PLS rework excalibur and all game lol

[EvilPolygon]

excalibur must have in every single game. unless you wanna stare at health points of every enemy as loading screen simulator.

if you can't take excalibur on first map - next map is a pretty hard. third is a insane difficult. certainly you won't have time to clear whole map. you can be lucky on second quest but it's a problem - dmg on some heroes to small and ogre can eat sinbad. you can take a few levels and try quest but it's a bunch of precious time. not to mention that the longer you fight, the greater the chance of take damage

game force you to take excalibur early as much as possible and skip all other fun legendaries. such heroes as wukong can beat a game without excalibur. it would be not comfort gameplay but he can. flute man is useless without excalibur. he doesn't have any high burst dmg abilities. only dps.

my suggestion remove dmg buff from excalibur completly and add like chance 3% for every legendary skill to decrease defence on enemies from attacks (or something other like random) . and also decrease health on mobs and bosses on second and third map for balance. this will help not to be so dependent on excalibur, try other legendaries, don't waste reroll stars for excalibur and use them for build of dream. that would be more fun that hope for excalibur early

some say "skill issue". but i already win a game on max difficult on every hero and all games with modificators also at max difficult

I'm pretty sure all of my Darkness and Nightmare wins have come without Excalibur. I just don't really prioritize it until chapter 3 and by then I usually feel strong enough to take a defense item.

Money builds are the problem, not excalibur.
On nightmare 4coop, 90% of wins are because someone stacked leprecoins eggs and thus broke the game and it became easymode.

i dont thinks eggs are so op. even you are lucky enough to get 4 eggs and spend 2100 gold from all game it would be 56 dmg. not so much. not to mention get any one specific item 4 times is a bit challenge and luck. excalibur for all gold abilities give you 90 dmg and it's a just one item.

i have a screenshot of a game with alladin when i get master thief ability and stack 222 dmg. yes it's a lot of damage but you still can defeat because mistakes and taking damage. it's just speeds up your gameplay

Excalibur definitely isn't that prized in harder difficulties. In easier difficulties sure, but in Darkness and Nightmare there are equal or better options. Eggs and coins are definitely where you get the power builds going.

[Cheese.chr]

skill issue, excalibur is only maximum 90 attack, and an investment of dozen of golds

there are other items that straight up give 100%x multipliers and better with minimal to zero investment

...200h of gameplay and you're posting that without Excalibur there's no way to get damage?

Is this a troll bait?

Money rules the game. You got coins? You automatically scale into some beast. Stacking items becomes easy, you can unlock item sets, etc. and break enemies that way more effectively.

That is definitely the idea! I think the biggest thing to keep in mind is that all difficulties can be beat without a power build though. So unless your goal is to kill Baba Yaga in less then 5 seconds or something, you don’t need a power build. For example I had a build on Carmilla that was like 5 jack of diamonds 3 raven beaks and two thunder stones or something. I think I had Hungry Grass for some scaling. The only talents I had maxed were Sadism and Go For The Throat.

I ended up beating Nightmare comfortably with that.

if u go for excalibur in the first chapter u are throwing :D and need to learn how to build . find out what u want to do before u start the game . if u want a power build stack 4 kings thats 80% power dmg , and 40crit chance on power . go for bako and coin commen item (5 stacks gives u a free reroll bonus on everything) to make it easy for u to reroll . if u are down on on fate use a yellow or red book to get 3-4 fates . focus on getting your item stack up so u get the bonuses and later when u have gold u can upgrade talents . dont waste all your money on upgrading talent for just 5-10% more dmg . on king is 20% more power dmg u get alot more from 1 of them tehn upgrading 1 talent all teh way and u have alot more money to use on wishing well and get even more items .

Don't really remember Excalibur is what.
Maybe is a really good item, but nothing as important as ogre blood in my eye

+10 dmg for each golden talent you have

Excalibur scales well with time, but early on doesn't do anything. You would also be getting no items from well and shop so, meh.
Meanwhile other legendaries/cursed objects do have impact on your snowball.

true somewhat. but you need excalibur one way or another because easy dmg. i prefer take it earlier and not worry about it. however even on first map it can give you 20-30 dmg. i'll take it
