[DD2] So, the Runaway
Quinneapolis
seems..... bad
Quinneapolis
only two damaging moves, only one of which is available in any position, only single target
Quinneapolis
and the rest is like fiddling with stealth
Gabiluzbad
She gets more viable as you unlock more things for her
Gabiluzbad
But like
Gabiluzbad
She's not my favorite
Gabiluzbad
Just a real all rounder
Gabiluzbad
Can do just about anything you need her to passably well, but doesn't really excel at much
Quinneapolis
I have her in 3rd slot and when there's one enemy left in the front row she just becomes completely useless
Quinneapolis
how do I use pets
Quinneapolis
or this thing
or this thing
Gabiluzbad
There's a slot for them on your wagon
Gabiluzbad
go to the wainwright at the inn
Quinneapolis
aha
Quinneapolis
well
Quinneapolis
I fought a being
Quinneapolis
it killed my plague doctor
Quinneapolis
in the first zone
Quinneapolis
so, not going great
Quinneapolis
also we have 0 wheels and 1armor
Quinneapolis
this expedition is like 5 minutes in
Quinneapolis
urgent repairs time
Quinneapolis
hellion dead
Quinneapolis
Dismas is having a meltdown
Quinneapolis
oh hey we survived
Quinneapolis
sort of
Quinneapolis
there's two people left and they hate each other
Quinneapolis
back down to 0/0 wagon
Quinneapolis
easily my least favorite new mechanic is enemies getting Death's Door
Quinneapolis
it does nothing but take away moments of victory
Quinneapolis
and game over
Quinneapolis
either my first run was absurdly lucky or this was an absurd farce of disaster
Gabiluzbad
It sounds like this was an absurd disaster
Gabiluzbad
which does happen occasionally
Gabiluzbad
Upgrades at the intrepid coast can give you more armor/wheels
Quinneapolis
weird shit I don't understand keeps happening
Quinneapolis
the Hellion got hit with a stun attack, it said "Resist Stun", then she went to the back of the party and was stunned, the next turn automatically returned to the front of the party
Quinneapolis
then she used her big melee hit on a corpse and did no damage
Quinneapolis
a dog used up his dodge, counterattacked, then gained another dodge for some reason
Gabiluzbad
I don't know what's up with the Hellion there
Gabiluzbad
Dogs automatically get a dodge whenever they attack
Quinneapolis
that seems like a nightmare
Gabiluzbad
Check her flaws and shit
Gabiluzbad
Multitarget attacks are useful for burning through dodge
Gabiluzbad
And they're pretty fragile otherwise so you can focus them down pretty easy
Quinneapolis
unless they have riposte, in which case every time you attack them, they dodge, attack, and regain dodge
Gabiluzbad
I don't think the riposte attack counts
Quinneapolis
it 100% does
Quinneapolis
I saw it happen
Quinneapolis
it was the incident that confused me
Quinneapolis
GOD I fucking hate death's door mechanics so much it's so fucking unfun
Gabiluzbad
alrighty then
Quinneapolis
drop midboss to 0 HP, he survives randomly, then the other enemy gets a crit heal bringing him back up to half health
Quinneapolis
no strategy to it just eat shit
Quinneapolis
"use attacks that pierce death resist" I did
Quinneapolis
I seem to have found a brain
Quinneapolis
oh it was a GOOD brain
Quinneapolis
Denial clear
Gabiluzbad
nice
Gabiluzbad
The locks killed me a few times
Quinneapolis
We beat them, but it wasn't fun, for us
Quinneapolis
three meltdowns
Cyouni
I'm actually in a discord with one of the primary designers so if you have any burning questions I can ask them for you
Quinneapolis
not at present, I'm getting the hang of it
