pied piper question

[Natsuno]

sometimes my auto attacks and might attack are purple and do more dmg i guess and dont spread on the might attack, but often they are just yellow and spread how does this trigger i cant find any into for this

[Natsuno]

just notice that they change day and night but still no info about what it changes

[Croustifiak]

Day and night cycle, as you guessed.

Day are more AoE or close range focused with shot spreading like a shotgun, Night are more single target and ranged oriented with a stranght shot you can aim more easily.

[Natsuno]

that is only annoing when this is the only change they made

is it not the oppposite? The night nodes pierce enemies while during the day they dont (but more single target damage up close)

Kinda hate him. Does he get some better talents when you level him up that help keep his rat army up faster?

The best strategy is to completely ignore the rats in my experience, do not pick any talents that improve them. There is one upgrade where the rats dont expire within special, thats the only good rat power imo.

You need to pick upgrades for power or attack only, and it has one of the highest dps potentials in game.

I probably just won't bother then, as the rats were the only reason drawing me in to him to begin with, but they kinda suck.

[Natsuno]

i like the char and he is strong in my eyes the rats are just a burst dmg nothing more.

the point that is annoing for me is if u have the perk where your auto attacks deals more dmg at long range and your spell but you have to stay close to deal dmg.

The problem I have with Piper isn't that he is weak... He's actually one of the strongest in the game.

the issue I have with him is that he is very difficult to gain early momentum with, which can ruin your run. At high difficulty he has trouble dealing with POI mobs and key events, and you waste your clock trying to clear early zones. Makes it tough to earn those first few levels and gain skills/items which will allow you to be more effective.

By contrast, Aladdin has a GREAT kit for the early meta in a run, and you can smash tough POI locations with ease, allowing you to earn key skills which help you gain momentum.


TL;DR Piper good late game, sucks early game for high difficulty.
