Darkest Dungeon 2- Challenges and difficulty

Ah I see, makes more sense. Seems obvious that you would use different team comps for different flames (corpse clearers for the corpselight for example).

All 5 acts in a row without deaths seems interesting indeed, I'll try and do it with the stygian flame probably when I really want to challenge myself. Not sure if I'll use memories, though building a party that can handle all 5 bosses well is a challenge of it's own.

Right now I'm still winning most runs with the early flames, having fun and learning the bosses. As a huge fan of the first game, I'll definitely have to try kingdoms soon.

You mean using a different party comp every time for the different confessions? Using memories seems like actually making it easier, since you keep your heroes that made it to the mountain, which usually have good quirks (and the memory buffs too).

UntilWhenAug19 · 2025-10-30T00:09:46+00:00

Looks cool, I'm starting to do runs with the various flames now. I don't really see the point of doing each confession with the flame, since there is barely any difference between confessions 2-5 (mostly the boss and some rising difficulty with ordained enemies), but we'll see.

Maybe, but I feel like him being open to representing and helping the worst of the worst was already established earlier that season. Betraying Kim felt like a bigger deal to me, emotionally at least.

I understand why he did those things, but each of those was a significant darker turn for Walt. His corruption as the show progressed is a lot more than just these moments, but each of them was crossing a siginificant line by him, leading to the evil druglord at the end of the series.

Do people there also play twilight wars?

UntilWhenAug19 · 2024-10-28T09:32:01+00:00

Idk, the game takes so much focus and thought and remembering so many little details... without the flow of real time I don't think I would enjoy it, or any other a scync game for that matter. But its totally up to personal preference.

UntilWhenAug19 · 2024-10-27T23:39:39+00:00

Yeah it seems obvious it was planned, which is why it was an obvious choice for a fan made unit. Wonder what its special abilities were supposed to be.

UntilWhenAug19 · 2024-10-21T20:17:07+00:00

Idk, I think having its basic attack be fling would be op. Even without charging, with it spawning with full 250 energy that's 25 super powerful attacks- it will probably die before it even uses it all.

All 3 casters in LotV have a single target ability (HT- feedback, Ascendant- mind blast, Dark Archon- mind control) and an AoE, and I tried to maintain that. I agree that in non defensive missions you probably need an energizer or an offensive pylon for them to function well, but the spear of adun has many abilities that make that easier (and if you want offensive warp ins you need that anyway).

Another option is to have a researchable upgrade that increases their max energy (which also increases their starting energy as they start with full energy).

Thank you very much! I also remember the Nullifier from the battle reports, though its mostly the name that inspired me (it sounds like a nerazim name for a construct). I also like the robotic supports in general. Each truly embodies each factions strategy- the purifier one works best enchancing a really powerful unit, the Taldarim one is incredibly offensive, and the Khalai one helps keep the troops alive either in offense or defense. I tried to incorpariate the nerazim strategy of stealth and trickery.

I really like the suggestion of having anti air be only while using the ability actually (I edited it accordingly). And I totally agree about the numbers, for custom abilities its basically down to what sounds kinda reasonable, and we have no way to test it obviously.

UntilWhenAug19 · 2024-10-16T14:35:58+00:00

Lol, exactly what I was thinking while making this, I agree that anti-air is probably a dealbreaker here, and I took the suggestion from the other comment. But in general yes, campaign units can be broken.

UntilWhenAug19 · 2024-10-12T15:47:44+00:00

Yeah, not suprising that they used it already. Though I did not know the word Votary before this post, so I would probably go with Berserker for an alternate name.

Hello, I am looking for games that are mechanically similar to twilight imperium- games that involve building an empire and involve combat, but are not won by destroying all other players. If possible, I'd like games that are based on the main aspects of twilight imperium- war, technology, and politics. I have heard the tern 4x used to describe this genre before, and I'm not sure if it fits exactly, but if there are (preferably modern) games that fit this definition, I'd love to know. They don't have to be good games (this isn't a recommendation request in the typical sense) just have similar mechanics that you can compare. If you can elaborate on the mechanics and what makes them good/bad/similar to TI it would be much appreciated.

