    I scrubbed through the video and I actually _didn't_ see Lumin Goop in any of the shops, so I guess I got a seed that genuinely _didn't_ have it? Unless someone sees it in one of the shops and I missed it on rewatch.

      Apparently one of the shops might had been replaced with a charm merchant without giving a charm merchant the lumin.

    I appreciate that the art in this game gives hints for combo usage. The soulbound card for instance has decorative skulls in the art - much like Junjun and other summons in the shademancers.
    Also, my jaw dropped at that combo "Umm."

    Bombom is one of my favourite units, legitimately. I think she's a fantastic early to mid-game character who benefits the most from the underutilised (by me) recall-to-heal mechanic. She just obliterates a lot of early fights and is still solid in the late-game without any charms, or you can just sub her out for somebody else once your build is stable

    • @umbertorossin5977

      Don't forget the crazy amount of money she makes in the process. People just never give her a chance.

    • @samfriend3675
      @samfriend3675 Рік тому +1

      I think part of the problem (at least for Retro) is that the early fights aren't hard enough to need Bombom to actually clear them, and he gets a lot of combos anyway. As such, the extra early-game muscle isn't really needed, and so almost any of the alternative options will have more utility or synergy with whatever he's doing. In addition, recalling to heal doesn't heal enough for even a single extra attack without dying, so Bombom needs a LOT of recalls to be reused... for damage that doesn't kill enemies that aren't chaff anyway.

    57:30 put taiga up top, spike on bottom, frostbloom blunky. heartmist station will keep both spike and taiga alive with 2 health. you'd probably still have to sac someone next turn, but you'd have more options to work with that way. only bringing this up because you tend to forget about heartmist station, its quite good! :)

  • @tomthecasual5337

    there is some exponential scaling build possibility with multiple skull mist teas (14:33) and Van Jun (5:23). could be a fun pick if a shade sculptor is on the map.
    a little janky, probably bad... but fun :P
    i also didn't see the goop being offered or a second glowy node indicating that it would be there. probably a bug

    if you decide to do shroom run my advice is make sure you get the final boss kill i'm currently stuck going up against my last shroom team and it is horrible to try and beat, but shroom build is very fun to play

      @jlocker5981 Рік тому +2

      Sorry for replying to a year old comment but this is so true. I literally filled 2 pages of names before i beat my shroom team. It had a 1 cooldown lupa with 3 block, a smackback fungun, and a hero that started with 'apply one shroom to everyone'. It was a fun run! Horrifying to try to beat.

    • @briceandrieux
      @briceandrieux Рік тому +4

      Soulbound deals 100 damage to each other soulbound characters when they die : the egg was killed, dealing 100 damage to the boss and the 2 other enemies, both of them died, dealing 200 more damage to the boss, killing him ^^

    copying bombom with the shade mask then putting her back into the deck is pretty fun. Had a run where I could dupe her twice (after the first dupe died that is).
    That's a lot of barrage damage and health.

      Make it "Aply soulbound to an ally *OR* a random enemy."
      So you need to use it twice to work at all, and to an random opponent at that.

      I think it's really fun the way it is now. I'd rather it be effectively unusable 90-95% of the time, but absurdly broken the other 5-10% over it being mid 100% of the time. (Plus it still has value as-is as an absolutely desperate Hail Mary of a YOLO to try to save a doomed situation.)

    • @Flygonite
      @Flygonite Рік тому +1

      If I'm reading the effect right, it triggers whenever anything with soulbound dies, and there were four units total with soulbound. So it technically could have taken 100 damage three times! (but the second hit was enough, which is why the boss's hp shows -90)

    @booleah6357 Рік тому +1

    I can think of only one scenario where soulbound would be decent but it takes so much setup for something that probably isn't worth it. You could put a bunch of crowns on something to kill your own ally then before you play your leader you set your ally down and merc them triggering the soulbound. The only issue is does leave you down a guy if the boss fight hasn't started unless it's a summon build.

    • @eugenides04
      @eugenides04 Рік тому

      Just gotta crown the Soulbound card an a Junjun summon, which only means picking up 1 crown at a shop if you're on 2+ bells. You can let an enemy kill the Junjun to trigger the effect. Also, you can exploit the Block effect to ignore the damage. Or you can run a bunch of units and just not lose the 1/6. There's multiple viable options!
