ok so I am revisiting my old stitched BG and wanted to improve it and make it a bit meaner. Here is what I currently have: I am trying to trim fat and maximize efficiency. I am really not liking the monolith that much and am probably gonna swap for another first. I was running sarinda with eradicate, but I am thinking fascinate/harvest. Also I keep going back and forth between using suppression or not as it I have had mixed results. Massochism is FUN in the BG. Particularly if I know they can't do enough to one-turn the stitched first. Any feedback is great as I don't get to play often enough atm to really get the best feel for the BG. I have also thought about taking out the spire... Haven't decided. Oh and do you think I should get rid of sarinda/ stitchling?
I wouldn't drop the monolith - its not a champ you wanna deploy every game but if you're opponent rushes you it's amazing - especially if they have a lot of magic dmg. Is stitched possession still bugged (last time I used it the effect would go on the furthest champ away, but that was a while ago). I personally prefer repurp over possession, especially as it drops a remain (I think) - I've won games by just repurping a monolith into sarinda. I personally run sarinda but not sure if its worth it - I vry whenever I think about her old kit. I would definitely include a magearm, its upgrades are shitty and its fatness is annoying but it can pump out some real dmg and is a good target for tome (perhaps drop a hexer - although that may make you a tad lacking in the reconstruct options). I personally find 2x ME auto in stitched, you can get some game ending arises with it - especially if you combo it with warlocks charged blast. Hope this helps - I used to play a lot of stitched but haven't for a long time so take what I say with a pinch of salt
Retribution doesn't drop the relic does it? I'd swap it for Essence Drain/Repurpose. Also imo 2 suppressors and a spire is overkill, I'd swap the relic for another Echoes. I usually run with 2 hexers as is great for slowing up the pace vs rushy opponents. Monolith with sentinel is great both defensively and offensively. Sarinda is a great rune, specially considering your not running UT, I run her with the same upgrades then you. Librarian is not really needed imo, I'd get another first in its place. Also, sometimes I like to experiment with blood exchange + first.
Librarian is vital - detect and shatter in one champ, and he can sit around and drain Nora after he's been useful.
I took out the monolith atm. I took out the tower for another ME. I am messing with both the concealer and dream eater (ping). I am using drudgery on the hexer. I want to put in a lot of runes but no space. I put in a second first. Dropped Ret for siphon. Same purpose. Librarian is amazing btw. Great rune. Deconstructors: sarinda, 2 shaman, 1 warlock, 1 tome. Feels light there. Reconstructors are 2 first, sarinda, shamans, hexer, seamstress Once I figure out which stealth I like more (concealer vs dream eater) I will use just one of them. Will probably put the monolith in the empty slot after. Magearm is interesting. I haven't really played stitched in awhile so I remember them being pretty bad but they don't look so bad now. Maybe -1 first for one. Seamstress is for healing and disease breath as anti heal. I almost wanna put a second tome in but I only really use it on the tyrants. I prefer to reconstruct dream eaters but that doesn't always happen. I many time just consume the remains with the tyrants.'
Ok so after running things a bit more, definitely going shadow spawn/ping dreameater. I played a game where monolith was an amazing choice for deploy as it 1. Kept my font from being take. Quite well and 2. I used it as the masochism target which soaked up the damage from his avatar, allowing me to take him out. I see what you meant about the magearm. He was quite good and I even was able to just run him forward to lock up a mele unit. Double ME won me that game I mentioned as I was losing until I got 3 of his champs and two of mine in the AOE. My tyrant was the only survivor. Still looking into spell slot choices.
I ran this build with some success. https://poxbase.com/deck/cuNco3CyZCyKcuPcyBCyMCzJch-CiUS7s5Ts1-s4KS2tsLr3nr2Ye25e29eM The two open slots are Honor Coin. Slip one of these on a First and get perma heal. Also, KF has a great spell set for a Stitched build with a Dreameater emphasis, which is what I used.
