Stuart didnt need to go so hard, but did so anyway

Was going to mention this myself. I also like to pair with the Spiked Skullcap from Chirurgeon (like you mentioned) which you can get in any zone or Fisherman’s Lure if I get it in the shroud.

Ran it on Surgeon to good effect. Having a chance to do a party-wide stun with mag rain was pretty nice in addition to the potential extra bleed with Incision.

When I first saw the "if x type of item is equipped" stipulation, I thought it ONLY applied to other trinkets, I had to realize later that combat items can be serrated, noxious, etc. It's funny to see that same misunderstanding in the other direction.

More reason to nerf favorite toy lol

@@ShuffleFM What would be your suggestion? To split it into 3 new memories?

@@3goldfish If that's how favorite toy is changed, I'd be okay with it. It's only a tangible nerf to PD since most heros don't have access to other DoTs outside of combat items anyway.

Thats why you make sure whoever is in first place has over 100 move resist.

@@ExtremeMan10100 move resist in first rank won’t keep you there if a lower move resist hero in rank 2 is undertowed and the hand dies. Move resist isn’t checked when displacing for return of the snagged hero. So you need both front ranks to have max move resist to avoid the banner screwing up your party.

It specifically needs to be sergeant maa to deal with this and have him spam guard the person behind him. Or get a ton of drums

That trophy is surprisingly good

I have 3 of 4 with this one now :) All that's left is Foetor! They're in this list kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Zr6Xl9p0mbHXmKc.html&pp=gAQBiAQB

Wdym the doble combat item stacking trophy it's really good. Plus the effect of that Trophy stacks with other Stagecoach item. U can get up to 10 restorative ítems, or 4 ítems of any kind. It's arguably the second Best Trophy of the game

Its worth doing for compass alone imo. Sweater also wrecks ravenous reach.

I disagree, shroud is my favorite region and its drops are even better. The combat item stacking is huge, I personally use it more than say the immobilize or burn on crit trophies. Being able to bring 4 postules or 4 of the blood is very funny to me. The sodden sweater is goated too, considering most enemies apply bleed and mind you that 3/5 confession bosses causes movement disruption (Seething sigh, Ravenous Reach, and Body of Work). Nautical compass is random but personally provides more good than harm.

@@supersentaimexicano1967 the game already provides you with ample combat items that you can use at your leisure so stockpiling is ill advised. the only ones worth holding onto are the healing ones for the mountain fights but even then in my 400h of playthrough have found myself very rarely needing. I personally do not play much around combat items and I find myself tossing a lot of them away so for my playstyle the combat stacking trophy is redundant compared to the others. The trinkets however are really good but again for frontline ones the tangle ones are better by miles and for backline the shroud or even the foetor ones can also be far more applicable. Again this is my personal opinion but the combat items I find are always far more than enough to get me all the way to the end.

Nautical compass is the big reason to go to the shroud, like how snappy swig is for the sprawl. But, past that, The leviathan's trophies are very strong *if you choose to take advantage of it*. Lashing Tides is just free value if you're not dumping combat items at every node, doubly so if you happen to get one of the many "Produce X before every location" Stagecoach items; Stacking 4 healing salves, 3 triage kits, etc. etc. on your heros, or just 4 blood on tick runs saves a lot of space and provides loads of value on the fights that need them. The Beck and call being busted on a bleed heavy team is simple enough to understand, but taking advantage of it on non-bleed centric teams is as simple as equipping open vein, or incision, or harvest etc. etc.; Even one hero dishing out twice the bleed (Pseudo-doubling their turn) makes it well worth it along with equipping some of the levi-exclusive trinkets.

Ooh exciting! My mods to make my characters look utterly ridiculous return!

Sodden sweater on any frontline is basically a free heal on most non-region locked fight. All the "Road" factions have bleed, Oblivion fights usually have 2 evangelists and both size 2 cultists bleed. Past the odd stress/heal and resists it gives, if you wrap your friendly ravager in this, you have budget defiant.

I've never known ANY time undertow was able to do that, but no. The leviathan can't take more than one hero unless it's taking their life.

Thank you for watching!

Near the top the item will have tags that say what category it belongs to

Shroud is a big no-go for any movement-sensitive teams, but past that it's personally no harder than the one-shot haven that is the tangle. The only thing making the tangle less dangerous is that the general's gimmick is only prone to leaving your characters at high stress, whereas leviathan is gonna leave you with Stress, low health, and trauma from missing 5 attacks in a row because of leviathan's breath while death's door checking your backliners... but past that, the non-lair boss fish are pretty manageable.

@@josh___something It just feels so much more punishing to get hit by rng in the shroud. The enemies push, pull, and stack tokens much more often here than the Tangle. The difference in my opinion is that the enemies in the tangle usually need someone to enable them to make them super scary and they’re not usually super tanky.

@@rubythebee3958 I've been crit death's door'ed by a random footsoldier more than I have the docker, *and don't get me started on the knight and its champion variant.* The common enemies on the shroud are annoying, but ALL the tangle enemies are pains in the ass. The bishop is juuust high enough HP to tank a round of low rolled shots, arbalists are pieces of shit no matter what rank they're in, the drummer is the BANE of my existence, and The Knight's can and will just take heros from 100% to 0% if you had the misfortune of accidentally critting them to death's door. Meanwhile, the cabin boy is pretty much a gimme in most cases, the bosun and wharfrats are pushovers, the Fishmongerand captain is checkmated by a wonderful move called pulling them to front rank, and the docker is a diceroll either way, so honestly I'd take the L on both size 2s.

Forgot to put it in but it has a chance of applying vuln and blind to your party as well as 1 stress. It only appears in fisherfolk fights and it has a chance of appearing per turn.

Levi is arguably the hardest boss not counting confessions. If I had to put it in a ranking, it’s probably second or third with confessions mostly because SS and FF are pretty brutal.

@@rubythebee3958FF is trivial with the right gear or team. If you have a way to get stealth or dodge plus for every character or blind on FF, it removes the threat. I beat him my first time facing him because I got decent drops (two of the cultist trinkets that add stealth), was playing around with the Fire and Steel team to try a dance team with Intrepid Duellist, and had the Shambler Spawn pet because I was achievement hunting (didn’t find a shambler that run through) which allowed Cultist trinket without needing the stained item). The fights in the other zones were a bigger struggle.

@@Barghaest Count yourself lucky that you get to fight the well designed FF

@@rubythebee3958 Yes, pre-update I understand he was a nightmare.

Had enough of my units crit for 17 by foot soldiers personally :P

​@@ShuffleFM and for some dumbass reason the foot soldiers can target rank 3 with atrophic cut... that's so dumb. You'd think they were designed to spam the bleed debuff so your frontliners get worn down from the arbalest's bleed attacks but nah they can just decide to 2 shot my poor alchemist PD in slot 3

@@ShuffleFM it is! its almost like their crit chance is inverted, and the % displayed on the wiki is a chance to NOT crit
