Sounds like you’re tacking on multiple layers of handicaps instead of playing it like normal. The game isn’t mechanically challenging at all, it’s just gated so heavily by busywork. If you stay at “suggested level” but canvas the map for Da Mina weapons it’s still a stomp.
Tbh a significant amount of your power budget and scaling -not being tied at all to actual combat- is probably the cause for said difficulty. If you fully utilize arena, supports, and the shitty dungeon combat for levels, game is laughably easy even for a blind no blessing run.
Notably it’s 15 Str vs the single digit Ferg (unless you want to be bow-locked), in addition to the class growths which are typically 10-15 Spd higher than horse cavs.
Black Horse is the only one with Str and Spd growths, Ferg has no Spd and Wild has no Str, in addition to most cav classes up to advanced gimping your Spd compared to Orniuses. Also meant dual magic with at least 1 Seeker ability, since they’re kind of needed for hordes.
Sacred Gem Dietrich’s existence at bare minimum growths is already game warping enough that they clearly did not attempt to balance this title. I get the challenging oneself thing but in this case there was no matching amount of effort from the devs to respect your own put in:
That’s wild, i actually think the Sothisverse titles are barely Fire Emblem at this point and more directionless Persona ripoffs. Engage was a better Fire Emblem, but still a far cry from the likes of Awakening and SoV.
The downgrades that will always haunt me are Lin Yuhsia and Chen teaser vs playable swimsuit designs 😔
This isn’t even accounting for how more cards are asset flips from other Riot projects instead of original art for the card game, but hey cash cow is working as intended.
As a fulltime illustrator myself and someone who pays regular attention to all these artists’ work, a good 60-70% of Riftbound’s card art since UNL has been very clearly rushed/given insufficient cook time or worse has just been cropped so poorly as to make the work look ass.
The coolest thing about this card is that you can say -no- to an opponent’s Hidden Blade because you’re not a charity case and can beat them without extra draws 🙃
Dude they fucking ruined Envar Studio’s work with the SFD OVNs. All the cool acrylic texturework gone because they insisted on their shitty crops.
Just gonna sneak this post in under all my comms until situation resolves >< xitter.cf/andyfaceo7/status/2102…
Ever get buttfucked by the universe twice in a row? Had to move out on super short notice December last year, now it might be happening again. I’m the kind to normally bite down and struggle quietly, but if you like my work I could really use some help 🙏 streamlabs.com/andyface/tip
