Tales of… the here and now.

Now

Random stuff I would post on Facebook, Instagram, Mastodon and/or Bluesky. In English, German , or even worse: mixed. 

(And for the moment: way too many post about The Bazaar.)

Holy crap. I didn’t have much hope for the end game. But this Tech build got really fast. Overwhelmed in seconds.

I didn’t think a Freeze Build could work with Dooley. Boy, was I wrong. Took some time to get the Nitrogen Hammer to Platinum, but after that you reach high Bonk damage pretty fast.

Look Ma, no dinos! Dooley is the GOAT right now.

Ok, maybe dinosaurs are too strong. Every dino build I had so far got me to ten wins. Maybe that changes as soon as more people get their dino expansion.

I love the new season in The Bazaar. Heavy Firepower for my overpowered Dinosaur/Relic build? Sure, gimme. (Heavy Firepower: If you have 5 or fewer items in play, your Weapons have +75 Damage.) 

The Bazaar: The ability »Heavy Firepower« is offered

Rooooaaaaarrr. My first (forced) Dooley Dinosaur Build was a smashing success. At first that Dinosawer looked rather weak, but this item was the MVP. With some valuable support from Tanky Anky and the Metronome. This is a fun extension.

I am finally back in Krat for the weekend (and probably the next few weeks). The DLC is a fine occasion to replay #LiesOfP.

This was a fun one. A working Burn Build for Vanessa. But with Solar Farm, Calcinator and Restorative Fire Claw. What a wild mix.

The Bazaar: 10 Wins, Gold Victory, with Vanessa and a burn build

Whoop whoop. Another perfect win thanks to this nice little Obsidian Railgun. The 28% Crit on this was helpful as well.

Ok. A Jabalian Drum build is quite boring. But this one was thrusted upon me. The Slow enchantment made this really unfair. A Heavy Jabalian Drum should not exist. I mean, with five multicast weapons and a Yo-Yo this was unbeatable.

I was quite happy with my overpowered multi-attack weapons build. Till that 559 Burn (in combat) Fiery Subscraper overpowered me.

The Bazaar: Overpowered by a nasty Burn build

Like cutting through butter. I rarely use the Railgun or the Atomic Clock. But a Shiny Railgun and a Turbo Atomic Clock with six Ammo just blasted through the competition. (I just shouldn’t have picked a fight with Lord Arken. I couldn’t handle his Vitality Potion.)

The Bazaar: 10 Wins, Gold Victory. With a Dooley-Railgun-Tech-build.

Uh, another wild mix. I threw away a nice Toxic Grenade + Powder Flask + Silencer + Orange Julian + Crow's Nest combo. Just because I got an Obsidian Tortuga. This worked fine with Bill Dozer and Electric Eels. Even though I had no healing. Can’t believe this ended in a perfect win.

Ok, Windmill, I see your value now. In this run I ended with a wild Windwill, Apropos Chapeau, Draconic Rage, Restorative Yo-Yo mix. Pretty OP. But that Obsidian Powder Keg nearly finished me in the last encounter. Good thing I had enough health. That one was fun.

Holy crap. Another oppressive build. Toxic Katana with 1.6s Cooldown, a Turbo Silencer that adds a 2s Haste for every stab with the Katana. Pendulum that charges for 2s. And the ability Venomous Blade: The first 8 times you use a Weapon each fight, Charge 1 Poison item 1 second(s). This adds up to one of the fastest builds I’ve ever had. With 300 Poison on the enemy before you even know what has happened.

And I just realised this game needs an option to download a video of complete fights.

The Bazaar: 10 Wins, last encounter, Vanessa against Vanessa

One of the most oppressive builds I’ve ever had. Obsidian Jabalian Drum – what a combination. I didn’t even need the Skyscraper.

The Bazaar: 10 Wins, Gold Victory, another weapons build with Pygmalien

It was a gamble to put in the Octopus in the last encounter. Or so I thought. Cause that animal works so well with Yo-Yo and Knife Set.

The Bazaar: 10 wins with Pyg, last encounter against Vanessa

Uh, it’s one of those rare perfect victories, at least for me. Then again, an Obsidian Matchbox as starting item, with Jabalian Drums, and later the Obsidian Caltrops, was hardly any competition. Felt rather unfair on my part.

The Bazaar: 10 Wins, Perfect Victory, with Pygmalien

Shielded Catfish for the perfect win. I think this is the first time those Diamond Fangs did something for me (Your Small Diamond-tier items have their Cooldowns reduced by 30%).

The Bazaar: Last encounter with Vanessa, against Vanessa. The Shielded Catfish did 1438 Poison, and 14380 Shield.

Tzz. Here I have Restorative Volcanic Vents, with Haste and Charge support, plus  Draconic Rage (When you use a Medium item, one of your Burn items gains +10 Burn for the fight), a lifestealing Toxic Sharkray on top. And it was still close. A few encounters with too much Slow/Freeze nearly prevented my ten wins.

Vor Jahren habe ich mein Konto bei #LinkedIn gelöscht, weil ich genervt war. Neulich habe mich vorsichtig wieder angemeldet. Um mal zu schauen. Ich war nach 2min direkt wieder hart genervt. Nun nun kommt eine E-Mail mit »Nicolai, folgen Sie Friedrich Merz, Bundeskanzler bei Bundeskanzleramt«. #aargh

It has been some time since I had my last ten-win-run in The Bazaar. In this case I didn’t have to put too much effort in. I got an Restorative Catfish as start item. Together with a Shadowed Cloak this little fish was hard to beat.

The new season of Hearthstone Battlegrounds hasn’t clicked for me yet. It seems to rely too much on luck and getting the right trinkets. But here I finally got something decent. Plenty of Tarecgosa courtesy of trinket one. With trinket two being: Give each of your minions Health equal to its attack. Got me an easy first place in the end.
