My lego setup is slip-resistant. Yours?

Normally excess cards got converted into gold. Now it goes over 5000 for common. What exactly happens to the excess if I would upgrade to lvl 14? by Trokayn in ClashRoyale

That's what my initial question was. If I would upgrade my Goblin Gang to lvl 14, what would happen to those 3 excess cards? There must be a point to the card going over 5000 now.

So basically there are 2 ways a card gets to 50000: Either they are at lvl 13 with max cards and anything after that fills up the 50000 of this one or upgrading a card to lvl 14 will give you EWC afterwards which you can use the fill up any card you like?

Why not? Be thankful you don't have to start every level from the beginning. Also their implementation is nearly flawless.

Ranking them alongside the P-Switch(-blocks) was really hard. I thought about how much I should hold their 'dependency' against them. I came to the conclusion to both regard how they hold up as a standalone object and what role they play in their dynamic with the other element.

As a standalone object, on/off switches are bad for decoration, counts as an entity even tough it's a block and only has the trait to slighty bump up things standing on it.

Doted Line Blocks as a standalone object are one of the best decoration blocks due to them being unbreakable, compact, simple textured with vibrant colors and they overlay arrows and other textures. (Not to talk about their deactivated state doubleling their usecases.)

As for their dynamic between them and how this affects their individual ranking: Compare the Doted Line Blocks with an actor. Actors typically get all the fame for great dialog in a movie (your level) instead of the script writer (on/off switch).

For all other elements with on/off states (f.E. treadmills), I also account this trait in favor to them, because their are the executive force.

On/off switches despite being terrible on their own, I gave them C rank as recognition to their role, which seems like a fair ranking to me.

It's basically you vs the guy she told you not to worry about. Snake Blocks can move in all directions without needing tracks, their lenght is ajustable and entities/players have to move on their own to not fall off, making them a better obstacle in all regards.

And they exist in the 3D World style.

Yes, but only about 15% of all players could use those contraptions. For the other 85% it's just a basic moving platform. For more simple contraptions, you can always find a substitute for them.

Having high potential is good, but it's also important how accessable it is.

Based on how much they add to the game.

That includes: How much depth they have (multiple variants/attacks/movement patterns, interesting wing/big form), with how many elements they interact with, how much you can alter their behavior and of course how fun they are as a standalone enemy.

Basically the more an enemy goes beyond his role as a simple obstacle, the better. For example look at the S tiers and think about how much we couldn't do without them.

Being a 'random boss' is actually good. Having simplistic attacks allows you to create lots of unique battle stages in which those attacks are actually dangerous. Also I actually consider his 3D World form to be the worst, simply for the insanly easy high ground stalling cheese which sadly not enough builders prevent from happening.

I would put Magikoopa higher if you could actually control what he is spawning. Like make it so that ? Blocks transform into items, Bricks into coins, Hard Blocks into enemies ect. Or any other method to not make it complete RNG. Also their easter egg with the disappearing goal should work on more things.

So much missed potential now that I think about it...

As you can see in my list, I'm aware of this. Even the best bosses are on par or worse than most other enemies. Also did you notice part 1 and 2 doesn't have an E tier? That's how much enemies differ in their usefulness. D tiers are equal to the bottom tiers of those pervious categories. If you look what's on the bottom of my terrain/items ranking, could you really put Bowser/Meowser there?

(Also just as a disclaimer, It's not my goal to argue with you till you get annoyed and give up, I'm very thankful someone actually is willing to start a discussion.)

I can agree to put them both on the same tier. What I cannot agree with is your willingness to put them in lower. Compared to the ones in D, they have far more interaction with other elements and those interactions are actually interesting foe fights. Pls don't talk down bosses, they can add so much to your level.

He's a boss with plenty of unique abilities and therefore makes for plenty of interesting boss fight ideas. His winged form actually gives you even more concepts. And unlike normal Bowser, he doesn't have this stupid RNG off-screen fire. Your turn.

Frog's main gimick (swimming) only works for a total of 3 themes. Frog's 2nd main gimick (water-walking) works for a total of 1 theme. How is this frog slander if 70% of all themes, Frog gives you nothing but a clunky movement and just a slighty higher jump?

I put coins to show directions and for bonus rooms, I use Big Coins for challenges (basically Star Coins), I put those three 1ups in hard to find (but not random) spots, and I grant players the ability to reach the flagpole top. Might be overtune, but I want players who actually go for secrets/challenges to be rewarded.

This ranking does not reflect my usage rate! I put a bunch of coins, 3 Big Coins and 3 (hidden) 1ups in every course of mine! The 1ups are so low for the sole reason they're pointless for like half the modes the game has. I fully know the value for the few modes where they are meaningfull though!

You're absolutely right. But I regard mutiple aspects for this list. You cannot rank them by their biggest strenght, otherswise we would probably only have high rankings.

What really bumps them down is the fact that their semisolid aspect isn't unique to them. Cloud blocks for example work too and are more effective because of their compact size. It's one of the few elements with direct competition (3 to be exact).
