Bone armour : What the **** ?!

[fredingue]

So, i feel like being scammed as i bought for 80 pizzas the unlock of a dungeon, level 6 as my chars.

Main fight : i meet a Fire Elemental and Skeletons, armed with bone armor that negate all the damage i make, while my Mage is wiped turn 2.

Is this a Joke, that thing can evade 13 physical damage each time it's hit, level 6, while my best kick is gives 9 ?

I can admit that specials dungeons are not candy, but this is just ridiculous.
Or worst, intended.

This turned to an immediate envy to bash that game, so it was alt-F4-Rage post.

Grrr

Mr Level Desiner, if you really like that style, come play Ad D&D with me, i will reserve a special session for you, you will appreciate, i guess.

And, don't worry, i won't use my Visa card to buy pizzas in our game, i prefer to save it for real ones

Is this the armor you are talking about?
http://wiki.cardhuntria.com/wiki/Cards/Only_Bones
There are two simple solutions,
1: Use attacks that are neither slashing nor piercing
2: Use an attack like Dissolve Armor to get of it. There are many cards that can do this.

Warriors -- Sundering Strike. It's slashing, so the "Only Bones" armor is guaranteed to attempt to prevent damage, so Sundering Strike will destroy it -- every copy in the target's hand -- and do full damage.

There's also a warrior weapon with a single Boiling Armor spell, but that's much less reliable given that you can only get one copy per weapon IIRC.


Wizards -- Boiling Armor and Dissolve Armor both obliterate armor cards. Acid terrain will do it at the start of a turn if they end the previous turn on it. Memory Loss, Perplexing Ray, Short Perplexing Ray can all cause discards. All magic pretty much ignores Only Bones (and Amorphous Body).


Priests -- trickier to force a discard. One easy approach is to throw Savage Curse on the skeleton, so he discards his oldest card whenver he attacks; and to use Impenetrable Nimbus or parries on a designated target.

Example items to use:

http://wiki.cardhuntria.com/wiki/Items/Armorbane_Pendant

Tokenless arcane item, and it's only level 6 and still common -- so it will frequently be available in the normal stores (not Daily Deal or Randimar's Rarities) bought for a measly 5 gold. Dissolve Armor is there, so is Memory Loss. The Combustible isn't particularly bad in this level -- it's more of an issue in the elemental demon levels, but you should be looking for resistant hide robes anyway. This is by far the easiest team-friendly solution in so far as once armor is down, your warrior and/or priest can stab and slash to heart's content.

Could i suggest reading AT LEAST SOMETHING (tutorial, card text, wiki) before flaming here next time? There will be skellies in simple adventures farther on as well, so just change your warrior (and maybe priest) attacks to bashes/bludgeons(the CRUSHING type which cant damage those slimes but works just fine for skellies) or get some armor discarding cards (acid pits/sprays/sunders). Also this armor CAN'T be penetrated.

Well, if you can´t deal with this, better stop playing this game. Every adventure you have to change your equips to win the game. It´s a puzzle game.

[Yxklyx]

I just redid this one with a new party. Some of the suggestions here (Sundering Strike & Armor Counters) aren't usually available to a starting player at this time. Magic attacks and lots of Crushing will work though. Go after the Fire Skeleton first.

[JediMage]

well, acid pits are found relatively early, hard part is to get the enemy stand there at the beggining of the round.
