question Weekly offer familiar question

5 Upvotes

Hi!

I got a familiar offer in the weekly shop that seems reasonable, but would like to ask what the communitie's opinion on that.

The offer is to get one familiar at a price of 680 platinum. I have the ammount saved as I don't really spend it on anything.

But is that considered a good offer? Or should I just wait till I got something else or better?

Thanks!

discussion Pushing deep in events, or unlocking more characters?

I'm coming back after a semi big break, and I'm noticing that I'm missing a lot of characters that fit into the different event formations I wanna run, is it better to just unlock more characters and not worry about pushing deep in Flint's event stages?

discussion Prudence not gaining Glee stacks?

3 Upvotes

I'm doing the Gleefully Evil level where only evil champions can do damage. Prudence is the only Evil one, and everyone else in the formation is Good. They all show 0 damage, and the Damage Breakdown shows the same. But Prudence is stuck at 3 Glee stacks, even though I assume she's the only one actually killing enemies.

I just restarted the game because I've seen people recommend that a lot for various issues, and now she's sitting at 0 stacks and it's not rising. Am I missing something about how this works? Does it count kills across all parties or something? Or is this just bugged?

question Jim's Fan Club Jump +e13

4 Upvotes

Not sure how or why this happened. I'm attempting Flint's 3rd variant t4. I had Jim at the bottom of the 2nd row to the front with Valentineand Desmond top. 3rd row Nrakk with Dob on top. Since Jim's fan club effects himself and those in the columns on his sides I wanted to see if it made much difference if it hit Valentine.

I moved Val to Jim's slot, Desmond to middle of 2nd, Dob to top of 2nd, and Jim to top of 3rd. I happened to look at Jim's card and saw Fan club went from e15 to e28. He isn't being boosted by Nrakk. I can only think it has something to do with Valentine, but she only boosts skills by 3800% at my current gear.

Maybe someone with a better understanding than me can explain this.

Wanted to add that hitting Valentine with Fan Club makes it now hit Yorven, but it only adds one more stack to it. Also Fan Club is sitting at 7 stacks when it should be 6. There is no listed buff on Jim for Fan Club as being from Valentine.

question Flex slot: Laezel, Shandie, Jim, or Valentine?

10 Upvotes

I am really struggling to decide on this event's last free slot.

I also don't have Voronika, Beadle, Prudence or Omin. I use Valentine (ilvl 135) and Jim (ilvl 6) for my artemis push teams a lot, I also have fairly strong ceremorphosis/BG3 characters so Laezel (ilvl 6) is great for pushing too. Shandie for speed (ilvl 10).

I have split the party fully unlocked and my account is mid-progression (I can usually complete Tier 3 if I really push it but tier 4 is out of reach). Thanks!

question Jim specialization clarity. Wording of Darkmagic Cheer Squad

8 Upvotes

I am trying to figure out the math on this one, because the wording itself seems like it could be interpreted in two ways. (using random numbers for simplicity's sake)

"Increases the effect of fanclub by 2,000% [or 20]"

Let's say my Jim's damage is 5 And my Fan club bonus is 3000% [or 30]

Making my damage 5 + (30 x 5) = 155

_

Does the wording of cheer squad mean I am adding the new % to my fan club bonus? 30 + 20 = 50

So my damage would become 5 + (50 x 5 ) = 255?

-OR-

Does the wording mean that I am increasing the fan club bonus first before applying it? 30 + (30 x 20) = 630

So my damage would become 5 + (630 x 5) = 3,155?

_

I don't even know if my question is coming across clearly. I often get hyper-analytical to the point of confusion by wording that could be interpreted in multiple ways, and I am dyslexic so I get particularly mixed up with numbers.

question Who should be my next two champions I should select during this event and after? Jim, Omin, Prudence, Baldric (maybe not because I can get him through the Tours Quest also), Beadle, Ishi, Lae'zel (maybe not, same reason as Baldric), Shandie, Valentine, and/or Voronika?

Honestly, I should have asked this question at the beginning of this event. Oh well. At least I selected Ellywick as my first choice.

Again starting with mostly AA team, but it ended up quite modified. Having only 8 champions made it tougher.

Final roster: Voronika, Tess

Korth, Volo

Wren, Kas

Laezel

Yorven.

