So this has temporarily been hotfixed to 50nora. It may get a redesign in the near future. How are people feeling about it as it is? Worth running at 50 nora? in all decks? edit: new version is: 35 nora - equipped champion gains manic. If equipped on a non-imp it has -4 damage and -1 speed.
I'm really pi**ed of that for the n-th time a bad designed rune go directly from hero to zero. And there is no point in discuss about a lazy change.
Dunno about 2x auto at 50 nora, I still think it is, but it's definitely still 1x auto in nearly all decks
I've been running 2x in a Gobbo deck and using them on the king or a gloombringer. Or as needed elsewhere. I reckon I'd still run two. In my meta BG I'd run two for the Ireguards. So I guess I'd still run two. Still can't beat a well played worms deck though...
Humm, ok. I'm really struggling to stay positive, polite and all, but since this rune is too OP for me to handle it nicely, and it really hanst been fixed yet, I will just quote this: Summons my thoughts 100%.
Perhaps it should be more akin to the Helm of Chaos where the champ loses HP each turn, as well as speed? Bezerk frenzy style
It looks absolutely abysmal now. So, I'm paying 35 nora just to gain Manic. This in itself is dubious enough, especially given that (in my experience at least) the AI has a tendency to just bugger up completely. Sometimes Manic champions don't move at all (even when an enemy is just 1-2 spaces away), other times they seem to move in the least logical way possible. At the very least, it's not exactly a bargain to begin with. But then it gets better - if I don't put it on an Imp, the champion also gets -4 DMG and -1 SPD. Seriously? Why would I ever include this?
Manic movement is logical. Just use the Appendix 1 chart on page 15 of the complete rules. This is stickied in General Discussion.
Very disappointing rune. Not that it got nerfed to hell...but the fact its IMP ONLY is garbage. WTF is the point. So to play with new runes I have to run that specific theme. Garbage.
Agreed. That being said I am not a fan of theme only items/spells that arent theme specific. Manic is not a goblin/imp thing. Now a good example of a GREAT thematic rune is blast doors for taurs, or the portal relic. These are theme specific runes that make sense.
