How do I unlock each individual piece of layered armor? Like locations of monsters to hunt.
@TaintedMantis
@TaintedMantis 28 күн бұрын
Most of them require you to simply hunt the main monsters for individual materials to unlock the actual armor sets. Once the main set is unlocked can you then make the layered pieces. There are a few pieces that are hidden behind specific quests but mostly just hunt the main monsters down!

Thank you for your kind comment. 😄 The indie scene is incredible with so much love that goes to creating these games that have a tendency to be overshadowed by larger companies with massive resources. Will look forward to sharing more cool games when I find them! 👀🙌

There is a variant of your build that needs a Chain Crit 5 ooo, but it offers slightly better defense. Replace GX Old Fatalis chest with GX Kushala chest, and Lagiacrus arms with GX Old Fatalis arms. Alternatively, if you have a Pierce Up 6 ooo talisman, you can use the full GX Old Fatalis set for all aforementioned skills plus Fleet Feet. You'd need regular Narga LBG for this for the two slots, though, unless you get a Pierce Up 6 Chain Crit 2 ooo or a Chain Crit 4 Pierce Up 4 ooo. I use the regular Narga LBG since I was lucky to get a Pierce Up 6 ooo, and hoo boy, I haven't looked back. Evade Extender is so useful, and Peak Performance is so easy to keep up as a gunner. The Horrible Luck is of no consequence unless you want certain materials or you're charm farming.

On your first winning hand example you have 2 character pair, 6-7-8 char, bird 2-3 bamboo, you have a dot pair but then random 7 dot and 6 and 7 bamboo. How does the 7 dot and 6 and 7 bamboo make this a winner? Sorry, I am a novice.

@homiwan 8 күн бұрын
Yeah that's not a final winning hand, but I suppose it's a good example of a hand that's 2 tiles away from winning... ie. needs to finish the 2 char or 2 dot pong, as well as the 5 or 8 bamboo chow

Can you win with having a set of 4 ….. like Kong I guess ? And how many Kongs can you have ? Because if you have set of 4 then you won’t get your double at the end
@TaintedMantis
@TaintedMantis 5 ай бұрын
Thank you for your question. Yes, it is possible to win with all kongs in the same hand (maximum 4 Kong meld sets plus a pair of "eyes"), though that will be very rare as it'll depend on how lucky you are to be able to achieve this hand. You will still require a pair of "eyes" to win, as when the player makes a Kong meld, they are required to draw another tile from the other end of the wall (the same end where you patch your flower tiles instead of the part where you do the regular draw). I hope that answers your question!

How are honour tiles used and scored?
@TaintedMantis
@TaintedMantis 5 ай бұрын
Thank you for your question!😃 Short answer: Honor tiles can be used in your hand but can only be formed into Pong melds (3 of a kind) or Kong (4 of a kind). Longer answer: On the other hand, it's a whole different beast to explain in the comment section, and scoring is slightly different as it depends on a few other factors, such as how many melds you have and what kind of hand you're building (e.g. do you have numerical runs etc), but I will try my best to answer them in a follow up video. 🀄

Appreciate the review, based on your feedback I'll pick this up. One thing - the video is somewhat jittery and was giving me a headache with frameskips. Capture card or upload, I'm not certain, but just wanted to call it out. Content-wise, however, no issues. Thanks again.

breaking wings is a knockdown. Breaking the tail shrinks the boulders. breaking the horns makes em shorter allowing you to more easily avoid certain attacks easier. In certain cases it may be worth bringing partbreaker over damage increasing skills. or earplugs/evade window or extender to avoid the charge after roar. or run alchemy for earplugs

At 17:57, how do you tell we are seated in the north seat?
@TaintedMantis
@TaintedMantis 9 ай бұрын
Thank you for your question. I will be using our point of view as point of reference. If we look to our right of the screen where the yellow box is, we see there are 3 dice and an S. This gives us 2 pieces of information: 1. The first piece of information that you're asking is who the dealer for that particular game is. The player who throws the dice is always the dealer, and the position of the dealer is always the East wind seat position. This then indicates the wind direction of all the other players in the process, and we always move in the anti-clockwise direction. This means that the player sitting across from us is in the South wind seat position, the player to our left the West position, and our seat in the North position. 2. The second piece of information we see is the S, this means we're playing the South wind round. For this, the wind position changes after every player has had the chance to be the dealer at least once (the nuance of it will be explained in a different video as it can get a little complicated if we do not see the visuals). Anyway, let me know if this helped!

Hello and thank you for your comment! 😊 For wall building, remember to just shuffle everything face down, then build 4 rows of 18 tiles, stacked 2 tiles high so that each wall will consist of 36 tiles total. Also, aim to focus on learning to build your hand first during game play so you can practice winning! 😉