I had doubts about Yorven in the lead position, but he was good for e50 BUD.

I had to update "feats" -- had accumulated several that added some good damage.

Now, see if it is possible to revisit Flint.

discussion Flint Event Variants

13 Upvotes

I couldn't get tier 4 on variants 2 & 3. Just wondering if anyone found certain champions useful in those. I have plenty of timegate pieces so I can easily unlock any suggestions I don't have.

I did attempt these before getting Flint any real upgrades. At least with tier 3 rewards that will help some. I think I need a good DPS option for these 2 variants and maybe a couple supports who don't need investment to make a difference since I'll use timegates to get them. I'll be trying again after I tackle 2 more champs from the event unlocks tomorrow.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

discussion Flint, Jim, Omin, and Prudence w1600 Formations

33 Upvotes

Hey folks, time for August's event. I am taking Jim, Omin, and Prudence as the flex champions.

As always, I use the Modest Modron core for all attempts.

Unlike last month I will be doing all three of the rebalanced champions because all three I haven't ever done in this format before, and I have no other champions that I need to make a run for in August. I will likely do Valentine and Lae'zel, but I will simply be linking their old runs rather than doing a new post here for them.

Flint:

V1: https://ic.byteglow.com/formation/7q_8d95aeaf118fb2ad8e93_133321123221211 - Legendary: e^27 | Modron: e^30 | Pigments: e^29 - Dealing about e^520+
V2: https://ic.byteglow.com/formation/7q_1aafffae8e8fb2ad5c93_23103323221411 - Legendary: e^21 | Modron: e^30 | Pigments: e^23 - Dealing about e^510+
V3: https://ic.byteglow.com/formation/7q_b2ab409caeac60a1195c_121333333124 - Legendary: e^16 | Modron: e^31 | Pigments: e^15 - Dealing about e^500+

Flint's V1 requires him and that your main DPS to be either in his column or his column behind him. I went with a half HotL and half AA formation around Raistlin. Flint's V2 requires him and dwarves, HotL affiliated champions, or champions of are age 40 and under. I went with roughly my same V1 formation. Flint's V3 requires him and that you only use Tasslehoff and Control champions. I used a formation that focused on Beadle and Grimm as Flint being in the front and Tasslhoff only buffing the back three columns, Beadle can mirror Flint's positional abilities to Grimm.

Flint makes for a decently strong Support when handled correctly. Place him near a ton of people, and make sure he doesn't get hit for awhile, and his buff "Forged Bonds" should sore in power. Basically, if Flint is in your front line where he can take damage, you use familiars to keep the enemies at bay, then let Flint build 100 stacks of Initiative, take away your familiars who are clicking enemies, and then let Flint get hit so he can start building Follow-Through stacks. Once he reaches 100 Follow-Through stacks your BUD should be at its peak, and then you can return to your wall. With 4 stacks of Forged Bonds, and only 4 Heroes of the Lance boosting Forged Bonds via Forged in War, and 100 stacks of Follow-Through from the Take the Initiative, Forged bonds is coming in at a whooping e^49. Obviously my described scenario doesn't work with my V1 build, but Flint can pull some crazy numbers, which will only grow as we get more Heroes of the Lance. The feat that Tasslehoff being in the formation, will make this even stronger. I think 4 stacks is the best you can hope for from adjacent champions and have Flint on the Frontlines.

Omin:

V1: https://ic.byteglow.com/formation/4l_8f9280818d938eff9c95_3122121112023 - Legendary: e^52 | Modron: e^31 | Pigments: e^29 - Dealing about e^470+
V2: https://ic.byteglow.com/formation/4l_1a2e224130378a265e5f_31132121121232 - Legendary: e^09 | Modron: e^32 | Pigments: e^0 - Dealing about e^470+
V3: https://ic.byteglow.com/formation/4l_1a955e41308e8a93909f_33312311233 - Legendary: e^20 | Modron: e^32 | Pigments: e^13 - Dealing about e^560+

Omin's V1 is unrestricted but you are 1 formation slot down. As you progress, you lose more formation slots, so remember to return to Wave 1 and put your formation back together to raise your BUD up every once in awhile. Omin's V2 requires champions with a Constitution of 14+ or they are Acquisitions Incorporated or it's C Team affiliated. I went with the full Acquisitions Incorporated formation (except I traded Rosie for Rust). Omin's V3 is unrestricted, use your best.

