I'm pretty new to the game, still in silver league and I would like to hear from more experienced players

So far, I find the easiest way to win is to abuse the multicast mechanic, with items like Crescentshot, Wand, paired with potions to trigger items that have "whenever you heal" (Redemption) or "whenever you gain shield" (Warrior shield).

It seems to me that mechanics like shock, for example, lack synergies with the rest of the item pool, whereas multicast synergizes with everything (bleed, burn, poison, "when you heal/shield, trigger)

At my rating I hardly ever see sucessful builds that don't rely on multicast, and almost no shock, bleed, dark synergy. Does it stay the same on higher ratings?

I tried the Factorio demo but it was overwhelming.

I'd like to discover the "automation" genre with a more accessible game.

I would prefer top down camera over third person camera.

What would you recommand?

I wonder, among the content that spawns in maps, which ones do you usualy skip on leaguestart, because it slows character progression.

My (uneducated) guess would be:

-Blight

-Ritual

-Incursion

-Heist

-Ultimatum

-Expedition

-Legion

Just wondering if they can be better than maps (limited by scarabs).

Afaik, voyages have:

-Spectral infuser: Essences are higher Tiers and Strongboxes are at least Rare in Charts and Voyages

-Adjacency bonus to spawn more imprisoned monsters

-No need for scarab

I'd like to leaguestart one of these 2 melee builds if they don't get nerfed next league. I would transition into transfigured gems (complex trauma or gathering lightning) after farming lab.

Did you play one of these? Would you recommend them for softcore ssf?

I would like a tanky allrounder build that is good at farming breach

En version originale, il s'agit d'un roman en vers rimés. J'ai essayé la traduction folio de Jean-Louis Backès mais elle n'est pas en rime. On a donc un texte dans lequel on perd la fluidité de la prose sans gagner la musicalité des rimes.
J'imagine que traduire en essayant de garder le sens et les rimes doit être un travail affreusement difficile mais j'ai vu que quelques traducteurs avaient relevé le défi, notamment André Marcowicz.

Quelles traductions recommandez-vous?

Hi, I don't know what to think about this build. Anybody tried something like that?

What are the pros and the cons?

Bonjour

Je me pose cette question au sujet de Si c'est un homme, de Primo Levi, qui raconte sa déportation en camp de concentration et que je lis en ce moment.

C'est un livre extraordinaire et qui fait beaucoup réfléchir. Je pense qu'il faudrait que tout le monde le lise mais c'est en même temps si terrible que le moral baisse de 2 ou 3 crans pendant toute la période de lecture et après.

J'ai l'impression qu'il n'y a jamais de bon moment pour lire ce genre de livres. Quand on va bien, ça va nous déprimer, et quand on va mal, ça va nous enfoncer.

Pourtant il faudrait le lire pour tout ce que ça nous apprend, non seulement sur l'Histoire, la Shoah, mais aussi sur l'âme humaine, à la fois celle des bourreaux et des victimes.

Bonjour

J'ai essayé de lire Belle du Seigneur, j'ai été très dérouté par le style et j'ai abandonné.

Est ce qu'il y a d'autres livres plus accessibles pour commencer?

Hi, as you've been kind enough to answer my noobish questions in last posts, here is another batch:

1-What are the "classic" victory conditions?

2-Some healing spells specify "Do/don't revive fallen units" but some skills don't, for example :

Guardian

Whenever a friendly creature kills an enemy, it fully restores its HP.

Is there a default rule when the text doesn't specify whether it revives fallen units or not?

Hi, new player here, thanks to everybody who helped in my first serie of questions.

Here are some more questions after playing a bit more:

1-How am i supposed to get tier 5 spells. Afaik, Mage guild stops at tier 4

2-Is heroic strike considered magic damage?

3-Can my traps be triggered by and damage my own units?

4-I need clarification about the wording: stack/unit/creature/enemy

For example, is this considered 1 stack of 74 units?

If I'm correct, creature is a synonym of stack, and enemy means "enemy stack"

Hi, new player here, I love the game so far, I just have a few questions I can't find answers to:

1-How to evolve a hero into the more powerful version? For example a Knight can evolve into Swashbuckler or Paragon

2-Heroes that have a bias toward a certain unit, for example John Johnson Swordsman growth in your cities increases by 1. Under his command, Swordsmen gain 1 Speed, 1 Initiative, and 20% HP: does it also apply to swordsman upgrade? (Guard Captain and Sun's Aegis)

3-Blessing spell (Daylight magic tier1) Target friendly creature deals + 10% Damage with basic attacks: does ranged attacks count as basic attacks?

Edit: 4-What is the base hero's sight?

I'm new to SSF, and i'd like to ask a few questions:

-Are Kingsmarch mappers popular among players? I feel i don't have other good gold dump after getting a 6 link and a decent weapon from shipping

-What to do with memory strand items? In trade league, i would slam an essence and sometimes get something good, but in SSF, essences don't come easy.

-Is recomb+ multimod the best way to get a good weapon for most builds?

My first atlas is focusing on map sustain, breach hives, elder/shaper map drops and destructive play

I don't know what to do with the spare points and the 2nd atlas.

I'm playing Storm burst totem, the next big upgrade will be shaper shield, so i'll be running shaper guardian invitations.

Maybe adding strongboxes for operative strongboxes? Or Eater/Exarch altars?

Your Maps are opened with 5 additional random Unallocated Notable Atlas Passives

Is it a nobrainer in softcore (always take this node if your build can handle the increased difficulty)?

Does some tool exist to make a weighted search in SSF tabs?

I hoarded 2 full tabs of wands, and would like to find the one that gives the best dps without the hassle

I've been trying to get a 6 link ES or hybrid ES chestpiece.

So far i've used Genesis tree and shipping wheat to Moti Aro

I got about 15 5 links but no 6 links.

Is there a better way? I didn't try gambling for gold, does it give good results?
