[Codename]

Kaines' Dinner of Doom 7 runs until Tuesday, November 30th at 12:00 PM Pacific Time, introducing Kaala Rigel and bringing back Momma’s Monster, Gemthel, the Gourmet, RoboTurkey, Momma Kaine, Paul the Pilgrim, Petra the Pilgrim, Chef Casey, and 43G1S!

Kaala Rigel is a Support Crusader. When you want to add her to your formation, you can find her in slot 36.

Yeah, the servers are fine. When we originally put the message about the event in game, with everyone reloading at once it would have caused some time-outs with getting into the game.

Are you still having issues with loading?

Huh, I had the game opened all day and never saw anything come up in-game saying that the next event had started.

Hmm... Looking at the info previewed about the new character in the event window, at first it sounded to me like Bamboo Collection will count all projectiles (so a formation full of projectile shooters would farm stacks for it fast) but on second thought I'm thinking that the new character is probably a projectile shooter and only counts her own shots for that ability? Well, I'll see which way that goes later.

Anyway, starting it now with 883.764T idols. Characters from previous years are all full epic+.

I think the in-game notifications go away after a time, 30 to 60 minutes for most if not all.

I don't see a projectile upgrade for Kaala and she got plenty of stacks for my formation from Gemthel's carrots when her power was propagated to yet more crusaders. Throw in Qadir, Ana G and it was quick to get the achievement. I had Agent 79 in there too, but it wasn't clear that her ricochet power was helping.

I hope Kaala's Bamboo Collection eventually shows us the total number of stacks and not just where it is in counting the current 50. It also seemed like there was some lag in updating the (additive) Zoo Break power, possibly it only updates on area transition?

As was mentioned on Reddit, Kaala's 5th slot rune is oddly targeted at a Critical Chance upgrade, I suppose/expect that is a "fix-it-in-post" item.

Oh, and the Blog post failed to list Angel as a tag for Kalaa.

Nope the new sader itself dont have projectilles.
just put it with mindy and every pewpew-sader in formation, put a tas master on auto progress and farm stacs

you can find your number of stacks for kaala by searching your in game user info/data for redpanda and then dividing by 50. Not that it matter atm since the stacks are currently bugged due to an improper persist being set so they don't survive past a world reset. EDIT: bug stealth fixed monday and stacks should now last.
As a reminder the in game user info/data only updates when you restart the client.

[techlion93]

That is great that they fixed the bug, but I want to watch the stacks accumulate the way that I can for Garnet. I'm not going to restart the game client to get the JSON data every time a projectile is fired.

I still don't get why we would want a 5th rune slot that for a 2nd level Earth rune gives the formation >100% critical click chance. Why would we need a 1e6% critical click chance with a 9th level Earth rune in the slot?

Also sadly, the bug about items not being shown until after a game client restart is still with us.

[frerouche]

You might have forgotten about it since it's a tier 1 talent. It gives 50% dps per 1% crit chance at max level.

To help with farming projectile stacks, Hildr (or Odile when adjacent to 4) will boost Arachno's cooldown upgrade to fire webs every 0.25 seconds. Mindy will also copy and fire at that rate. Arachno's blasts also stun for 1 second.

Agent 79 also has a cooldown upgrade.

Qadir can also do multiple blasts every 0.25 but they share the same slot as Kaala.

Karl has an upgrade for multiple footballs, but still at 5 seconds. Up to 20 footballs for me when next to both Hildr and Odile.

For less lag, I have my team sitting on my cap boss.

Not enough DPS for 5,000 Turkeys. Only made it to 3,500 with e670 at 2.3e15 idols and no runes on anyone.

Kaala (RRR) at e12 Bamboo Collection, and Momma at e36 Monstrous Assembly.

Ended with 911.513T idols and got Kaala into epic / epic / rare gear.
Wow, coming up on the quadrillion line before too long here.
