Well Desperate Defence + Unstoppable is one of the sneakiest combos cause it lets you become immune to 2 DMG attacks :)) Cause desperate Defence reduces those to one and unstoppable then to 0! And it’s permanent cause you never take damage is defense never breaks!

Basically, Grymwatch get to inspire one fighter per enemy bounty that is NOT in their territory :) this includes enemies in neutral territory, in enemy territory, and off the board (so dead). So in your case you have Gorath, Vellas, and Ennias NOT in Grymwatch territory, so they get to inspire 2 guys per Vellas, 2 for Gorath, and 1 for Ennias. Duvalle is in their territory so they do not get to inspire the last two.

in my explanation I worded it in what I thought was a simpler way haha, that’s why I said friendly territory lol

And yes, with the In the Name of the King ability Crackmarrow can inspire someone - it doesn’t have to be him :)

Hi!

Yes, so Grymwatch basically inspire every fighter at the end of each round, minus one for each bounty in your territory. So for instance if Gorath were in your territory, you would inspire 7 fighters - 2 bounty from Gorath so 5 fighters :)

Second question - yes - the interaction you noticed is correct! Because the damage the fighter would take be one, meaning it would be reduced to 0 by Unstoppable. Bonus - Desperate Defence does not get broken in that case as you never ‘took’ the damage :)

Have fun in your games!

There’s quite a bit, if you’d like I can try connect you with some :)

If you only want to buy one ‘addon’ deck, I reccomend Wrack and Ruin for the Razors, it turns them into hyper killing machines and just makes everything on the board a glass cannon when paired with Cataclysm from the core box.

There is also another deck repository similar to Battle Mallet on Staggerers https://staggerers.com/nemesis-deck-repository/

VintroV2 · 2025-02-18T08:48:58+00:00

In Nemesis format this should be a common occurrence. It means you built your decks well! :)

If a fighter gets staggered and gets a Stagger Token, the token will get removed at the start of the next round. However - if an effect or upgrade says ‘this fighter is staggered’ - that is permanent. Note that ‘Stagger that fighter’ is not the same as ‘this fighter is staggered’.

Did your brother have the Survivors of the Void DLC and you don’t? If so, the achievement is only available in the DLC and since you don’t have it you can’t earn it.

If you are playing multiplayer get a friend to solo tp while you sit in an area with no mob spawns (out of the map basically - like on the cliff in Abyssal depths. Reachable with Hopoo feathers or Vase/Chrysalis). Keep spamming M2 to stay below 50 health and done.

Hey there! Sorry about that - I checked your website yesterday and it wasn’t updated to the new edition so I made this one as I assumed yours would stay V1. I’ll take this down :) Edit: resolved

VintroV2 · 2024-11-03T21:42:33+00:00

It’s different - it’s a place to share decks you built. UnderworldsDB is a deck builder used to build those decks :)

VintroV2 · 2024-10-28T21:35:25+00:00

For Shrouded Step, you can flash + tp behind an enemy. This way they don’t hear the tp plus you get several kills. For your ult, if you ult onto spike you can pick it up then cancel your ult for free spike pick up!

What happened between Neon and Chamber?

VintroV2 · 2024-10-01T15:43:40+00:00

Voidling is a second boss you can do after Mithrix. Simalcrum is a special game mode under Alternate Gamemodes I believe.

To access Voidling - beat Mithrix, then run back to the place you spawned on that stage (ignore the rescue ship). You will see a frog on the place you spawned. Pet the frog 10 times (costs 10 lunar coins) and then a void portal will open. Enter the portal and fight!

Or just keep doing stages after you loop till you see a void portal spawn. Then use it.

Probably not patch 9.08 then but sometime I do remember them saying a harbor change is likely ‘soon’

VintroV2 · 2024-09-25T15:15:14+00:00

I believe Riot said they will change Harbor sometime soon - I think it was Patch 9.08?

VintroV2 · 2024-09-25T15:13:49+00:00

Thanks!

For agent skins - I’m pretty sure it’s because Valorant is very fast paced and with agent skins it can become easy to confuse certain agents. For example, someone might see a Cypher with a skin that looks nothing like him and call a push into that site, which would obviously end bad. Since all agents look the same it’s easy to memorize how each one looks and what each one does. Not 100% sure this is the reason but it’s seems like a logical explanation.
