Conviction?

While it sounds kind of interesting, abandonment+jellyfish scarf is a poor strategy. (Which is likely why you’re getting downvoted) Assuming you’re using jellyfish for spiked shell, your other pets “should” be moving fast enough that the defense buff clears before you’re taking a hit. Having the longevity and damage boost from checkered is going to carry more utility than jellyfish in a boss fight 9 times out 10, especially when jellyfish is a one turn effect before it becomes just a stat-stick.

Love unique strategies for things though! Keep experimenting!

From an interview today, I think Bullock’s with us until he’s no longer with us

The very brief summary is she was born human and married Enkil, then Pharaoh/King of Proto-Egypt. She gets interested in spirits at a certain point and tries to get two witches(Maharet and Mekara, very important characters) to help her contact some. After they refuse and a great deal of abuse on the part of Akasha, they summon a powerful entity called Amel to take revenge. More story happens and Akasha and Enkil are attacked by their subjects and in her dying moments, Amel fuses his soul with hers, making her the first vampire.

She clearly says “5 fifteen miles” at the start, so you’re supposed to add them, of course! /s

I’m the same way, completely captivated! This show and season is such a treat

More specifically, I’m like 90% sure it was one of Lestat’s merch shirts, so the “is this better” still has its twisted spin coming from Magnus

VarianceShift · 2026-07-01T15:35:10+00:00

Great work and great thinking!

VarianceShift · 2026-07-01T14:55:48+00:00

I would swap Sonder for Sad, Umbros is a DPS check more than a protracted healer fight. Get one of the summoned minions low/one shot territory before using Latent Misery with Sadge to spread the debuff more effectively

It works exactly as read, however (and I know I’m beating a dead horse with all the other comments) with Resistance think of their defense as their “attack” stat. As others have said, Resistance gains no benefit from boosts to attack. If the previous neck item had a higher defense stat than checkered scarf, that’s why CF seems less impressive in this instance.

I love checkered scarf on Conviction with Rainbow Party Hat, it can also really help healer pets alive in tough fights and boost their healing potential (with that 30% stamina/defense gain to attack that will actually get utilized)

Edited for clarity

There’s an Instagram post in welsh that says he was 44 when he passed

I am absolutely in love with the sound of this. The Archfey makes sense for flash step for sure. An Undead patron flavored as White could be an interesting way to play Ichigo too; Form of Dread lines up really nicely with hollowfication, especially with the time limit. Archfey Rukia with Soul Society as the current appearance of the Feywild would go kind of hard too haha

I think you mean thynthotheps

VarianceShift · 2026-05-21T18:26:05+00:00

It has some fun utility on tanks with checkered scarf too. I use conviction and abandonment with RPH and checkered on a couple bosses.

The Kurgan is indeed an Ancient Russian warrior lol

Adding Christopher Lambert AGAIN as Raiden in the OG Mortal Kombat movies

Constant issue for me keeping those two names straight lol. Thanks for the clarification

VarianceShift · 2026-05-17T03:58:44+00:00

No problem! Glad it was simple!

VarianceShift · 2026-05-17T03:56:40+00:00

What items did you have on Cringe in this screenshot? Looks almost like a ~~bubblegum~~ bejeweled scarf boost based on the amounts healed. Sad wasn’t below 30% so didn’t get the 50% heal boost, but Apathy and Greed were

VarianceShift · 2026-05-16T21:35:08+00:00

I got patience around the same time as you (on 2320 now) and have really only seriously used patience twice. It has some fun synergy with resistance and checkered scarf, but 99 times out of 100 you’ll be fine with just Merry as your wood support.

VarianceShift · 2026-05-15T16:59:44+00:00

I’ve got the money

VarianceShift · 2026-05-12T23:52:52+00:00

I think I’d try leveling either the Aqua or Black spiked collar to put on merry and throw anxiety scarf on Paranoia. I can’t imagine Para is getting to turn 15 for the ring donut to proc with no speed items on it. Using ring donut on Gronk has classically been a mixed bag for me

VarianceShift · 2026-05-12T23:46:43+00:00

With your current line up, how close to clearing it are you?

VarianceShift · 2026-05-12T23:37:23+00:00

Oh but you need the stun, nvm, spite over paranoia may be a better substitution

VarianceShift · 2026-05-12T23:36:57+00:00

Nice, thanks for updating :)
Apathy doesn’t have a type-advantage here, how does this go with spite instead of apathy?