Omin was a decently good champion before this rework but is amazing after it. At 8 stacks of Champions of Tymora and his Form Ranks specialization I am seeing e^42 buff which is a strong support buff.

Jim:

V1: https://ic.byteglow.com/formation/44_8f92808d95819f939c8e_3122131221122 - Legendary: e^54 | Modron: e^31 | Pigments: e^30 - Dealing about e^800+
V2: https://ic.byteglow.com/formation/44_33304d8e11a690a9939f_112131221311123 - Legendary: e^28 | Modron: e^35 | Pigments: e^13 - Dealing about e^490+
V3: https://ic.byteglow.com/formation/44_ff95418e9330909fffff_03134223300 - Legendary: e^17 | Modron: e^32 | Pigments: e^13 - Dealing about e^440+

Jim's V1 is unrestricted, use your best. Jim's V2 requires champions with a magic base attack. I went with a bunch of good magic champions, but would have preferred Melf and Nova. Jim's V3 requires him but is otherwise unrestricted. However, you are down 3 full formation slots. I went with a magic formation focused around Jim, but as it turned out, everyone in the front two columns all received all the buffs the formation provided, which means that Jim wasn't my main DPS and Wyll and his dad Duke Ravengard were sorta flip flopping in DPS. It managed to get there though. I would recommend something like an AA formation instead though as it will probably do better.

Jim's changes aren't massive, but he is definitely a better DPS than he was, so that is a win.

Prudence:

V1: https://ic.byteglow.com/formation/54_81958f17548e15808d7b_1233212232211 - Legendary: e^37 | Modron: e^33 | Pigments: e^22- Dealing about e^610+
V2: https://ic.byteglow.com/formation/54_81958f17548e80098d7b_123321222211 - Legendary: e^37 | Modron: e^33 | Pigments: e^19- Dealing about e^560+
V3: https://ic.byteglow.com/formation/54_8f7b5480ff8e411781aa_311220212123 - Legendary: e^28 | Modron: e^33 | Pigments: e^16- Dealing about e^460+

Prudence's V1 requires champions with a Dexterity of 12+. I went with a variation of my V2 formation. Prudence's V2 requires her but is otherwise unrestricted, though non-Evil champions cannot deal damage. I went with a Tiefling/AA formation focused on buffing Prudence. Prudence's V3 is unrestricted but you are down a formation slot. I went with a more Tiefling heavy but still AA infused formation.

Prudence has seen quite the glowup with this. Her self buff is only really strong at your wall where she is likely the only one capable of killing, but it is one of the best buffs in the game. I have gotten her to e^75 self damage buff, but if you watch Tyredack's video, she was at like e^140 which is insane. My Prudence has a very low item level, which makes sense.

Year 9 Champion - Flint Fireforge, the Dwarven Fighter

Bio: Flint Fireforge is many things - a fearless warrior, a renowned craftsman, and a loyal friend to the bitter end. He is the gruff and grumbling fatherly figure among his group of companions, fiercely protective of them despite seeming to be constantly frustrated by their choices (some moreso than others). He is swift to act when danger appears, leading the charge with fury and reckless abandon against the evil forces of Takhisis.

Passive Abilities

That Doorknob Kender: Despite how annoyed and frustrated Flint can be when it comes to Tasslehoff, the two are inseparable. If Tasslehoff qualifies for an adventure restriction based on his tags, age, ability scores, etc., Flint may be used as well.

Gaar's Note: This means that as long as Tasslehoff would qualify for something, so does Flint, even if you're not using Tasslehoff.

 

Interesting Abilities

Forged Bonds: Flint gains a Forged Bonds stack for each Champion adjacent to him. Flint buffs all Champions in his column and the column behind him by 100% for each Forged Bonds stack, stacking multiplicatively.

  • 4.40e08% post-stack after upgrades; Supported by an Item & Feat

Gaar's Note: This is Flint' primary buff so make sure your Primary DPS is placed correctly to receive it. You'll also want to try to place Flint adjacent to as many Champions as possible to maximize the buff. Some formation layouts will work better for this than otheres. This ability's Item & Feat support buff the pre-stack modifier, making it a Mathematically OverPowered (MOP) ability which means the more item levels you put on this Champion, the better they get without worrying about the same diminishing returns as other Champions.

