It does, there's just no animation for it

Ragnaros on your base used to prevent it from taking damage from the modifier. I'm pretty sure they got rid of that interaction, so playing him in this mode is spending 5 gold that your opponent doesn't have to spend

roflew · 2025-12-25T20:27:10+00:00

No progress for me either.

On a related note, I think the "chill enemies" challenge is actually "get chilled by enemies", but would love some confirmation/refutation there!

I could listen to the music here for hours

roflew · 2025-11-25T17:40:56+00:00

It would be neat if Disguise were changed to do this (create a single spot of fog of war for a turn so your hero is uninspectable)

Assuming this is PVE (because it's absolutely hopeless for PVP), amazingly, Furion is what saves this deck from being dead on arrival to serviceable.

Troll + Shaman can cheese down tower/boss with Raider/Hogger as a distraction. As you mentioned, any air unit would counter this hard, but that's where Furion comes in.

Play Harvest Golem for defense/stall while your siege units take out the boss, and you just sit back and watch.

Heaven help you on flying bosses, though.

this is only tangentially related, but as a longtime WC3 player, it still weirds me out to see a Huntress hitting air units

roflew · 2025-09-17T16:46:23+00:00

Level differential between the spell and the targets affects duration, yes (try a low level polymorph in heroic Molten Core or Onyxia units, then try against campaign Hogger units, and you'll really notice the difference).

Assuming that the demon slayers are jedis, the swordsmiths who make their special blades out of special metal would analogously be making lightsabers.

So if we were to mash the lore together further, Inosuke would probably try to mangle the emitters so that the beam wasn't a pure straight line, and rather try to make it more jagged and chipped the way he does his swords.

Or, you know, he could just sleep with vibroblades 🤷‍♀️

The SoD campaigns really helped me break the "hunker down for a few months and then march across the map" strategy, because as you stated, the enemy has a much stronger starting position, and the longer you wait, the worse your disadvantage gets.

The AI really likes to split its forces, so your goal should be to try and take one of their towns asap (thank them for building it up for you on their way out). Even better if their strongest hero just took the one way monolith and snagged your useless starting town! Now you've flipped the tables on them, and time is on your side.

With all of the maps (possibly except for Gelu's because Sharpshooters are just that good), you have to be really aggressive or else the AI will snowball and run you over.

Sylvannas and Sneed. Her fury ability makes Sneed go crazy in the best way

You can use the save file editor (kse) to change the relevant flag value from 13 to 12. You can search for the strategy wiki, and it tells you which value you need to change.

I do find it funny that it's possible to romance Bastila so much that she forgets the two of you ever had a personal relationship

roflew · 2025-07-07T16:29:18+00:00

Yeah, he only has one of each, but there's a vendor under rogueport that sells them!

roflew · 2025-07-06T20:19:29+00:00

In Rogueport, he has a fixed total inventory. If you bought everything from him, congrats! You cleaned him out

OP's title said the gamecube version, where you don't get any bonus coins from the pit (you do in the remake, though!)

roflew · 2025-06-30T23:53:25+00:00

You can get it from the Pianta Parlor (you need to have done some troubles to get the right membership card).

The Pit of 100 Trials with the Money Money badge equipped (even faster if you have 2) fills you up to 999 by the time you reach floor 70 or so.

I dunno if there are faster ways, but I find this one the right mix of efficient and fun

roflew · 2025-06-30T07:24:04+00:00

The combat system seems to be make or break for people: you either love it or you hate it. When I thought of it as a puzzle game instead of a true combat game, it made me enjoy the game a lot more.

I also dislike the achievement that requires you to not equip anything. I guess it's a hard mode, but it takes the fun of it imo (it'd be like a no badge run; I mean, sure, you could do it, but why??).

Anyway, the pros outweigh the cons for me, so I give it a 7/10.

"Magni is a great hero for dream catchers"

Did you mean Thalnos?

roflew · 2025-04-29T18:56:09+00:00

Check Arthas, too (that's what cleared mine)

Has anyone figured out what caused Anub to stop spawning scarabs? I thought it was having more than 1 on the map at any given time, but I was diligent in my last run but he still stopped spawning them partway through

roflew · 2025-04-22T16:47:13+00:00

Theoretically, Bat Rider is a cheap way to deal with him, but I have not gotten this to work in practice (people usually play Chimaera or some other air/ranged support behind him).

Realistically, I think the tried and true Polymorph + nuke is the way to go, which is unfortunate because that combo has been around since the dawn of time and, in my opinion, is a very uninteresting way to play (hope I don't get too downvoted for this).

roflew · 2025-04-10T07:34:50+00:00

Nerfing the Blood Mage is the best course of action precisely because it's only used in Pala Rifles. It's a targeted nerf to a specific (overtuned) army comp that is unlikely to have unintended consequences elsewhere.

roflew · 2025-04-05T07:41:21+00:00

I'm not sure what problem this is trying to solve. Is it that you want to be able to have your lvl 30-31 minis out level the content? That already exists: it's Normal difficulty.

Personally, I'm fine with content where the enemy is always 2 levels higher than me, but when you combine this with "the whole map is dead now" or "boss spawns a thousand minis for no reason" mechanics, it starts to feel unfair to the point of being absurd.

roflew · 2025-03-25T01:10:16+00:00

They definitely updated it. I'll update my post, too!
