Spirit Island: Is this Spirit for YOU? Downpour Drenches the World

downpour is a great water plant spirit

Loving these videos. Can't wait to hear your thoughts on finder when you're feeling up to it!

Interesting, I played Downpour for the first time yesterday (4-handed solo against Prussia Lv.3, all spirits/aspects I hadn't played before except for 1, so my attention was a bit divided) and I grew almost exclusively top track at the beginning because to me it felt like the lack in plays would be mitigated by all the water (which it did in a way). I never grew to 3 plays and stopped at 2, which ended up being pretty ok for that game. Had almost its entire island board cleared with holy sites along the coast. Felt really nice and thematic to have this nonstop monsoon preventing the invaders from making landfall. ^^ I had a lot of fun with it and I'm looking forward to my next time using it but I can see how it could grow a bit stale after a while. ^^ The other new ones that game for me were Dances and River (Haven), which were also pretty fun. Dances was a bit daunting at first but I pulled off 2-3 pretty big turns and I'm quite satisfied with the results for my first time using it (and only 15th or 16th game overall yet of SI). The one I had played before was Trickster. Had played it once before and liked it, played it again this time and it was a lot of fun again. :D

Played them last night, my partner played Nourishing Earth, against Scotland 6, pretty smooth win, I grew a bit differently, instead of reclaiming the normal second scheduled time and reclaiming with a card left, I G3ed again grabbing the top water, it was a more fun build but I don’t find the spirit fun enough. Felt Nourishing was just playing so much more diversely. Isolating 3-4 lands was fun though!

Can we get Fractured days next, please?

I am taking a break from videos, but will have the last 3 spirits updated at some point this fall!

[@chosenoneunmatched4617]

When you replay a power card from your in special power... do you replay all three elements on that card. In other words, can 1 card played multiple times generate its printed elements multiple times equal to the amount of times you replay it, or does it just count for one time?

[@RedReVenge007]

Repeating a card does not grant the elements again for this SR.

Which mod do you use on TTS? I can't find one that includes NI.

[@RedReVenge007]

There is an additive load!

Hi thanks for your videos I would like to know if you can help me, I'm trying to find original spirits portraits from all parts in good quality, I found a couple, but otherwise the Internet does not help much I want to collect them all to use for wallpaper on my computer You always have portraits on the preview, so maybe you know where to look?

[@BoDDyS]

You can look up the artists, some of them have posted the art on their deviantarts or similar platform. I got BoDDYS and WWB that way.

Is it allowed to target the same land when repeating a power card with Downpour? Or must it always be a different land?

[@RedReVenge007]

Different land or same land!

[@tibart01]

​@@RedReVenge007awesome, I didn't misplay then😊 I thought the wording was a bit wonky (personally I would have said something like "it doesn't need to target the same land"), but maybe that is because English isn't my native language.

[@jonashartmann6687]

Question for gaze: can it repeat multiple cards ?

[@RedReVenge007]

Yes, but card repeats must be in the same land land as the original target.

[@fapnyashka526]

Jist curious - why Stone is your favourite spirit? I mean you said that downpour is defensive spirit with only one reasonable progress path. But Stone has only top track growth option... maybe you like Stone because you really can choose different cards that will alter how the game goes...

[@RedReVenge007]

Stone is not my favorite spirit. I'd say top 10 though. Stone has plenty of interesting drafts and has an interesting presence placement puzzle that a lot of people underestimate. Your drafts really shake up what you can do with Stone and you can tech majors. DP's puzzle is very bland as you always run the same few cards the first 1-4 turns (which isn't the same for Stone). Also you never have an opportunity to go majors with DP and it gets edge cased quite a lot.

@@RedReVenge007 thank you for your answer, I agree! What are your top 3 favourite spirits? (I don't remember... Did you make video about this?)

does the discard mean to forget these cards permanently or just into personal discard pile

[@RedReVenge007]

Places cards into discard from hand.

I really like downpour a lot thematically but hes so boring! Well said red.
