Cactuar Crate - Coalitions Edition

Sounds legit to me..

 

When can I expect this fix now that we're 3 weeks later?

 

Disappointing that such a bug/balance inconsistency, well-known and seemingly easy to fix, wasn't fixed with the last patch.

 

Nerf regal now?

I thought all the consolidation Nerf's were enough.

That said. Instead of removing the best part of regal, why not just remove it out of themes that don't need it. I.e. fairies, jakie(this is insane tbh ST never needed 25 hp on an entire race due to boost + regal and perhaps the biggest offender), skeezick(second biggest offender since its a heavy range theme with access to power spells)

I mean it's so game dependant when it's on units designed with it rather than this brainless route you took with fairy trash design or units that would be deployed anyway (I.e. JFQ with her massive range)

This is why I'm straight against consolidation. Everytime something is consolidated, the older competing stuff is axed hand in hand.

I mean couldn't you have proliferated battle matter instead?

 

I was about to reply exactly like this.

 

does Icewisp still need such a large modifier even after still life was nerfed.

 

I know where your going with this... As you always do with me.

I'm going to say it like this:

Regal presence on the handler was never complained about ever, because outside of his boost role, he is useless.

You release it on a meta champion.

Suddenly dorfs don't need it anymore because instead of having to risk a slot to make or break your bg you include a meta unit that has it instead for around 30 more Nora.

Now after you smash this ability will the handler ever see play again? Answer:No he mufoin won't ever out side of constructed melee oriented bgs.

Will Gedden still be remarkable? Yes he will cause he has other upgrade choices that work with what he's trying to do.



Also note, dorfs are also a phalanx strategy so of course they will be utilizing regal slot better than other factions in fact some need the boost. A dorf early game isn't the same as a skeezick early. 3 skeez (1 of them being the regal unit ) and you have +5 damage. That's from deploying only, dorfs already have to do hoop jumps with carouse(especially brew master) and spells to match that early damage, not to mention most of the champions units have subpar damage, speed, range, narrow roles, and no defensive abilities other than High hp, while a lot (barring units like ivory wing are exceptionally good) of those support units have little direct impact on combat(I.e. matron, beermade,medic, priest of valdac,dwarves Sarge) other than giving stats and ap to the units on the front.

Add in the fact that you made dorfs equipment based and range nerfed euan and prestige to x spaces,them having ironwill and fearless(the most strongest interaction of the ability outside of the stats) though regal seems more necessary.


Tldr: I'm an IS Zealot. Regal Nerf's will **** dorfs and less more than everyone else.

2ND tldr: This giving everyone everything is dumb when certain factions really never needed it

 

PLEASE don't hit loyalty because of regal presence.
FF has so little going for it, don't make it worse.

@Sokolov

 

I feel that with loyalty at 8 Nora,
While regal presence gives a bundle of benefits (loyalty, fearless and iron will) For 9 Nora.

Would be seen as very cheap as an ability that gives out loyalty alone.

That is how I feel on this subject, take it or leave it, it's just an opinion.

 

Yes.
I'm unsure how though. As it stands it's something of a "Super boost" that outclasses all other boost abilities and similar.

It's something that has repeatedly been deemed autoinclude in the racial themes it's available in, and has defined what themes usable simply because they do or don't have access to it which I think speaks volumes to it's power. It actually discourages theme diversity for themes that can be run with multiple factions.

I've toyed with a few ideas in my head but nothing fits right, and in our previous discussions you know how..."wild" my ideas can be

 

I have been told Chronomancer was adjusted just for me. Just because I found a way use her really efficiently the spell shift ability was changed. Spell shift now lowers the cool down for spells by five at the cost of 8 charges. Desecration has a cool down of five turns.

Again I will reiterate that desecration and other spell spams, multiple times in one turn, is possible only through Chronomancer's spell shift ability and optionally Ancestral Focus exclusively.

 

5:2 nora to shrine HP feels like the real problem there.

 

Indeed it is,
I'll trust you to know what you are doing with cases like Dwaren Handler as it seems rather fair.

For the sake of discussion I'd argue that you are paying for the versatility of crown of petals rather than the direct amount of regal presence.

I'd agree that primary worries about regal presence is the stack stacking and Wether it is appropriately costed or not,
The themes that have access to it personally does not worry me on the basis that they cannot stack stats to an extreme outlier of the standard.

The standard being derived by you of course xD
