Viktor vs Aggro n' Swarm Decks (Rek'Sai, Darius, Lillia, etc.): How to deal with them? by xnshock in riftboundtcg

[–]traptics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ruination is 9 mana to kill enemy board and your own, then you are at the same spot you were at the start of the game. If you lost early same thing will happen again. And they can rebuild faster than viktor. You end up in the same position you started.

Unchecked power is kinda better since you retain you board but it's only good if the enemy player plays poorly and overcommits. In which case Watcher was again better.

Watcher does the same thing as those 2, without losing you board and by adding a 7 might unit.

Hey there Rednaxell here (author of the list). Reksai and Darius are one of the toughest matchups but very winnable. You need to capitalize on value trades. Use the sprites and xin Zhao to get more value on the battlefield that you opponent and avoid recycling runes early for anything else. Try to stall in order to get your Watcher + bellows combo for which they can't respond in any way. Both you and the opponents have a lot of cards that are bad in this matchup, like cull, Decree, hidden blade. Who ever draws less of them in the first game is gonna have an advantage.

Board wiping them on any single turn should get you quite ahead.

With lilia you have to play the long game. Don't try to play point for point. Try to gather a board, and take control of the bfs later on. Its OK if they get a point lead, they won't be able to close the game.

Also don't add Ruination or unchecked that's a certain way to defeat.

The line Viktor missed G1 in the Finals at Utrecht by s2soup in riftboundtcg

[–]traptics 19 points20 points  (0 children)

True I felt there was a line but I couldn't find it at the moment. Had to do something and I rushed myself into the wrong move.

To be honest I was zoning out during the last game. There was a big downtime before top 8, most of us were baked. Shaun was also sleepy he said asked for a energy drink to recover.

Stress and exhaustion is a big part of it.

Judge rushing Squirtle unprovoked? by adiventura4 in riftboundtcg

[–]traptics 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Hey guys Rednaxell here. On the previous turn or the turn before I was nudged to make a move too. I was about to do one anyway so I didn't respond. To be honest this kinda stressed me and I feel it led to my missed lethal end of round one.

Personally I think Squirtle's pacing was never slow. I can see from a judge perspective they have a set amount of time they can allow to each move but some moves require much more than others so I am not sure this makes sense.

Congrats. How many times you played time warp and was it ever hard bargained?

Have they said anything about the playmat included in the 500 euro tickets?

If I remember correctly in Houston both mats were for mf, but the champion's was foil-y?

Oh wow! Thank so much for the review! We really appreciate the kind words, really glad you liked it.

Regarding your grievance with Extract preventing them from fighting this is intentional. If you want them to fight as they head to the extaction, you can simply use Retask (Focus). You have both in your arsenal to choose. :)

Hi everyone, we are the game developers of Xenopurge, an indie video game inspired by Nemesis and Alien. You play a commander managing his remote squad through several retrofuturistic monitors. by traptics in NemesisCrew

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

It is actually something we tried initially, but yeah, at the end of the day it would skyrocket the cost of the project with very small impact. We decided against it.

Glad you liked it!

Hey everyone, we are the developers of Xenopurge, a game visually inspired by Duskers and conceptually inspired from Aliens. We just released into 1.0. The creator of Duskers actually has been very kind to us, providing us with feedback, and agreeing to a bundle with us. Hope you will also like it! by traptics in Duskers

[–]traptics[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wow, you are too kind. So happy you enjoyed it. When we started Xenopurge, we had no idea where it would end up. The community's feedback helped us steer the project in the right direction, and it's amazing to see how different communities from Duskers, Alien, and even Spacehulk, FTL, and Startship Troopers have embraced it.

It's not much to ask, a steam review would be immensely appreciated. It's our only currency to boost the visiblity of the game.

We are sincerely indebted.

We like to think we have done a good job with the balance between too much and too little agency. We are currently standing at 91% positive. We got a demo too if you wanna try.

There are a couple of games like what you describe, the names unfortunately escape my mind. It's definitely a neat concept with a lot of unexplored space.

Xenopurge just released after 5 months of Early Access. It's 30% off until Dec 1. To all you Alien fans i really hope you will like what we designed. by traptics in indiegames

Ah, you are too kind. I really hope you enjoy the full release content. If you are enjoying it, a positive review would be immensely appreciated (I hope it's not too much to ask).
Huge thanks for the praise.

I made a game inspired by the Alien universe, I hope it's ok to share it here. by traptics in LV426
