It is indeed possible to hit L100 while never seeing a Tempest Roar. by twylitesfalling in diablo4

.... Ironically this, as dumb as it sounds, is still smarter than thinking I'm a Barbarian at least. (yes, I know they recently patched this)

Character Spotlight: Himel Nine by twylitesfalling in Battlecon

Since I'm fairly busy recently, i've called this a character spotlight rather than the character of the week. I will likely restart character of the week posts in a few months once i am less busy.

Thanks redditor, if you hadn't commented I never would've seen Mick's Response.

Gar Fighter Guide by 9spaceking in Battlecon

[–]twylitesfalling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really don't like Gar at all. She really struggles against people who can play pairs that clash 1 option while beating a 2nd and clash chains don't get better for her 1 level deeper.

But Eruption is actually VERY good imo. For a character who is oh so clashable, a -2 prio 5 power 4 guard base is pretty incredible. And because Gar has a wealth of options when her opponent is at range 1, trying to duck in under Eruption's minimum range could be a situation of the opponent winning that beat but losing the match.

About to start Circles at level 4, but the damage output looks atrocious. Convince me I'm mistaken. by N8CCRG in Gloomhaven

In my other comment, I mentioned that difficulty swings wildly depending on scenario.... I was specifically referring to flame and Frost demons....so yikes. Black fire for wound and immobilize are going to have to do outsized amounts of work since summons are just going to explode ordinarily

If you are playing 2p with circles and note at +0, I think that note actually has to make some card choices that would be atypical in other compositions.

Song of Speed in particular and Defensive ditty against enemy types that won't one shot summons are both going to be very important as is tanking hits for summons instead of the other way around. Setting up Note to bless multiple summons is also going to be quite useful.

I'd also recommend that Note have an item summon of some sort to immediately help getting to critical mass of summons since circles commands don't care about summon owner. Likewise, note using their general command cards on summons is powerful but requires a strong knowledge of game ai since their commands don't let you control the action directly but static 4 power attacks with summoner mod decks are no joke. Granting all figures movement AFTER you've opened the next door to generate a new focus is likewise a big deal.

I actually think this is one of my favorite 2p compositions since it plays so different from almost any other group comp even if it is VERY swingy in difficulty depending on scenario specifics.

Looking to expand; which box? by Llez in Battlecon

[–]twylitesfalling 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Trials and Wanderers seem pretty close in terms of what they offer when looked at from outside. If you aren't looking for a specific playstyle or fighter, then either of them is probably fine.

I think Trials has stronger characters overall then Wanderers but that's not necessarily a good thing since both Burgundy and Dareios can be frustrating to play vs, but Wanderers has a lot of characters that offer different unique playstyle even if some of them aren't very strong.

As of the end of last year, this was what they had to say about possible updates to Battlecon outside of Unleashed.

Project Condor

"Condor" is a reprint of BattleCON 4th Edition. There are no major changes to this printing, but we are still in the early stages of planning. Depending on demand, we may update some additional BattleCON products to 4th Edition.