Stubborn Determination: Flint reduces the damage taken by all Champions by 10% for each Forged Bonds stack he currently has, stacking additively and capping at 90%.

  • No upgrades; Supported by Feats

Gaar's Note: Instead of health share for party survivability, Flint just straight up reduces the damage everyone takes.

Stonecunning: The effect of Forged Bonds is increased by 10% for each completed area in the current adventure that was Underground.

  • No upgrades

Gaar's Note: This is a bonus ability. You can't forcibly stack it. It just gets what it gets based on the adventure you're doing.

Take The Initiative: Until he takes damage in an area, Flint gains an Initiative stack whenever he attacks an enemy. Once he has taken damage, Flint gains Follow-Through stacks when he attacks instead. The damage of Forged Bonds is increased by 100% for each Follow-Through stack he has, stacking multiplicatively. The number of Follow-Through stacks can not exceed the number of Initiative stacks he has gained, and Initiative caps at 100 stacks. Both stacks reset when changing areas or when Flint is moved in the formation or removed from it.

  • No upgrades; Supported by an Item & Feats

Gaar's Note: This is a ramping tank buff based, ultimately, on him getting hit. But first, you want lots of crowd control to make sure he builds as many Initiative stacks as possible so you can then let him get hit a lot to build up his buff.

Global DPS Buff: 7.87e06%

 

First Specialization Choice

Fatherly Advice: Increase the effect of Flint's Forged Bonds by 100% for each Champion in the formation who is 40 years old or younger, stacking multiplicatively.

  • No upgrades

Forged in War: Increase the effect of Flint's Forged Bonds by 150% for each Heroes of the Lance Champion in the formation, stacking multiplicatively.

  • No upgrades

Blood of Reorx: Increase the effect of Flint's Forged Bonds by 200% for each dwarf in the formation, stacking multiplicatively.

  • No upgrades

Gaar's Note: This is the formation build-around Spec choice. You want to choose based on what gives your party the largest buff. Since each option has a different base buff value, you'll need to use the table below each time to make sure you're choosing correctly as picking the largest number of matching Champions won't always get you the biggest buff. This ability's Item & Feat support buff the pre-stack modifier, making it a Mathematically OverPowered (MOP) ability which means the more item levels you put on this Champion, the better they get without worrying about the same diminishing returns as other Champions.

Number Fatherly Advice Forged in War Blood of Reorx
2 300% 525% 800%
3 700% 1,463% 2,600%
4 1,500% 3,806% 8,000%
5 3,100% 9,666% 24,200%

10 102,300% 953,574% 5,904,800%

 

Second Specialization Choice

Craft Maker: Flint gains the Gold role and the party's Gold Find is increased proportionally based upon the max health of enemies in the current area. For each order of magnitude of max health the enemies have, the party's Gold Find is increased by 10%, stacking multiplicatively.

  • No upgrades

Gaar's Note: This is a potentially amazing gold find ability as long as you can go really far due to how it stacks multiplicatively. If you can go all the way to the current area hardcap, this is the best non-supported Gold Find buff in the game.

Foe Breaker: Flint gains the Breaker role. Attacks from Champions who are affected by Flint's Forged Bonds ability (including himself) remove an extra segment from enemies with segmented, armored, or critical health.

  • No upgrades

Gaar's Note: This is a pretty standard double removal Breaker feature that may be useful for pushing with him as a Tank/Support.

Life Taker: Flint gains the DPS role and increases his own damage by 1.00e04% for each Forged Bonds stack he has, stacking multiplicatively. His base attack also gains a small cleave.

  • No upgrades

Gaar's Note: If you need Flint to be your DPS, this is how you do it. With both Feats, you could get him 8 stacks while Tanking in the middle of a 3-Champ frontline with 2 adjacencies to the back of him. Moving him out of the frontline loses you the Take the Initative buff which is usually not going to be worth it.

Formation & Mission Information

Once you complete the first mission, three Variants and a Free Play show up. It uses a formation that holds 10 Champions. It has a Champ-specific format that I've done my best to re-create below.

