  • SG King: The Final Checkmate Part 19 - that might get in the way of my blade build. It's rank 9, and this may be the first difficulty to finally get me. Strap in tight, it's gonna be a good fight.

    I love how the white cards he got kinda tell a story if you rearrange them. King had a secret mistress which lead to a secret heir. To keep the secret, the King put the son into the army and made it so everyone would get Pikeman training so he'd be safer. Then the bishops started to read from the red book, only to be overthrown by the pawns...

      From my experience in shotgun king, the blade gun ‘nakeda’ and the three shot gun ‘Richard III’ are the worst in the game due to their low base damage and the extra shot or melee aren’t worth it, the starting gun ‘solomon’ and the knockback gun ‘Ramesses II’ are the mid tier guns and the one you chose depends on if you’re willing to trade fire arc for knock back and finally the single shot gun ‘Victoria’ is the best gun in the game due to its ability to 1 shot all pieces before cards are added

    The thing about Sacred Crown is, when you get it, and you use soul cards EVERY time you get one to get MORE soul cards, you practically have twic the amount of turns of white, and just one extra turn is already insane. Imagine an entire 100% extra, and that's not counting bushido.
    The white pieces are basically paralysed because to them, you're moving at 3 times the speed of normal humans and picking their people off before they can even react.

    If you want the secret ending you need to leave a bishop alive with the red book at the boss then there are 2 endings that come from it if you have a shotgun shell in the chamber you destroy the book when you kill the black bishop if you don’t have a shell in the chamber it gets passes to a white pawn and it’s the end

    By the way Tyler, hitboxes take up the entire tile the piece is on, so if the fire arc fits within the tile an enemy is on, every pellet will pass through that tile (assuming you don't have Saboteur doubling the arc of some bullets). The best example of this is that it is practically impossible to shoot an enemy diagonally from you if you have two enemies adjacent to you orthogonally.

    The casual disrespect for taunting hop here is brutal. I generally consider it to be the strongest card in the game. It allows you to move for free on most turns. Moving for free allows you to reload without spending a turn, gives you free ammo regen and allows you more options to flee check since you can move twice in 1 turn. It also allows you to move into check to kill things with blade which is handy.
