Eye patch, wow!

[Salty_McSweet]

The devs may want to reconsider the power of the eye patch. I just tried the "veteran" fighter for the very first time and had the easiest run I've ever had. Killing Millenis was a breeze.

I did get lucky early on by getting the eye patch, and the boots that offer the veteran's jab with ricochet. From then on I was breezing through almost every fight living off the nearly endless stream of evades generated by successively cloned veteran's jabs. I also got the card that when upgraded triples your strength, so imagine firing off that card twice in one turn multiple times during long fights that churn your deck more than once. I often had strength approaching 500. :)

Things got even easier when I got the light armor that has "effortless motion". I could now burn valuable cards at will because any time effortless motion showed up I popped it first to create a clone of it while unburning all those tasty cards, like those yummy veteran's jabs I mentioned earlier that gave me tons of evades.

It was an entertaining run, but seriously overpowered.

Thanks for such a full and helpful report, we'll make sure to take care of the issue in the near future!

One suggestion would be to make the clone the eye patch creates both ethereal and burn. That way you can use the copy immediately but it burns and you can only get it out by unburning it, or if you don't use it immediately it just goes poof. Even if you do unburn it, it should still be flagged as ethereal and burn. That would at least prevent the situation I was in where in long fights you can make copies that then make copies and so on.

I tried the veteran a bunch more times since that first time, and to be honest I never had a problem getting all the way through and beating Milennis even without the eye patch on the standard difficulty. His energy situation makes it pretty easy.

When I finally got the eye patch again, I used an elven sword to just keep creating multiple copies of the card that gives an evade. Use it twice in a turn to get two evades. Then have two copies in the discard that come around to make two more copies. Long fights would end up with a dozen or so churning through the deck and I was banking evades in the double digits. :)

Was the eye patch a specific item drop from a boss?
