So many good 2 player combos; Brute + Mindthief, Brute + Scoundrel, Brute + Spellweaver...Brute + Cragheart

@ogreman2229 3 жыл бұрын

I’m seeing a trend in these options.....apparently the brute is non-negotiable

Cragheart + SpellyMcWeavy is better

The tinkerer at mid levels is surprisingly tanky. When the others were down on HP, he could take some hits. He's not a weak as scoundrel or spellweaver

My boi Mindthief!! I've had so much fun playing this character you'll have fun if you're strategically mischievous, also probably best for a 4 player party

@@fiskenburg007 check out page 26 in the rulebook: online.flippingbook.com/view/598058/26/ That symbol means it's a persistent effect as in, the summon stays persistently until it's destroyed. When destroyed the card is trashed, which is what the red x means

My experience with Tinkerer is that he can dish out very good damage but only for a limited time per scenario. I play 3p solo. It was easy to justify eagle goggles for him, and power potion was an early purchase. You can go nuts throwing high aoe damage cards while buffed up. Nothing you can sustain for the whole scenario, but great for wiping out problematic hordes. And most scenarios only have three or so significant rooms. Easy to ration loss cards.

@tr0nb0y Жыл бұрын

Preamble for the uninitiated: Burning cards immediately shrinks your deck. When you run out of cards in your deck, you exhaust (out of the mission). Burning cards early is generally not a good practice. I'm currently playing the Tinker, and the only way to get exp with this character class (mid-mission) is to burn cards. Literally so. The only cards that give the Tinkerer exp must be burned. So if you have a more economic play style (like I prefer), this will take a lot of adjusting. This is why they start with 12 cards, way more than any other class. Contrast this to the Mindthief I'm partied with who gets 1-2 exp every turn without burning cards. They are currently 2 lvls ahead of me and we started at the same time. Something to consider.

@NikoTeaJay Жыл бұрын

My starting Tinkerer got the "exhaust many times" quest. I feel that really helped me see how the class can be played aggressively. He was routinely a level above rest of the party.

In a 2 player game, (for a new GH player who only played JOTL) is Brute or Crag “necessary” to soak up some damage? All these characters look good, but some combos seem questionable unless you’ve played them before and understand their play style.

@groundhogplay9932 3 жыл бұрын

I would recommend maybe the cragheart if it's a first play through, reason being, he can absorb a bit of damage, and has the ability to heal. If the other player is the brute, should be able to make some good plays happen 👍

@@groundhogplay9932 but, can you play effectively without 1 of those 2 “tanks”?

@sebastienlavergne7416 2 жыл бұрын

@@TheVlad1616 yes although I found that scenarios that had « survive x number of rounds » as the objective were harder without these two. Every two character combination is viable especially on normal difficulty which is what makes the game so much fun. The only character I don’t recommend for two players is tinkerer (although still viable).
