B1 and B2 seem to me that are collecting rare LPs. After meeting them you will get into a fight with a robot jukebox that if defeat will spill out a few LPs, you can pick one out of 10 LPs, only 3 show at a time. Each has a diferent rarity and a different price that you will find out by trial and error. If you are lucky enough you will get limited edition of the very first LP by Bob Noodlylan. B1 and B2 would give you anything for that LP...
When you meet Likit you have an eating contest where damage only counts for activating other abilities and health restored is tracked. If you out-heal Likit, you get an offering of items that synergize or weaponize health restoration and if you lose you get an offering of health restoring items. (Maybe Likit only shows up if you have at least one healing item in your build.) B1 and B2 are second-hand item owners, they offer you a pre-made build (maybe from other players or set by devs) that you can bulk-buy the entire set of (replacing your current build) for cheap or buy single items at a more expensive price. (Maybe they only show up, or show up more frequently, right after you lose a fight.)
Likit could first be a fighting encounter, where Likit's board is filled with candy that slowly gets eaten by Likit (shown by the cooldown counters on the candy). As soon as the player defeats Likit. It becomes a merchant selling you the left over candy's. B1 and B2 could sell music related items. Like a tuning fork. That does no damage but has its own internal cooldown and gives that cooldown to neighbour items.(could also bring neighbour items more in tune every activation of the tuning fork) Or they sell you items you sold before but are now "tuned up" aka upgraded items.
Likit should give you three options. 1. Heal XXX (free - non-item) 2. Lolipop (item) (Heals medium amount - costs medium amount) and 3. Long tongue (item) (expensive) ("lick" any opponents healing/food items so that you heal instead of them)
What about B1 & B2 increases or reduces the size of an item. Increasing make the item have some better cooldown/damage or effects and reducing makes them a bit weaker but allows you to keep that item on the board.
This mechanic/idea is the most exciting so far. This will really make it feel like an adventure if done correctly. I was originally excited about this game way back because I love deck building and i was kind of disappointed that the focus changed to an autobattler. BUT, the focus on lore, adventure, and kind of a pick-a-path storytelling game mixed with an autobattler seems super cool. It’s become the game that I didn’t know I wanted rather than the game I thought I wanted. Hype!
I want MORE of these. IT IS SOOO FUUN. I hope there is a way where we can have more context on what this events are about. I don't know it it should be while it happens, or you unlock a new story. But I'm some how really invested in those tiny histories
B1 and B2 could offer pairs of special small+large items that can't be sold back, but upgrade in unique ways over time? Pair of items plays well with the aesthetic of B1/B2 and if those pairs of items are interesting enough, they might be memorable. Then again this is probably a lot of design budget for a single event.
The robot/musician dudes, they could sell you some rhythm related itens, like itens that do X effect and copies the cooldown of adjacent weapons or itens or it can do the opposite, making adjacent itens copy its cooldown time or some sound based weapons/itens like a megaphone or some big ass radio idk
I've been following these updates and this game since it was announced, and I'm curious. Is there any way to get involved in playtesting the game as the builds roll out, or is it purely internal testers etc?
What sort of special event would you like to see made for B1 and B2 & Likit?

I really hope there will be a ton of these special events so you don't see repeats all too often. Is asking for 100 of them too much lol?
It seems like things are really coming together. Every video makes the world more immersive and easy to understand.
B1 and B2 could sell items in a package. So you have to buy both but get a discount for them.
I want MORE of these. IT IS SOOO FUUN.
I hope there is a way where we can have more context on what this events are about. I don't know it it should be while it happens, or you unlock a new story. But I'm some how really invested in those tiny histories
These events sound great, love the implementations you guys worked on. Can't wait to see more!
Christmas beta pls?
Even if it's completely broken that would still be interesting

Now this is what I’m looking for, very hype
This is so cool! If the game has a lot of events like this, I can imagine it being very magical, especially early on when it's all new
Awesome update as always folks! I got a lot of joy out of Stephen being so happy giving this update, I'm glad you are enjoying the project ❤

Very excited for this!
You guys really need to start using de-essers.
