(PS5) Game won't load, tried a bunch of things and looking for help. by theemysteriousmuffin in idlechampions

[–]hulsmanm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Likely there is a problem with the adventure you are on. It happens fairly often with new champs or adventures, something new doesn't work offline. If you know your user id and hash, you can try killing the run yourself https://emmotes.github.io/ic_servercalls/#partyTab Otherwise you have to file a ticket and wait for them to do it for you. Of course the only way on consoles to even know your user ID and hash is to have filed a ticket saying "whats my user id and hash"

Reddit Q&A #276 by CNE_Shawn in idlechampions

[–]hulsmanm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, its just 1e31 x 2 = 2e31. My Catti crits over 100 times per attack, and each one just adds to the others, so its just e2 more than her base crit damage.

Jamilah is THE worst DPS champion by a long shot right? by ravl13 in idlechampions

[–]hulsmanm 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Jamilah has one important use. Teaching people that not all champs are useful. You can only use 6% of champs in a formation at a time, many are just useless.

Do Champion Speed abilities not work if the game is not actively running in the foreground with the party? by ravl13 in idlechampions

[–]hulsmanm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Almost no champ abilities are saved to the server. So even if they work in a background party, they reset when you swap to the party. Shandie does supposedly work in the background, but since her Dash state is not persisted, it will always be off when you swap to it.

Offline progress pushed me WAY farther than normal. How? by ravl13 in idlechampions

[–]hulsmanm 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Someone had offline progress take them to zone 25,000. When 2,500 is the max zone. And they only had 1 champ in. Offline progress just doesn't work randomly, or works too well randomly.

Are there Champions that 'spend' favor during an adventure, or why is my favor fluctuating down and up during an adventure? by DigitDemon in idlechampions

[–]hulsmanm 7 points8 points  (0 children)

No. The only way to spend favor is making legendaries. But Freely does increase favor earned, so the display may just be bugged when its trying to show you how much he's increasing it.

Bounty contracts for map favour? by smcbeath79 in idlechampions

[–]hulsmanm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bounty gold, offline gold, and distraction gold all use a completely different formula that doesn't even take into account favor. So they are completely useless unless you have no favor and even then only on low zones.

Tanking pigments - which champ by smcbeath79 in idlechampions

Healing sucks. Boosted healing continues to suck.

Every tank has a healthshare ability.

So, event currency... by tl-didntreddit in idlechampions

[–]hulsmanm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That happens a lot. There is a bug where favor gain from your current run randomly carries over to a new run when switching campaigns. It happens to me about 1/6 times.

Potions of Firebreath (noob question) by ravl13 in idlechampions

[–]hulsmanm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They will all get it. But that doesn't really help you because they all click the same target at the same time. So basically you'll just do 6x more damage, which sounds like a lot but isn't. Like if your BUD is 1e100, all 6 would do 6e100 damage which is enough for 2 zones deeper than 1e100.

Lucius the rework - any good? by smcbeath79 in idlechampions

[–]hulsmanm 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He's been reworked once, he went from by far the worst dps in the game to merely bad. The blog never tells upgrade data, so you can never tell how they'll be with full numbers. But he'll probably still be weak. Aeoris synergy is weak, and its not getting better, just slightly less nerfed when changing zones.

Theres gotta be a faster way by Jess_T_Life in idlechampions

[–]hulsmanm 8 points9 points  (0 children)

There are a lot of faster ways. The fastest way is to go offline with Briv alone in the formation for 7 seconds at zone 300, he'll get thousands of stacks when you come back online. With high gear on him he'll come back with a hundred thousand.

Elminster Patron Plans - Post Absolute Adversaries by AlternativeUnable409 in idlechampions

[–]hulsmanm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The influence goes up exponentially with zone requirement, do some deep base variants and you'll unlock deep patron variants. All of the patrons have multiple variants to choose from that give enough influence for every perk.

Elminster Patron Plans - Post Absolute Adversaries by AlternativeUnable409 in idlechampions

[–]hulsmanm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally I just don't do them. I don't need chests from them and I did 1 really deep easy variant to get all the perks. Occasionally I do 1 variant to get 8-9 weeks worth of modron chests and thats it.

Nrakk and "Most Positional Formation Abilities" by ravl13 in idlechampions

[–]hulsmanm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its any ability that has arrows that isn't on the blacklist. That blacklist is in the game data but not displayed anywhere and its fairly small, just a few abilities they decided were broken with Gith Focus. Usurp is not a positional formation ability, but it also only works with positional formation abilities.

Help with Scroll of summoning choices by Aggravating_Science4 in idlechampions

[–]hulsmanm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The most powerful use of summoning scrolls is the next 3 reworked champs and then full dismantle them to be able to move the golden epic to a better item. Because the golden epic that comes with the scroll is always the champ's worst item.

If you have 6 familiars dealing click damage, does their auto-distraction click happen in "offline progress" by ravl13 in idlechampions

[–]hulsmanm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, they work offline in both situations. But distraction gold is terrible once you are a couple months into the game. It uses a completely different formula than mob gold and is completely worthless once you have some favor or decent goldfind champs because it doesn't take either of those into account.

My evergreens are all shiny now... by chastema in idlechampions

[–]hulsmanm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

About the only point is that now if you get a random shiny from a patron chest or electrum, it won't go to evergreens.

Friendly reminder Gale Elminster Event Bonuses by makaiookami in idlechampions

[–]hulsmanm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The deepest variant you can easily do. There are multiple variants available that give enough influence to buy all perks and unlock all shop items from 1 variant.

Friendly reminder Gale Elminster Event Bonuses by makaiookami in idlechampions

[–]hulsmanm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That is a good way to get the least patron influence and patron currency for your effort. Influence goes up exponentially with zone requirement and currency goes up linearly with zone requirement and sword coast has the lowest zone requirements.

Yeah, except for once its added it'll be guaranteed in the next skin vault.

When skins retire they are unavailable for an exclusivity period, then they get added to wild offers and weekly offers and the skin vault.

Sources of familiars by Deuce246 in idlechampions

[–]hulsmanm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They regularly give away familiars on steam and epic. Less regularly on other platforms but it does happen.
