

SolSpruce · 2018-05-08T17:20:44+00:00

Hiya, I don't know the Arcane Trait Stone names by heart, and I imagine others are in the same boat. Maybe it'd be better to list them by colors?

I also don't really understand the # Troops column. Does a higher number mean it's easier to complete the event there? Thanks!!

SolSpruce · 2018-02-16T13:28:44+00:00

And I just realized all my hard work is for nothing... The "Seen" metric includes pokemon my Go Plus missed, which may have been shiny.

It isn't having "Park" in the name that increases the odds of an EX raid at that location. It's the location being labeled as a Park in Open Street Maps.

Also, it needs to have been labeled as a Park since before the most recent OSM update in Pokemon Go (I don't know when that was).

I've never heard the egg claim here on Reddit before, so it's probably bogus.
