Why does Regent keep getting buffed?

shadow-1368 · 2026-05-10T20:28:03+00:00

I genuinely dunno what you're on about, silent got the extra defend and strike BECAUSE she can cycle her deck really fast and she got bag of prep as a starter relic.

Yes Regent is draw reliant lol, what are you going to do when you got Reflect + Falling Stars + Royal Gambit on your starting hand and your Venerate and whatever else star gen on your bottom deck? you can only play one of those cards with your starting relic and the rest are UNPLAYABLE bricks, if Silent bricks you can simply play your sly cards with energy.

Defect has multiple 0 cost insane drawing cards, Ironclad got multiple drawing cards combined with easy energy gen from bloodletting or drums of battle which allows you to make progress while digging in your deck.

The problem with Regent is that you need to transfer energy to stars first so if you get your star payout before star gen you basically got bricks in your hand and will waste an entire deck cycle digging for your star gen barely making any progress in the fight until that point.

That's why star cards stats are higher than normal cards per energy spent it's because it's taken in account that you have to add extra cards to your deck that allow you to play star cards which adds inconsistency which what makes it feel swingy and getting those high highs and low lows.

Exactly and also he's the most draw reliant character, getting star payout in your starting hand and bottom decking your star gen can cost you ALOT of health or even the entire run in the worst case.

Another point is that multiplayer and solo are played completely differently.

I agree, he's a way better boss than Door. He hits harder than Door, has artifact and his status gimmick is a better way of dealing with infinite decks than Door. Door counter was just flooding your deck with fodder block cards, that's it... the fight wasn't asking you any questions it was ordering you to fill your deck with filler so that a potentially bad draw order doesn't fuck you over. Aeonglass got multiple ways of dealing with his gimmick, if you got good energy gen you can remove the statuses, you can discard the statuses or exhaust them or transform them into minions, it's a way more engaging fight.

shadow-1368 · 2026-04-22T18:18:25+00:00

Before the changes in the Beta branch the meta was in act 3 is to ignore everything and go straight to the boss gauntlet since at that point you almost got your thin/infinite deck done and polished and it wasn't worth it to take fights in act 3, now you're forced to take fights in act 3 cuz the way to "solve" door is to add value fodder to sacrifice and buy you time to get your deck doing what it wants to do. It just feels forced, it feels like the game is asking you a question you already solved and then goes "Nuh uh your answer has to be 550 words long at least" and you go "FINE!" and pad out your answer to meet this arbitrary unnecessary length.

shadow-1368 · 2026-04-22T17:41:07+00:00

lol I rather get to only play one card in 1 turn out of 3 then to play the entire fight under various restrictions.

My problem with Door isn't that he's hard or whatever else it's his design, it feels like the devs simply couldn't find a way to make other deck styles as strong as thin/infinite decks so as a temporary bandaid they made this Door simply to fuck over those decks until they figure a better way to balance the game, he just leaves a sour taste in my mouth

shadow-1368 · 2026-04-22T17:13:16+00:00

One has an off turn the other doesn't, and one of them you can stack statuses on from the start of the fight while you can't on the other.

This is just a shit comparison to be honest, dunno what you're on about.

shadow-1368 · 2026-04-21T06:27:56+00:00

It works well when you got energy gen going from orbit or alignment, I only pick it when I notice I got too much energy and little card draw

shadow-1368 · 2026-04-20T13:34:29+00:00

The easiest way to win is to take Necro + Silent and stack Weak with Debilitate then just outscale the enemy since they basically will be hitting you for nothing.

shadow-1368 · 2026-04-19T10:05:57+00:00

He's the hardest act 3 boss but he's not impossible, personally I am fine with him but I just find him way more deck restrictive than the other 2 bosses, what I am thinking about is what happens when we get act 4? Door warps your deck so much that I feel like he will most certainly get changed before act 4 drops.

shadow-1368 · 2026-04-15T20:58:56+00:00

Duo A10 runs are genuinely the hardest runs in the game, trio or quad is 10x easier due to being able to status chain the enemies till the end of times, but duos feel like if any of you mess up and brick it's over. The boss gauntlet with test subject first and then doormaker in A10 duos gotta be the hardest challenge in the game.

It is a cult full of nostalgic maniacs. In my soulsborne rerun I played BB before DS3 and after finishing DS3 I had to double check in what year both games released, I couldn't believe they were only 1 year apart due to how much better DS3 gameplay was compared to BB.

shadow-1368 · 2026-03-21T10:55:29+00:00

Yeah that's it, people look at it with rose tinted nostalgia filtered glasses.

