Discussion: Ronin Rune Preview & Holiday Challenge Awards

For the Empire! I hope he brings another flavor to the theme.

 

Why does a rune with 0 attack have Essence Capture?

 

Can Firk Executioner attack shrines? If so, this could be bad....

 

Mind Meld: This unit base damage is equal to the ammount of friendly champions with Attack: Psychic multiplied by 3, including itself.

Also I don't like the blur on the new sprites

 

Apparently the old Cyclops Empire used technology instead of solely relying on magic.
Always interesting to learn more about the old Empire.

 

Monocle and Pipe. We need an alter with him also wearing a top hat. <3

 

we don't know what mind meld or stasis does

 

I'm guessing mnd meld is something like strength of body

 

Firk looks interesting.

Cyclops looks boring.

 

Still curious what stasis does.

 

Likely similar to what Goyo said. As long as it isnt something dumb like Mind Meld: - All champions with Attack: Psychic have their damage set to the average of their damage values., we will be cool.

 

@Senshu Firk executioner's flavor text, you should fix the last line.

 

Firk Executor
Council: Champions... Really? On top of FS bonus, and it stacks with two Executors... Imagine consecutively deploying Executors... From turn 3 to say turn 30, if I deployed 12 champs, it'd mean I'm already paying for my Executors for free. OP.

Cyclops
I simply dont understand the synergy of this guy and the whole strux community... Is he a UD split or what? I dont get it. I was hoping the cyclops would at least be playable with Metallic slag. Such a disappointment. Not OP, not underpowered, but boring bland and nothing new. I suspect the fireclinkers would detonate upon death or have Fire Aura 3 to heal the cyclops.

I was hoping to get a cheap Tinkerer on SP side who has:

A) Nora gen (to work with war-enchanted groble)

B) Boost: Construct, or Leverage: Construct (to make Clay Form worth it)

C) or placing free relics (for Calcified Lurker)

But no we get Fire Eater sandbaggery with Weaken Spells/Warding/wtvr

 

Seriously council: Champions?
Council:champion- When an opposing player successfully deploys a champion, you gain 5 nora.
OP? i can imagine in a 2v2 you get more nora than UT lolz
Also 15 nora so cheap after opponent deploys 3 champions it already break even

 

FIRK YEAH A FIRK PREVIEW FINALLY THE PROPHECY HAS BEEN FULFILLED *explodes into meat jelly*

 

My guesses:

Reclaim Material: Everytime a real construct champion you own dies, you gain 5 nora

Mind Meld: This champions' base attack damage is equivalent to the nearest friendly champion with Attack: Psychic.

 

Guess:
Reclaim Material links with the Firecase abilty that shows a mechanical crab and maybe a new equip synergy with SP

Mind Meld: Champion targets any champion and gains there attack for 5 turns.

 

"Executors are not known to jump to conclusions, but when the decision is made to strike, it does so decisively and with the full support its brethren."

Can we please show a tiny bit of attention to the rune descriptions?
When did Firk become "it"? Are they officially gender-less?

Also,
"Executors are not known to jump to conclusions, but when the decision is made to strike, they do so decisively and with the full support of their brethren."
Especially since AFAIK Firk are always referred to as plural.

If it was the first time a description looked like it belonged to a chinese money-grab game, it would be k.
But this feels like the millionth.

...

Yes, I'm mad. These things just get to me.

I'll state once again that I'm willing to go over every single rune description and optimize it for free.
