I had my champion get stuck (didn’t move or attack) the other day. That sucked!

I wouldn’t even call them jokes. Jokes are supposed to be funny.

Topic: Tyrant / What If Armor Blocked Strike?

They just better not make a Protect All commander, as that would be like Draco on steroids.

Topic: GemCraft Labyrinth / D10 Non-Premium

Definitely can’t pull off that Pylon trick, I’m having a hard enough time as it is.

EDIT: I beat it under normal settings. I simply surrounded the crafting pylon with cyan gems. Started out with 2 towers on either side with g3 gems, then a third in the middle. Then I added two more towers to each side of the middle one, and then amplifiers beside those. And obviously I upgraded and created new higher-grade gems along the way.

Topic: GemCraft Labyrinth / D10 Non-Premium

So I’ve unlocked my first pylon, but not sure what my strategy should be. How should pylons be approached? Charge them up as quickly as possible? Rack up kills/mana elsewhere before activating?

I’m Level 24 and usually put most of my points in Focus (not sure if that’s good or not).

Thanks

Unless I forget to switch decks, I don’t usually use my II deck for arena, I use my Xeno one. So I’m mostly asking for faction/exp/gold farming missions.

this is what i was meaning, for missions, if u play vs a xeno mission and u play II, enemy plays tremor wyrm, no way to kill him and in 4 turns he kills everything

Ah, gotcha. Thank you, I’ll be on the lookout for that.

Oh, but do continue, please.

i dunno, it looks to me like the op was actually being serious. i think he should go to this thread to learn why he should start pretending to having simply been sarcastic.

http://www.kongregate.com/forums/65-tyrant/topics/171141-my-latest-facepalm

the op should learn the significance of realism vs. game balance if he actually still thinks regen is broken.

I fail to see what realism vs. game balance has to do with the argument. Many people have complained that regen is OP (as I said before, I’m not of that stance), and one way to fix that is to stop allowing regeneration to activate when the unit itself isn’t active.

Ive found eva+10II = best against 90. Unless hatchet is dropped first, its a 100% win rate for me (been doing it for the last week) not to mension 90 gives the best energy to gold reward.

I heard 89 was better to farm because it had a higher win rate than 90, hmmm.

In any case, I’m back farming 28 for faction now, where I’m using my Xeno deck on auto.

Once I get 10k gold, I’ll buy Eva and try 90.

Topic: Tyrant / Irradiated Infantry decks

Cool, thank you :)

(and yes, I grinded the rep already, so all I have to do is get 10k gold)

My main deck is Xeno, but obviously I have an II deck for farming (who doesn’t?)

My question is whether Eva (Heal Imp 2) is really better than Freddie (Heal All Imp 1)?

I’ve been using Freddie + II (usually 8 + 2 Airstrikes) and it has been working well (currently farming 89).

Is Eva really worth 10k gold? Is it better to heal your starting unit(s) for 2 rather than doing a slightly better job of protecting against Strike Alls via the Heal All of Freddie?

Eva helps II survive the Strike and Enfeeble combo by healing the first II fully, and once you buy Eva, you should get the Honored Achievement which will give you all your money back

Ah, thank you, I didn’t realize that about the achievement! I eventually want to collect as many cards as I can, but I thought spending 10k on one card right now would be a bit of a waste, but if I’m going to get back gold anyway, I guess it’s a no-brainer.

Then I guess I can use Eva and see how she does compared to Freddie and make up my own mind.

Thanks to both you guys :)

Topic: Tyrant / Regeneration is BROKEN

@Muurahaiskarhu & Kholai, I fully understand how skills work and what are considered activation skills and not (I’m not a new player). What I’m saying is that Regeneration is not classified as it should be and is thus the reason there have been threads about its OPness (not that I particularly agree with that stance). And yes, Payback is the same thing, but I didn’t mention it mainly because I don’t see anyone using Payback strategically like they do Regen.

However, Regen is an ability and should not trigger – and yes, same goes for Payback and Evade (though the latter could be questionable, as I could see the argument that it’s an attribute rather than an ability).

if you step back and take a look at what regen has in common with what you find acceptable, armor/flying/counter, then you’d realize they are the difference between offensive and defensive abilities.

Case closed

p.s.
regen isn’t all that great anyways

Case isn’t closed, thank you. Heal is a defensive ability, yet that doesn’t work when a card isn’t active (nor should it), so your argument is invalid.

Topic: Tyrant / Regeneration is BROKEN

Sorry if this has been mentioned before, but I haven’t seen it.

Regeneration is occurring even when a unit isn’t active (still on cooldown). A unit shouldn’t be able to regen if it hasn’t become activated yet.

Maybe “fixing” this will stop people from thinking regen is so OP right now.

Topic: Tyrant / Best Use for War Bonds

Draco was in the elite shop yesterday. I still don’t use him over Vyander though for my main deck (xeno).

Topic: Tyrant / Mission 84

I take two airstrikes rather than an EMP with my II deck because I often found that I’d have enough II out to take care of numbers, it was the high-HP guys I had to worry about, especially the flying ones. This has worked fairly well for me from 84 through 90. I do not have Eva, so I used Thadius for most of them, though have switched to Freddie recently.

Topic: Tyrant / Are 2HP units worthless?

Originally posted by timtimhase:

the main problem about 2 hp units is emp. the best example is probabbly obsidian. it would be a great card if strike just wasn’t that overpowered. Everything in the game has two counters: fly > anti air, strike. counter > Leech, strike. Armor > pierce , strike. Strike > evade, payback. etc. but strike is a counter to almost everything. Hydra, Obsidian and some other cards could be much more useful if strike would be nerfed just a bit. But i have suggested this already and got no real feedback on it.

What about strike do you feel is overpowered? I don’t feel strike in and of itself is OP. High-HP units can survive. Evade gives 50% chance of negating. Strike All 2 is definitely powerful, but aside from EMP, all SA2 units are 4CD (as far as I know).

I didn’t create this thread to whine about strike, I was simply curious about what people felt about 2HP and less units, as I’ve noticed that I don’t use them in my main deck (Xeno), nor specialized decks. After all, it’s one of the main reasons people use Irradiated Infantry decks – they can survive strike decks, while dishing out 3 dmg (with poison).

Topic: Tyrant / Draws, not Defeats

Have you never played any dice-based war games, like Risk? Tie always goes to the defender.

Topic: Tyrant / strike

I think an element of randomness is needed in CCGs, so I vote no.

Topic: Tyrant / Are 2HP units worthless?

A simple question, really. With the fear of your opponent employing an EMP, has that effectively removed 2HP (and 1HP) units from the game?

Even an Armored Flying 2HP unit can’t escape from an EMP and evade is not reliable.

Thoughts?

Topic: Tyrant / How has blight changed your play has antistrike revolution failed?

Mortar Bunker has made a great addition to my Xeno deck. No complaints there.

Topic: Tyrant / **** mission 83

83 is easy. 84 is the hard one.
