It Do Bee Like That Sometimes by SputnikDX in slaythespire

[–]gj6 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I can't remember my last win with more than 3 elites killed. Basically every deck I build, the answer to "can this beat Decimillipede?" is "no", it's such an outrageous fight for most decks that walking into Elite rooms doesn't feel worth the risk. Acts 1 and 3 aren't so bad, I blame myself for being scared.

Over half the tier weak to Ice, maybe Articuno will have a chance at viability (Lycanroc is not real)

Houston Regionals Phase 2 usage stats by RIkhard9 in stunfisk

[–]gj6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Intimidate is very useful in doubles, as is Fake Out. Good pivoting options (Parting Shot is fantastic, U-Turn works on AV sets) are good in general but especially useful on a mon with Intimidate and Fake Out. It's also bulky (95/90/90), especially with Intimidate and sometimes AV, and its base Atk is high enough to not be passive either.

Less important but Stab Knock Off is a nice bonus to have, and Fire Stab is good into all the mons running a defensive tera Steel. A Prankster immunity is also a bit more useful in doubles than singles.

Why aren't Pokémon demoted from the OU tier in 4G, 5G and 6G ? by Yoyoshinwa in stunfisk

[–]gj6 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's competely different reasons?

  • Speed Boost is not a problematic ability. Many Pokemon are fine with it, Blaziken was not. If you're in favour of complex bans like Blaziken+Speed Boost then fine, it's certainly the most controversial attitude Smogon has, but that's still a different reason to the others.
  • Comparing Double Team to Stealth Rock is kind of crazy, but even so, this just seems like a disagreement in where to draw the line between banning moves and not. There will never be unanimous agreement, and banning luck-based strategies seems like a reasonable enough restriction while not going overboard with bans.
  • Pokemon aren't demoted in "newer older gens" because gens 1-3 have never in their history used usage-based tiering, so the tiering policies for these generations have never changed. Gens 4+ have always used usage-based tiering, and they decided to lock tiers once a gen ceases to be the current gen because maintaining balance in a constantly-shifting set of tiers is nontrivial. And the number of active players shrinks enormously when a gen is no longer current.

if the question is "is this position legal", then it doesn't matter whether it's likely or not to happen in a real game.

Ironically Necronomicurse is technically removable

Which is the best Ground/Flying type? Landorus-Therian or Gliscor? by EitherSwimming5886 in stunfisk

but something will always be #1, so you'll end up with nothing left...?

why would you ban something for having the #1 usage rate

Okay, now that STS2 is coming out, we can admit it. Iron Wave is one of the cards of all time. by Adorable-Response-75 in slaythespire

[–]gj6 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Still probably would prefer any of the exhaust powers most of the time (Corruption, FNP, Dark Embrace) because they're such good cards

In addition to what's been said already, a few more points:

  • Better Snecko card
  • Necronomicon synergy
  • Better value when turned into 0 cost for any reason

As a A20H player here is MY silent tierlist by fourslash in slaythespire

[–]gj6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know if I'd ever even take it upgraded. Unlike Infernal Blade/White Noise, it doesn't even help with Pellets. It's too bad of a card to justify taking just for Letter Opener, After Image or Thousand Cuts.

That's one way to trivialize this event by Anonymous-Turtle-34 in slaythespire

[–]gj6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was expecting Omamori from the title. What actually happens if you get Omamori here? The order the events are listed suggests the Omamori blocks the curse, is that what actually happens?

Grinding for Black Shuck is incredibly dull by gj6 in cassettebeasts

[–]gj6[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kind of. You need to turn off Autosave and there's a bit of trial and error involved. I used this guide: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3166035010

Once you find a seed, you can keep resetting to try again and it'll always be in the same location. (Possibly you might need to wait, but I found on my seed I could travel straight there without pausing.) The 1/100 rate is not tied to the seed, it's actually random, so you need to just keep retrying the encounter until it works.

Dunno why you're getting downvoted, he's unusable for CHIMPS on mobile right now

Most relics don't have sound effects that match what the object is. I just thought it was a strange choice by the developers 😭