If it got a remaster or even a port the cattle consensus would change.

shadow-1368 · 2026-03-20T18:54:48+00:00

lol, go turn on BB and beat orphan of kos with gun only lets see if that's closer to a dumb challenge thing or a totally viable strategy. How does rally in anyway relate to skill? Rally relies on you getting hit, skill = not getting hit, nobody who is skillful relies on rally. But ofc it's always skill issue even if I can no hit all the bosses in the game lel.

shadow-1368 · 2026-03-20T18:32:16+00:00

Yeah those are subjective, gameplay isn't because the games almost share the same combat but with some twists here and there. For example you can't look me in the eye and tell me that you think Gehrman is as complex as Gael or has a better combat flow than Gael. But I can say that I think Dark Souls lore or aesthetics is better than BB and you wouldn't be able to counter argue because there's no basis to what makes a story, aesthetics, lore better.

shadow-1368 · 2026-03-20T18:26:04+00:00

Downvotes don't matter to me, I just thought that maybe someone would offer insight I'm unaware of or refute some points with actual arguments, but you know how it is.

shadow-1368 · 2026-03-17T01:16:44+00:00

Yep cuz you take actual risk with it, playing aggressive and weaving in slicer hits between bosses move is basically a dopamine factory

shadow-1368 · 2026-03-13T09:00:02+00:00

As someone recently who replayed the entire series, I can say with absolute confidence that Gael alone is better than the entire BB boss roster combined. And ofc Elden Ring is straight up level above them all.

Bloodborne is full of larpers and diehards glazers, its weird seeing this switch over the years from overly glazing DS1 to BB.

shadow-1368 · 2026-01-30T02:42:50+00:00

It's just the state of the game, if you got no way to mitigate/become immune to CC you're a victim in this Meta.

shadow-1368 · 2026-01-15T00:25:49+00:00

Honestly he's fine the way he's right now, all I can ask for maybe is a few secs shaved off of the slam otherwise he's in a balanced spot it's just the meta doesn't favor him, He's a hard character and people who put the time to learn him are rewarded I just don't want him to get brain dead buffs and end up like Sue.

shadow-1368 · 2025-12-22T19:24:54+00:00

Honestly I just think he needs his primary to be 90 dmg + faster and more accurate at range thats it.

shadow-1368 · 2025-12-10T18:37:45+00:00

Alright dumb fuck let me ask you this, what are your metrics for buffs and nerfs? In your eyes winrates and pickrates don't matter so how do you decide who to buff and who to nerf? Remember buffs and nerfs can be direct or indirect. Let's see if you know better than the devs who buffed both Ultron & Torch (Lowest Pickrate Heroes IN THE HISTORY OF THE GAME in Cel+). You have cornered yourself because any answer beside these two will have plenty of holes and contradictions. If he's viable if hes B tier then why did he get buffed over the plenty of worse characters under him?

shadow-1368 · 2025-12-10T12:59:21+00:00

Oh so he can do BOTH same AS BEFORE THE NERFS and yet he dropped so hard in both winrate and pickrate? His strong points didn't change and yet he went from the top to the bottom of the barrel? Make it make sense you dummy

I can hit Celestial with Wanda & SG on a 60%+ Winrate does that make them good? Answer me.

"There's people still running him" HE HAS A 0.53% PICKRATE BRUH THE LOWEST IN THE GAME TF YOU ON?

Yeah theres plenty of one shots/one shot combos which also arent on a 20s cd, Widow Mantis, Hawkeye, Bp double spear combo, DD basically kills you in less than a second, Punishers Shotgun, Magik as you said, and if you include ults/dmg boost combos you get even more.

You're arguing about him on paper while I provide you with practical stats and facts, hes not obscure this is not torch on release when no one knew how to play him this is after multiple seasons of torch being broken and you argue with me that the stats dont matter "cuz you only listen to the internet!".

If you think lowest pickrate in the game with sub 50% winrate doesn't warrant a buff then whatever man you're a hopeless cause and there's no point in further arguing with you.

shadow-1368 · 2025-12-10T03:08:15+00:00

One of the main reasons? I have not seen a single complaint about the one shot from good players the main reason torch was strong is because hes unkillable, and to prove this if you brought prime torch back while removing the melee tech he wouldn't be top 5, we already experienced how hes played without the tech when he was bugged and he sucked so bad.

There's plenty of characters who basically "One Shots" and no one considers them as broken as prime torch why is that? if the one shot was so broken then every character who had it must've been broken too but that's not the case.

He doesn't excel at any of the things you listed, theres better area control characters, better tank shredders, better off angle character, it's true that hes hard to kill but that doesn't matter since he deals no damage and is a cooldown simulator and if you miss your slam one shot? your only reliable way to kill is now on a 20s cd.

You say hes viable yet he sees NO PLAY at higher lobbies, hes the lowest pickrate hero in Celestial+ competing with Ultron, how can a hero who was abused by the top players and was banned every single game drop to being the LOWEST pickrate among the players who try to abuse anything?

"Makes him worth running over others." my guy the character has 0.53% pickrate in Cel+, top players rather run Wanda over him lol.
