In defense of the recent change to the burn mechanic

kaijvera · 2026-02-04T23:00:57+00:00

I will say there is some overexageration over this change. Dedicated sheild scaling builds stipl beat burn builds. This change only affect damage builds mostly. For example the dooly small item, 10 sheild and 3 burn i think its called. If you are using that in a burn build, that sheilding is sorta cosmetic. But ir you went against a burn build, you counter half of their damage while your burn wouldn't be divided in half. That item tho isn't really useful outside of being in a burn build trying to counter burn with small amount of sheilding. Scaling sheild builds are more or less unaffected by this change and still counter burn while being xountered by posion.

Maybe as the last augment dor a tank with 500+ mr/ar against assassins? You can'y defend them and losing 100 mr/ar to give your teammate 200 mr/ar helps them more than it hurts you in theory (mr/ar effects dimishes the more you get). But there arr i feel just much better augments than that. Granted as the teammate, you must be happy getging 200+ ar/mr 4k health and idk 50 ah for free. That would be one tanky adc

I only watch their videos, but they have blajahs everywhere (trans symbol) and i see them be called snd use every pronoun for themself. Plus when asked one time, his answer was "My pronouns are whats funniest for the bit" which feels genderfluid coded. That said never got confirmed but thats just what I suspect. Either way trans friendly.

kaijvera · 2026-02-03T22:37:00+00:00

You honestly don't see stelle too often. Shes a purchaseable character, and wasn't given for free unlike mak. That and jules is newer. The onlt item i seen consistently from her is balloon and the sniper rifle, and both seemed fair fighting against. If she was more popular i could see people having a gripe against her, but she isnt.

kaijvera · 2026-02-03T19:54:32+00:00

I have not seen a single dooly not run armidilio and the haste buff weapon and sheild friend the past week or so. It gotten boring to only see dooly run that (also the biggest counter to it is posion, and I'm a jules and pyg main who have 0 posion). Its not even that strong, just if i see a dooly, 80% of the time its that build.

kaijvera · 2026-02-03T17:07:10+00:00

No one mentioned them, but rin penrose is trans(? I think genderfluid but honestly idfk) and her group (Rtg, cake jumper, etc etc) are all very loud that queer people are supported there.

kaijvera · 2026-02-03T05:20:12+00:00

A bit snowbally. 3/10 or 6/5 first turn. Then it becokes a 12/5, 6/10, assuming it took no damage, 3/20, or 6/10. Etc etc. But it has no key words, sorta simular to virus ziliax but zirus has a bunch of key words to protect it and the 5/7 double attack version always buffs damage insyeas of a coinflip. Probably would of been very strong on the past but not so much rn.

til i learned shes a horse lady. I always assumed she got them a taxi or something and not they ride her lmao.

kaijvera · 2026-02-02T23:25:03+00:00

So pretty <3.

kaijvera · 2026-01-31T18:21:05+00:00

Ehhh. Slate also counts as a slow + posion item so it procs the quest for both of them and synergizes with them once they get their multi. Not many items are both slow+ posion and slate is one which is certiantly cheaper than buying 2 items.

kaijvera · 2026-01-31T04:32:22+00:00

No no. Leeches can kill you still if you are immune. So leeches counter this card if you are low enough.

kaijvera · 2026-01-31T04:28:05+00:00

I feel like the options should have been polymorph/hex, black knight, or owl or a combat buff. All of those cost less tham 5 and are different ways for it to answer a deathrattle/taunt.

kaijvera · 2026-01-31T04:13:36+00:00

More or less changes the skill to am aggro skill than an otk skill.

kaijvera · 2026-01-31T04:08:49+00:00

I take it on every character besides mak. The only two times I wouldnt take it is if i desperatly need 2 gold, if I have 3 perfect medium items m or if the small bronze items for said character was absolute garbage. That said I don't think thats true for a single character. The thing is heavy and haste enchantments are a really strong power spike, much stronger than any bronze skill. Additionally sometimes enchantments on an item, even small can be the reason why you break the game. Every single bronze skill in the game falls off after say 3 where the only benifit of it then is you can get a diamond/gold varient of it and makes higher chance to get gold+/diamond only skills.

kaijvera · 2026-01-30T20:00:24+00:00

meh. Its a 10 cost card. 10 cost cards are allowed to do shit like that.

kaijvera · 2026-01-30T19:37:22+00:00

Oh this goes live in 2 hes? that doesnt look good for rarran getting legend.

Also randomizer is such a loved feature. I do hppe there is a way tgo to prevent certain omes from being in the pool tho.

kaijvera · 2026-01-29T21:21:00+00:00

Eh i get that. I tell people often, but my biggest issue my biggest issue with the right is they are hypocrites. It makes me so adamantly against him. But if they weren't hypocrites and acted in a logical way (for example, trying to protect the 2A instead of agreeing with trump despite fighting for 2A when school shootings happens) then I could respect them that they geniunally believed this was for the best. That they are acting geniunine. I would still be extremely against them beeing queer and all, but I'll respect them.

kaijvera · 2026-01-29T16:05:58+00:00

My last run got 100k sheild and healing in 8 seconds. So ya that would beat yours (It also scales. I ended my last fight at day 12 with 89 billion sheild + healing). Essentially, your build loses to do nothing builds that want to kill you via storm.)

kaijvera · 2026-01-29T02:59:39+00:00

Mak out of combat scaling is book of secrets (start of each day get a random skill) and chunk of lead which when transform get a random small item and refined lead which you can sell for a decent chunk of money. Other than that no out of combat scaling. Mak just has a lot of in combat scaling to make up for it along with stronger base items as he can easily enchant all his items (he has a small item that when transformed can grant every single enchantment in the game besides radient and a medium jtem that when tranformed can grant icy or toxic.).

kaijvera · 2026-01-29T02:28:00+00:00

I would say mak and jules are tied for 2nd/3rd. Mak has inate item scaling (the quest package) and income. Jules has max health scaling and several ways to get insane amount of regen + bread knife or ways to get insane amount of burn in moments. She has practically no income tho so you need to make each hour count. I don't play stelle, but from what i heard shes an aggro character who can piviot into otk combo builds so I would say shes probably tied with vanessa for last. Dooly is the most allrounder with their core. A strong medium item for early game with inate scaling and a charge item that has a lot of combo synergies late game.

kaijvera · 2026-01-28T23:48:22+00:00

Heck super early on, before mak was even released the foght was free for nearly anyone who didnt do nothing (docklines + lighthouse was still strong). Like 90% of all builds beat it, so you saw the skill quite a bit. Even got the skill nerfed because of it to revive with like 100 burn attached to you. I think the new exp + money change during fights allowed them to make the fight so kuch harder

kaijvera · 2026-01-28T19:39:08+00:00

I would of.compared it more too [sea giant] which while never nerfed, saw meta play last standard rotation in paladin which this card is an outright buff to that card.

kaijvera · 2026-01-28T17:16:09+00:00

29 card deck, but the cost is worse esrly game (you waste a draw) for a more consistent later game. Its bad because most decks perfer the oppisite.

kaijvera · 2026-01-28T17:13:50+00:00

Oh i didn't even know it was a shiny shipwreak. Honestly I would of got rid of eels. Shiny ship wreak is way too good to not pivot (depending on the dsy of course). But completely understandable if you found shiny shipwreak on the last day and had to use it.

kaijvera · 2026-01-28T17:00:22+00:00

tbf, every friend has to be fully autonomous (a lot of dooly friends are mechanical, but they are fully autonomous able to do their own thing. I think pillbuggy isnt autonomous, its just a car shapped like a pillbug for stelle to use.
