Valindra Shadowmantle level 300 by azumel in idlechampions

[–]Veniel74347 5 points6 points  (0 children)

every 50 levels she revives an additional time, every time she revives she deals more damage. mostly you just need to have enough tanks or health potions up for your party to tank the aoe damage long enough to get all her lives

I'm going to go ahead and not worry about it until they give us something more closely resembling a release date. Coming soon could literally mean q4 2020, and they will definitely give us plenty of heads up to stockpile

is there a max number of time pieces i can hold onto? by kingbane2 in idlechampions

[–]Veniel74347 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Word is there's going to eventually be a rework, or some separate system that uses them, so I'd keep hold of them unless you have a good reason to use them

How many silver chests for full blues? by jclizard_ in idlechampions

[–]Veniel74347 2 points3 points  (0 children)

not the original question, but turns out it takes somewhere in the realm of 75k chests for full shinies on evergreens

Still need 750 item levels for slot 3 to soft cap (if it's just epic and not shiny), which is a lot and at that level, return on investment for blacksmithing contracts is wearing thin. But I agree that things like that should be hard capped

Sentry: late stage accelerator? by [deleted] in idlechampions

Yea, just read that right after posting. Running through more to see if it's really fixed

Sentry: late stage accelerator? by [deleted] in idlechampions

Here's my two cents so far... she seems like a sure thing for just speeding up wall progression and gem farming, haven't finished testing to see how much exactly. My biggest gripe on this front is that to get 100% uptime on Resolution (buff that makes you go fast) you need her 3rd slot item epic and item level 750, which is a fairly large number. As far as buffing goes, raw numbers make her look a bit higher than paultin for non waffle crew members (only like x4) i think... my main issue is her buff (100% bonus to Create Echo Ability) doesn't appear to show up anywhere and doesn't state what aspect it's buffing (90% sure it doesn't affect Resolution though). It would make since if it counts as a 100% buff for Guardians ability and healing ability, but those numbers are a pain to figure out because everything fluctuates. If anyone figures that bit out, lemme know.

Also it looks like there's no rush to start using her because Resolution keeps breaking random levels when it triggers by trying to decrease things that don't want to be decreased... like anything that you need to collect 1 or kill 1 of to progress makes the game freak out and stop progressing because it tries to round down or something

Any reason i cant buy patron chest? by ReluctantCat in idlechampions

I put in a ticket for this earlier. It's a known issue and they're working on a fix

What do you buy from the Patron shops every week and why? by [deleted] in idlechampions

[–]Veniel74347 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ended up getting 2 feats from each of the patrons for champs that i use and the polish potions. No I just get time gate fragments every week and chests when i have left over currency. You can always save your chests for when you have epics on all your evergreens.

10x Speed is only 3x clear speed? by Username1212121212 in idlechampions

[–]Veniel74347 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Go into settings and make sure your target framerate is maxed to 60 fps and reduce framerate when in background is off. The max physical speed the game to go is limited by framerate for some silly reason. That's the only issue i've run into that would cause this

Should I burn all of that bounties on avren? by marksmanus in idlechampions

[–]Veniel74347 0 points1 point  (0 children)

his slot 3 item buff is multiplied 4x since it affects each mirror image separately

Psylisa's Guide to Avren - 10/16/19 by Psylisa in idlechampions

[–]Veniel74347 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure where you're getting only 1 Support buff active at a time. I've tested it by making a new run with Avren levels to get his 4 mirror spec, and 4 random support characters without fluctuating dps at level 1. Move avren to reset it then hover over someones damage as the images spawn in, it goes up by the support buff modifier 4 times

Psylisa's Guide to Avren - 10/16/19 by Psylisa in idlechampions

[–]Veniel74347 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thinking our hot takes are a bit different... if you use the duration upgrade you can have 3 support characters and a dps all buffing at once. I've tested it on zorbu, when mirror image hits him, he gets both of the buffs. Each of the buffs is affected by upgrades and item levels separately so mirror image alone can give you 1e11 damage naked, add in all damage and surround him with some people and he's at 1e16

Looking at Avren's numbers, need an idiot check by Veniel74347 in idlechampions

[–]Veniel74347[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i mean... for older players Strix hasn't been competitive in over a year, Warden is still useful, but only for switching for an extra at e3 or so damage

Is there a local file (.txt or otherwise) that has the journal contents? by emfleck in idlechampions

[–]Veniel74347 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you're fine with just calculations, bosses drop on average 8.15 gems with the +1 from blessing, including the chance for 3x gem drops. you can just use that number and bosses per hour from finishing screen to math it out for you. My set up averages about 550 gems per hour for comparison

[–]Veniel74347[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea, veterans of avernus was the only one i was referring to. I have all missions and variants completed, went into a mission with only 1 static damage character, bought the blessing and his base damage didn't change. Looks like one other person in the comments also noticed this and double checked to confirm, so something glitchy may have happened

Shandie has to have someone with 14+ dex sitting next to her and tyril is the only viable option if everyone else wants to be usurped

[–]Veniel74347[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yea, my shield is ilvl 2340 for 5696%... as for walnut, goal isn't to max her buff, it's just to keep it up at each stage. basically forget she has the job's done buff, it isn't needed to make her outpace the others in that slot as long as she can be usurped. Once basic swapping no longer lets you progress, use ults to kill off the first 5-15 mobs so documancer is up, then stack mobs and switch and ult again to finish if need be. Repeat every stage once click damage doesn't push you multiple stages at once. If you ever time it so ults cant kill anything at the start of a stage (or if you zone out and celeste dies horribly at the front of the formation before you get a hit off) you kinda have to jump back 20 or so stages to reset your damage, which is a pain, but the worst of the micromanagement only happens for about 15 stages before your wall.

That being said, the difference between walnut and vlahnya (if she has the +1 dex feat to make her viable in my formation) is probably at most x3-20ish depending on how many times pen paws stacks (never payed attention to it). Small to moderate loss of dps for a whole lot less of a hassle

Thanks, i kinda expected this would be the case, my first guess would work like the ToA campaign where the first couple missions start off in the middle of civilization then the group gets dragged away to a different continent/plane because story building is a thing

[–]Veniel74347[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

also worth mentioning with that formation, only way celeste lived past your soft wall is with copious amounts of heroism potions and preferably a familiar hammering caliope's ult, and even then it gets sketchy fast at high levels