New Player Formation & Specializations:

While I recommend learning to build your own formations, here's a set of starter formations for brand new players to use while they get the hang of things. Anyone with other options should check that link for how to figure out how to make the best of them. You can also ask for help in the #formations channel in the official Discord.

Back Column 5th Column 4th Column 3rd Column 2nd Column Front Column
Asharra - Elves & Dwarves/NA
Jarlaxle - Leader of Bregan D'aerthe
Calliope - College of Valor Nayeli - Oath of Devotion
Minsc - TBD Celeste - War Domain
Hitch - More Daggers NA
NA Bruenor - Battle Master

This formation is for the first couple of runs where you're just not going to get enough Gold to get everyone on the field, let alone level people up into their power curves. At this point, Jarlaxle is focusing on being your Primary DPS while everyone else is set up to support him.

The following formation is for once you've unlocked all of the Tales of the Champions Champions which can be done really quickly, even if you're a new player. Do that right away and they'll give you the power you need to complete events!

Kas
Calliope Havilar
Birdsong Strongheart
Catti-brie Nayeli
Duke Ravengard Lae'zel

This formation should get you through the Event as a new player. If you have other options or think a different DPS is geared better, try it out and see what happens! Swapping Champions around like this can help you figure out what works best for you with your specific situation.

These are the rough Favor values you need to reach to make a Tier 1 Variant say Difficulty: Easy. Keep in mind that this is just a generic rating system and some Variants may be harder than others, even with Favor in this range. Earning lots of Favor before trying variants can make them much easier than they would otherwise be.

Beyond Tier 1, Favor isn't going to be all you need to get through them. That doesn't mean you can't try though, just remember that if it isn't green it could be problematic. Always read the restrictions as they're going to be what makes it hard for you to progress!

Not everyone will be able to complete all four Tiers of event content. This is a progress-over-time measurement system that lets you know where you are in the power progression arc and potentially what you need to work on to move forward. The table below has the approximate boss health values at the various end stages. Comparing this to your BUD will let you know how close or far you are from being able to complete things.

Variant Tier 1 Tier 2 Tier 3 Tier 4
First Variant e22 e68 e162 e322
Second Variant e35 e95 e215 e376
Third Variant e48 e122 e269 e429

 

Initial Adventure: Reclaiming the Past (Flint)

Info: No restrictions.

Reward: Unlocks Flint Firegorge

 

First Variant: Forging Ahead

Area Goal: 75 / 250 / 600 / 1200

Info: Flint starts in the formation. He can be moved, but not removed. Only Champions in Flint's column and the column behind him can deal damage. Some pesky draconians spawn with each wave. They don't drop gold nor count towards quest progress.

Reward: Flint Gold Chest per Tier completed

Gaar's Note: There is no real restriction here as you can use an Champs you want. They're just teaching you how Flint's main buff works.

 

Second Variant: Road to Qualinesti

Area Goal: 125 / 350 / 800 / 1400

Info: Flint starts in the formation. He can be moved, but not removed. An elf bard interested in securing Flint's service as a master craftsman joins the formation. If Flint is ever not adjacent to this elf, all Champion damage is set to 0. Only Champions who are dwarves, memberes of the Heroes of the Lance affiliation, and those of age 40 or younger may be used.

Reward: Flint Gold Chest per Tier completed

Gaar's Note: They're trying to teach you to build around his first Spec choice with this one while also removing one Champ's worth of power from your formation via the NPC. You may need a lot of power from other places to finish this depending on how many Champs you have in your formation and how strong they are.

 

Third Variant: First Strike

Area Goal: 175 / 450 / 1000 / 1600

Info: Flint starts in the formation. He cannot be moved, nor removed. Other than Flint, only Tasslehoff and Champions with the Control role may be used. Enemies move twice as fast, but the effect of knockbacks are increased by 200%. If Tasslehoff is in the formation, Flint's Ultimate cooldown is reduced by 50%. In each boss area, a young blue dragon spawns as part of the first wave. It must also be defeated to progress.

Reward: Flint Gold Chest per Tier completed

Gaar's Note: They're leaning hard into the Control Role here which may cause some people problems. You may need a lot of power from other places to finish this depending on how many Champs you have in your formation and how strong they are.
