PSA: Use Bobby's ridiculous event buff for the Elminster A Tale of Two Champions variant while you have the chance. With 50 ilvls and the event feat he pumps 300e DPS by himself, can hit stage 825 solo. Adding Valentine makes it 500e-ish. Same goes most of the other extremely restrictive Elminster (and Mirt) variants if they've been giving you trouble; limited time cheat code available.

I'd probably pick up at least Egbert this event since he is a meta gold champion. Certainty's ult is also useful for Azaka farming, and Corazon is generally useless but at least scales Egbert's gold find. So, yeah, not a great selection for flex this event.

With Bobbys T4 event buff is boosting Now We're Talking by 6300%, so instead of 2^20 it's 64^20, at the front of the pre-stack chain. Then you take Group Charge spec, and combine with with either Valentine or Warduke (who's been on the cartoon, as a side note) and thus Bobby gets buffed from Charge Into Battle AND Group Charge, separately. My e500 push team just bumped up to e900 Bobby at i300ish
@tyredack2 ай бұрын
I do feel like that both have the potential to change. I don't believe they intended the T4 Now We're Talking buff to be pre-stack, and Bobby buffing himself with Group Charge with Val is very reminiscent of how Nova used to work, which they eventually removed because mechanics like that are unintended. So, likely not intended either. Only time will tell though!

With all the recent champion releases, the game feels so much more comfortable. At the same time, CNE gives off the vibe that they stopped caring about balance. I don't really want to complain, but take Ellywick for example. She is so way over the top good for gem farming, it almost feels like as if CNE accidently overbuffed her gem farming. I remember having to save up for the 500k gem modron core for over a month when I was still fresh to the game. Farming 500k gems felt like an enourmous achievement, though admittedly I didn't have 4 gem farming teams running all the time back then. Nowadays I just leave IC running in the background and watch Ellywick netting me 200-300k+ gems per day with auto resets. It all depends on how lucky her card draw turns out to be. Just before Bobbys release, I had saved up 2 million gems in just like 1-2 week and burned through them. Feels good, but still questioning whether CNE is going to nerf Ellywick down the road or not (hopefully not!). At this point I wouldn't be surprised, if CNE released some blacksmithing champion, who gets 3 legendary blacksmithing contracts per day (starting with 100) or if they change Vin Ursa post release to make her drop purple bounty contracts +5 per day. Again I am not complaining but just wondering if CNE gave up on the game (especially after hearing about them releasing some workers) or if they finally thought that long time players would love optimization for farming. Also as always good job Tyredack!
@tyredack2 ай бұрын
We have really been getting power spikes lately, both in buffing numbers and gems for sure. Ellywick is wild once they ironed her out. I really don't think they'll nerf her, but I kind of suspect we might see a big halt on speed/gem Champions for a while, but you never know! It will be interesting to see what the future SMS Scavenging will be, might just be those smithing contracts.

Bobby gets some great numbers and scales really well with item levels. People who use Artemis but aren't hitting 2k in events or campaigns can almost certainly pump their numbers by swapping him and Zorbu. I'm probably gonna give him Torogar's legendaries during the anniversary celebration. He also let me beat One Spelljammer at a Time and Glory to Glorium for Elminster pretty handily. We're starting to get some really inflated numbers these last few events which is kind of concerning. Hopefully things don't go too crazy.

@tyredack2 ай бұрын
It looks like they fixed it to be a post-stack buff now (the tier 4 buff), which is what I expected they intended. That's why I gave the disclaimer text for that period because it was over inflated because it was applying to the pre-stack.

Sometimes the formation ability will say "increases the pre-stack," but a lot of the time you just have to look for yourself whether increases are affecting a post stack buff or the base number directly.

It's kind of funny, seeing an already reworked champion (D'Hani) in the "meh" category for event picks. Not saying you're wrong but it does seem to imply that they were slaking a bit on his rework, either that or it just wasn't a great character concept to begin with.