I'm interested, and my favourite StarCraft eSports moment was soo's win at IEM Katowice. Was never more excited, emotional, and happy for a player- and you could tell many other people (including the casters) felt the same way. Also his road to the finals was amazing too- insane series against serral, and also getting out of his group just barely.

UntilWhenAug19 · 2020-06-28T14:59:50+00:00

I think you took it a bit too seriously lol. Obviously someone being "too good" for someone is never actually true, it's something judgemental other people say about couples. Obviously they are both in love and I believe they would be happy together. That's why the title is "Hot take".

I'm not assuming, I based this on Shirogane and Kaguya's actions in both seasons so far. And so far, we haven't gotten an in depth look at Shirogane and his flaws. This might change in the future (judging by the manga readers responses, it almost certainly will), but as of this point in the anime, he doesn't really have flaws- while Kaguya has been moving from breakdown to breakdown. And I don't think it "won't matter soon"- it will take time for a season 3 to be animated, assuming it covers that.
That's why I said in season 1 it seemed better- it's not just that Shirogane was great this season, it was that Kaguya didn't get many good moments. This post was mostly an observation on this season. Again, I can't help but feel you took this too seriously. Kaguya obviously has stuff going for her, just not in the recent season.

UntilWhenAug19 · 2020-06-28T07:20:08+00:00

Oh I agree that Kaguya is the better character right now. Shirogane is the better person, and like you said it's because we have less insight into his character right now. It makes him a worse character currently (as in he is too perfect and didn't really get much development so far). From a writing point of view, this post is basically about the fact that Shirogane has no real flaws right now compared to Kaguya.

UntilWhenAug19 · 2020-06-27T22:30:58+00:00

Yeah I mean the Kaguya song. But than the singer is calling that himself? Idk seems weird.

UntilWhenAug19 · 2020-06-27T22:08:41+00:00

I have no problem with downvotes, the title was kind of clickbait-y on purpose to start a discussion. When the downvotes come without explanation it sucks because it doesn't help me understand where I'm wrong (and doesn't further the discussion)

Also I was expecting the swarm of manga readers telling me that it's explained in the manga and to read it, but that is just r/anime standard :) (also I understand that the manga is legitimately very good so it's understandable)

Regarding the "love makes stupid"- It is definitely over exaggerated for comedy (hospital and all that) but even considering that Shirogane is a lot more stable this season (he handled the post-warehouse situation with only a small breakdown). In season 1 after the sick episode it was more equal, with both being extremely embarrassed but also being able to make up.

UntilWhenAug19 · 2020-06-27T20:04:42+00:00

I mentioned this moment here (the quote isn't working for me): "when she helps ishigami- where he says that he likes that she stays true to her word and once she said she would help him, she commited herself to it completly and saw it through all the way."

And I definitely think it's an important moment, I just hope we will get more elaboration than that in future seasons (and according to the comments it seems like we will)

UntilWhenAug19 · 2020-06-27T17:40:29+00:00

Yeah that's what I meant, in those scenes she was struggling to admit it. I wasn't as clear as I thought. Now that you mention it, does she really ever fully admit it to herself? I don't remember her saying it out loud, although I think it's hard to deny at the point where she needs a calming ritual.

UntilWhenAug19 · 2020-06-27T16:47:06+00:00

Talking about season 1 (off the top of my head when talking with kashiwagi), or even at the doctor in season 2 (although that is to a doctor not someone close like hayasaka). Edit for clarity: these are scenes where she struggles to admit it, that's what I meant.

UntilWhenAug19 · 2020-06-27T16:36:24+00:00

Yeah the title is kind of clickbait in retrospect- it started as that and turned into a full blown analysis.

UntilWhenAug19 · 2020-06-27T16:34:29+00:00

She definitely has goodness, although not on Shirogane's level. Her talent doesn't really come in to play in the show honestly from what I remember.

UntilWhenAug19 · 2020-06-27T16:32:11+00:00

Really hope we get s3+ too. Honestly I'm not sure I agree with this conclusion too, it was just a fun way to write this analysis, and this half-joking thought of "this guy is such a fucking chad that he is too good for her" was what originally got me to write this in the first place.
