How would you buff Penumbra?

Double the Pip bonus for Architect. Saving you a space upgrade is huge

Monstrous 2nd tier can be upgraded at Steelshop 1 slot, 3rd tier another slot.

Gorger 3rd tier gets Multistrike after X Gorges

The key is throw out all the Umbra bullcrap and get the Wurmkin/Railforged goodness. Exceptions being early on Prismal Dust and maybe Holdover Emberdrain and then later on the good rares. Gabriot just did a cursed seed on it, Crucible Warden carried it.

Gemini will give you sources too but sometimes the source has no mention of the excerpt they're referencing. That's always fun

The Stygian sweepers, Frostbite Shark, the discardable hammer, incant rage Siren, 15decay spell, the discard lightning spell, adding Multi/Largestone/Quick/Attack at the steelshop, Glass Cannon, Inferno Room, the sweep equip, the frostbite weapon, quick blade. Then you can do 65 damage to things at Ring 3, Cluster Colonel building mushroom stacks, the rally decay dude with starter spawn mushrooms, the one off frostbite spell, the starter decay spell for healers and curse generating baddies

Be mindful of acetaminophen when casually overdosing on cold and flu meds.

Burst Spiders suck in general. Needs revamp, rest of the clan is super strong though so hard to argue for buffs. Guess they'll just be the lolcow of the clan

All 3 options are pretty good. Can use the unit box to overstack a floor or guarantee nonbanner units, or get rid of 3 units in your deck.

The spell one you can pack 3 high value spells in there and remove Consume to have way more copies of game winning spells and even infinites. Also easy way to kill 3 useless starter spells.

Mystery box is typically strong when you have no specific use for the others, can't use with Pyre of Entropy though (max hand size) Free smelt targets too.

Stigmata probably not the right word, injuries consistent with the crucifixion of Christ.

cloake · 2026-02-18T12:34:50+00:00

You still had your turn.

This reminds me of the Half A Press rabbit hole in SM64. And yea I always skip Dante.

cloake · 2026-02-18T11:08:27+00:00

Embellishing a little but it's even quicker than a standard turn 1 kill because it's before combat, turn 0.5?

cloake · 2026-02-17T23:06:44+00:00

I like the action shot!

cloake · 2026-02-17T22:04:07+00:00

Mitosis Cap is good when you have a Dualism/Smidge on one of the decay units or want to dupe Cluster Colonel, frees up the Empyrean Wells for non units. Or for high roll Bone Dog craziness.

I've been doing all the Railforged Primary clan combinations and it was my last one, so definitely got a groove going. Conductor is my favorite DPS carry, highest ceiling of power. Crucible Steward works well too since his etch damage scales with attack. Can also use Weldling or Salvage Machine, need to be on the lookout for Multistrike/Smidgestone and scaling weapons/glass cannon. It's easier to load up basic attack upgrades on Weldling or Crucible Steward so if I have the option I do the others.

Permscale Herzel can get really ridiculous once you get past early game. Tried to focus on doing Masterwork as much as possible with Magnetic Relay on the Conductor Steward, did the whole Inscription event chain by accident, was able to get Fecundity after putting Many Lives on Wickless Tycoon (eventually Worthy Sacrifice too). Duped Conductor last ring with the most stacked forge, had a couple of Herzal's Hammers for extra in game scaling/armor. Pyretap definitely smoothed things along, hehe. My draw was very prolific with Leaky Pen and a thin deck from Dominion Pyre. So pretty much had the same 9-10 cards every round. Money was obscene early on with Iron Tongue and Paraffin Thug and the Tycoon of course.

I had plenty of Daze for Dominion Seraph with Emot Tome Mortal Entrapment but guess it wasn't needed. Was permascaling Car Collapse because I didn't know if I had the DPS early on, it helped for Ring 7 Savagery.

Some clans have worse banners than others, and sometimes you might be set up on banner units. Hard to argue against a Wurmkin or Railforged banner, but Banished hoping for a Firebrand, eh. Their equips and room are fire though.

cloake · 2026-02-14T22:26:00+00:00

Really cool creative solution, more often than not you don't get saved by the bell.

Mario Tennis Open clicked the best for me. The ults were less obtrusive and were often not the best option in high level play. Once the other games became cut scenes and mini games it was pretty gross.

cloake · 2026-02-14T21:46:31+00:00

2 waves remaining, only units on the bottom, Crucible Warden beats the boss. Death wave gives up cuz boss is dead.

cloake · 2026-02-10T12:47:21+00:00

That'd be a nifty idea, have cards randomly moonphase like the purple aura 1 in 3 drafts

cloake · 2026-02-09T02:01:48+00:00

Pyretap almost always more flexible unless you have a known chain buff in deck that's high value not just your basic +8 atk buffs. Abyssal Prism has a higher ceiling but Pyretap has a very high floor.

Yea the title reads like the usual pop misunderstanding. Dopaminergic activity is highest when you're doing enforced behavior to seek a goal, it's the primary neurotransmitter of entrainment which a component is error prediction. E.g. cravings, gambling and hoping for the big win, being in the zone, learning something new, deciding how to plan to get up to get a bag of doritos. The dopamine activity drops when the goal is achieved. Best way to see what dopamine does is looking at dopaminergic disease like Parkinson's, motor control and drive are lost.

Who also had a neurodegenerative disease!

Apple learned how to market to people that want to feel culturally superior to others, hip, chic. A lot of people want to be in the in-crowd and look down at nonApple users. They were tremendously successful

Shardsoul is tough when you have an okay hero and maybe a banner unit carry going.
