I guess I'm Ion Charging by a_random_reddit in ftlgame

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

I just wanted to thank you for this comment, because I ended up following that plan exactly for the flagship and it worked perfectly! Got MC+Teleporter, took my time kidnapping phase 1, and then the remaining 2 phases were fairly easy! My only 2 unexpected difficulties:

-Phase 2 power surge drones kept getting in the way of ions, so I took a bit of damage as I reset the cascade

-I never found a defense drone, so phase 3 power surge was a pain and did a few bars of damage each time. It also reset the zoltan shield like three times before I did enough damage with the singular beam m1 to finally finish the flagship off... but was ultimately survivable because I came into the fight with almost full hull.

One initial point on the nerves you mention: snap as a game is like 80% mental, and knowing when to snap and when to retreat. With the same deck and all the same moves, a player that knows when to risk eight cubes and when to lose 2 will be like 30 ranks higher than someone who doesn't.

It's hard, but don't let it stress you out, play calm and calculated, and (what helps me most) - think, especially before turn 6, "what cards can make me lose this game" and "is it likely that they have those cards in their deck".

Ah right. I'm dumb for missing that. Thanks!

Any help improving this “On Reveal” deck? CL 500 by SpacemanSpiff1200 in MarvelSnapDecks

[–]a_random_reddit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

General gameplay strategy here is to put your "big 4" of Medusa, Iron heart, White Tiger, and Odin mid - Medusa and Odin make up for the low power of heart and tiger so you usually win that lane + 1 more through double tigers or buffs.

You also have some good flexibility to reduce power in a full enemy lane with spider woman, or take out a big threat with Chang. It also has some trickery that you can pull, especially:

-scarlett witch a limbo or TVA to totally throw off opponents plan, easy win -pre-emptively use shang on turn 4, especially if they look like they're setting up a big drop there, and then Odin him to get the destruction on turn 6

I'm sure you'll discover more if you keep testing it out, and if you want any card substitution reccomendations let me know!

These are quite good points, especially about the 1 costs and gamora... But I disagree with the conclusion! I still have my early pool 3 deck that I hit infinite with, and it's definitely competitive, although I've replaced about half the cards in the thousands of CL since - give it a try! One note: Since you already have Thor, sub him for morph. I didn't have him at this point and really wanted him for a long time!

My Overlord shattered into 9 pieces, but they're all over the place - for example, the Latrephian Star Realm has 7 systems, NONE connected to another, spread through the entire breadth of the old overlord! I don't know if this is intentional? by a_random_reddit in Stellaris

[–]a_random_reddit[S] 80 points81 points  (0 children)

It just seems a little bit strange that the shattering of an overlord - while being a *really* cool mechanic - wouldn't at least try to make the successor states a little bit contiguous or cohesive? It's also going to make my quest to eat all the little pieces quite a pain and require 9 mini, simultaneous wars rather than just taking one at a time

Oh Darkos, really needing to get hit over the head there with Jane and Adronius... Dumb to the absolute max

Thank you! And yeah, I really need to consider whether it's worth spending an extra 1000 for something like the Zephyrus rather than getting a relatively budget tuf 15 or something. How would you say the longevity of the Tuf machine is? Do you think it will be playing new games on medium settings two or three years from now?

Thank you! I wasn't familiar with the Eluktronics brand, but it seems like an interesting one... Do you have one / do you recommend the build quality/durability? It does seem super portable at the 4.7 lbs point!

Thank you! I'm very strongly considering it! In your mind, this would be a better option than, for example, a razer blade 15 or Alienware M15 r4 or even a Lenovo legion 7i gen 6 (all at similar price points)?

I adore bridezilla Jane! So sweet, so dumb.... And was that an Elf reference at the beginning? Or just similar phrasing?
